lazarus is on a distinguished road
Because, it sounds like they didn't save for a rainy day, nor did they put aside some emergency funds 'incase' a time arise when leaving is the best option. Having a family, and no government aid and no money in Hong Kong is really hard! Even for the designated native. So for a ex-pat, it's gonna be even harder... thank fully i don't fall in this category.

For everything i earn, i save no less than 35%, plus i keep a foreign currency account for 'home clients'. I can happily say, i can survive in HK for over one year without employment should i loose my job.

Wait a minute, I work freelance... how am i gonna loose my job?
