Well all of us who have done any work here are "used to" being paid more than what one makes here......

One wonders, of course, what thoughts you had on this before you left your home country? UK?

You are likely to just get beaten up here on the Board for ..... well.....

did you not give this any thought of this before you got here?

in the full year during which, of course, you were making the sound preparations needed
reading DR1 on a daily basis
putting your money aside
getting a skill set ready
making friends with us

and all that

certainly you are not simply a guest at an AI who has fallen in love with paradise-- because the weather has been awful recently

and, of course. you have read the sankie 101 forum and ......

it's a good thing that you have a return ticket, right?

Or -- say - $200k that you can place in long term CDs so that you can live on the interest.....

the call centers do indeed offer the best salaries here - say RD$16,000 pesos from which you can eek out a living... so that was actually sound advice.
