Hi Matt and family.....personally i like your vlogs and the reason being that it's no big intros and annoying tunes in the background and selling merchandise and support me on patreon. Also i enjoy the down to earth style and humour. Good luck with growing your channel and looking forward to some starship adventures.

I envy you your life maybe I should sell up and head over to Phil permanently. My only concern is that at 73 years of age with some minor health issues I like to be around good medical facilities. Anyway my wife and I are planning to rebuild her house in Boljoon Cebu soon so when that is done we may just spend more time there.

(Alaska??? 🙂). Best wishes - and many more happy years.

Well you should include unexpected expenses every month no matter what. Include it as a monthly expense. Like thiving, repairs , health, etc. So you monthly expense as family varies month to month.

I'm really enjoying your channel. I just discovered it and I'm watching a lot of your videos ever since. Thank you for sharing!

[@IslaPamilya]

I used to spend about 16k a month on a big house including bills now I spend 6k on a tiny house including bills. The budget hasn't changed it's still 50k so we spend 10k more on living than a year ago. I will do a vlog on this topic in some time. I will also do a new vlog on current food prices. Sometimes we have brown outs but it's not very inconvenient, the internet has recently been fiber optic and it's fine.

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

@@IslaPamilya Thank you Matt! I'm 63 but not retired. I'm not married, I live alone, but I have a kid I have to send to college soon. I was wondering if I could work remote via the Internet from the Philippines to lower my overhead. What do you think? Is it possible to do that in your area? I guess I could buy a generator or solar for the brown outs as long as the fiber is reliable. Or does the Internet go down with the power?

[@homebasebelgium359]

Since you have two children, have you ever considered buying a car? It would be a lot safer than the motorbike. How much do you think it would increase your monthly expenses?

Yes Sir! We have even separate playlist with our 4 wheels: kzbin.info/aero/PL7aq9udzyzAE_Ge9s1ALmLrqNClaJ-hzK As for the expenses it will be few thousands more (fuel, insurance, maintenance) We spent a lot on fixing it, so hopefully now we'll just use it without any major surprises for quite some time.

Can you grow regular potatoes in Philippines?

[@IslaPamilya]

I don't know about that

[@roccohagedorn3110]

Yes I do have a question. Since 800 dollars doesn’t sound all that much, considering it is for a family of 4. It all depends of course on the income you guys have per month. So my question is: what do you guys do for a living and how much is your monthly income ? I know it is a very personal question and I understand if you don’t necessarily want to answer my question in all detail. But a rough number would put a realistic understanding to your viewers.

[@IslaPamilya]

I have some online job in Poland, but since the pandemic started my income drops down around 60-70% Thats what i can share with You ;)

@@IslaPamilya I hear you. I guess pretty much everyone has been affected by this stupid pandemic. Although I’m living in Canada, I was actually born in East Germany, and the news I’m hearing, coming from Europe these days, are not very assuring that this whole thing is gonna be over with soon. Even though it seems the rest of the world is dropping their Covid numbers, Europes cases are lately increasing again. I hope for all of us that this crap is gonna be over and done with soon, as I myself was hoping to travel to the Philippines for the last 2 years now.
