I will endeavour to load any adventure that I try. It won't be the most regular yet or the best quality, but if its enjoyable then the oyster is my world. Hang on, that's a good channel title.
Shame we didn't get to see Ruby. Would be nice to get a women's point of view - enjoyed your video greatly but it's obviously very much from a Man's perspective.
There are offices all over Philippines for visa renewal, you get a free month on arrival and then keep renewing before the last visa is finished. You can carry on like this for 3 years and have to leave for at least a day, come back, start again.
Certainly not the "best" channel about the philliys, but at least with effort and honesty. Respect! It's certainly more attractive not only to LISTEN to your experiences, but to back them up with real pictures. Then your channel will explode here, hihi
Good budget, and less stress, obviously much cheaper then your home country, try to live in the UK on that money, it's always cheaper to rent in the Philippines, because you can never own any property
Impressive and great information... A really fantastic "Cost of living in the Philippines (Cebu) June 2024." sharing! You can count on my full support to your wonderful channel. Good luck colin & All the best po/Ned 👍👏👍
This $4,000 if you reside and lived at ROCKWELL IN MAKATI NOT IN CEBU. MAKATI IS THE FINANCIAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES JUST LIKE CHICAGO AND NEW YORK.
ThT is the American Way to live lavishly and extravagant ways. That is why you need a monthly income of $4,000 monthly to live lavishly in the Philippines. In fact there are lots of Americans living lavishly in the Philippines.
You can. Getting a long term lease will make it cheaper. But you might spend more than that your first few months of getting settled. I'd make your budget goal 800 and try to save 400 a month for unexpected expenses.
@@RandyWHorton If people are so worried about health insurance and medical costs because they have bad health or are in generally poor condition they should not move here. The medical system generally lacks in quality compared to many other places.
first time i watched your vid. very informative. i subscribed. im 68 years old retired in Michigan USA. i chat with Filipinas online. the people there seem friendly and fun. how long have you been in the Phils? what brought you there?
I wanted a place to retire where the weather was good, English speaking and inexpensive. Saw many you tube videos about the Philippines and it ticked all the boxes. People here are so friendly and helpful. Give it a try.
Always interesting to see new folks explain costs to others as per their situation. There is no standard and you can find many situations depending on your experience. I bought my first place in Cebu 30 years ago and have seen and heard it all. I wish everyone luck finding their way. 🎉
My wife and I own residential and commercial property in Rizal province, Antipolo and Theresa. It's around 90 minutes from Manila. We bought it pre-Covid and have benefitted from the outflow of people who work in Manila/Quezon City/Pasig but prefer a relatively clean environment not affected by pollution. A couple of our houses are at quite a high altitude so there is no need for aircon. We have a decent income and no rent to pay and the property values have increased significantly. Our tenants pay PP30,000 pcm in rent in high-end gated communities. The kids are at university and private school and we have comprehensive health insurance for the family. Ultimately, income exceeds costs, so that is all you need to live a decent life. We came here from HK, which is an expensive place to live, so groceries/eating out etc., are about 6 times cheaper.
@@jonnyx348 hello, I have a Revolut card, which I would recommend to anyone, anyway just linked the account of the management company. They work out the details of of the electricity and water. And I do it in one payment.
True, I own one. It can only be used like 10 minutes in the Phils before it overheats. I need to sell it to someone who lives in the Artic Circle, I am sure it would perform superbly in sub zero temps 😂
Steady Eddy just done a RU-vid video praising insurance after his head tumour found in Thailand,they paid medivac air flight back to UK for him. But thats a risk you take not having it I'm more a Thailand expat but is short time girl in Cebu ok for 1,000 pesos and how do you pick them up there to take back to room? Do they have street girls there I can pick up ?
@@Not_A_TouristThere's no shortage of prostitutes here ladies or ladyboys. Obviously poverty and lack of opportunities have driven them to that. I am making a video of the good and bad things here, watch this space👀
Philippines is an adventure country. If you just sit and watch TV in your home or condo might as well stay back where you came. There are lots to see, the beautiful sunsets, cultural celebrations and fiestas, rugged mountains and volcanos, soft white sandy beaches and the good people that can watch over you. It will take you a lifetime to see all the inhabited and uninhabited islands. Also it's a gateway to other countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia like Japan. English is spoken at most of the resorts and the signs and government form are in English. You don't have to learn a new language but it helps a little to know a local one, depending which island are you in.
Mr Colin hello your channel just come up, I'm Peter originally N. Ireland been in Penang Island 10+ yrs. Thanking seriously of having a look at Cebu. Your video very useful Tq. 😅
They do, visa and mastercard are worldwide. I use Revolut as there are no charges on purchases, I would strongly advise getting one or something similar. Most banks have a 10k withdrawal limit and you can't escape the 250 peso charge. China bank is the only one I've used that let's you have more than 10k.
Thanks, I'll look for your channel, most philipinos are on the 200 dollars level, the poverty here is so sad. Very over populated and few decent jobs. Still happy people and low crime rate.
Thanks for your video. I think we have to look at the fact that the average Filipino lives for far less than $1000 a month actually less than $500 a month in some Filipinos can live on $200 a month. That’s just a fact. it all depends on what kind of lifestyle you wanna have. I’m just getting started with RU-vid and I have a few videos out about the Philippines, but I’ve only been able to visit one time. I do plan on going back as soon as possible and eventually living there forever one thing I know for sure, no matter how much money I have I’ll be much happier in the Philippines!
The ONLY way to stretch your dollar is to live in a rural area, have a scooter motorcycle as your vehicle and learn to cook and eat local cuisine....I probably can live by $1200 minimum, a month frugally...just rent , electricity, internet and phone then cook your own...
