I've been ER nurse here in CA for 21 years, my wife and family moved back to PI 2017 , just come to the US for work. You can't get ahead sa rat race d2 sa america. Try living simple, and get rid of consumer mentality. Be very careful buying a home up keeping and taxes is expensive. You'll realized later, your old and haven't saved up any. My wife is also an RN but living better life in PI. One more thing College in the US extremely expensive. Your kids after college will owe a lot. To be a nurse in CA NOW 2021, 160,000$ per info I got from new RN based here.
Two nurses and you guys didn't do well here in the US? Interesting. My wife is a nurse; she does not even patol the OTs but we are doing well (compared to a lot of people) here in north CA. Our daughter's college fund is funded already. Our property tax is in the $10K now but we're ok, nababawi naman sa refund.
mahirap talaga ang buhay dito sa US ako retire na pero nagtatrabaho pa rin ng partime kasi kulang galing din kami sa Illinois mahirap ang buhay doon kasi mataas ang tax kaya pay check to pay check kami lumipat kami dito sa Vegas last 2001 nakabili kami ng bahay worth $190,000 pero ang tax niya for one year ay $1200 lang compare to carpentersville $800 a month kamusta na lang sa iyo and your family god bless your family always
Thanks for being transparent. Tight po pala budget dyan. Kaya tama na rin desisyon ko di ako sanay sa stress. Dito sa kuwait boring life advantage makakaipon. 2600 us dollar converted free tax accommodation transpo sa work. Pagkain lang di libre. Car not necessary kasi anywhere may bus sorry po for comparing.
Great vid sir. Nakakamotivate yung mga videos nyo para saking 22yrs old na nag di dream makapunta jan. But now suntok sa bwan pa sir hahahaha more videos sir. Keep safe God bless 🙏🏻
I live in LA. The cost of living here is really high. I can relate much like when you settled all your monthly bills and you'll end up just having like $100 left. Lol. I make it a habit to put whatever amount I could afford on a separate bank on a monthly basis for rainy days. I just kept in doing this practice then one time I checked my account, I already have like 8k savings! That's a lot for a low-income earner like me who lives on a paycheck to paycheck basis. You just need to have the discipline and right frame of mind to spend wisely. Living in America is hard as opposed to living in the Philippines. We do make choices in life, I chose to live here so these are the implications. Later on, you'll get used to it anyway. Thanks for sharing this video. I can very much relate to it!

Hello po may tanong lang po ako. You don’t have to answer this if you’re uncomfortable. By “low-income earner” how low is it in the USA? As we all know, US has higher standard of living compared to in the Philippines. Again, you don’t have to answer. Thanks.
@@chamachuchi It's ok. Let me give you an overview. Let say you earn an average minimum wage of of $15 per hour, you work 40 hours a week times 4 weeks, that would be around $2,400 per month, Tax will be deducted, SS, etc. Then you pay let say $1,500 for apartment plus utilities, food, car mortgage, health insurance, car insurance. Do you think your monthly salary will suffice. Like everyone else here, you need to get a second job. It's not a bad thing to live here, don't get me wrong. I love living here! Marunong ka lang dapat dumiskarte at mag budget. Eventually, you will get used to it. Tayo pa ba Pinoy eh ang galing natin mag adjust. So there!
@@michaelreyes6146 Thanks for the reply! I’m planning on working in the US, hopefully soon. Nalula ako sa 1500 na apartment. How does it work? Are you paying it for life or is it rent to own?
@@chamachuchi The 1,500 apartment rental is just a standard rate for a studio apartment in LA. And it's just rent and not rent to own. If you can't sustain paying then the landlord can just simply evict you anytime.
Hi po! nadaan po sa youtube niyo very transparent po lahat kaya gustong gusto ko pinapapanuod video ninyo. I'm learning so much from this video lalo na at we are moving to the US . Ang Indiana po ba a good state para mag start?
Hi. Thanks for watching my vlogs. I used to work in Indiana just right across the border of Illinois. What I can say is that its much cheaper there compared to the other states I lived. Naaalala ko dati yung 1 meal nila was only 2 dollars. But that was 11 years ago so Im sure mataas na ngayon. Mababa lng sweldo ng Nurses nila compared to illinois and overall minimum wage nila but I think kung mababa din ang cost of living you will be ok.
Very informative video sir. New subscriber here. Tatanong kolang din sana what if binata pa and pupunta palang ng states and you have to start from scratch? Papaano kaya ang pag bubudget? Like since binata ako i'd get the cheapest apartment etc. Thank you in advance sa sagot. Love your video!
Hello sir. Ganda po content nyo. Ask lang po. May offer kasi sakin work sa Washington. Ang alok is 5k usd monthly. Enough po b yun para maka survive and maka ipon ng pera sa Pinas? TIA!
Last question po kabayan. I need a very good advise kasi. I am a licensed public school teacher dito sa Pinas. Worth it ba na give up ko permanent job ko dito if maka work ako sa U.S. for 5k USD? I am 39 years old and have 3 kids. Pareho kami teacher ng wife ko we earn more than enough naman. And we can save at least 10k pesos a month here.. sana masagot ulit. Salamat po.
@@brosmotorides6170 Tanong ko sau kabayan. Kung pupunta ka dito, mgwworking visa ka ba or immigrant? kasi kung working karamihan sa working visa 2-5 years lng. Kung iiwan mo lahat sa pinas para lng mag work dito ng ganun ka iksi. Hndi worth it pero kung immigrant visa I think worth it kasi makaka balik ka sa pinas anytime tapos pwd ka din bumalik dito. Yan ang straight ko na sagot sayo.
@@pinoylifeabroad3804 if possible na maging immigrant kami ng buong family kabayan i will choose to stay jan sa US. Pero honestly wala ako idea if how possible.. baka nga kasi mag end up lang ako na few years lang dollars ang income tapos balik sa Pinas back to zero. Balak ko plan "B" ako lang resign para si misis regular permanent pa din dito sa Pinas. Para pag balik ko at naka ipon start n ako mag negosyo and then whatever happens may regular income si misis. Meron safety net. Sa 5 years I think makakaipon naman at makakapundar. Salamat kabayan.
@@pinoylifeabroad3804 ah ganun po ba... if halimbawa d mo naabot yung retirement age and u decided to go back in Philippine may ma k claim ka b nun out sa tax n naibyad mo?
@@pinoylifeabroad3804 ah ok, atleast meron din po pala kahit papano..planning to migrate there pero just to work lang po in a number of years still gusto ko p din mamuhay sa pinas while may lakas p at mkpag relax....
titobapRhads channel I dont think theres a law that says you cant separate from your petitioner. I was petitioned by my Mom but I dont live with her anymore. So I hope that answers your question.
house $2100, car insurance $350, cellphone / internet $150, groceries $500, gas $200 ( 4 cars), car payment $200 ( one car the 3 are paid off), utilities electric / water $250, credit card $ $400....household income husband / wife $7000,,,, tama si kabayan ma tight budget dito,,,, walang fun ang life....
After how many years paguwi nila sa pinas at ibenenta na house nila na nahulugan nila there for how many years . Let say 500, thousand na noon ( hindi pa kataasan ito a. iyong iba 1 million na ang price non ) ang house price x 50 pesos per 1 dollar = Tumataginting na 25 million ang pera nila pauwi ng pinas . Paano kaya nila ito uubusin ito e matanda na sila noon ? Ganyan po ang talagang pangyayari na ni isa walang gustong ipaalam sa youtube .
