I have a friend who was getting combined disability and pension for around $5000 per month. He told me he was always broke. I asked him how. He told me that on the day his monthly pension gets deposited, he would have line of people line up at his house to get their cut. Whether you get $1000 or $10,000, unless you learn to say no, you will be broke in Philippines.

Thanks for the run down on larger budgets and what it buys in PI. I don’t think I’ve seen that on another Vlog. Yes, would love to see the house. In the US, in a high cost area, $7K after taxes is maybe just enough to get by. There are lots of retirees in their 60’s and 70’s with a pension, social security and 401k draws that are pulling in $7k plus. PI would be a good alternative to just getting by. The big question is health care - not just cost but availability and quality. Medicare doesn’t cover foreign medical expenses.

@@PaulWorldZoom - Just to be clear I am not trying to denigrate anyone's lifestyle or happiness point. I just want people to understand they aren't going to live an average first world middle class lifestyle in a developing country on less than $4000. If you look up the average U.S. home size it's 2480 square feet. Average number of cars is 1.88 basically 2 cars. Just paying for the two average cars at 50,000 each and keeping them for the average 8 years equals over $1000 a month not including interest, insurance, gas, tires, minor repairs etc. The rent in a middle sized PH city for a 2480 square foot, 4 bedroom house, 2 car garage, full AC with a half acre lot is going to run at least $2000 a month. At this point you are already at $3000 and have food, medical, utilities, entertainment, and emergency savings left. Many people who move to a developing country do so because they want to live better than they can in their own country. This means a maid, gardener, driver etc. (more expenses) I can personally live off of around $500 a month in Mexico. However this would only be possible because I own a home, and I would be living a developing country standard of living. I worked and saved so I don't have to do this unfortunately Mexico has become dangerous for those who choose to live an upper class lifestyle. I have to find another retirement location and have scouted Cebu; it is roughly 25% cheaper than the U.S. for a similar lifestyle.

I think you meant to say his health coverage amount is per year, not month. Philhealth only has fixed prices and I have the same 2 he has..... that is the rate per year..... and to be honest, it's not health care coverage as westerners see it, but rather, health care discount... and not much at that but better than nothing.....but barely. Also, I don't know anyone who brings in the cash he does and still gets an auto loan in the Philippines..... the interest rates suck bad and they don't allow early pay off unless you are willing to pay the interest that would have been owed for the original life of the loan......aka no consumer protection laws here lol. Still, good vlog, keep them coming. I personally find it hard to spend over 4500 per month on a regular basis. Also, the 10k pocket money for the lady sounds about right.

Sucker born every day. I've live philippines 15yrs 1st wife died so forced to sell my house. Get a fresh start away from late wife family plus unable to own property as a american citizen. I currently live great secure subdivision rent 35k living a great life with new wife go out whenever we want have fun . My pension and social about 4k .total expenses about 2k a month. That's with giving her parents a little money only $200 the other children give as well. Granted inflation here prices are up. But so far only spend $2000 living a good life. He needs to go over a budget sure there's houses in this subdivision close to 200k pesos big houses maybe he has whole family living with him. But he needs to check his money see if she's sending money to another person ( real boyfriend or husband) don't laugh it happens here. He's a real sugar daddy for that family. Very sad

Thanks for the run down on larger budgets and what it buys in PI. I don’t think I’ve seen that on another Vlog. Yes, would love to see the house. In the US, in a high cost area, $7K after taxes is maybe just enough to get by. There are lots of retirees in their 60’s and 70’s with a pension, social security and 401k draws that are pulling in $7k plus. PI would be a good alternative to just getting by. The big question is health care - not just cost but availability and quality. Medicare doesn’t cover foreign medical expenses.

@@PaulWorldZoom - Just to be clear I am not trying to denigrate anyone's lifestyle or happiness point. I just want people to understand they aren't going to live an average first world middle class lifestyle in a developing country on less than $4000. If you look up the average U.S. home size it's 2480 square feet. Average number of cars is 1.88 basically 2 cars. Just paying for the two average cars at 50,000 each and keeping them for the average 8 years equals over $1000 a month not including interest, insurance, gas, tires, minor repairs etc. The rent in a middle sized PH city for a 2480 square foot, 4 bedroom house, 2 car garage, full AC with a half acre lot is going to run at least $2000 a month. At this point you are already at $3000 and have food, medical, utilities, entertainment, and emergency savings left. Many people who move to a developing country do so because they want to live better than they can in their own country. This means a maid, gardener, driver etc. (more expenses) I can personally live off of around $500 a month in Mexico. However this would only be possible because I own a home, and I would be living a developing country standard of living. I worked and saved so I don't have to do this unfortunately Mexico has become dangerous for those who choose to live an upper class lifestyle. I have to find another retirement location and have scouted Cebu; it is roughly 25% cheaper than the U.S. for a similar lifestyle.

new subscriber. i am not poor and not rich.. but i haven't had a car payment in gosh, 30 years? if i can't pay for it outright i do not buy it. actually had to persuade my wife to let me buy a used volvo. gave my originally bought new Ford 150 to her daughter. yes, hard to believe a guy is afraid of his ex. My wife's ex comes over for Christmas dinner. We (he and I) go out for hikes. No point in fighting imo.

I think you meant to say his health coverage amount is per year, not month. Philhealth only has fixed prices and I have the same 2 he has..... that is the rate per year..... and to be honest, it's not health care coverage as westerners see it, but rather, health care discount... and not much at that but better than nothing.....but barely. Also, I don't know anyone who brings in the cash he does and still gets an auto loan in the Philippines..... the interest rates suck bad and they don't allow early pay off unless you are willing to pay the interest that would have been owed for the original life of the loan......aka no consumer protection laws here lol. Still, good vlog, keep them coming. I personally find it hard to spend over 4500 per month on a regular basis. Also, the 10k pocket money for the lady sounds about right. My wife and I both do the same. No questions asked.....we both get 10k php per month to do what we want.

I think the Dude is drawing from a monthly income from social security, pension, dividend portfolio or rental. He's probably keeping his cash savings or stock portfolio intact and letting his monthly income stream take care of his expenses where his monthly car payment is factored in. I will be doing the same thing with same budget when I retire and not touch my dividend portfolio and emergency funds
Who can afford that? $6000 WFT?

Sucker born every day. I've live philippines 15yrs 1st wife died so forced to sell my house. Get a fresh start away from late wife family plus unable to own property as a american citizen. I currently live great secure subdivision rent 35k living a great life with new wife go out whenever we want have fun . My pension and social about 4k .total expenses about 2k a month. That's with giving her parents a little money only $200 the other children give as well. Granted inflation here prices are up. But so far only spend $2000 living a good life. He needs to go over a budget sure there's houses in this subdivision close to 200k pesos big houses maybe he has whole family living with him. But he needs to check his money see if she's sending money to another person ( real boyfriend or husband) don't laugh it happens here. He's a real sugar daddy for that family. Very sad
