How much do you have to claim before you get taxed? Last year I collected just shy of 2k and while taxes weren't taken out, I wasn't taxed MORE as a result. |
i dunno, but less than $2k isn't that much. i'm talking about like long term unemployment |

i got fired right out of the blue yesterday. i'm still in shock. my boss loved me but it's too much of a job for me (i was always swamped and a little behind) and he is bringing in his sister-in-law to work for him and she has a lot more experience than me. so yea...i'm unemployed lol but i feel ok about it. the bf and i are thinking of moving to dominican republic for a while to help his dad run the 2 bars he just opened up. i'm applying for my passport renewal tomorrow:gsmile:
we were just toying w/ the idea of moving to DR recently but my common sense (and his) stepped in and said that it's probably not a good idea to walk away from a steady job w/ the economy right now, but now that i'm fired we're like, "hmmm" lol |

| That blows Jammerz. I may move out of the country in a short few years for a business opportunity also. A friend is voluntarily leaving the US (so he doesn't have to deal with deportation bull) in June, and wants to start a business. I would be integral in this . So yeah, in a year or so I may just up and leave. |

yea it was really sounding good when his dad called a few weeks ago like, 'you guys gotta come here! it's paradise you won't need any money hardly bla bla bla'... but i just couldn't walk away from that job. i almost feel really liberated and free right now though. i've got some money in the bank so im fine with bills for a while and we can always just go to DR and live like kings. it wouldn't be a for ever thing, but certainly for a while.
what country would you up and leave to? |

Just go. Seriously.
And my friend is from Montenegro, so he is going back there. All his family is there. So it would be pretty easy for me to get started with him and his business that he wants. |

Wow, that sucks. I'd like to welcome you unofficially to the unemployed club.
DR sounds fun but obviously it has no future but you should do it for a couple of weeks as a vacation. Btw, you should rent that cheesy 80's flick with Tom Cruise as a bartender, can't remember its name.
The problem with DR, like all countries in the Caribbean, there's a small wealthy resort section and the rest of the country is 3rd world, dirt poor, and dangerous for anyone who's not a native. |
