great stuff…thank for these types of vids. I’d love to see a 5k, 7500 and 10k version!

Great video. Much more compact than a lot of these. Thank you.

Interesting and informative 🇯🇲 💯. I'll definately use your service in the near future.

Another Excellent Video

good info !

I was spending about 6500 a month in the Philippines. Definitely living the life of luxury. Eat, drink, play unlimited.

Always good to see higher budget videos. Would like to see $5k, $10k if possible.

Keep being awesome man! Been following you since day one! 💪

Great Video. I'm subbed and have been watching a while. Here's a suggestion for another video. I'm a 60 year old male, retired and planning to use BGC as a base to travel Asia and relax about 6+ months per year. In the past, I have lived in Korea, Japan and the Philippines for a total of about 10 years, so I am fairly familiar with life in the PI. I do not plan to live there full time, so renting a condo on an annual basis may not make sense, but then again, an annual lease may be cheaper than 5-7 months of condo rental. Please consider a video that contrast an annual lease in BGC versus 6 months of monthly condo rent, versus living in a hotel (if there are any long term good hotel deals). Does renting by the month usually include utilities/internet and all the condo amenities such as the gym? Furnished versus unfurnished? Do condo buildings in BGC that are 5+ years old start to become less attractive due to lack of upkeep, management, less security and newer building being more attractive due to newer features, etc. (I know this happens in Bangkok)? What are the possibilities of living in a hotel? I know the price may initially seem high, but are the utilities and breakfast or club room (evening drinks and hors d' oeuvres) included? Are there different/unique visa considerations for someone who signs a one year lease? My budget would probably be $2500-3000+ depending on what's included. Thanks, keep up the great work.

If I stopped working today, and retire beginning next year and assuming I can already withdraw - $3K a month is what I'll receive based on how it computes. This is broken down into: - 1.3K from 401K - 0.3K from IRA - 1.4K from SS It will just go up from here. My target is go get this up to $3.5K because tax will probably get the extra $500K anyway, bringing me back to the $3K but this time a net.

My Social Security, Air Force retirement pension, and VA disability compensation, is considerably more than a surgeon in the Philippines, put me into a conference room with a surgeon, attorney, and other highly educated Filipinos and I would be sitting in the corner with a conehead hat that says dunce.

My problem is that by the time I get there, it'll be just as much if not more expensive than living in California

That was awesome thank you for this

Thanks for for this video - really loving your content! I just finished building a house and lot in Antipolo that rents our for $650. I also have some rentals here in Nevada and they're cash flowing about $800 per month. My next goal is to build an apartment complex in the Philippines as we have some land there. I am trying to make work optional hopefully in the next 3-5 years and one way to do that is with Real Estate :) Quick question for you - I am still doing some research but how much do you pay in the Philippines for health care? Thank you and wishing you all the best in your business!

Next do a $5,000 and up video.

I enjoy your channel, because you are good at explaining why you need to do a certain thing. There is another blogger out there that says you most have a minimum of $100,000 in the bank, to move to Philippines, and don't even show up if you don't make a minimum of $3,000. Keep up the good work. I will be coming over in October for a month, if I like it may come back and stay!!!

this topic has been featured in this channel around 5 times now

How is the mail service in areas like Dumaguete for shipping back to Europe or the USA? I do engravings and castings of small items like rings , pendants and keychains. Trying to find out if there's a way to retire early but keep a side gig income for a couple years until SSI begins so I don't drain my 401K like a fire hose before I reach 62.

Great video. I’ve been able to retire here in Cavite and am only 52 yrs old. It is so cheap that my dividends and stock options alone afford me a very comfortable life here. Keep up the good work. Love your videos. :)

I lived there for 9 months just left 2 weeks ago. I was spending $4k-$5k lived great

I did pretty good for myself and retired at 50. I already have a Filipina wife and a house in the Province. But she does not know big city prices such as BGC. I would love to see a 5K and up video. I want to live in the city just far enough away but close enough to travel when i want.

thats already a high standard and high maintenance lifestyle.. live in a farm in the philippines.. live simple and peaceful with your SSI benefits will do

BPO 500 USD , INCENTIVES MONTHLY 300 USD top performer, before moving try to stay for at least 6 months minimum

I live very well as an expat in Minglanilla, Tungkil on $5,000 a month. My wife and i bought a 4 bed/ 3 bath house, totally avoiding the Cebu City condo bubble. HIGHLY overpriced shoeboxes, the condo bubble will burst soon.

I was looking at nice hotels in Cebu and Manilla and prices seemed to be around $70 a night which hovers around $2100 a month. I'll only be there for the 30 days.

For a single person $3k a month even in BGC is too much.

A better advice would be work, save and invest for 30 years in America. Have your kids finish college in America, once they have their own family then you can move to the philippines and live off your investment of 8m(invested maximum in 401k and roth ira every year for 30 years in sp500 and schd) pulling out only 320k dollars a year(4%) which means it will never run out until you die. This way you can have multiple house maids, personal assistants, driver and couple of body guards. By this time, you should also own paid off house in america which you can sell and buy acres of land and mansion. Only go back to america for annual health check ups and tax returns or family emergencies. You can also help your filipino communities by building schools, churches and stores. If you move there right now, it will be hard for you to progress in life unless you keep investing in American market.

Can you do a video on StarLink in the Philippines. Is it the best internet option?

Next do cosmestic surgery prices in the Philippines (lipo, tummy tuck, buccal fat removal, hair transplant, skin laser treatments, butt lift, etc). Everyone does videos on Turkey or South Korea, curious about Philippines costs (and safety).

Can you do a family of 4 version budget in BGC ?

As an electrician in the states I make 150-200k per year.

We have a munggo . A 2 dollar meal for the whole day. For days you like to save money on meals.

How about getting your mail from U.S.? or a service that lets you see your U.S. mail?

Estimate, How much is the monthly total expenses if a couple living together with a college student in Philippines? Thank you

Pay attention to the key metric he used: 56 to 1 peso. It is highly unlkely that ratio remains that high over the next 10 years. If it goes to 25 to 1 and you are living on SS, everything you are paying for doubles. If the US dollar gets replaced as the reserve currency of the world, it will take a steep drop. Ex pats really need to protect themselves from a dollar shock by finding a way to make some local income in pesos. Maybe SE can do a video on that

Bro, I'm gonna say no to that haircut.

$3,000 a month gets u a park bench and a ticket by ur local friendly police.😮

My food bill is 400$ a month in silicon valley, california

@SavvyExpat how much is a 3 bed or 4 bed 2 bath home rent in Quezon City? Or in Cebu closer to where the cold springs are or the beach

Will be moving there with my wife soon as the kids are functioning adults.. I retired early from the military and receive 100% disability. 6,200 a month tax free

I often wondered what the higher end comes were in the Philippines. It's too bad for skilled jobs like electricians and other skilled labor that they make so little. Are you from the US. Your English is impeccable.

I’m at $2250 passive income a month now- might be getting an increase to $4100 a month real soon. My goal is to move to Cebu area when I hit $3k🤞🏻

Feck me I earn more than a surgeon as an uber driver in west London.😂 💪🇵🇭🇬🇧 Cant wait to retire in Pinas.

$3000 is fairly high, not for the American on social benefit. A 180 degree mediterran view in Albania has a rent of $500.

what are your views about living in Cavite,philippines

The statement at 5:11 isn't accurate. $3K per month is below middle class in the US....

2 More years to go, but I want to live on the beach, so I'm just curious what a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a little private lot would cost a month, I have seen many and am looking for long term..................

Of course, Americans should add income taxes, healthcare costs, and other expenses not included in living expenses. I way overshot on the savings, why am I still working. I get $7k/mo. just in dividends. In my taxable account.

Here in the North East of the US, a studio apt will start around $1,500 a month alone. Obviously this depends/varies on city and neighborhood.

Cant compare like that...complete wrong comparison

earning$3000 a month that lawyer is one of the honest ones lol

you can live with 500 per month.

I wont live there but i support a home there and in Seattle doing that for 10yrs i visit but i like west culture a d boating season

How about 8K per month

❤❤❤

I work from home in California. Moved here to live. $3K here is equal to $10k in the SF Bay Area, maybe more. Its crazy.

College student in iloilo or dumaguete university I mean. Not manila or cebu

Please, how far would 3000/month go in Tagaytay area. This is where my filipino wife and I are thinking of retireing.

A plumber can make $50 an hour after 5 years.

Is that USD costs ?

3,000 dollars here in LA is about minimum wage

what about TAXES

If you did not plan, have debt and cannot afford to retire in the US, Philippines is an option.

How about $3,000 per month and a paid for BGC condo?

I’ll never be able to be there. That’s Already more than I make in the US.

I'm gonna find out San Diego to Philippines

Living like a baller when I retire in PI

Thats a good income here. At least in makati

I would love to be in one of your interviews. Is there a business email I can reach you?

How do I humanely bring my 2 small dogs and a cat?

BGC: the Dumaguete for rich folks.💲🤑💰

12k a month?

Are you kidding. The trades as they are called in the USA. Are very skilled and make great wages. Doctors make 5000 a week or more in the USA. How much does medical school cost there? USA, its well over 100000.

Senior airline captain pay in the US with ot $500k to $700k per year

Thats hard to believe

For your next videos: How to be “savvy” when buying a car / big bike / scooter etc. in the Philippines 😊

wow 3000 us dollars is one bedroom apartment here in Bay Area California where I live. Time to look for remote work!!!

Thank you for Great content.. I am not Looking at relocation but a yearly 2-4 month getaway to include City-Golf -Beach.. budget $7k per month.. BGC ?

Your video makes me greatful that I was born an american.

Are you a PRA agent or have access to this. I know that if i choose the SRRV visa that i don't need to pay for estafa agencies when my fees paid to the PRA cover it . If you are propagating this crime, then you need to be put in prison.

YOUR channel should be a lot bigger than it is...?? WHY is your subscription so low ... THIS is One of the best channels.... your doing ( something wrong )... YOU should by now have AT LEAST One hundred thousand subscribers at THIS point.. Lighten up and Stop " pitching".. watch " PEA" ,... fineness...😮

In California, I used to make over 5K a month after taxes and I was barely getting by. 😂😅😅😂

Wow!!! With $10k/mo, I guess I COULD eat my Carnivore diet at Ruth’s Chris every day. Day-yum!!!

i want to live for 1k - 1.5k not in manila or bgc ...

3000 us I could live on that just as well here in Australia. So why would you go to the Philippines. I tell you it's no fairytale there.

Blue collar making so much in the USA now since the shortage of real men in the country now days you can make 100k out high school nows days off these jobs

Wait do $10000/month!

With inflation now, 3k is like living paycheck to paycheck.

I make 500k a year. Mind you I have no children and zero debt. I have a six figure portfolio (Stocks, crypto crowdfunding real estate, savings, and CD's) it wasn't easy. I hustled, saved, and invested my money. I always tell people "Money can't fix stupid"

$12k a month??

Why are you waving your hands around and cutting the video every 2 or 3 seconds? Almost unwatchable.

Yes, much lower wages...3k no problem. Lame vid , unless for the total newbie. 😅

Living like a king in the province on 3k? You can’t live like a king even on 5k in the province. Simply because most likely those resources won’t be accessible. Unless you wanna eat chicken and rice every day or pork BBQ. But how is that living like a king?

You excluded anything around healthcare or insurance. Important for a "savvy expat".

Mofck yalls can savvy all you want. Just got back from a 2 week vacay and that inferno heat is too real! .. how yallz can wear jackets or act fashionable is beyond me! Jk. Love PH! Once u get used to the demon heat! Yea it's worth it! Haha.

This still does not protect against overcrowding crap food and cueing. Better to live lower standard of living in a better environment of the west.

Rents in BGC and Makati are Too high for what you get. Ex-pats should be shooting for a 500-dollar rent budget. I have this budget. And you should never spend more that 30% on rent anywhere. Finding a decent place in Manila was very difficult without overspending. Never, And I mean NEVER give a landlord 2 month's security deposit in advance. It's a scam and you will have to fight like hell to get it back. If you ever do.

Hi i live in California and would love to connect with you and take your help. I was unable to find you on Insta .. will be great if you can share your coordinates to connect
