The Philippines has some of the lowest labour costs in the world. It costs very little to hire someone to batch cook and clean every other day, and saves a massive amount of time. Having a personal chef makes it more likely that you will eat healthy food because it's sitting in the fridge, rather than indulging on a snack. I recommend giving it a try by having someone come for a full day once per week, doing a deep clean, washing and ironing sheets and other laundry, chopping of onions potatoes vegetables and some food prep for a meal or two. If she is smart enough to cook at the same time she cleans, let her go early with a full day's pay and remember to let her enjoy some of the food she cooked. You can find someone by going to a nearby church and asking the Padre if there is an honest lady in need of a day of work per week to help supplement her family.

@@WilliamFluery Hard to avoid the industrial seed oils when eating out. I just get domestic help to cook their cultural dishes the way they were before industrial seed oils by getting the right ingredients and having a list of instructions and recipes for them. Most people can read English recipe instructions (but you can also use a translation tool). The idea is to get them to batch cook at least two meals while you're there, with enough leftovers for a couple days afterward. Most Asian meals just require a rice cooker with hot rice and then reheating the main course, so having help come Sunday and Wednesday could probably sustain most people with zero cooking needed.

Not all electronics draw power just by being plugged in. Usually something with a charger will draw. Things with LED lights, clocks, or transformer/capacitor set up ( internal or external) may draw but it is nearly negligible. The real savings is what Dan said but they moved on from was protection from " power surges". I have power strips and kill power to almost everything when it storms or when I sleep.
@mikesweeney5367 10 ай бұрын
Unless you are buying the very expensive power strips with very high jewel number they are worthless. UPS system is the way to protect your electronics. In the US you can buy from 60-100 . Not sure the price there. They last for about 2-3 yrs then tou replace the batteries inside which is very easy to do

Siquijor is a more relaxed island all around. Nowhere near as many vendors trying to sell you something other than at the port basically. San Juan is a smallish town but has most everything one would need to live...more or less. Get Wrecked is a great sports bar run by Nathan, an Aussie, and has a large menu full of good food and it is right on the water. One of my friends is thinking about moving here to Siquijor given its laid back chill, mountains and various nature outings to take in. Robert is definitely on the cheaper side of living in the PI but it can be done without much work if one is willing to live simply and doesn't need a lot of material stuff. This budget that he has himself on does not have to be an exception by any means. It would be harder to live on this budget in some of the more populated areas however...

I am in my late sixties and I live in south Louisiana I got the Humana gold plan which was totally free and it includes everything including the medication plan and other things I do not even understand.. the plans vary by price and if they are free or not depending on the area you live in America.. I was told by a older friend I better sign up during the sign up period because if I did not I would be charged a penalty fee later on to sign up that nobody can really afford.. it is a another trick bag from the American government that you will get put into if you do not pay attention..😮😮😊😊

Not sure which part you asked about. I was talking about medicare benefits. You are required to have a drug plan. Even if you live outside the country or you will pay a penalty when you move back to the US. This is true for medicare private plans available to you as well. I know. I had to when I was forced to return to America during the bsdemic. I can't say for every medication but the generic meds I take are all more expensive in the Philippines.

These interviews are great, but I can’t help wondering what are these guys back stories who come to a place like The Philippines at a late stage of life. What were they doing for the first few decades of their lives ? Just saying…
@stevenhull5025 10 ай бұрын
They come to the Philippines late in life because of affordability. You try living on 2000 bucks a month in the States. The rent alone is at least 1200 of that.

Dan, are local e-sims available in any of the East Asian countries? I got a new phone and there is no slot for a regular sim. The e-sims I am finding online are way more expensive than any local plan.
@VagabondAwake 11 ай бұрын
Buy a cheap android with a sim slot and use it as a hot spot for your nazi phone (or throw it away). e-sims are too expensive for me. :-) .

I am going to buy a phone especially for the Philippines with two SIM cards.. my sister took me to the Apple store and was going to give me a fancy Apple phone that did not have a SIM card.. I told her I wanted a SIM card so instead of getting the latest Apple phone I got a iPhone 13 with a SIM card. Do not know anything about technology but I think I could manage better with a SIM card.. these phone companies are trying to put us in the trick bag😅😅😮😮😊😊 I am in my late sixties and I think I have already been tricked enough during my lifetime to last me the rest of my lifetime..hehe😮😮😊😊

That's too bad. I'm still a few years away from traveling. Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be better options by then. If not, then I'll figure something out. Thanks for your responses.

Though more expensive, you can assign your American courier to the esim slot without the plastic sim card instantly. The remaining sim card slot to smart or globe.
