For my current job, My wife and I have had to make sacrifices. After leaving my academic post due to lack of scholarship, I have moved to different states, now being in Penang, Malaysia.

Salary is ok, not bad. But that also mean my wife has to make the hard decision to resign from her work, making us a single income family.

She tried freelancing. But Freelancing as a lawyer in Penang is tough.

Worse is, I am only employed on an annual contract basis. Yeah, job security is pretty thin.
