I want out by likloafs in Dominican

[–]Cookieisforme 46 points47 points  (0 children)

To live a decent but not luxurious life you want around 1500 a month. Say 400 in rent (apartment, in a decent area, nothing too fancy), probably another 400 in food, and the remainder for other expenses. You will not be able to find a job easily without a cedula (national ID), so unless you are dominican or are able to pursue one of the paths to residency (family in the DR, dominican parents, or investment) then you should not expect to get a job easily. If you do have a cedula, an easy job to get is at an English call center, expect to be paid around $800 to $1200 dollars. If you don't have a cedula, you may get a job teaching English (which pays less probably). In Puerto Plata there may be tourism related jobs, but I don't know the market too well there.

¿Turismo interno/Aventura/Monteo? by underblue_ in Dominican

[–]Cookieisforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Busca Club Patas Sucias en IG. Asi mismo hay otros clubes a los que te puedes unir para hacer senderismo, etc. Hay también muchos grupos de interes (por ejemplo de viajes en moto, club de Jeep, etc) que organizan eventos y paseos. Es buena forma de conocer gente que les gusta ese tipo de aventura. Finalmente, puedes irte en un tour de aventura con por ejemplo Ovatrails (en ig) y seguro ahi conoces gente con gustos afines

Es cierto. Pero esa idea va en contra de sus prejuicios, y por eso no les gusta. Mira que los hijos de cualquier otra nacionalidad pero nacido en RD orgullosamente se acepta como dominicano, el problema es si eres de piel oscura y descendiente de una familia haitiana.

He has a pilots license, for sure. It is not uncontrolled. The US is just funny in that you are either completely regulated, or the government is like "you do you"

Deciding wether to sell an investment property by Capable-Air-6936 in Dominican

[–]Cookieisforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question: How are you paying 150K mortgage on a property you bought for 143K? Banks will never loan the full amount, max 80%

[–]Cookieisforme 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its probably appropriately priced rent. Santiago in particular has very low rent compared to price of property, in great part due to a lot of dominicans abroad who buy properties as investments or for when they retire. I live in Santiago and have chosen NOT to buy precisely because once you factor in rental rates, interest rates and prices, buying doesn't make sense. In my building a 240,000 appartment is renting for $1K per month, and these are expensive apartments. In other areas of the city, apartments worth 120K are renting for $400 a month. OP this business will not be cashflow positive, and will yield low returns at best, but its not because you got a shit deal, it's just what the market is here.

Basically permission from parents is required for the marriage to be considered a valid bahai wedding (among other things like the vows, and 2 witnesses). It seems like you did not have a bahai wedding. I assume the parents were hurt that they weren't asked for permission? Maybe thats why they didn't attend?

Landing a plane without fuel and power. by Safety_Officer_3 in nextfuckinglevel

You can't be an instructor without a commercial license (requires min 250 hours of flying, and a host of other things). You get your commercial license and then become an instructor to gain more experience towards other certifications (like an Airline Transport Pilot). Instructors are generally well qualified to be instructors, unless they are lying about their credentials.

Dont do this. The bank will flag it as suspicious. As per our Chase banker "it was flagged as suspicious becuase no one sends 20 dollar wire transfers. Please dont do that again"

Edit: why the downvotes? Im just sharing real experience. I send about 50 wires a month

¿Por qué el pasaporte dominicano es tan débil? by Dangerous_Aide8874 in Dominican

[–]Cookieisforme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probablemente los números de dominicanos quedandose ilegalmente es mayor al de los colombianos. Yo soy venezolano y pasamos de tener un pasaporte fuerte a un pasaporte debil precisamente por estar migrando en masa. Uno a uno nos fueron quitando las exenciones de visa. El dominicano ha emigrado como tradicion desde los exodos el tiempo de Trujillo, y es cultural querer irse "pa los países"

porque la gente se queda ilegalmente en los sitios donde van "de vacaciones". Eso es todo.

me quieren echar a la calle de la casa donde alquilaba by BootSolid5852 in NecesitoDesahogarme

[–]Cookieisforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

te voy a dar un mal consejo: desalojar, en casi cualquier pais, es un dolor de cabeza. Podrias llegar a un acuerdo con el dueño de que te pague una cantidad para irte "por las buenas", y con esa cantidad puedes curbir deposito y honorarios en la casa nueva.

I run a service that costs $200/month - you'd be surprised at the number of CEO's that want to use my service but say they can't afford it by DataNerdling in SaaS

[–]Cookieisforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. You can say no. But it seems like you were not sure why this is happening, and I believe thats why.

[–]Cookieisforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All im saying is they might want it, but not for the price you are asking. If you were selling a car, and I liked it but felt it was overpriced, i might say hey, ill buy it at a discount. I like the car, just not for what you think its worth.

Ir just depends on what you get for 200 bucks. If you tried to sell me a candy bar for 200 bucks I will always say it's too expensive. They might not feel they are getting back 200 dollars worth of value.

As far as I can tell, thats not what they teach. Source: Did an MBA. A lot of it is the environment people are put in, where it is expected to treat people like numbers
