American Economy is slowing down and Philippine Economy is on the rise. If you are smart, invest in the Philippines because everything is still cheap. With its economy moving forward, you'll never know what you'll get when it reach its higher plane. Just be selective and do what you think is best.

For starter, it's always a good thing to know each other. There is no divorce in the Philippines unlike in the States. Therefore, if you get married in the Philippines, you're married for life. You may opt to marry at the American Embassy so American family law will take effect.

You're 24 and you're still young. I am pretty sure your girl friend wants to know you more before making any commitment. It's kinda difficult to have a distance relationship.

Good luck to whatever you decide to do.

Mabuhay!

Since she's not into moving to the States then go for option b.

keep working..save some money....make decision later when you've had time to sort things out.

did she tell the reason why she doesn't want to live in the US? if you're ok with living here in the phils. then go for it.. u can also be successful in business thru hard work and perseverance.. good luck!

You are spinning your wheels.
Concentrate on your career otherwise success will elude you.

Sounds tough to decide. if you will have enough to start a business, and if you are eligible to live in the philippines, or do business there then sounds good to live there and work together, better than toiling away here in the states. otherwise the immigration process here is long and troublesome, if i come into some money i would try to live in the phils, with my fiancee(soon to be wife as soon as she gets visa to the states) good luck.

I can only tell you from what worked for ... go with option B . .. but if you have not lived in that country expect a little shock and homesickness . Good luck!!

I think Snowsnake had the correct answer . I would try to save money before deciding to do either . However you may want her to at least get a passport if you decide to bring her here . What province is she from ?

dandan

Yeah i think going for option B is a good option. If your girlfriend lives here in the Phils then it's hard to live another half or more of your life in some foreign countries. It is better to settle down with your family in a place you're already familiar.

Adjusting is a tough thing to do. And for me, there's no place like Philippines to be my home! If I'm going to be married someday, I'll prefer Phils. than any other countries.

But still it depends on your choice. Good Luck!

I say keep working, save your money, find out how much a plane ticket cost to fly her in. Then have her start work with you so both of you can have more money and then maybe she could stay in the states with you. Good Luck

trykindness

Both options are very well thought of but I feel this issue is for both of you to talk about. This is your future, if you love her and she loves you this issue about the future should be decided in mututal respect to each other, it is a teamwork.

Long term, go with option b even if you get a different girlfriend. The Philippines is a much better place to live - stuff the USA and all of the superficial consumerism crap there. I was born and raised there - the best thing I ever did was leave the god forsaken place!

The people in the Philippines are much more genuine, and as someone stated the economy in the Philippines is going up and in the USA its going down. The peso has appreciated about 13% over the past 2 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if it continued on this trend for the next few years.

You can find a much better in america.good luck

My answer is something between a and b.
I think it is tough to save enough money to invest or run a business while you are visiting once or twice a year. Your one trip to Philippines will cost your savings. Bring her to US and if you two work hard here, I think you can save substantial amount much quicker than you yourself alone. Then go back to home, start a business, take care of your and your girlfriend's family, and lead a happy life together.

my cousin has the same situation. but he's married with one boy. he's working and visiting her every two years about. he's planning on bringing her and their boy here by 2008. we live in seattle.

I'd do a. That is what I did and it has worked out very nice.

lovesicklust

How old are you? Are you CERTAIN that you want to be tied to something that is so far away? I mean, people lose a lot of their lifes this way. Also, it could be great now that you rarely see her but could be hard to deal with it when shes around all the time.

Have you even met her yet?

jdoug_sellers

I'd bet she goes for a. only...don't be fooled...she wants to be in america
