    I'll say it again thank you for showing the normal places that locals would live in. Other expats only show those priced places and make it seem normal to be spending $600-$1000 on rent in the philiipines

      @just_another_bot0110 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Agreed. That price is normal for condo living but it also includes utilities. Depending on how much electricity you use it's not a whole lot different than this. Counting utilities (and wifi) you may save maybe $200 if you find a good spot. I know for some $200 could be a big strain on their budget but if it isn't the location of the condo could be worth far more than that to some

    Wow $280 for rent, that is way better than the cost of rent here in Dallas right now. Which is $1,200-$2,000 per month.

      I live in both worlds and am well aware of the expenses. Half of the time I’m in the so called first world. For the same amount of money, you can get the full 5 star treatment in the Philippines. The amenities and quality are more than equal to the so called first world. People who have not experienced this at all are just all talk.

    As I eat my smoked ribs and listening to this! I'm not familiar with the spine on the ribs, but I always use a spoon and peel the membrane off the back (underside) of the baby back ribs. I'm going to have to simmer mine in hot water for 2 hours first, also. Love that idea, Michael!

    Sometimes the honeymoon lasts a long time but when the money starts being wasted,it will be over before you know it.The expat has to put his foot down on the girlfriend especially if she’s young on how she spends his money!Remember,they all think that foreigners are rich.Don’t ever show off that you have a lot of money!

    That place i could live with that price on my 700 dollars security but here the government will stop my payments after three months if i am not in the country. Nevertheless I have a solar PV company and soon I will be signing two important 20 years least for solar PV with the government for a 5 megawatts installation on various government buildings. This will guarantee me an income of over 3000 USD a month for 20 years. I have two other projects I am involve making a startup this year one is a waste landfill treatment plant with my partner and another a high tech hydroponics farms using solar tech to grow vegetables here in closed containerised systems that fives high yield production. I will be retiring in Ilolo most probably Roxas city as I feel more a slower city guy than the big city life. I will see how things goes in the next 6 to 8 months.
