Why do expats end up destitute in Cambodia ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

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

Im a self employed builder, bricklayer by trade,
flew over to Oz from Cambodia to do some work earlier this year, went to Melbourne as i had friends there, i was earning $240 a day in Melbs, never ending supply of work but i wouldnt get out of bed for $30 per hour in the UK, found out Perth pays $400 a day which is better but cost of livings more, i was only there for 9weeks then fucked off back to Cambodia... in England i can earn between $400-$650 per day, id rather go back to England for a few months to work and visit family :thumb:

I regret that I didn't do a trade before going to university, either fitting and turning or motor mechanic.

What you would probably regret more is having spent it all. But if you still had it then you'd either be a 'straight' or a weirdo money freak, you know the kind you find a lot on K440. Just wait, the Lexus mob will get their nutz kicked in fairly soon, then wages might go up, or prices come down. preferably both. $800 pm to live in the 3rd world :dm: LOL
