If you would migrate, where would you take your family?

Sadly, this is a reality most of our countrymen are facing today. Even if both spouses are working, most of the time their salaries are not enough to make ends meet. Not even to live a little comfortably. I hope that you can start your business, because if you do and it becomes a success, then you don't really have to go elsewhere. It's not just about the money or cost of living, but the quality of education and the lifestyle itself. Imagine most kids have to wake up at 4AM just to get ready for school because their school bus has to get them to school by 7AM and at 6AM traffic is already horrendous. Also for the working public. You have to spend half of your day either falling in line or in traffic, and that is not healthy. If I were to leave, then it would be the US. For the simple reason that most of my family live there. But I am still holding on, and refusing to leave.

That is a big step you are taking! I can't help you there but what I know is that it has to be a country with a good health care! I was raised in Germany and had six surgerys over there including cancer treatment and didn't had to pay a cent. 2007 I moved to Florida and only two month later I had a six thousand dollar bill in my mail for staying one night in the hospital and no insurance . So please look out for that

I am an American, and I see a lot of people coming here from around the world. My boyfriend and I have given thought to moving elsewhere, though. He had lived in South America for a few years while he was married to a woman there. We have given thought to relocating to Canada, Europe (UK or Ireland, most likely) or Australia. My preference would be the UK or Ireland for a variety of reasons--including the fact that my native tongue, English, predominates.

I have no thinking to have my family migrate in other country. We love it here though it is hard sometimes. Our business is here, our friends are here. But, if we can migrate, let me think. It would be in London. I like it there. I like old buildings and place.

I don't know whether it would be a better life or not. You have to consider that you will be leaving your family and all that is familiar to you behind and you will have a lot of new experiences. Some of them may be good and some may not. I think if you do go to a different country you might consider going where you know someone that has gone before you. That was you would have help learning the new customs and have someone help you settle into the new country. Perhaps you could contact two or three people that have gone to one of the countries you are interested in and ask them to find out if there is room for you to start your business in that country. Good luck with your dreams....may they come true for you!

You must realize that your children will adjust to the new country, if your move to America, they will become Americanized, if you move to Australia, they will become like Australians. Your children will no longer be living in a Filipino culture. If you want your children to stay in a Filipino culture, then move to a country with a large and strong Filipino community. If you plan to move to an English speaking country, learn English because it will really help you in your business. Sometimes, it is best if you know someone who has already migrated and then, at least, you have someone who can help you, once you move to a new country.

A lot of my friends are now citizens of a different country... and they are asking me if i want to follow suit... but honestly... i like it here in the Philippines... and if given a chance... i only want to visit other countries rather than settle there for good... the Philippines would always be my home...

I have thought this kind of question before.For sure i love my mother country,but i'm quite unsatisfied with government and social health care,financial problem and so on. another way of saying is i'm kind of disappointed with this place. There are tons of factor should be considered in migration.Like language,culture shock,new country's migration policy,health care,job,living etc. in my case,i would take canada as my first option. i suppose i can get the better qualtiy of life,make friends easily,settle in smoothly in this diverse culture.

i really like the idea of an island with nice beach and easy made business with tourists and native, you could be very comfortable in such environment.

well i don't have any plans of migrating to any other country . If i get any job opportunities in other countries then i can work but wont settle in any other country. As you know mother country is always the best.

Well I have been there.. my father migrated me to the usa when I was just 16. My dad started a car shop there, and sent all his money back to mexico to my mom and brother. My dad is still in usa.. he will retire next month there, and return back to his birth place. My dad did well for our family migrating to the usa.
