Money talk

There is no such thing as extemporaneous acquisition. Perfection is not gained any more than heaven at a single bound. We build the ladder by which we rise. - Daniel Webster

I'm still here.

Of late, I've been thinking about what to do next. As I've mentioned before, I have forfeited the re-assessment discount on the fee because of some plans that has gone kaput. I'm not going to delve on that anymore. I've asked around about other immigration options available.

New Zealand is still on the list. The settlement funds, according to my source, tantamount to Php800,000 -- this is for a family of four. I'm not sure if the required fund is equivalent to Php200,000 per applicant.

In Canada for example, the settlement fund required by the immigration department is Can$10,000 thereabouts. And that is just for one applicant. I have no information on Australia's settlement funds. I'm still collecting data. My friend, G, told me that it is best to raise Php500,000 just to be sure.

Frankly, all these talk about settlement funds a.k.a show money dampens my hopes.
