@@lutherthompson8547 Excellent comment and reply from you guys, I immediately thought of an individual I know a man in great shape for his age trains at his local boxing club, takes his dogs on regular long walks but a few days ago he took a stroke.

[@Paul-McB]

From the same report, middle class Filipino and below make up 92.8% of Filipino household incomes. They range is 9,100-63,700 php per month ($165 - $1,158). Household income is different than individual income. The expat makes about $2,000 individual on social security, so he makes more than 92.8% of the population as an individual. He is considered rich to the Filipinos, because he makes more than the vast majority on his income alone vs Filipino household income.

[@justaguy-69]

i know VERY few expats from usa who get 2000 for social security. most get between $900 and $1400

[@1MinuteFlipDoc]

I think this is more realistic. $3-4K per month is far above average to the typical Filipino.

[@Paul-McB]

@@1MinuteFlipDoc Agreed, I made a chart. Rich - $3,309 is the top 0.6% of income earners in the Philippines.

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

Some immigrants make about $1500 social security, and some of us bring in a good $7,000 (these would be military retirees that also get VA disability, once social security is added, then it is closer to $9,000 a month).

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

Interesting information. And I do love seeing how the people of the Philippines view economic ranges very differently than many other countries. The reality is that many of the immigrants that come here and are seen as rich, are actually poor in their own countries. Which is why so many move here... the low cost of living (and the beautiful morena women)...

Hello Annie dear. I enjoy watching your videos from the locals perspective. Watching expat videos are SO boring because every one of those vloggers make videos of the same thing.

What is considered ultra rich in the Philippines???

Hi Annie, at last a sensible person talking sense on what is needed to live there. Drives me bananas hearing most of the expat clueless vloggers saying we need minimum $2k . Thanks Annie , you are a breath of fresh air, Happy new year to you and your family.

[@51dbail]

Well I do live here. I’m not a clueless expat! If an expat wants a 1/2 Filipino/ 1/2 foreign lifestyle then 2k a month is a start. More is better! I shoot for 2k but it is usually more. That’s with no rent and we own a car and scooter. A lot of foreigner come to live not just survive. And yeah I’m not even close to rich!!

[@cjack202003]

@@51dbail I agree. Minimum 2k, if you want to live and actually enjoy Philippines...not just survive. Example: up to 1k budget for rent, utilities, internet, cellphone service plan...etc. The other 1k or more for groceries, food, going out, exploring Philippines etc. 2k is bare minimum to live not just survive. If you're financially stable and have at least a 2k budget, you can really live and enjoy Philippines, instead of just surviving. The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries to live in...and there's still a lot of broke expats. Smh.

[@mrmadborg]

@@51dbail Everyone has their own standard of living and dreams, some want to live basic and blend in to the culture, others want to spend every paso in their pocket living it up. I have been on many channels like this for many years researching the kind of retirement i want that suits my budget, situation and long term sustainability. I have heard countless monthly household budget from vloggers all over and totally agree with Annie's figures. The Filipina Pea even directly told me a year ago many expats live and quite happy on 1k budget with their filipina. Many will of sold their homes back home and are sitting on a nice nest egg when they need it, in other words, those with a sustainable plan survive those that dont fail.

[@mrmadborg]

@@cjack202003 i disagree, 2k is not minimum by a long way as Annie describes, just because someone is living the way they want is any less happy or content than the other is crazy. Having your own home there would future proof against rent rises for example and having a nest egg to fall back on is needed also. Plenty of options to cut costs in many areas but up to the individual lifestyle you want to lead and can sustainably afford. Sure places like Manila you need 2k but not everywhere, plenty of quiet cheap places to go to live the dream.

[@scott80ca]

​@mrmadborg Maybe before the pandemic you could have got by on under 1k a month. Inflation has also hit the Philippines, and the pocketbooks of many expats. Living under 1k a month is possible for some (like a single guy eating cheap food and renting a small room) but not feasible if you have a family. My budget in the Philippines was more like 1700 a month and thats with 2 little kids and a vehicle. House already paid for so no rent. That's living in the boondocks in the province in Bohol not in a city. If in a city then it's more.

[@justaguy-69]

most foreigners i know are just getting by on social security, there are a few who have a little extra for going out to eat or to buy gifts for christmas , but i have not met any who are rich, rich people dont retire to the philippines they go somewhere with good medical care and no litter and pollution.

It sounds like a good start. Anyway you can invest most of that so you are living off interests or dividends, even partially?

[@Sahrokh]

No, this is the top error people do when coming to the Philippines. You cannot live your full life "just" starting with that amount. Amount that looks big but it's not, unless you are 75+ old today. No, you'll deplete it *FAST* . You need a small source of income too, at least $300 a month, or you'll really end out like many other guys who believed to live their full life on a fixed amount and it got all into unexpected expenses.

Filipina’s that seek older retired Americans should know that the average government pension (Social Security) at age 62. (The earliest age to draw SS) this average pension is $1200 USD per month. This varies by how much that American worked and how much his salary was while he was working. Some Americans get additional benefits for being disabled but keep in mind a man that is disabled does come to the Philippines with medical or mental health problems. They can most certainly get the medications but they should also have a doctor that they follow up with to manage their problems. Great video about the Philippines!

You need to understand Philippine culture. When you marry a Filipina, you marry the family. you can disagree all you want...but if you dont consider the family it will never end well. And it will end..trust me. This doesnt mean that when you marry a Filipina the family starts forwarding their monthly bills to you, it means you are expected to consider the family, their needs and contribute a little to help out now and then. It is something YOU control. My wifes family never makes me feel like I must do anything, but I do, as I know it is important to my wife, and that makes it important to me. Embrace it.

Dude, there’s no way around it, you’re going to have to come up with a way to cold approach the women you actually want, who seem high class. The next time you’re at the bank, or a hospital, etc., you’re going to have to walk right up to that high class looking Filipina and let her know you’re interested. You’re going to have to just assume because you’re American, and hopefully at least decent looking, she’ll be happy you approached her. You may not get the first one, but by the time you get to girl number 15, you should have someone willing to go on a date with you. keep in mind, you are rich to them, and unless you’re hideous, I don’t see how 15 different women, anywhere in the world, are going to turn down having dinner with a rich man. Just make sure the women you’re approaching are the ones you actually desire, with no exception. You’ll eventually get the girl. You just have to deal with a little bit of risk of embarrassment when it comes to the initial approach. Who cares? You’ve let being shy affect you your entire life in the United States, don’t bring that self limiting nonsense overseas where you have all the advantages! One thing I would suggest to make, approaching a little easier, as well as less embarrassing on the Filipina you’re approaching, is to get you some business cards with your name, email address, Instagram handle, etc. on them . This way, you can quietly slip your card to the bank teller, or the nurse drawing your blood, without her coworkers noticing. It’s also easier to just slide a girl a card, with a quick compliment, rather than standing there trying to give a spill for two minutes. Just try to make sure the business card actually seems like it was designed for a business, not a card made specifically to give to women. Lol. You’re not trying to come across like a player player. Lastly, depending on your circumstances, and your physical attributes, you may have to do what I call reasonable settling. If you’re 60 years old, with a noticeable potbelly, it may be a difficult struggle to get 19-year-olds who look like Instagram models. You may have to reasonably settle for the very pretty 35-year-old. You might really want a Filipina doctor, but you might have to reasonably settle for a nurse supervisor. You might really want that Filipina that looks like an Asian Marilyn Monroe, but you might have to reasonably settle for the girl that looks like an Asian Audrey Hepburn. Don’t totally abandon your standards, just tailor them to fit your current realities, and to dial back the difficulty level a bit.

In the US, $4,000 / month is middle class. Here, its rich. You can live better on $X in PH than in the US ... But not that much better. Housing and medical care here are very cheap. Most other things roughly the same. I live quite comfortably on my American pension. But "rich" is relative. I know I'm a lot better off than the average filipino.

[@DearANNIE28]

It’s great you’re able to live comfortably, but it’s true that the cost of other things can still be similar to the US have higher tax. thank you for watching🥰

Yeah you might be Looks like living the high life! In the Philippines, you’re practically a billionaire!

[@johnnyg7899]

When I was visiting the Philippines I was surprised to see many high end stores like "Prada"; "Black and White"; "Luis Vuitton"; and "Dior" among others. I even saw a dress for sale at the SM mall in Bacolod for $7k (U.S.). So I wondered who were the wealthy buyers existing there. Lots of poverty exists yet extremely wealthy secret shoppers are moving there.

[@DearANNIE28]

yeah lots of wealthy people here thanks

If you are a foreigner with an income of $2500.00 dollars monthly but is assigned the Cano prices whilst living in the Philippines 🇵🇭. You are experiencing the middle class or lower due to your ignorance of real pricing in the Philippines. So until you figured out what the real prices are then you can experience a higher levels of standards of living there. If you choose to live and adopt the Native Philippino foodstuffs.. You will save even more money and retain more of your wealth and affluence by growing your savings. And reinvest your money into building a business or developing property. And grow your nes tegg
