I find this man's posts somewhat indecipherable. Turning to the Internet for help did not clear up the situation for me any:

The whole reasoning behind moving back to PP is because my credit for the most part is fair, but I have a auto repo that wont fall off my reports until 2023, which makes financing a vehicle extremely expensive. I have credit cards which I use from time to time to build payment history, but the repo is very negative. I've tried to dispute it over and over again through the credit bureaus, but they keep verifying it. I'd figure I would go to PP get a cheap moto, get a teaching job for a few years and go back.
There's a part of me that wants to correct the failed attempt in 2016.

Mate--you need to finish your shift at the restaurant, go back to your ratchet apartment, fire up YT and watch Dr. Jordan B. Peterson videos for a few hours or days (or weeks). Take responsibility for your situation, put your head down, work hard, and reevaluate after a few months when you (hopefully) have some small savings. Cambodia is no panacea for people in your situation, as your already know!

I have a liberal arts degree in English. It focuses on literature gen eras. Would that help me? Wat about those getting the eBay Fake Degrees? Cambodia is so behind times that they could are less unlike Thailand. Not sure about Vitenam and fake degrees. Vietnam visa policy is absurd. You need an approval letter to get a Visa.

Thanks for the advice. I have been thoroughly planning out my finances. I have 2k in savings right now plus credit cards for emergencies in the event I need SkyScanner flight to JFK or Cheapo Air. I will Absolutely never fly a Chinese Airline!!!!! I had a China Eastern flight booked to go to Shanghai, but the attendant said I needed a Chinese transit Visa to board. It was a shit show. I called my friend who filed charge back through AMEX. I left via Qatar Airlines. The food and staff were truly exceptional. I would have loved a visa stamp to see Qatar for a day or two. China Airlines which is Taiwanese is awesome along with EVA Air which is also Taiwanese. China Sucks can't wait for their economy to collapse. Xi Jingpin, Hu Jintao, Bo Xilai, Zhou Yangkan, and Jiang Zemin are the worst of the worst Hun Sen has nothing on these henchmenPecahead wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 7:52 amMate--you need to finish your shift at the restaurant, go back to your ratchet apartment, fire up YT and watch Dr. Jordan B.

dont knock waiting tables, one of my best friends has been working restaurants in Napa valley for 20 years now, 4 nights/week and 3 months off/year(after 10 in Aspen) he's 69 and making over $60 grand /year +++Dallow Spicer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:47 amsimon44 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:39 pmWhy scrape around for some shitty-paid teaching job in PP.

I earn typically $2,500-$3,000 tax-free teaching online (mostly Science lessons to kids in 6 different countries, (er not all at the same time, although that's technically quite feasible).
BTW, in case esteemed members are thinking 'pot calling the kettle black', when I talk about your best earning years - in my 30's and early 40's I worked as a designer of satellite and space hardware systems and antennas
Quite how I ended up at 60 years old teaching Chinese and Russian kids from the middle of nowhere is another story...
Blame it on ex-wife #1!
No, more likely was ex-wife #2......
Er hang on a moment, ex-wife #3 didn't really help matters either!
“Best earning years”?
He’s a grown man in his thirties and he earns a living as a waiter.
I doubt he is too worried about losing his best earning years.
has paid for 2 condos in Miami and a nice house in Napa

Serving can make you crazy money especially if you’re a banquet server or in fine dining. People need to stop labeling it as a loser job. Servers need to know the profiles of each wine on the wine list, know ingredients to omit if there’s an allergy. You also need to have a personality that’s indicative of a self starter. You’ll be dealing with people every shift that could be great. There’s also the few that come in sad and just want someone to talk to. Oh and of course ratchet types that try to get over on the restaurant.over the rainbow wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:17 pmdont knock waiting tables, one of my best friends has been working restaurants in Napa valley for 20 years now, 4 nights/week and 3 months off/year(after 10 in Aspen) he's 69 and making over $60 grand /year +++Dallow Spicer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:47 amsimon44 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:39 pmWhy scrape around for some shitty-paid teaching job in PP.

When was that? I think it has changed now. I transited through Shanghai in June. I have a 10-year China visa but my wife and kids don't and they were stamped through. Not that that changes things for you as far as flying Chinese airlines...
If that is how you are putting it then I think you should absolutely do it.
