I have seen expats begging for money in the Philippines. Why can't they teach English or work in a call center? Mr S told me before that expats can work in call centers.

"I was a digital nomad living in Southeast Asia, in places like the Philippines for two years and returned to the US broke. Now, I’m living in a weekly motel extended stay motel almost homeless because rent is so unaffordable. I had to repatriate then reenter the workforce at 50 and repay my credit card debt from living overseas."

If you are stranded in a particular country and are from a first world nation, you should be able to go to your country's consulate and obtain assistance. They will help you with finances in the form of a loan to get back home. They will not help you to live in that particular country.

In many countries if you are a native English speaker you should be able to 'wing it' as an English teacher.

For example Johnny Chen (Johnny FD) works or volunteers as an English teacher in Kyiv

in the mid 2020's, with all the information available on forums, blogs, YT videos and the likes, it takes a particularly thick man to:

• start a relationship with a bar girl, usually a single mom coming from the most destitute of backgrounds, hardened to a million tricks and expedients to survive and extract money
• go all soft towards any Filipina, especially when the reality starts to slap their faces violently, that they are nothing more than walking ATM in exchange for occasional bedroom fun.
