Mmm, my average budget on living in Pattaya with a full time Thai girlfriend for the last 4 years is around $1.600 a month. We both don’t drink or go to bars, that makes a big difference! We spend our time playing badminton, jogging, swimming, gym and travelling. Healthy body healthy life! Having a Thai women who loves the temple and not the bar prolongs your live and happiness here for me! 😊

So, if you don't drink or chase bar girls you can probably make it there fairly cheap ! Thanks Professor Cool

3k usd is more than double the median pension in Europe, just putting things into perspective. 3k usd is actually what most people make working average jobs here in Norway. Conclusion - don't tip like U.S folks and u will be fine on half.

My favourite drugs are a clear mind and a pretty girl. 😊

Basically having more fun = bigger budget ...

Hygiene in the danger zone? 😂

After taxes taken out of my monthly retirement check I'm left with just under 300k php. I'm living fairly comfortably but my biggest expense is that I eat western food pretty much daily. I cant get into Filipino food more than a few times a month

My beer/cigarette bill is around PP14,000 pcm. My wife and I own our properties, both commercial and residential. My biggest expense is on the kids' education, but we bring in around PP80-100,000 pcm, so we are cool. We get around another USD2000 pa through investments, and that gives us a holiday.

Geez Ace Just get a wife, much cheaper

Been waiting for this one.

This was an excellent video. I really appreciate how you break the cost down into individual categories. Please keep More of these videos coming.

ACE, running the numbers. Works for me! ✌🏼

What a Guy! This is the first ACTUAL breakdown. $800 on alcohol, $350 on girls, $381 on entertainment. My budget would literally look 100% the same.

Where do you get your insurance coverage ? As a tourist do you use travel insurance like Faye or Alianz ? They are pretty expensive !

Thanks ACE - To put it into perspective, working within your budget and being married to a Filipina, having our own house and living on a free Balikbayan annual visa (but need to run around the flagpole once a year for a night in Hong Kong/Taiwan/ Bangkok to renew the vise) my expenses would be around $650 without the danger zone. My danger zone, being married, is restricted (although I may barhop once a week with the odd lady drinks, and I only really drink SMB with the odd G&T (local). I will have about 6 bottles of SMB a day socially with friends so approximately Php 40,000 ($695) a month on entertainment. Which is doable on a UK State Pension (which the U.K & Philippines have a joint agreement). My only problem is whereas my medications are free on the NHS in the UK, I have to pay for them in the Philippines (paying to see a doctor would be an added cost, but at least you can see one live instead of a phone call!)

Retirement Budget ideas 💡. Professor Cool, thanks for the boots on the ground travel info. Respect

You forgot the cost of a stick and duct tape to keep the dingus from rotting off

Ace man puts it down huh...$800 drinking per month! You can surely drink bro!!

You only pay 1.5K pesos a month for electricity?

Why not live a little nearer to where you normally go daily so as to reduce the money spent on transportation? 200p one way sounds like you’re living quite far from the places you go most often

ok i watching i understood Allah ha Akbar

How long can you keep extending your visa every two months for? Thanks!

Hell, just cut down on drinking, $800 a month seems crazy. If I spent that much on booze I’d be a drunk alcoholic 7 days a week.

I understand you have to show that you have income. If you’re retired and getting money every month how do you tell them you’re on ssi or ssdi and do they easily accept that as your source of income, is there a special form for that or as long as you got income they approve your visa? Please explain since you’re the professor please aaaand thank you!

Good thing I do not drink, smoke or hang out in bars with women that do.

id like to see how you would break down a budget video for the one week millionaire

Did you include WiFi? The phone seems expensive, I would just keep it as basic as possible and just use free WiFi.

When are you going to come on vacation to Tijuana, Baja California?🍺🍺🍺

I can see he don't have the AC or a fan on because he's sweating inside......I didn't have an AC when I lived there, and I carried around a fan because it gets stupid hot inside those apartments. Also for himself he didn't mention in the misc. he has an additional expense for his kid. :)

Do you have cable TV whats that cost a month in Angeles ? It does sound like i can live in angeles pretty well i am single retired on $4300.00 a month pension after taxes. Thanks for the info.

Hmmm... I come in closer to $500 on beer..but I drink primarily at home. Girls? I just spent $200 last night for two I know-they're still sleeping 😂😂 Just calculated my spending 184,000 Right there close to 3k

Another budget; whats this, what’s that? A budget every month?

LOL! $800 a month for alcohol. Aren't you forgetting the insulin shots? That much alcohol sugar would put anyone on a path to pre-diabetes at least!

Norage in despite

This channel is stagnated, so you are doubling down on smart girls...rolling out the hourly vids , like a assembly line.😅

I thought your budget was $2k.

Watching Ace's demeanor as he moved his hand around that whiteboard I have concluded Professor Ace speaks from SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE on the "pleasures" listed in the (clearly demarcated) "DANGER ZONE" section. Bottom Line: If you want to play in the DANGER ZONE it's gonna cost you a minimum US $2k monthly, not including tips, I assume.
