After I found out how easy it is to get my pick of 1000's of young, lovely, smart gals in 3rd world countries, I said to hell with these gold digging, ignorant US broads. So my Filipina divorces me after 5 years (and she gets her US citizenship) so what? There are millions more just like her, and I will probably be ready for a new one by then, anyway! The average annual income in the US is about 38k. In Philli, it's 2k a year. If you have 50k and know how to make a lousy 10% per year, you can live very well in Philli! Why bother to knock yourself out for 40 years, so you can have a US life? You can be retired in 2-3 years if you will just wise up and leave the US taxes behind.
