Thanks, I made a mistake with my PHP AUD currently where I am I using $USD and the local currency RIEL, sometimes I am to lazy to think it out properly! At the current exchange rate I am looking at and would feel financially very comfortable at around 70k or 80k php per month from what you have said that would be ok. . I cant slum it I think its against my nature. If i had to I would go back home.Thanks again any advice is welcome your a champion.

You know nothing of our situation and yet you've decided to judge based on no knowledge or information at all. I'm not even going to clarify since you seem to know it all already and decided to bring everyone else down to your level of what quite simply appears to be bitterness and unhappiness - well based on your posts so far anyway. Or is this a troll? He redeemed himself on the remark about "the branded phone."! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna miss This. Literally our back yard past weekend while I was working back there. Came about 5 feet from me; so, I backed off since he's rutting. Then he left and a slightly younger buck showed up, leaner and beautiful. Figured I'd see a fight later, but instead the older one returned and was pursuing a female in the yard, who as playing hard to get! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sonjack2847 Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 1, 2020 WOW just WOW, I suggest a lot of people go and buy new shirts as there seems to be a lot of backstabbing and jibes going on about other posters point of view. Just because somebody has a different point of view is no reason to be nasty. Why did I settle in the Philippines well long story short my wife hid my passport. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinJJ Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I found it to be a good mix of friendly and affordable, particularly when compared to the places in Europe I'd been looking at before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Snowy79 Posted February 15, 2021 Popular Post Posted February 15, 2021 Five years down the line and having assessed my priorities I can say that for me it is the cost of living 100% followed by quality of life. I'll admit I have had to move 3 times to maintain a fine balance between quality of life and cost though. A good reason why no one should travel half way around the World and set roots in one location for one person until they've experienced life here. Initially the lure of sunshine, pretty women and friendliness of the locals was a major attraction but time and experience has blown a few of my priorities out of the water. I came to realise I like my own company more than a pretty face that just seams to attract drama and I'm smart enough to know the difference between attraction and financial security. The locals on a whole are still pretty friendly but no more so than back home in Scotland and the bureaucracy is 100% worse. As I say it's taken 3 moves to settle having experienced the dramas of relationships and insane Filipino jealousy and chismis. Locals that are friendly as they are after something in return and constant White nose tax. Perks of where I chose I suppose and I'm sure not all areas are the same or locals. So as a bit of a loner who is happy jogging along a great beach and swimming, eating at home most days, pretty self sufficient and so far in good health I've finally found a location where I can be happy, more so than back in the West where I'd still be working myself to the bone. Ask me again if my health takes a turn for the worst. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghzop Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Where ever you choose to live, there are going to be sets of trade-offs. The question for you is, what sort of a problem set will you settle for and adapt to, and what set of positives makes it more worth staying there despite the shortcomings than your other options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
