5 year old laptop, no money, no passport, no plane ticket, no online winning record.

Can you at least post a pic of your mom to pay back the work people have done here in answering your inane and pointless questions?

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

Metrobank gave me 42 pesos to 1$ when I opened my account.

Money changers all give me 41.5 pesos to 1$

I don't know anything that's just my experience this month.

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

lovelee im going to PI first, why people dont believe things i say i dont understand, but with my current bankroll situation charlie harpers in shinoukville at $150 a month does sound the best so if i dont really love PI im gonna check out charlies

its not friday for me yet, thats tomorrow

and i think with your bank and money exchanger situation its one of two things, either you arent taking into account that the exchange rate changes all the time, so when u exchanged at the bank the dollar was worth more on that day, or you didnt hunt for a good exchange place that gave a good value and just went with the first you found

i know that youre there and im not, but ive read 1,000+ times that money exchangers give a better rate

i have been told on another forum that you can, and they also said you could with citibank, i hope thats true since thats what i have right now but i dont think it is
I have been using the Scwhab account for a about a year here. It is good.

All ATM fees refunded and no foreign transaction fee. I also have local accounts, but having schwab / an american account is useful as a large portion of my salary I have sent back to the states and this way I can access it conveniently.

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

I assume he's leveling saying he's not going.

There is almost no way a winning player living modestly in PH with a $7k roll and grinding a good bit will go broke. Add to that he has a plane ticket home and I see nothing to worry about for the near future and his adventure.

The long term future of being a winning player and future of the state of the game itself, putting away retirement money, resume gap for contingency plans down the road are different concerns however.

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

Just double checked my bank deposit receipt and Metrobank gave me 42.288
Per $1 and I've been to 3 money changers all gave me 41.5 to 1$.

Not sure why no one believes me.

Re: Anyone to ask about living in the Philippines?

K2d is pussin out... but good for him. He has better things to do, like take care of his depression. Running off to a 3rd world country is only going to make that much, much worse.

Saying he was just yanking everyone's chain about really going is a nice afterthought, but I think reality may have finally hit him.

About a week ago he said he was expecting his passport in a day or 2, then he said he had it for a month. So which is it? Probably better for all of you over there that he doesn't go, one less potential sob story trying to extract your hard earned $$.
