I can imagine Philippines being much more comfortable for him, especially after working that long there.
I am hopelessly optimistic, no matter how much life beats me down, I still believe I will be rich (at least compared to my parents and most of the people around me) doing all the things I love. Building the foundation just takes a long time
You can't be more right there. Solid foundation takes a long time indeed. Cheers to us who approach life via road less taken.☺️
