basically im not satisfied with my earnings.. for a bread winner like me i believe that 24 hours are not enough for me to earn in order to support our daily needs. especially that i am working in a company for almost 2 years now.. i am only receiving a salary that is equivalent to an income of a newbie.. especially i have 7 dependents, all of them are just depending to me ive been working for 4 years now but yet i havent saved any penny for myself.. im from the philippines, and as a resident of my country, we are experiencing shortage on basic commodities like rice supplies, agricultural crops and etc.. prices in the market arose.., and other agricultural products are getting more expensive.. so how can you divide that small income if you are only receiving a minimum rate of earnings? that's why im planning to work abroad because you are working the same amount of hours but you will be earning as much as your regular earnings in the philippines.. so why do i have to wait for something that will never happen in the first place? its better to do something possible than to wait for something impossible...:(

I am not the bread winner because my husband is the one, but I'm not really satisfied with my earnings and I'm going to do something about that...

I am also from the Philippines. I am on a disabled on wheelchair and my wife is also handicapped. Before we have a small computer shop as a business. Together with my wife and a friend, we managed it but unfortunately did not succeed because of unfair competition in our area. So to cut the story short, we stopped the business and instead put up a mini store. We also have e-loading business but it is not enough to support our needs such as rental, bills, food, etc.
Luckily, we were able to enter into home based job which is research writing through internet. We get paid on word count and quality of writing. Though we are earning from this, still is not enough because of high prices of basic commodities not to mention high cost of electricity. It is really a struggle for us to support our needs.
