      Super presentation..Honest and straight forward... Always had hoped to visit or retire in the Philippines, especially in Social Security...
      But, how's your health ? I have friends in several parts of the PI..Some financially successful, some not..ALL warn me about high health costs AND lack of emergency help or ambulance service...😮
      I got Congestive Heart Failure and Prostate Cancer ! At 73, maybe my retirement dreams might be the musings of an old duffer !😅😅

      If that price is true, that makes the Philippines a great destination when it comes to accommodation but why are there too many foreigners saying it's expensive in the Philippines? Or is that US $90 suite a rundown kind of room? What is the average monthly rent for a fine-condition condo or suite in the Philippines?

    Good to see someone presenting an alternative to the many other alternatives usually presented.
    If I should leave the US I don't want to go somewhere else and replicate the life I already live in the US. I'd actually want to change (reduce) my standard of living to something more manageable, and in every respect, not just financially.
    I think you have the opportunity to really capture the interests of a niche market of potential expats coming from the west. Not everybody has the interest/ability to go overseas and build half-million dollar homes, and some people simply don't want to. Some are truly chasing the simpler life.
    Good luck to your channel and I will definitely be following.

      $2000 is a healthy budget in the Philippines. $500-600 a month will get you a furnished luxury apartment in Nuvali or other expat areas. Words of advice: Sky is the limit on price though, you can find apartments or houses that exceed your budget, don't act like you are king and don't tell the bar girl how much money you have. What area of the Philippines are you looking at? Just remember the initial start up costs....Your first six months will be your most expensive. After that roll it back.

    My modern one bedroom townhome apartment south of Manila is $70 USD per month. I’ve lived here for six years in 4 different places and have never paid over $100 a month rent. At one place, I only paid $40 a month including utilities.
    As a single guy, my cost of living averages around $250 a month. And that is a comfortable lifestyle, not luxurious, which is not my cup of tea, but I enjoy everything my heart desires.
    It’s great you made this video because I see some really stupid ones out there claiming that the cost of living here is a lot higher than it actually is. Without coming here and experiencing this first hand, I would have never known things were so affordable, because of all of the misinformation online.

    Very nice place for the two of you. Looks quite comfortable to me. But as a retired old man alone - I wouldn't want all that to have to take care of ! A small studio perhaps 1/2 that size @ most ? > $90 USD is a terrific price. - - - I've really been - 'wondering' - just ''how'' I might live over there on my $1525 USD SS check each month ? Sure appears like for my frugal lifestyle - perhaps 'half' of my income might be all I need (?) - '''most months''' ? ( $762.50 ) -- After -- all set up and established - maybe with a scooter too ? 🤔 Many apparently spoiled expats say you need $2500 minimum (USD) - while others say $1000 alone is enough ? -- Seems to depend on lifestyle -&- location ? -- - -- I really like what you showed me here !!! 🤗❤👍🙏👌

    • @SouthPaths
      @SouthPaths  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Well, we pay $90 US and it's a 2 yr old building with a store 50 ft away. Utilities for Electric, gas for the stove, high speed internet, and cell phone is about $75 to $90 US more. After that it's up to you how you buy your groceries and spend your time. It's the expats favorite places that cost more. You could have a maid visit twice a week for 2 hrs to tidy your place and check on you for about $100 more. It's not expensive unless you want it to be.
