WHAT MAKES YOU POOR OR RICH IN THE PHILIPPINES (HOUSEHOLD INCOME RANGES) 

Thank you John. You are the first person to ever call me rich. Maybe someday I'll make the move.

For the most part, our happiness is tied to our faith in God. Almost all sorts of natural calamities visit us often and in the face of those, no amount of money can save you, only God.

Is that income earned inside the Philippines not abroad? If I am based abroad my salary bracket is rich but if I work in the Philippines I'll be in low income to middle class

In USA they said I am poor because earn $5000/mo. In the Phillippines they said I am rich because I have $5000/mo

John, you have a trusted station without all the dram! Thanks.

Very informative. Thank you.

Great information!

70k to 90k php you will live a comftable life here. you can go for a vacation and enjoy weekly outing. as long as you know how to use money. and not let money use you

Very good information. Thank you.

would have been nice to see the population percentages of each economic class, but thanks for sharing.

According to your calculations, I am pretty rich! My wife and I own around USD1M in property, both commercial and residential. We don't have a mortgage on any of the properties, because we own them outright. We have an income of around PP100,000 pcm. My advice? Come here with cash and with someone you trust.

Just read from another vlogger that the average net income of an expat is $46k. Thats huge!!

This might be true according to statistics but for locals if you live in a condo or own a private car you are considered rich

I'm sure Filipinos would consider anyone making over P100k a month rich.

PH is heaven on earth for rich Filipinos only & not for foreigners to settle invest & retire foreigners in PH can't own properties full business ownership have very limited rights & many are deported foreigners can be naturalized PH citizens if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not your case John

Is 3,000 USD enough if you have only 1 child college student in silliman university? Family of 3 renting in condo in duma city. Thank you

I really thought that having less than 150k income is middle class and not upper middle.

Are those incomes before or after taxes?

First time I ever been called rich.

I think I’m very rich because I have my health.

I'm confused. I thought middle class by definition would be the median and would always consist the majority of the population.

nice video but is this income based on gross or net pay from work?

Are these numbers pre-Tax or post-Tax please?

What happened to Marco?

I’d rather be middle class in the USA, than rich in third world countries….

I hear the poor thing all the time here and I see it too. But the mall will be 1/2 full mid day mid week. By mid day all the fast food places will have waiting lines to order so they’re not just walking around. Weekends malls are just crazy busy. Where do they get the money to do this? If you stand on a busy street and count the number of 2 million + php vehicles that pass by in 15min you will be amazed. It just doesn’t add up?

❤❤❤😊😊

We Filipinos were ediots we're one day millionaires😂haha!

Poor here is if you dont have your own house and a car 😂

2024 still poor 🤣🤣🤣

Philippine standards of living has been low for so long that the locals are used to their low standards of life. In reality, they can achieve and have more but the lack of discipline, unity, education, and opportunities….along with overpopulation issue and lack of family control, this country will lag behind all ASEAN nations. Vietnam is already ahead…..case closed!
