All in all, I've put almost 20,000 pisos into my generator and generating system. Most businesses can't afford that kind of expense... although as time goes on, they may choose to.<br /><br />Luc, I wish I could say, "No, this time will be different," with all the confidence I'm now feeling and believe myself 100%... but the fact is, yes: What you say is true. <br /><br />But I also know many foreigners who have succeeded as well, and the fact is, Warren and I have studied long and hard and literally sat for hours trying to figure everything that could go wrong, and developed ways to avoid or solve those problems that we hope will work. That's really the best we can do: Hope that our plan works. The risk is higher here in The Philippines than elsewhere, but the reward is substantially higher as well.<br /><br />Tom, I'm not sure I could convince people that it is better to work from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. 7 days per week for $100 per month than to not work at all. But that is what I have my two farm managers for.Jil Wrinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289612869693691661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-70675472206712696542010-03-04T19:49:47.026-05:002010-03-04T19:49:47.026-05:00Quite true.

I wondered if it would be some of your wife's family or if you would just hire folks.<br /><br />I think most folks would agree that having a job is much better than not having a job.Tom Nhttp://virtualschoolnews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943735266880000142.post-74872824859942716852010-03-04T09:09:20.860-05:002010-03-04T09:09:20.860-05:00I met my wife in the Philippines in 1986.
