My Cost Of Living In The Philippines As An American | 2024 | Cebu

My Cost Of Living In The Philippines as An American.
This is what i spend in a month living in the Philippines an american.
How much does it cost to live in the philippines per month in 2024?
Lots of people from around the world are moving to the philippines for a cheaper lifestyle. But is it really that cheap?
This is how much I spend a month living in the Philippines as an american expat. Prices are rising little by little but as long as you budget right, you can live a nice lifestyle of your choosing.
Hopefully this helps you out if you’re interested in living here long term as well. 🏝️

I live in Dasmarinas, Me and my wife own our home so my expenses are around the 600 dollar range a month, Most is that is for my Liquour and beer.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. Do you have a hospital set up yet? My son was born at UCmed. It cost about $2k back in 2020. It was a C section, what made it cost as much. Good luck

[@CoMi000]

Thanks! We were able to find a very nice hospital that does natural deliveries for about just around $600 actually. The price has risen to about $3000-$4000 for C sections though.

[@CaliforniaBear619]

@@CoMi000 yeah my son's mother said it would cost $800. Just be aware of the total possible cost, the process of procedures, and also about how the red cross works with possible blood transfers. I was warned and heard horrible stories from other expats. I have my own story, but our son and mother pulled through. Again best of luck to a healthy birth and mother.

[@CoMi000]

⁠@@CaliforniaBear619Thanks for the heads up. The total cost is around $600 for us. Most Filipinos I know say they even pay as low as $100 though those are in public hospitals.

[@Spinnaker79]

​​@@CoMi000ask her doctor, or hospitals if they have package. Its a lot cheaper. It includes stay in the hospital for 2 days, doc and anaethesiologist fees. You dont have to think abt other things, and other charges

[@nikumimito3164]

Congrats on starting a fam bro. $700/month is a good budget, I've seen a lot of different videos from people saying $1k is possible but $1500 is what you need for a decent life there. How do you currently make your income or are you living on just savings for the time being? I'm 38 without much savings but I just started maxing out my retirement accounts the past year now so saving aggressively because I plan to exit the work force early and head over before I reach my 50s.

[@CoMi000]

Thanks bro I always appreciate your comments! Yeah $700-800 is doable with just me and my girl with a little extra to spare for leisure and shopee(Philippines amazon). Though I’ll make an updated video soon now that my son is born since the budget increased for sure. I do a little bit of trading here and there. Enough gains to cover my expenses and enough to pile up in my savings. You’re on the right path bro. Anytime before 50 and you’ll enjoy yourself a lot more. Take care bro ✌🏾

[@AndyMitch-ec5iy]

Great video bro ! I am contemplating moving to Cebu city myself so I appreciate all this great info. How is the internet speed there ? May seem like an odd question but peeps have mentioned it on Reddit etc. Just curious to know if it is good/fast. Thanks

[@CoMi000]

Thanks bro! Regarding internet, you can get Pldt or Skycabke Wifi here during your stay. Avoid the Globe at home wifi at all cost and you’ll be good with one of the other two 👌🏾 They’re a decent speed.

[@AndyMitch-ec5iy]

@@CoMi000 Thanks bro. Congrats on the baby also !

[@bigbearhugebear9018]

I think a 26 meter condo is a shoe box.I couldn't do it..

[@CoryResilient]

In Canada BC. I used to just travel with my hammock for the entire summer and sleep outside no rent ! But I had a blast and I saved so much money and enjoyed my summer. Why can't one come out there and do the same? Pitch a hammock between 2 trees each night save the 400 a month and spend that on the actual experience?

[@curtssallee9807]

Thats whats up fam.....nothn but love

[@CoMi000]

Thanks bro I appreciate you ✌🏾

[@davidssunstar]

Youp..thats the life I like.

[@ashleysesay8148]

So this cost of living is excluding the rent because you bought? And by condo expenses, is that including water/electricity bills?

[@CoMi000]

Absolutely 👍

[@ashleysesay8148]

@@CoMi000 Awesome!! Thanks for confirming :)

[@KB3TLE]

I'm old and alone = no ''partner'' -- confused by food bill ? - - - So if I paid rent & subtracted a woman's food bill -- about $1000 should do it ? --- Or - did I miss something ? Health costs are more - but - if I budgeted $1500 - or so - I should be able to save some for emergencies ???

[@CoMi000]

Precisely! Especially if solo it’s a lot easier. Expenses have gone up now that I have a child so I may make an updated cost of living video in the future. You’ll be more than fine with that amount though.

That sounds really great. Does your $760 expense include food and grocery costs for 2 people or just for you? Because obviously you live there with your girlfriend

[@CoMi000]

Yes, it’s the cost for both of us 👌🏾

[@The_BGGJ1_Network]

I usually use grab here I find that it is a bit cheaper and they always have deals!

Yeah there’s some good deals on grab especially in the early and late hours. Are you still in Cebu?

Do you have an estimate for your utilities, especially electricity?

[@michaeljakeusman]

start paying those philhealths early. could save you alot like the pregnancy.

[@CoMi000]

Wish I knew about that sooner but I was lucky enough to find a nice doctor for about $600 so it’s all good. A lot cheaper than I expected tbh.

[@coltonbriggs71]

Damn, I have to part ways with my constantly nagging wife and head over there, bruh. I need to reduce my stress. Sooner or later I’m gonna have a heart attack

I feel you bro. Come on over and take it easy ✌🏾

[@Stardust242]

what if i get a tourist visa and go get a job there is that possible ?

[@CoMi000]

You’ll need a Work Visa and an Alien Employment Permit to start working here bro.

Bronado what do you do for work? Tech?

[@CoMi000]

A few investments and I trade some stocks here and there.

[@amazonseller-yf8vv]

Sounds fantastic, but if you've got it so good why you planning to leave, why you be saying it's your last day there???

[@CoMi000]

My last day? I’ll be here for a long while bro. It’s cool to make a few cheap investments out here for sure. I do eventually want to return to the states for a while too though with my lady and child.

[@amazonseller-yf8vv]

@@CoMi000 I was confused because at 0:28 it said "Dawn of the final day, 24 hours remaining" so I figured that meant you're leaving in 24 hours. But anyway glad things are working out so well, have fun and keep up the good work.

Damn near $3000 or more a month for sure in Los Angeles CA in a studio apartment.
