Thinking Long Term
Posted on November 27th, 2007 | by admin |In relation to the post before this, I don’t know what I will do if I lose my current work from home job. I can always apply as a Senior Designer somewhere but I just can’t imagine myself going back to working in a real office. Aside from the fact that the pay might be a little lower, I don’t know if I can ever leave Sandy at home. I need to think about my options though because there are times when I feel that my company is not doing very well. Although the bosses assure me every now and then, it doesn’t hurt to plan the future. I guess I can try working outside the country when Sandy’s a bit older. It’s what The Husband and I are planning to do in two years anyway. But can I do it? As much as I hate the government, crimes and poverty here in the Philippines, I still have the security of our family, the familiar smells and sights, the comfort of knowing where you are. I hate going out of my comfort zone so living in a foreign place just totally scares the sh!+ out of me. We’re not exactly business minded people so that’s just out of the question. We need a plan. If it were just the two of us, then I wouldn’t mind staying. The little girl’s future comes first however, and sad but true, I just don’t see any improvement for our country even ten to twenty years from now.

weirdly enough, I want us to live an expat life (or maybe live in a provincial city here in the country) so we’d be pushed to leave our comfort zones…
thinking long-term too, I want us to be forced to really manage our own household and fend for ourselves and budget money wisely… while we’re still young and easier to bend
Isip ko, i’d rather we jump into the fire willingly than have the rug swept under us without our knowing…

you’re so right delish. about being young and all. I’ve never thought of it that way. I always find myself saying “I’ll do this soon, plan this later” maybe because Sandy is really too young for me to take drastic actions. I’ll give this thing another year
thanks for your insights!

ay tlaga apols, work from home din pala siya no? I didn’t know that. parang 50-50 din talaga ang benefits and disadvantages ng work from home

hi joy! i understand your sentiments. our country seems to be going down the drain because of our selfish politicians. i’m sure you’ll find another job that doesn’t require you to go to office if ever you decide to leave your current job.
