The province life will be cheaper. But you get what you pay for.
Hey Brian my dear friend, our monthly budget has definitely gone up, just due to the fact that everything is going up. We must have spent close to 100,000 pesos for the month of January. But that also includes our moving expenses. Hopefully, February the expenses will come down some. Our grocery bill is usually around 15,000 pesos per month. I have myself starting to cut back on a few luxurious items. We just need to keep watching the budget brother. Thank you Brian my dear friend for sharing this awesome video. Please stay safe and healthy, and God bless you, lot, Borges, Miguel, Hannah grace, Bing Bing(Sam), Reynalyn, Reynalyn's daughter, Adrian, Chubbs, and the rest of your beautiful family. And may God bless Batchoy, B-2, Rocky, Mama Earl(RIP), and little snow always.😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Great Video Brian....Thanks for sharing
*Thx4share good info Philly* 👍🇺🇲
I've been retired 2 years. My age appropriate wife is from Cebu. Married 10+ years. We reside in NE Texas. Our annual cost of living is +/- $80,000.00. High end home,desired neighborhood, we have multiple properties, and too many hard assets to list. Again,my wife is from Cebu. We have looked hard at replicating our life style there and a solid estimate is $60,000.00 a year. The question is why. Move from a safe first world country with more amenities than can be listed to a polluted third world country with isolated "nice" areas. What is the point? Currently every major river in all of the Philippines is so polluted the water is deadly. In our area of Texas the water supplies for our town are 2 lakes and a river.And if you are near all 3 the water can be consumed straight out of them without fear of death.
Very helpful info, Philly ... Thanks!
Any time!
Good to see you again, Brian. That is a great piece of information. My regards to all of you from Central Florida, USA.
Thank you, Brian, for the reality check. So many of these bloggers push the unrealistic budget of 800 to a 1000 bucks a month, which I guess you could, but who would.
Doable if just you and a girlfriend, renting. Add children and a lifestyle, double or triple it.
People that want to that’s who.
Good video. Thanks
You bet
Good info.
Hi Brian,we live in Pangasinan and built our home and yes it's in my wife's name of course.Anyway, your expenses in the province will be half or less than half in the province.We met a few years back at Tequila Reef,and took a picture.Anyhow, after you adjust a little you will never want to move from the province.Just stay busy by working out, walking and meeting the vendors so you can shop fresh food in the morning 😊
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the updates about this. This information is important to me knowing what I could be facing when I move there.
Glad it was helpful!
We own our house and land so have no rent, in Davao. Water, we sunk a well (cost about 40k pesos), I've had the water tested and it complies with international standards for drinking water. Been drinking and cooking with it for years and never an issue. Water Department wanted 60k to connect us, no thanks. Internet and Netflix is 2k, electric is 6k (slowly going solar). Solar to run the house will cost on total about 200k so after 3 years will be free and any excess we can sell back to the electric company. Butane for cooking around 600 pesos per month. We buy meats, fruits and veggies at the market and the prices are reasonable. We have 2 pedigree cats and 4 dogs, 1 a pedigree, and they cost quite a bit to feed and groom, but that is not a necessity. We have a car but locally we tend to use trikes. A return journey to the mall/market for 2 people is 60 pesos. I only have 1 son left at school, the other 2 are working, and that costs 4k per month. All still a hell of a lot cheaper than the west. All depends on your income.
I use to spend $2,000 in Us. I spend $2,000 here. You will spend what you have
Super interesting
Glad you think so!
Brian you seem to live pretty good on that budget.
Congratulations. With me being single and my lifestyle I would easily spin more than that Bixby. It's great to see what a family afford can live for thank you.
Dang Brian I thought I spent alot. But it has definitely go up here in Lipa City. I am looking at $1800 to 2000.00 a month. 12,500 pesos or 230.00 a month for a 2 bdrm 2 bath apartment, 6000.00 pesos a month for electric or a little over $100.00, 1200 pesos for internet, 750.00 for water, 800 pesos for a tank of propane, groceries are the biggie at about 25,000 pesos a month. Eating out is around 3000.00. And then family at 4000.00 pesos a month. Animals which is 1 dog and 3 cats whuch are all rescues about 4000.00 a month, so it adds up. Not to mention a trip once every 2 months which is around 20,000 pesos. Still it is much cheaper than the states.
Great video , just one question - what about health Insurance ?
Not bad at all for a family of four people and pets Brian. Many people pay that much in rent alone here in Vancouver, Canada. Good info. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Great video Brian very interesting and informative
Same in Australia weekly expenses gone up by 200 dollars if your buying a house or renting its gon up by1000 thats the same around the world cheers keep up the good work 💪💪👏👍🇦🇺
You pay more for electricity there than I do for gas and electric in South Carolina. My fallback plan is to move to the Philippines. I would build a house as we have family property there. My monthly military retirement plus VA money would afford me a very comfortable lifestyle as I would not need to rent and the house would be paid for from the equity from the house I currently own.
Great video.. Now I with you numbers you gave I can get on idea of the cost for when i move my family to Dau.. near the hospital. It will cost around 1600.00 CND a month.. My wives family lives there now.. we will be moving later this year I hope.
You will see the difference when you move here I spend about 1300dlls including car payment thanks for sharing take care
Your monthly expenses when converted to my Canada dollar is very close to my monthly expenses living in Canada
I can think of a few things to add on for many people. But that is up to the individual or depends on family circumstances.. But you yourself, you could add $1,500 easily to that budget by living in the USA.👍
Thanks Brian haha I didn’t rent I own house visit every year once thousands already a week groceries . Watching from Murray Kentucky 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Your wrong on the electric. 21,890php is $390.55
❤❤❤👍👍👍
I choose to live on the “rough “ side. I live very close to Philly with my girlfriend and are Three kids and our budget is about a thousand dollars a month.
Your monthly budget is a cost of a mortgage payment/rent in the Pacific Northwest.
Lol wait till you go to a provincial city, the absolute cost of living will go down but comparatively the cost will go up in terms of loss of quality.
Oh in relation to my family, 4 daughters, 3 stepgrandchildren, maid/nanny, housekeeper, college, HS fees, groceries, veggies, electricity, water, holidays, house maintenance, dinners, cars, petrol, maintenance, repairs, insurances, registration, gifts, birthday parties, 18ths debuts, visa fees, visa runs, medicals: ceasarin sections x 3, birthing fees x 3 hospital visits x 10, never ending nappies, baby foods, formula milk, clothes and more clothes, jewelry, mobile phones, electronics, furniture, electronics replacement and repairs, shoppee, Lazada, food delivery,
Total around 1.2 million pesos per year give or take a few thousand.
Damn!!! thats crazy!!! I think your gonna save more than 1/2 when you move, I live south of where you guys are moving and we live very good, do without nothing and our total monthly is a fraction of what your paying, so good decision to move!!!
Insurance on your bike does not include insurance for the bike its only for personal injury with a limit of 100000 pisos paid on death ,less for other injuries
Not bad and yea it will be cheaper in the Province....in Florida with a paid off house and no car payments...fixed expenses..."utilities, property tax, insurances, groceries, gas"..for us are $2,500 its the discretionary weekly things that can get costly here.
Hi. A subscriber of yours for a while. Enjoy your commentary about Angeles and Luzon. My wife and I have a house and property on the outskirts of Ozamiz City on Mindinao. Question, Do you have Health Insurance there like PhilHealth and if so how much do you pay for it? I am paying about $275 USD for PhilHealth for 4 there. Thanks
Yea a good chunk of change as times have changed since 2010 there in Angeles City. Ain’t cheap no more but you guys do alright for yourselves 😂
You have two teen aged children, why are you hiring a maid?
Honest reviews and insights living in the Philippines.
I am a new subscriber and a vlogger too here in the Angeles City.😊
Your incredible , I could never live on that. I admire you , what kills me is my travel and too much steak and lobster. Steak 4200 per kilo, lobster 2500 and tiger shrimp 1200.
I bought a condo in davao 5yrs ago .Got it cheap of a guy in the uk who ws broke after his bf found his pin number.Anyway with condo dues,electric and water costs me on average 5000peso p m.No cocks yelling,no dogs barking and security 24hrs aday.If I ever want to sell it I could make a couple of million peso above.
It all depends on - "how" - and - "where" - - - both in the US & in the Philippines. --- Family life like yours is much more costly than for a single frugal elderly person by themself. --- That would be me - I'm alone & would have frugal needs for a simple comfortable life. -- Several US expats are retired in the Lipa City - to - Trace Martires areas - on about $800/mo. recurring budget expenses ! -- Not extras or travel or vices. -- -- -- The budget you describe in the province is an extreme - but illustrates what is possible over there. > Well done !
You need to plan ahead. And realize you won’t be living a western style existence. Keep life simple and enjoy your surroundings. Everyone’s budget is different depending on what makes them happy and what they are chasing.
How much do the bridge people pay a month to live?
You Said 2329/ Month Your Crazy, Me And My Wife Live On Half Hotel Life In AC
Everyone is different
$3,000 is low end . I live in Angeles own my own upper end condo , i go through $4,500 a month US.
@@PhillyinthePhilippines You are 100% correct Philly good blog.
@@michaelbyrne5469you’re probably a trick that’s why
Cmon Philly you are new there, you dont remember "cheap" in Philippines....like bus to Manila for 40 pesos.
That seems like a LOT of money, especially for the Philippines. Your retirement from the Penn State Prison System must pay a lot more than my brother gets from retiring from AZ system. He's looking forward to being able to fully retire to get SSI, because his pension doesn't pay for squat. He wanted to stay longer, but took a smack to an eye at work, and it was enough to mess up his vision, and he knew he would not be able to get re-certified for weapons because of it.
👍🏻👍🏻😎🇬🇧
Well, you must have one good pension. A lot of people don’t have that they care.
Very interesting, I'm sure if you were living in the USA and living the same lifestyle you would be paying more than double that, maybe triple. Heck my mortgage payment for my home in Anchorage, Alaska is over $2700 a month and that at a 2.5% interest rate. I live in San Roque Bitas, Arayat and pay comparable prices as you pay and like you, I don't go for want. I live an extremely comfortable lifestyle.
Don't think so..we live pretty well on $4000 a month in Florida...no debt and have 2 younger kids. My house is also way nicer than Brian's. We make way more but like to live below means so we can retire semi young.
I grew up in Anchorage, has always been expensive. Not as expensive as San Diego though. I stay in Makati on and off and rent is 840 a month but all inclusive so electric, water and other services in the condo building is covered. I didn't like the Philippines much when I stayed a year and a few months but after a break I don't mind it much now. I'm in Japan and will be back in Makati at the end of the month. I do want to hit boracay again I had a blast there
Still a bargain, we spend 1000k just on gasoline and food alone
I thought you were moving what happen with that?
What a deal
Brian great information on the COLA in the 🇵🇭. It’s a bargain compared to most places on the planet. Then you factor in the kindness and politeness of the people in the 🇵🇭 you can’t be it. As always I enjoy your video’s always thanks for sharing ✌🏾.
Traysikad rako kada adlaw😂 Aton mkatiipif
When are you moving?
Bit hard for you to do a single blokes Costa living Eh! My Aus Pension of $500 a fortnight, is different to what my Mum and Step Dad got on their fortnightly pensions. Thanks m8, stay vertical Eh!
I saw where Andy Omar commented on the price rises there, do you think it’s the only country in the world not having to cope with price rises. I pay 56,000 pesos a month for a 2 Br unit in Australia the most expensive country in the world. Believe me the Philippines with a lot of items is still much cheaper than a lot of Western countries
The average wage in Australia is over AU$100000 per year ,so it's all relative..
@@laurencehyde2168 not when your on a pension, try 26,000
Brian where do you get your funds from as the Pension does not pay that much. Brian to get paid to be pain what is your secrets of your cash flows. All of these extras money must be coming form some where, Brian what's your source. And the sources rolling in from where???
Lol...as if he's going to tell anyone that...
Sponsorship deals with UA,Gatorz,and TH-cam income + dividends from his investment portfolio..I calculate at least 1/4 million USD per year..
Philly. Lord Ricky drama is in your area. Find him. He can help your channel he is always number 1 expat. But you know that.
Boy, I get different living cost from vologers, one says you need 3000usd a month to live comfortly and some say you only need 1000usd a month, then some say you can live on 800usd a month, I'm confused
Everyone is different.
To live the same as US on 1000? Not a chance unless you go local.Everyone is different but to live same as in US.2,500 a month is good. Anything over that your rich here.
@alanmiller8889 not sure...the house won't be up to US standards and that's likely with running ac less than you would In US since electricity is more than the US. A nice house in a gated Philippines community is going to be closer to $1000 a month that's more similar to a US home.
@@markg999 He was saying 1000 a month income is enough to live on here. Not a chance. I have a house here and it is american standards. Just depends on where you live.1000 for a house here in Barrio Baretto is unheard of.No to little crime and peaceful
Try and se how they all live, if they own
ent, have a car, insurance, where they live etc... and se what you need.
your expenses might have went up but its still very low compared to the USA
Thats a lot less than I thought you would need. My bike that I ride about 200 mile a year cost about $350 a year to insure. I don't drive it much because I have two cars and a motor home all with AC and better able to carry things in. My living expenses here in Florida, USA is about $8,000.00 a month with insurance and taxes and utilities, and I don't have a house or car payment.
HE OMITS HIS LARGE BOOZE EXPENSE. THE COST FOR EL PRESIDENTE ROT GUT WHISKEY KEEPS GOING UP. 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
He brews his own beer and has a moonshine set up out the back...😂
" Brother Brian Kerver, " And just to let you know and also I have a personal question to you,Why are you wearing a black and yellow baseball cap that says, YAMAHA on the front of your hat? Aren't you suppose to promote,own and sell your/our Harley --- Davidson Motorcycle Company/Companies's invented,developed and constructed motorbikes.And also because you are a Caucasian or White American gentleman and Harley --- Davidson motorcycles are considered to be a " Pure Americana " influence/influences not just in your/our home nation,home country and home state called the United States of America ( And God Bless America ) and also all over the world.Please reply!!!
Just be patient bro....
Wait till it GROWS UP A BIT..
It will get bigger,, it will no longer brake easily and lose the ability to go around corners just like a HD..
I think if you Google, Where are Harley Davidson motorcycles and parts made?, you're in for a big surprise.
if you're going to spend the rest of your'e life there and have a fillapina wife why not buy a property
Property deeds in the Philippines, are a nightmare. Homes don’t even have addresses. An address may show up on Google Maps but there’s no home address on the property. Unless you’re buying from a foreigner, who has already gone through at least one year of hell to get a proper deed to a property, you are taking an extreme risk of being conned. The government gives a family that lives on the property for 100 years the right to live on that property going forward, but they still don’t own the property . People sell these property’s . There are different types of deeds like a tax deed. A tax deed is a paper saying that you paid the tax on a property, but that doesn’t mean you own the property, and it’s worthless, yet people sell with these tax deeds.When it comes to property in the Philippines, Rent !
@@Usefullinformationphilippines sounds worse than thailand
@Usefullinformationphilippines good info...thanks. So guessing the govt owns the majority of these properties with just tax deeds?
It's getting expensive.
You better buy now.
@@markg999wrong
One guy on here said if you don’t have 3000 dollars per month ( i think he means US dollars) that’s $4600 aussies dollars then stay out of philippines. It’s true i lived in angeles for 5 years before covid. The game has changed be aware.
I have said that many times , $3,000 is lower end .
BS there's guys who live on way less than that. Have passive income and a savings and you'll be good. You dudes must be tricking (spending money) on your gfs there cause there's no way I'm spending more than 800 in rent in Makati, and minus my cell phone bill and 2 credit cards that leaves me with plenty of change to save. When you have youth and good looks on your side you don't have to worry about having 3-6K to boot a month.
Rubbish,stop spreading misinformation mate..1500 dollars is plenty,same here in Thailand..we are discussing the Phiilpines,not Monaco.ffs.
@peterdutchy exactly 💯 dudes are spending WAY too much in a country like the Philippines they act like it's Costa Rica 😂
@@alaskanwhiskeyright it’s like dudes lack basic common sense. There is no way 3000 a month isn’t enough. These dudes are abusing women and drugs that’s why it’s not enough. When you’re a serial trick it’s never going to be enough. Tricking thousands on young women is the problem.
Great vlog mate can't understand why u got a maid for 10.000 peso a month unbelievable
Why not? I would have a bodyguard as well..
Maybe u need 1 lol
Lol lazy that’s why
Hey Brian my dear friend, our monthly budget has definitely gone up, just due to the fact that everything is going up. We must have spent close to 100,000 pesos for the month of January. But that also includes our moving expenses. Hopefully, February the expenses will come down some. Our grocery bill is usually around 15,000 pesos per month. I have myself starting to cut back on a few luxurious items. We just need to keep watching the budget brother. Thank you Brian my dear friend for sharing this awesome video. Please stay safe and healthy, and God bless you, lot, Borges, Miguel, Hannah grace, Bing Bing(Sam), Reynalyn, Reynalyn's daughter, Adrian, Chubbs, and the rest of your beautiful family. And may God bless Batchoy, B-2, Rocky, Mama Earl(RIP), and little snow always.😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
