The way you two look at each other and interact, really shows how much love there is.

[@mikewright9637]

You are living a good life and are happy. Life is good.

[@philippinefamilylifewithle2673]

Thank you.

[@greggwoodcox2167]

Every time the amount went up, Leah looks so serious. HeHe. Gary, so just living a normal life doing normal things, makes you look very rich to most Filipina's. 2k a month is still very cheap for a family of 4. The smiles from Leah and the children are sure enough priceless brother. God Bless

[@lez075]

The problem is making 2k a month while also being able to live full time in the Philippines.

[@smallnuts2]

​@lez075 I think only way is to have a retirement from another country like the US. Because I would think since it's cheaper there, pay is as well.

[@williamhill2987]

Thank you!

[@BarryFerguson33]

You guys are a great couple. God has blessed the two of you very much. When I get there in a few months, I’ll be living in Cebu City with my girlfriend. I’ve budgeted around $2K-2500 a month and we should live very comfortably. When I told my girlfriend how much I have to spend she couldn’t believe the figure. She’s never seen that kind of money but she’s a great girl and we should do reasonably well on our budget. I like when you and the other vloggers do these budget videos because it allows me to be fully prepared for any eventualities that may come so I can know about how much to spend on things. Thanks for the information and take care both you and your by kids.

[@philippinefamilylifewithle2673]

Thank you for watching!

[@AmericaManFilipinoWife]

Don't spend that kind of money here, your asking for trouble trust me. You can live comfortably on $1500 a month we live on a $1000 a month and beer and cigs account for about half of that. We don't have any rent to pay because my wife owns a farm here. Again don't let people know you have money unless you want to spend your days having people try to nickel and dime you to death. Best of luck to you, I love being retired in the Philippines we're in the provinces though I don't like cities.

[@key39762]

I could do without the coffee. but can't do without aircon. so for me add another 200 USD to the electric bill. thanks for the video

Thankful for you sharing your $ numbers. I found it interesting- since I have seen your home and shopping adventures

I love doing it also by hands haha specially now we don't have water we will do laundry in the river mas masaya haha

Nice interview Leah. You both look very happy. I hope you are doing something nice for yourself with the money you are making from KZbin because you are putting a lot of work in and you deserve it.

[@kadachiman7234]

My expenditure in the Philippines is 130,000 php per month (but this also includes some mandatory banking on her side, at my request) so your family is doing ok. One thing I did do though was to ask my partner to write down everything she bought in columns of expenditure so that she could visualize what we spend.....it has amazed her. Example - tikes are expensive where I live compared to most of Philippines, but she would often go to the shop to get this or get that and not consider the trike costs as part of the actual cost of getting those items, since writing everything down she has backed off the trike trips a lot as she just didn't realize the real cost of getting those items. It has also assisted her with budgeting which as we all know is not a strong point in the Philippines.

That's a very small amount of money for a family of 4 to live on in American standards. It just can't be done in America in my opinion. Thank you for sharing. Finances and medical things are very personal but I would have been interested in knowing how much the Gracie medical emergency cost you. That would be important for foreigners to know for getting medical insurance and/or having an acceptable sized emergency fund. Again, thanks for being willing to share as much as you did.

Gary is right about rent prices. I live in so cal, and a one bedroom apartment would be around $2,500 - 3,000 for a solid one. 👍

[@alexlong3714]

It's good to have a budget, that is the only way to success. Spend only, with money you have. ie live within your mean, the only way. And keep a saving for raining days, for emergency expenses.

[@jazztheglass6139]

Most couples in the UK would factor in alcohol in the monthly budget, probably about £150 a month

[@sizzykelly]

Laki ng tawa mo Leah hehe, your expenses are similar to us when we were living in negros oriental

[@oncall21]

Leah and Gary you tow are awesome! I'm so glad I subscribed and thank you for doing a great vlog on budget! I'm 55 and from Australia and I will be going to Dumaergete in January 2023 to basically have a look around and see if it somewhere that I could retire on. Many thanks guys and thanks for sharing!

[@SouthernDrinkSlinger]

Gary, you're living my dream brotha! Leah seems perfect. All of these American men, Philippine women videos I watch all seem to have the same thing in common. Caring, submissive, appreciative to just name a few. Dating here is the total opposite. At 39, feel like I have time to make it happen, hopefully by 42. My question would be on the temperature & air conditioning?

[@stevesmith1127]

That is not bad, around 1500. USD a month!! It looks like I could live a good life over there. The cola for next year should be around 8% and my Navy retirement. She might buy more cloths but its not because she is out growing the cloths and they will last!!

[@sachaeugene9203]

Great video not bad for 4 ppl

[@hunnyarie]

Yup our plan was to retire there but when we have kids. We want the best for them. I'm still planning. They can go to a private school there. Hopefully.

[@sebastian_philippinen]

200 Dollar a month was enough for me. Including visa extensions. I did that for 3 years. Doesn't matter if alone or as a couple.

[@Hybridflip-eg5hg]

Gary is now curious as to how much you make through KZbin. Hey, it’s your money Leah. Advice, do put away some of your earnings aside for emergency purpose i.e. medical. People could ultimately go broke on one episode where a family member is hospitalized for a long period of time and the cost associated is astronomically high. $1,350.00 is not bad for your family’s standard way of living. Take care.

[@billyjohnson9166]

Well, what your video showed me is that I should be living rather comfortably in the Philippines. If you guys manage to live well with 4 people on less than 100.000 pesos a month, I should definitely be okay, as I’m paying currently as followed: Rent for a 1 bedroom: $1800 Food per month. : $2000 Truck. : $ 500 Insurance, property taxes, Medication, bills like internet, Hydro, utilities, etc. : $2500 Entertainment: : $. 500 Total per month at least $7000 And yes, that’s for a single person living an average lifestyle

[@roccohagedorn3110]

If you can't afford to go to the coffee shop you shouldn't come to the Philippines if you don't have enough money to be in the Philippines and enjoy life you might as well go home sorry but that is my opinion

You’re coming across as a very judgemental Christian. It’s ok to have an opinion but it’s not always necessary to voice it 🤷‍♂️

[@kuya.Ian63]

its all well and good if you have so much money that you don't really care what you do with it. Guys, I have built a 2 storey house which means we pay no rent. you mentioned you pay 12k rent for your house. where do you live? House rental fees here in my area vary from 5k for a small house and 10k for a very large house. We have hot water in the shower and split inverter aircon in the bedroom, we live more comfortable than almost anyone in our subdivision. I eat almost the same as i would in Europe and my wife eats the typical meals for a Filipino. water is 291 a month, electric 2500 a month, gas 800 every 2 months. Anyway.....our monthly budget is around 27-30K no problem and we do really live a comfortable life. your budget 80k to 100k a month, WOW !!!!!

[@bookemdanopinay7427]

Being Christian I would never have my wife show off her body like that in Tick Tock videos or just videos. That is not Christian to me I'm sorry to flaunt her body in front of other people sorry buddy but that's not Christian I know you need the money on KZbin but please
