How to Live Comfortably on US$1,000 a Month

January 26, 2012

You’d be hard-pressed living in the USA for US$1,000.00 a month, but outside the USA, you’ll find plenty.

One place I can recommend is the Philippines.

Fist, every Filipino speaks English. Try engaging even kids on the street, and you’d be surprised at how they’re able to carry a decent conversation with you. Second, the Philippines has plenty to offer sun and sand buffs. Third, Filipinos naturally warm up to foreigners. And, yes, one can live in the Philippines for under US$1,000.00 a month.

How to Earn Extra Money Like It’s The Easiest Thing to Do

January 22, 2012

You know you’re not earning well enough if, despite spending only for that which is necessary, you still find yourself with just enough till the next paycheck comes.

One way to get yourself out of this bind is to moonlight. Try to find work you can do after office. That’s around four hours to work with, four hours that sometimes can give you the equivalent of an extra month’s salary.

But, unless your moonlighting is woven around your hobbies or interests, your moonlighting activities will only be such a heavy burden on you.

Look At What They’re Teaching Now At Seminaries

January 19, 2012

I heard the heresy for the first time in a homily, although I couldn’t recall precisely who the priest was. I took a mental note of taking it up with the priest after the Holy Mass, but one look from my wife (somehow she knows whenever there’s something I don’t like in what the priest says) stopped me.

I’ve all but forgotten about it until last week when I read about it again in Catholic Answers, specifically from articles written by Steve Ray and Jack Taylor, and after speaking with a teacher friend who’s likewise heard about it, again, from a priest.

I’m Getting Old, And Loving Every Minute Of It!

January 18, 2012

After 57 years of trying, I am now the person I have always wanted to be.

In this job, the young executive, now 31,helps clients raise funds in capital markets and facilitates mergers and acquisitions. In fact, he’s rumored to take the place of his boss who’s being promoted.

One day, he received a call from a member of the Board. He was coming to Paris for a visit to a large client.
