What Dominicans live on is irrelevant to you. You don't want to live like a Dominican and you couldn't do it even if you tried.
I don't have a pool, but most guys would want one. I suggest you look to pay no more than US$500, tops, for a place with use of a pool.
A/C is expensive and not an essential. There are maybe about three weeks each year when I wish I had it, but otherwise fans are sufficient. You will soon get acclimatized.
Keeping a regular girlfriend on the cheap is easy. Keeping a regular girlfriend on the cheap and fucking around with other chicas is a lot more difficult. Good luck with that.
Excellent post, once again Sir Weyland has hammered the nail home. He is an expert at hammering nails by the way lol
I think he has hit all the essentials, I actually have a bit more to survive on in my budget per month, but because as he says, I like to drink, fuck different chicas, gamble and party as hard as I want, I struggle on a budget almost twice as much, it depends on you and what your style is.
Why should I limit myself to only one woman when I can have as many women as I want?
