It's my first time commenting, I've watched you videos for a while. One of my favorites. As an American it's the path I follow. I've found a filipina that can be special to me. I'm 54 she's much younger and I really didn't look for this young but she shined. I am planning and almost to the point I'll be able to work remotely in a digital marketing job. I don't think I'll ever retire completely. But I love your content because very similar to me. I look online for her . Anyway keep up the great content.

Men seem to always pay in relationships. I dated a "pobre" in Ecuador and found that even though I was on a budget and paid her housing and food, her extra "asks" soon grew from 10's to 100's to 1000's even though I was saying no all along. She was curious how much she could get. It's sad that most relationships are cut from this cloth.

Thomas it is a subdivision in uptown. No rentals for short term or monthly visits in my neighborhood.

As always - great contribution. Packed with info for potential immigrants to the Philippines. One of the smartest decisions you listed when discussing your Budget is to control your spending to not drive a scooter. How you are organized now - you could run your expenses down quickly if needed. A motor accident however could put all that into jeopordy pretty fast. As a foreigner - you would find it difficult to get a fair judgment if you should hurt somebody. Or - the other way around - you could hurt yourself to the point you need long term medical care that might not be available at your level of expectations. The word "play" comes up a lot in your discussion - yes you two - play but play it safe. Life is too good to risk anything.

IMO $125 a month is extremely expensive for a scooter, I don't think a lot of long term expats are doing that. A Click cost like 80k, you have paid for the thing in 12 months. That's newbee/tourist pricing. Buying my 11 month old Click and using and selling after owning it for 18 months cost me $15 a month in Thailand excluding gas (includes transfer fees, depreciation, oil changes, etc). I totally understand the safety concerns but it's dirt cheap transport if your willing to take the risk. Good video, thanks

140,000 Php a month? No way I'm swinging that without depleting my emergency cash.(In other words, not going to happen.) But, I don't golf never liked it, I'm not interested in living like I'm on vacation. After discussing at length, indeed there are places my girl and I want to visit and we will. But we are content spending quality time together. One of my hobbies is cooking and she's a chef, so outings for us will be as simple and practical as heading into town for the markets. We will be living in the Provence so trips to town will be an overnight excursion. Also giving us a chance to catch a movie maybe sample some local cuisine, Karaoke Ect. What separates my girl from any other I've encountered is, she absolutely does not like spending money frivolously and does not seek a lavish life. I will do nothing to alter that sentiment, spending can derail the best laid out plans and becomes a hard habit almost impossible to break.

Even if it were ( only ) $400 - $500 / mo. ? > Many expats only get $1200 - $1800 / mo. -- That 'extra' makes a huge difference ! 🤔

Thanks for watching Frank

The biggest cost to a foreigner is the price of airfare to the Philippines and back home again if the date expects to much find another pretty Filipino! To have fun with however avoid bar girls other pay a higher cost !

Thanks for watching Ed and taking the time to comment

Another fantastic video!!! Thanks for the information. I'm a social person like you, Rob. I have always been a member of a country club. I like the social opportunities that clubs offer. My lifestyle is more like your current lifestyle. Let's face it, where you live dictates your lifestyle. I have always had homes in the upper tier of the market. I currently live in a 4000+ sq ft home, one floor, with all the amenities, in a gated golf course community. Your current home is more to my liking. Can homes like yours be found? You told us what you pay for rent, but I didn't take the time to total up everything that you mentioned in the video. What do you think a person would need to fund your new blossoming lifestyle if you owned your own transportation?

It’s not as hard as some might think I’m only paying US$900 per month in rent. The location just happens to be exceptionally nice and I found it by pure luck but there’s lots of properties open in the mountains that can be spectacular.

HaHa . . she hit the Motherlode 😂

As long as your both happy…you’ve mentioned that your partner is religious. Are you ? Personally I love Filipina have their religious convictions.

If you want to have a good time, do things and travel in the Philippines, it's going to cost. Expats on extreme low budgets can not really enjoy themselves with their partner. Staying at home and walking are their only choices.

Very informative video, thank you. I wanted to ask, from a man's perspective... Are Filipina women becoming materialistic just like Western Women, and especially women in the United States ? Seems like thanks to the Internet, the traditional Filipina woman is going away. The beautiful lady has a beautiful voice.... She should consider a singing career

I like how you think David

You forgot to mention CHEMISTRY. If a woman has this for you then dates at Starbucks and the park are all that is required. Throwing money at a woman is never a good idea. it will always come back to bite you. I will never understand a man who purchases more than one engagement ring in a lifetime. Learn your lesson the first time around. At the end of the day you need to understand that you are in a very poor country which makes you the prize and the woman is lucky to be with you. Sorry but you have spoiled your woman and there is nothing good about this. The Pandora's box has been opened.

@@Eric-qm5xw yes it takes money to enjoy life. The myth about being poor and happy is just that, a myth. In a poor country there is no need to spend a lot of cash especially on a woman. She will become a monster of your own making . Treat her well but keep her humble if you want peace in your household.

Sorry, but hitting a ball with a stick, throwing it through a hoop, or running with it doesn't hold my interest. These are things ANYBODY can do. I need something that requires special skills. I come to the Phils for 2 1/2 mo to escape a New England winter. After 4 trips I've found the right girl to bring back to the USA. I'll guess I've got $64K invested. LTRs are difficult to maintain. We have survived and a new chapter is about to begin. Although we have a GREAT difference between our ages, there are no kids involved. She looks forward to becoming an American, and I look forward to becoming her teacher. The Phils was the answer for me!
