agree; seems way low for 6, imagine a few of those are kids in school as well>
GFs family of 4 got by on $300 ( before mom passed) but also had free rice, chickens and Pork ( the $400 came from raising chickens, pigs and growing rice)
WE add another $100 for one daughter for school and such
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

hehe. I am that man.If this girl is in the bush she should be talking to the guy who is doing honey and chicken breeding.
Re: Can you start a business with $5k
How is that even possible? 50kg bag of rice, bush meat and a garden? Would love to see a breakdown of this!
Maybe the OP's friend should get his gf to do documentaries on foreigners living below the poverty line, reckon that would sell.

lotus seeds, rice from the family padi, fish from the river or grown on site, veg garden, chickens, ducks, pigs, a few cows.
well watered areas have huge natural production.
every tree is a fruit tree.
fortunate ppl who live in such areas do not need much cash, if they are inclined to work a little at farming.
the hardest places are lands that only have padi

I cannot speak for willyhilly but if I had wanted a comfortable but stultifying bourgeois existence I would never have come here. As it is I have found much of interest, both good and bad, and none of those moments required much if any cash at all. Yeah I could have had a lot more money but it wouldn't have been worth it.

As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Bushmeat for sure ( lorus and pangolin are worth real dollars), timber from the forest and one or two working for the man, hoeing weeds for $150/ month....is done a lot but not easy. Try and save 1k for a newish moto and hope your kids dont get sick.Raybull wrote:How is that even possible? 50kg bag of rice, bush meat and a garden? Would love to see a breakdown of this!

Re: Can you start a business with $5k
her families poor living out in the boonies, not a middle class family in phnom penh, the first part is probably correct though lolRaybull wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 3:52 amOf course not! Gambling, uncles 'n brothers at the Ktv drinking and whoring, crashing their new Dreams and Zoomers-Xs in the local slews, acquiring a taste for imported wine and french oysters, the bloody options are endlesss! Seriously tho, 700$ barely buys you a pot to piss in nowadays! I respect somebody who can raise a family on 700$/mth if need be, and also say the same about the OP's friend if he's got the funds. He's basically a one man family charity, and if he's ok with it then so be it. He did do his DD according to the OP, right? She could of saved 200$ a month and had 5k$ by now to start her own business though. But that's not the game
What about a small combi van near the riverside selling lady drinks, those pay pretty darn well!
