Very similar arrangement for a family of 3 our budget is $1100, but runs about $850/month for the necessities, including AC. However I love a hot shower from time time to time. We eat at home so eat healthy.
Yeah, you can save money wherever you live. It's a matter of deciding what's important to you, and what's not. If you scout around for cheaper deals on everything, this is very helpful too.
Yes, it can get very boring here. You would think there's lots to do BUT climate is hot and humid, not many expat restaurants if any outside of big cities.
depends on your ego and if you can make change, boredom?. pure bs theres so much to do here, like mnt biking, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, traveling, horse back riding, farm tours, hot springs, exploring, if a city dude then Angeles, or Cebu, manila and lots of malls, if you are a princess and cant handle humidity or heat then stay in your country and dont comment! the weak wont make it here. unless your a fat lazy drunk
Not a bad place, but they have crammed too many rooms/bathrooms into it. Maybe works if you have a maid and two kids but otherwise it looks cramped/uncomfortable because of the tiny rooms. Downstairs should be one big open area and have an aircon...you shouldn't need a towel in your hand to wipe the sweat from your face while sitting in your living room. Find a better place if possible.
I need to wake up and have a cup of tea before i watch this . Living in Toronto I know I'm going to be pissed off . You have to be a millionaire here . Lol 😂
I like it.... I would like an opportunity to contact the owners. I'm still in America, but I am definitely coming there. An affordable all inclusive deal sounds like a great place to start.... How bout it?
Great content, thank you! Sub also following you on TH-cam. 5 years of watching TH-cam dreaming about moving to the Philippines. I still can't get used to them calling it a motorbike, when it's a scooter, Don't let your friends see you riding it Don't let your friends see you riding it hahaha
wow. your story and blogs seems to be same path i will take. duma so maybe i can make friends. ( atlanta ga. ) valencia because maybe not as hot and i damn sure dont need another wife or baby . and im already a part time weekend biker . my s.s is only $1575 so im hoping i can travel around on a bike and explore and not get hooked by some beautiful pina that will drain any extra and just live cheap like you
Getting hook is probably a lot of fun though? suggestion: if you have a 15k savings ... learn to trade "safe options" and make about $500 extra a month My SS is $1600 after paying Medicare.
I do not understand why you would not get Healthcare . That's crazy. I have never traveled without it . Anything could happen . Also you smoke . That is a killer . We all know it . Well , that's up to you. As far as I am concerned I'd pick Thailand over there 100% . Ok . It is more money but so much cleaner . Better food . Better places to live . More to do . No damn boats everywhere you need to go . Better women ? 😂
wow, im in valencia and in a 2 bedroom house, 16,000 peso, hydro per month is 700 peso, i dont use a/c. food per week and i cook all my meals is 1000peso, no booze no smokes. bike is paid, no health care, gas is 250p every 2 weeks gas, propane is 1300 peso every 3 months, 1800 for visa. =22,500peso = 536$ cad per month. free internet and wifi, cell phone i dont use. i eat very good, go to dumaguete twice a week, and my trips out of valencia are not included as they are random, say 5000peso per month if i go further than dauin, dumaguete or in the area day trips, free water and drinkinag water, i walk alot, eat healthy, work out, no woman, and i see the area and explore alot, but dont pay for tourist traps, i find hidden local spots where you dont pay for the river, hiking etc. im also young
It just seems crazy that there are places where the cost of living is so much less than the USA. I'm worried that I will move there and not be able to live on $1,500 USD per month. Am I worrying too much?
ah you should come to canada its only starts at 6k per month to about 10k per month for house to rent lol never mind about the food that will cost you about 600 per month lol your living like king over there , in canada housing crisis is unreal , power here cost 204 per month , car insurance 475 for new drivers , so i know your paying peanuts over there ....
In my mind I can’t imagine using those bum guns, either it’d end up a hot mess or a sore ass. I’d be ordering a blackout curtain to measure for that tall glass window. Maybe you could fit a live in maid in that townhouse.
Hey Brent, Do you own a home in America? Do you still have a US phone and number. How does that all work for you? Asking because when I go to the Philippines I'll need a US phone for banking. I think. Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
Yes i do. Yes im still paying for my US phone but i took the sim card out and only put it back in if i need to use it in an emergency because Verizon charges $10 a day. I hear t mobile works over here but i got a Philippines sim card i use
Just to add my 2 cents... I use Magicjack to keep my US phone #.... $35 yearly subscription. I use it for all my banking and calling/texting back in the usa. Also have a good VPN.
@@willieshoemaker8680 Same here and google voice for banking texts. Decided to go with a VPN and pay extra for a dedicated IP. The MJ line works great.
@@brentstrippin8867 Thanks. I've been researching and so far I'm finding T mobile or magic jack. I'm planning to keep my home and maybe rent it out with a realtor manager. Keep up the great videos. 👍🏻

Works for some but not me.Boredom and discomfort are deal killers for me.Discomfort includes living in a polluted or trash filled area.

A good, honest cost of living vdeo 👍
I would only get a place with a pool or close to the ocean 🏝️
He is about 15 minutes away from the coast.
@@Lawrencerice need to walk to the water . Even in Toronto I am only a 15 min walk to the lake .
Same
Great deal, but I found housekeepers low cost there, and seeing your place might be a good investment,
Thats a nice price on the rent. Here in the land of taxes in the midwest. My property taxes & P. insurance is 400$ per month. Your living good.
Same for me but more :()

Love your transportation 😂😂 hey you make it look good! Love your videos, you make things simple
DAHM good deal Brent. Looking forward to your Vietnam videos😎
Very nice place, thank you for sharing.

Thanks Brent, seems like a great place to live.
Brent, I like your straight to the point videos.
Not a bad place for the price. My electric bill in Florida is about $180/mo average.
That's all a man needs! Good job!
Brent do you have a part time house keeper? I'm trying to figure the cost for rent etc. I appreciate the information you share, it's real helpful.
I dont

I will tell her about this video tomorrow when i see her. Maybe yall can work something out
No aircon downstairs, that makes no sense at all.
Greetings from new jersey
Great info, Brent.
You dont got that Safety Wings health insurance for 50 dollars a month? Covers pretty much everything.
Looks good to me..👍
Nice house you got there but you only need a room and a toilet

You’re prepared if you add a wife and kids
What city is in this brother? Thanks for the tour!!! Love it and hoping to come out to the PI soon. We shall see.
Dumaguete (Valencia)
Can I sleep in one of the spare bedrooms if I come stay for two weeks. I'll pay half the rent and only talk if spoken to. :()
Thanks !!!

When I went to Cebu City for two weeks back in 2006, I was overwhelmed by the sewerage smell. Is this a problem everywhere, or just big cities?
Its hit or miss. I dont notice it here
@1:02 You said everyone rides them in the Philippines were you talking about the girls or the Honda?
Both 😂
Good point . Lol

Well done
trust me i would rather live on 1500 a month but you have to proove things to yourself in life. this wont be forever, just 1 yr
@@user-ji6hc7qx6w I look at it that way also Prove it to yourself. I make my own food also and it is fresh!

Yes
You can live on that but if you want to date you will want more than that
@@altonarm women do make things more expensive.
