- My Updated Cost Of Living 2024 With Inflation In Cebu Philippines. Prices Are Increasing Throughout The World . The Philippines Is A Great Place To Retire. Everyone Lives Differently And This Is Just My Budget. Your Living Costs May Be Higher Or Lower Depending On Each Individuals Life Style. It's Always Best To Visit And See What Your Costs Will Be Before Making A Move To A New Location. The background video of the beach was mostly filmed in Boracay #philippinetravel #cebucondos #cebutravelguide #ceburestaurants #boracayhotels #cebufoodblog
It sure looks like you’re filming the beach and sandy path along the stores on the island of Boracay. I’ve been there. That is nowhere near Cebu. Very misleading if it is, since your video is about Cebu. 🫤
That was meant as a background to me talking. Would you prefer to me walking through Cebu or sitting in a chair in a living room. I have no intention to be misleading. Thanks for the comment
THAT INTERNET SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm jealous.
I'm really amazed with the internet speed . I have never seen one this fast. Not in the US or any other country. Thanks for the comment
Wow, that's more expensive than i thought, l currently live in a penthouse apartment with a loft and all utilites included for about $600 a month in moscow and I have much faster wifi, excellent public transportation and high quality of life here. can have a nice life style here for $1,000-1,200 a month total, including rent. So I guess the Philipines is just gonna be more expensive but I hope the people and the beaches will make it all worth while.
Wow I thought Moscow was much more expensive. The people and the beaches are fantastic in the Philippines. Do you have Amazon in Moscow? Thanks so much for the comment.
CEBU IS GROWING AND DEVELOPING SOO FAST! CHILLYPOPPIN PLACE TO BE NOW!!
Cebu is really developing at a fast pace. Thanks For The Comment
Still so much cheaper the the US ! --- Your rent alone would eat up most of what you are spending + you need a car at a tremendous expense ? --- No comparison. --- A bit removed outside the big cities will allow just as good a life for less. If you buy a used scooter for $1000 - transportation is cheap and saves you money. Rent is much cheaper as well. My guess is about $1200 or so most months - maybe a little more other months. --?-- 🤔 Just a bit of frugal and thrifty ?
I appreciate the comment. Are you living in the US?. When I compare the two the cost savings is huge. In most of the US you need a car. Gas, Insurance, Food costs are much higher. In California home prices and rents are through the roof. I can only speak for myself. My quality of life is better than when I'm in the US.
@@whereisgregnow5989 I'm near Lexington Ky - cheap here compared to California ! -- Looking seriously at Tagaytay where it's much cooler @ 2000 ft elevation and much cheaper than Manila. Still only an hour or so from their airport. Beautiful views clean air fresh produce and only an hour from a nice beach. --- Going to start there and see how I like it. > Most US expats there already - love it. --- I'm thinking I may buy a 3 wheel tuk tuk for my transportation locally ! -- Use a nice bus w/ac for longer trips. --?--
My electric bill here in Dumaguete is much higher than it was in Fl and I use the ac much less !
Maybe the rates are higher there? or is your place really large?
Hi Greg, what’s the name of the place where you made the video ? Looks really good there.
Hi Stefan, That was at White Sand Beach in Boracay Philippines.
Im living in Thailand with a similar lifestyle, and it my expenses are about $1300usd, including rent .
Thailand is an incredible place. I plan on going there again. Thanks so much for the comment
I spend $3600 a month in Cebu. Places like Bohol, Ormoc, Duma are significantly cheaper. Better food too.
I have to stay in Cebu due to remote work reasons (need reliable 300+mpbs internet access.
Is it easy to get long term stay in philippines my brother?
Perhaps if you enjoy those other areas more than Cebu you should consider Star link for internet. 300+ mbps is not so easy to achieve. If I may ask? How is it possible to spend $3600 per month living in Cebu?
Fairly easy to get extensions on the tourist visa.
My water bill averages $25 in the Midwest. Electric bill averages $100. Medicine: 0. Phone: $55. WiFi: $30. Rent/mortgage: $830. Car payment: $450. Car insurance $125. Fuel: $80. Food maybe $200-$300 a month. So about $2000/month (minus car payment in about 4-5 years once it’s paid for.) So Cebu, Philippines is about the same as the Midwest.
I have lived in California most of my life. Your cost of living is really great. For myself I see a big difference in the quality of life. In California I can't afford to have Lattes at Starbucks in the morning. I can't really afford to go out for a nice dinner several times a week. I can't afford to live the good life unless I continue to work. I probably should check out the Midwest. Do you prefer the Midwest over the Philippines?
The Philippines is more expensive than Spain where I presently live and we are talking about 3rd vs 1st world countries. Free medical in Spain, and so on! California yes, is insane! The only reason expats go to the Philippines is that they can find love!😂 A big price to pay....
I pay €300/month for food, cooking at home healthy meals, wine, beer and €400/month rent and utilities.
Greg is a nice guy!🍻🍻👍👍
Specifically where in the Midwest do you live? roughly 80% of all other places in the US are much higher than the numbers you listed. Any larger metro area is going to be double that or more
I find Starbucks in Philippines the same price coffee as Australia @@whereisgregnow5989
Hi Marian, Great to hear from you. One of these days I hope to make it to Spain
Water and sewer here in Washington State about $300 per bill
Wow, I think California is similar. Once you travel outside the country you really start to see the different costs of living. It's really amazing
Do you mind going over what condo you are staying at in Cebu?
The place that I stayed at the longest was Mactan Newtown. Transportation was easily accessible.
I've never saw a trike that charges 100 per pax on a trike in cebu city. You are getting hosed.
Hi Jason, If you take the trike by yourself it usually runs 100 pesos or so. If you are on a shared trike it only costs about 15 pesos. Thanks so much for the comment
@@whereisgregnow5989 I thought that you were paying for the whole trike. You don't have to do that. If they pick you up along the road just pay the 15. Then if you board on the line for me I just wait for the trike to fill. I let my wife do the price ahead with them. That way if they want to take advantage we can skip past to the next trike. But you are definitely right 100 is for the whole trike. I have done that before when we are in a hurry.
Jason thanks so much for the comment. This is great information. It takes a long time to learn this stuff.
@@jasonhorrocks1336he is paying foreigner prices and doesn't have the balls to inform the trike driver of the actual price.
Also, MINIMUM trike price is 30pesos in Tagbilaran and 25 in Duma. 15 pesos for a trike hasn't existed in a Philippines city since 2010.
@@whereisgregnow5989in the grand scheme of things it's less than $2 which is probably like a minute of travel on a US taxi 😂
Excellent explanation except you forgot to mentioned about your Condo rent!!! We believed that some one is looking and caring of you already this time in there!!! Congrats!!!
I don't have any rent on this unit. Thanks so much for the comment and Thanks for watching
What kind of US phone your using for $25 a month? Thank you!
The Google Service, Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching
Great choice. Google Fi is awesome.
I use magic jack and have great service and I pay 59 per year
@@robertnunn3015 Nice. I've been using the Google Fi Flexible Plan. Costs $25/mth + tax. Will need to take a look at Magic Jack.
What were the cost before inflation how can we compare anything. Totally worthless video just another how much i spend a month. Thought is was about the inflation
Most people are concerned with inflation including myself. As I mentioned in the video the food costs were higher and the local people are feeling it especially. I don't think I need to give you a price on a loaf of bread or the price increase on a roll of toilet paper. I do appreciate your comment and watching my totally worthless video.. ps What was the cost before inflation where you live?
@@whereisgregnow5989 You only talked about the price today. You did not say my electric bill was 20 now its 50 my food used to be 150 now 200. Unless i somehow missed it but i watched the whole video and was waiting for the comparison. Not trying to be a jerk how is anyone one to know what the inflation is.
