I agree that it's silly to compare one person with another and even stupider to compare their life goals. However, we can conclude that k2d would have been way worse off in the US.

You've been saying this since you joined the forum almost five years ago, he has more money and skills now than then.

he has no skills that make him employable. it's a hand to mouth existence.

Yet he is employed, and building up passive income. What's your job, income and age? He may be better off than you were at his age.

We don't know how much is that passive income yearly...

so you are saying that if things dont work out and i have no way to earn and only 'exist' here for a year and a half after the day i stop earning

and then the horrific result is...... i have to go live like you

i actually had a pretty bomb plan of robbing 6 figures from somewhere, id say 95% i would have made it out of the establishment with the cash.... just a matter of if i could have not walked right into a passing cop or something.... with my life id put it at 2 to 1 having buried money somewhere or being dead

People really need to learn to recognize when they are in a pissing contest. Then learn to leave it as soon as humanly possible.

i don't think so. he's not employed. he writes blog articles for $5. he's unemployable. he couldn't even get a job teaching english. this is not meant to be mean, i'm just stating the truth about his life.

i'm sure his life amuses you on some level much like his life amuses me, but let's be real. no-one would willingly choose to live like he does. he's a person with serious mental illnesses who is barely coping with life.

when people talk about passive income they talk about an investment portfolio or legitimate business, not a sex tourist blog.

that's your problem right there. you've built up this feeling in your head that having an actual job or career is the worst thing in the world.

some times it's not all about instant gratification as it is in your life. you're just too lazy, too weak, too afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

if i had to guess, my prediction is that you'll end up a statistic in the filipino flying club in the next 5-10 years. it's already a hand to mouth existence you're living. you're unemployable. one of your income sources will dry up, your savings will diminish. that's the reality of your life.

Guy moves to Asia with barely 2 pennies to rub together and somehow manages to survive for 3 years in various countries and cities and you accuse him of being too scared to get out of his comfort zone and get a 9-5 office job?

Lol.

not the worst thing in the world, but not something i want to do

next time you are sitting around at the office bored out of your mind and not able to leave....... which will happen 5 days a week for the rest of your life..... just remember that i and many others on here havent had that feeling in so long that we forgot what it was like


im gonna take pooters advice and just end this, which should have been done 100 posts ago......... after saying that i just moved to a new spot, i live in probably the nicest condo building in the city, have had 2 girls visit me each day for free, except one day i only got 1 to come over

i have enough savings to last a year and a half if for some strange reasons i quit earning any money whatsoever so have plenty of time to adapt

yet despite being told that many times you keep saying 'living hand to mouth'

one of us doesnt know what that expression means, pretty sure its you

he was playing poker for a living in vegas.

it was too expensive, so he moved to south-east asia to grind on the internet. he went to SEA because he had no other option if he wanted to continue gambling for a living.

and he did have a bankroll when he left vegas.

a bankroll 30% what it is now with no passive income....... and no vegas being too expensive wasnt why i left

keep reaching tho!

lol vegas is cheaper than the philippines to live

how much did you make this year? i'm just curious.

don't be ridiculous. there's no way dante could live off of $200 per week in vegas.

Jeezzz this is just terrible.

I like where this discussion is heading. Trip reports pls.


Trollolo lives in lala land. Tho is debatable if k2d has a great life, his life would likely suck in the US. It was a great decision by him to move.

I'll just leave these here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...re-overweight/

https://www.gobankingrates.com/perso...icans-savings/

his life would suck because he lives in fear. if he had been working the last 5 years in the US he'd have a work history or working towards a career and having a future.

dante has no real future. he's a deathpat.

what people have in savings isn't really relevant. that's a reflection of the american mindset.

if dante was in the US he'd have as much if not more savings than he has now. dante squirrels away every spare dollar he can because he's very fearful of the future.

i feel sorry for the guy. clearly he's mentally ill, he's been getting the wrong kind of encouragement from people, he has no friends in real life, no employment prospects, his life will never be better than it is right now which is plain sad.

the fact is his fate is 5-10 years from now he just from a balcony or from the top floor of a shopping mall somewhere in south-east asia. if were being brutally honest then that is how it ends for him.

no idea, actual earnings are like 2 g's less than i spent so maybe 10kish

but the work i did over the year could definitely prove to be by far the most profitable i have ever done in my life, and ever will do

im in the same position as millions of people........ the big G doesn't *** with me and things are looking good

you do realize that because of headaches i would have risked my life to rob somewhere 3 years ago had i not left the US

there is zero chance i would live a boring 9 to 5 in a sex prison when i feel like **** 80% of days

but keep spouting the same ignorant crap you have for 5 years

and surely if/when something goes wrong u will be the first to pull a 'told you so' even though u have been wrong all along and still will be if/when that happens

lol69 you really don't come off as the happier person out of the two of you.

Chill out mate, your irrationality around k2 simply confirms everything we already think about you.

have you ever tried to cure these headaches? ever go to doctors. i think the headaches are a symptom of your crippling anxiety.

you are unhappy because your life is unstable and you have no future. you are completely addicted to sex. it controls your life.

the fact is you're lazy and would rather jump off a balcony than improve yourself and/or get a job.

i won't have to tell anyone so because i already know how it ends for you and so do you.

it's your choice no-one else's.

He's got a job, it's just top secret in case lonelybox starts doing it

i'm sure he's happy. a lot of people out there who live in fantasy worlds, people who are addicts who day-to-day are "happy" or happier than they would do if they were doing something "boring" with their lives. he chases a high from one day to another in the form of cheap sex.

but at some point sooner rather than later it ends for dante and it won't be pretty for him.

i'm the only one being rational. dante has no future. he's too far gone. too addicted to cheap sex, no ambition to improve himself in any way.

it was his choice.
