My husband and I has a retirement home in Davao del Norte, Samal to be specific which is in Mindanao. We are happy and feel safe there. 1500 USD per month will do if you own your place. Good luck in your retirement.

Wow for just $650 a month Expenses and you own a house,SUV and a farm that's amazing. I have a Questions a friend of mine from the PHILIPPINES send me this monthly Expenses : $ 500 - Simple life in the Province 1,000 - Small town / City 1,500 - Medium 1st Class size city. 2,000 - Cebu/Davao 2,500 - Manila 3,000 - Makati/BGC/ Ortigas CBD Can you give a comment on the accuracy of this Expenses because will used it as a reference when we finally settle and lived in the PHILIPPINES...Tnx Tim God blessed ❤🇨🇦🇵🇭

[@TimKyoutube]

The province is more expensive if you want a western style life. If you can live on filipino food and small town lifestyle then you may be accurate. I personally would not live in the areas you have at the budgets you have but it is possible.

[@mr_neil_vlog]

if this budget is for only 2 persons, this is possible. The trick is live like a Filipino.

It takes a special type of foreigner to live the province life. It looks good, but most people i know that have tried it go stir crazy. They almost always head back to the cities. If you want this kind of thing, pay a bit more and do it close to a city. Best of both worlds.

I would like to see that other farm or land for sell

why not use the car??

Can foreigners outright own land in the Philippines? Or is it more of a lease, and would they need to find a local citizen to be on that lease? Also, do farmers make a comfortable living there?

[@romeodeguzman9041]

Foreigners cannot own land in the Philippines and for good reason. Otherwise, china can buy all the land, and they will. But you can lease it in your name for 50 years and renewable for another 50 years... that's like owning the land, din't you think?

[@gumacanian4211]

Only thing is you can't lease from a spouse.

[@NothingButSilicone]

@@romeodeguzman9041 Meh, not the same as outright owning it, but I’d be game. Totally get understand why. I don’t want China buying up everything, and they certainly would. Nothing worse than visiting a small wine vineyard in France and seeing a Chinese dragon in the lobby.

Every youtuber gives a different amount that you need to live each month in Philippines who is accurate

[@Snowwie88]

One thing I don't understand, even though he says they own most of the stuff and that's why the monthly pay is so low, still, the money has to come from somewhere. So he said, he rather not be in Australia working, but he also does not appear to be a retired person either. So, yeah, backup is important, but what would be the best backup? I assume no single Western guy who is going to life in The Philippines is going to take a regular low paid Filipino job. So I wonder.

Always enjoy your videos! It just came to my mind to share that in my case and personal experience, though not religious, being a practitioner of Buddhism allows for sooooo much enjoyment in life on the bare minimum budget...by choice, not force. In other words, no fast/junk food, no alcohol, no drugs, no smoke (treating the body as "Gods temple") tends to equal plenty of money to do whatever you desire, wherever you live be it here in Wisconsin or there in Philippines. To top it off, love making is so much better, health excels, appreciation of nature and humankind abounds, living in the moment become easy, being aware is clear, there's lots more money, thoughtfulness, clear headedness and the like. Anyway, when there is a will, there is a way and cutting the junk often leads to enjoying a life few ever will doing so on less, even when you have more. All The Best from Wisconsin! Todd

Do you also live in the same town? I live in the US now but was born and raised in the Philippines. Being practical and thrifty are two important factors in surviving the Philippines. Living out in the country gives you more bang for your buck. Most Filipinos are kind, caring, courteus and educated. They would even treat you like family once you have earned their trust. I hope you find happiness living there.
