28 Inspiring OFW's EXIT Plans

Working Abroad has been my ultimate dream since I got my degree and had enough years of experience as a nurse in the Philippines. June 24, 2013 when my journey as an OFW ( Overseas Filipino Worker) began. Courage was just on my mind. I'm pretty sure  I could make most of my OFW years. When I set forth, the reality struck on me, its easier said than done. So true, homesickness exhaust you everyday since 'twas my first time being away.

I wrestled on my 1st half of year, and eventually I endured. Right now I'm on my 3rd year here in the Kingdom. After I finished my first contract, I made realization on settling home. Thinking of Marital aspects at 30 , Im so inclined to have my exit plan and continue my dreams together with my future hubby. Being financially literate and been in an investment community are things I will take advantage.

  Preparing for that year to come, I endow myself with new learnings and skills in my pursuit of becoming working wifey/mom at home (a Blogger and aspiring Entrepreneur). In God's grace, I'm looking forward to have a small family living  in Bungalow Home, with Travel & Tour Business  + Rentals + Paper Asset Investment, living simply  yet abundantly next to my neighborhood.

  I want to impart you inspiring Exit Plans of my fellow OFW's in Smart Pinoy Investors group.

1. Retire Rich, Retire Young A.S.A.P.
Build more passive income... :)
- Carl Ramacula -

2. I think 4 yrs working abroad is enough, in that years you can accumulate enough capital then create passive income, invest wisely.
- Rose Onirec -

3. Retire a very meaningful life.Not just rich but able to fulfill the purpose on why you are on this earth. There must be a purpose. Find out why!
- Rey Domingo -

4. Retire at young age with abundance in life. Share to the needy what I have.
- Jun Ansale Gabing -

5. Have a plan.

And another plan when the original plan failed.

Some things to consider, if you look in Ads they usually look for 28 yo or below (pinakamatanda na 33yo sa nakita ko pero very very seldom).

We cannot just say na "I'll just back to the workforce" ... we are competing with much younger applicants with lower salary. (Of course unless one is so qualified)

I'll do business - yes you can but always have a back up plan. Competition might kill it. And if not how profitable and FOR HOW LONG THE BUSINESS COULD SURVIVE.

In the latest survey I've read, to live decently in the province you need at least 15k ... "budget meal" na yan kumbaga and it will go up if you: rent and school your kids in a private school.

15k x 12 months = Php 180,000

At least you have a 3 years buffer:
180k x 3 = Php 540,000

500k to live "minimally" for 3 years

Aside from that you must have set aside already Educational Fund.

In 2030, tuition fee could reach 600 to max 1M per sem (if the trend of tuition fee increase continues).

But of course it needs a lot of faith and prayers to God... Learn how surrender everything to him and it will be done through him!
