My 77yr old dad lived out in the province in Malolos north of Manila on $740 a month, it can be done easy in the province. He did have a 13a and wife whom was 58. Sadly he passed away in Sept from Covid. He was military Vet who was in Vietnam and even though he did not try for disability, His wife is now getting $1300 a month for life for survivor benefit's.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@kylestanley sorry for your loss. Was he buried at the American cemetary in old Clark air force base ? Us US veterans can be buried there free
That's It! Dude is 72 and she is 26...stop hating on this guy and give him his props. Enjoying that Life before checking out. Having a form of right relationship is the critical key to longevity and too many U.S. men have either opted out or been beaten down and defeated. Too many older men in the U.S. hate on their brothers instead of sharing information and helping each other out. In the end its all the same for MANY...this guy got divorced, faulty or not, and found a way to make it work for himself instead of being defeated by the system. Good luck and thanks for posting.
Exactly. 35-year-old Western women will hate on her and him for being happy and smiling and living a great life. All while saying where have all the good men gone? Meanwhile she thinks it is unthinkable for a woman to ever serve her husband or children.
Well said and I totally agree!
I hope old Randy snuffs it on the job. What a fitting ending for a guy such as him, lol
@M J did you meet them on the street or on a dating site
@M J I'm going to do an 18 month trip around the world from 2023 and I want to spend 3 months in the philippines. My goal is to go to Davao, Cagayan de oro, and Zamboanga and I'm going to see what's up over there
600USD per month is like about 2.5 times the minimum wage. Definitely livable at least in the Philippines.
I have a wife in the Philippines now when you can get apartments at less than $200 a month I'm not impressed by that try paying 350 a month getting a $112 a week like I did $600 a month budget I'm not impressed by that in the Philippines ..I've been to the Philippines over 5 times have a wife and son in iligan city thats easy for a man that's lived like me I make 550 a week now I was living like a king every time I went there and spent almost 6 months every time which was a difference from 112 a week Putting aside a little over $75 just to make $350 a month rent try doing that for a all utilities included studio for 350 a month
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Nuryana Panaligan! Have a great day! Dan
For some Filipinoes like me sometimes u need to leave the Philippines for a while to appreciate the beauty and how easy lifestyle in the Philippines is.
Thank you for the wise thought Fil-Am Random Videos. This channel is all about new ways of looking at things differently. Sometimes we need to get away and look back for a few years before we know how good we had it. Plus, comments, subscriptions, and likes, cause RUclips to grow our channel which also grows our income. So, thank you, :-) Dan
@@VagabondAwake glad to help:)
interesting to note, my wife and I considered the possibility of having to bring my mother with us when we moved to the Philippines to enjoy her last days--she was suffering from dementia at the time, was in poor health, and funds for her grouphome care were diminishing quickly. Had she not passed when she did, an option would have been bringing her with us to the Philippines to live out her days...similar to Randy's approach. She wouldn't be returning to the States again, and would be buried and interred here. But...it was just a thought...
I totally get it. Why hemorrhage $ in the USA when you can pay for good help in your own home in the Philippines?
@@VagabondAwake precisely amundo!
I will spend my retiremenr in the philippines for sure!
Great interview, it’s encouraging to see how Randy and Kyle are able to live comfortably and safely on their budget, The Philippines is definitely on my radar and I plan to visit just as soon as the country opens back up to tourists.
Good luck to Randy and Kyle, keep making it work and taking care of each other.
as long as you're not a whiner on little things & not a picky eater like this guy then you can live cheaply in my country ...... to be honest, philippines is a very welcoming country compare to some other asian countries & it's a big reason why a lot of foreigners are living in the philippines ...... anyway,my advice to you is,explore the country 1st before moving & see what island suits to your lifestyle ...... good luck to you !!!!!!!!
If pandemic will gone soon try to visit phils.its a cheapest place to visit .many beaitiful places to explore
Good choice, , ,find place not typhoon prone
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have enjoyed this video beyond words. Randy is one fine man and I will watch this video every day and recommend to others. I have a mind set just like Randy and only buy what I need. Less is more. I had a very beautiful airplane that was on the cover of a national magazine and do not miss it one bit. What a burden that was. Randy is my kind of man. This video put many things in perspective. Thanks so much Dan and Qiang.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ah. How did I miss this? I’m delighted to see this update. Great to see how your previous interviewers are getting on ❤️❤️❤️
More to come!
Amazing. I swear I want to be living that dream in a couple years. Have to finish preparing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Randy is so amazing . He is a brave man . He knows how to live normally like a an ordinary pilipino . God bless you Randy . Have a long life & enjoy your stayed here in the Philippines.
Well said
he's so amazing... living with a girl wich is 3 times younger.... 👌
Summary: Living in a scrub with a 25 year old filipina eating hot dogs for around 800 bucks monthly. Sounds like paradise.
Yes, many people love the situation Randy finds himself in. He cracks me up too!
Randy is making the best of his situation and appears to be enjoying life.
Well said Mark Ledesma! Thanks for following my dream. Dan
good for him.In his own head he has it all figure out and looks like hes full of life.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Terrific info once again. Well done Dan and Qiang !!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Qiang, loved how you magically disappeared and reappeared. It was kind of entertaining and distracted me from thinking about the 45 year age difference. I’m not mad. I actually think they look happy together. Why hasn’t the world got past age being more than a number? When will women be less criticized if they choose to date a younger man? Just wondering. I liked his budgeting idea of the daily amount of spending money in the jar. If you don’t spend it all, the balance could be tucked away for a rainy day. Thanks Dan for another informative video.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I feel sad for the young lady. Imagine having to service this old pervert.
Randy is the funniest American man alive long live Randy.
Thank you Tina Raphael! Yes. He is a barrel of laughs. Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
Interesting comments. I lived their 15 years ago for 800 to 1200 a month. My friends still say you can get apartments for under a 100, but at that price point you will need a local to help you and it would be better if you had a family their as infrastructure to help guide you. As far as the comments living their with out a visa, I never did that but know quit a few people who did, when you get caught not much happens usually you go before a judge and if you are seen running a local business and supporting your family even if its on a budget they will not kick you out of the country. If your not supporting a local maybe it would be different though. The only reason you will get kicked out is doing something culturally bad, then youll get kicked out, or worse, but just living their supporting your family no. Cool videos keep them coming and thank you for the best content on the web for retiring or slow travel around the world.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
this video is absolutely wonderful! Good luck and happiness to all of you, joining you soon, thanks
Thank you Black Grey! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
Do you have my free eBook yet? That is here: vagabondbuddha.com/fire-your-boss-travel-world/
I lived very comfortably in Dumaguete City for less than $500 a month, but that was over 10 years ago. If you like people, you'll love the Philippines.
I couldn't agree more Travis Hartzler. Thanks for commenting. RUclips grows our channel faster when people comment! So we really appreciate it! Best, Dan
Human interest stories with international flavor our wonderfully entertaining while we all wait for the world to Re-open Merry Christmas to you both and to each of your viewers and the very best in 2022 I am looking forward

My partner lives on p13,300 pesos a month = $265 per month 👍
Wow. That is amazing.
@@VagabondAwake thanks and guess what she is from an upper middle class family , attorney's, doctors, psychologist, x-ray technicians, majors in the military, etc etc , family means more to them than money so they all live a modest lifestyle 👍👍
Dan, great interview!...and your wife looks absolutely gorgeous!....keep it up!, it add values to us! I just can't wait till this plandemic is over with so that I can go to Philippines!.
You are welcome Richard Hunt. Your comment grows our channel. :-) Dan
Have you seen our RUclips playlist for each country? ruclips.net/user/VagabondAwakeplaylists
@@VagabondAwake No!, I have not seen that, but shall now review them and give you thumb up on as many as I watch. Thanks a bunch Dan!
for the year 2022 if you are single or living alone. 20k pesos to 25k is good enough or 500$ per month.
hi, nice explanation all about, but i was on Randys site, nice, he raised so many kids, and now is happy with his life there, congratulation, nothing is poor, wonderful life, enjoy Randy, you got a nice lady, good luck for both and long life, greetings from Austria
Thank you Kurt!
I'm a Filipino earning just about around $830 a month. But man, if you could cook or know where to find good and cheap food like in a Karenderya $800 is a lot of money.
Well said Ray Ingotan! Thanks for adding value to the community. Dan
Have you seen our RUclips country playlists yet?

Glad to see he is making it. Not an ideal situation due to the variability of the exchange rate.
Well said Tim G! Thanks for following my dream. Dan
Either he should renew his passport or get or denounce his US citizenship for Filipino citizenship. It's much better having your documents in order rather than expired.
Thanks for your input.
First time I see your Chanel I will be watching more God bless ......

You need to add phone load, transportation, travel. Add medical insurance unless you have at least $5,000 in an emergency fund.
Here are my thoughts on emergency funds. vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
Randy’s out in the Philippines barefoot and shirtless…hehehehehe…sounds like the life I want to live…!
600$ depends of one’s lifestyle.. I’d seen and travel many countries but for now USA is my choice to retired in the future..No way to retired in the Philippines... If ever i moved in the Philippines it’s because business purposes...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Everyone is watching this video for a reason aren't we?????
Hear his story?
@@VagabondAwake yes. Love it. So glad to see this guy happy.
Kyle is such a sweet simple girl.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It looks like Randy and Kylie are living a nice lifestyle. Randy does not say if Kylie works so maybe she is retired for now as well. I would suggest to Kylie that she gets a job….maybe at JollyBee, the restaurant or 7-11. Kylie needs to save her own money because it doesn’t look like she will inherit a lot when Randy’s expiration date arrives. I hope to travel to the Philippines soon but I’m still a little nervous with the Covid situation. Thanks for sharing.
true, i was also worrying about Kylie's future. she sound a very good girl. does she have children ?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Survived is the key word
Surviving isn't living, I'm certainly not retiring to just survive. That's me though, everyone is different.
Luckily we all get to define our own winning.
Next video I want Randy to talk about dating.
Hopefully he will read this. :-)
There are good doctors and hospitals in the Philippines. Find a good doctor and a good hospital for checkups or other contingencies. My dad an expat lived there until he was 84. Then he came here to be with me. But until then he had very good medical as he had prostrate, heart and sight problems.
I agree, there are good hospitals in th Philippines. They just aren't out in the provinces usually. But that is true all over the world. If you are sick, stay near a good hospital.
Folks I hate to tell you this but I have be living on and off in the Philippines since 1989 and I live and have lived for a lot less than Randy. I am now lock up in Alaska waiting to go home to Philippines and see my family. All that Randy said was true and I congratulate him. Dan of Alaska waiting to go home.
@@amylee6038 whoopeedo
@Randy Wilson 100% agree however someone don’t have to brag about how much money and all the materialistic things someone have.
@@amylee6038 Yes, but your poor husband has to live with an old, crusty lady.
@@amylee6038 not much humility left🤔
Are the borders open? Covid19?
This guy is having the last laugh on the wife that left him. Good for you Randy. Live long and have fun. My hero.
They don't all wear capes lol
There's two sides to every story!
I'm not impressed with this at all living in the United States Yonkers NY with a $350 a month apartment in 1983 honest-to-God I was only making a $112 a week from CH Martins in Getty square paying $350 a month look how much i was getting paid a month no benefits Sometimes you do what you have to do to survive I was using a little over $10 for food every week sometimes sometimes less i had just turned 18 I live like that for almost years On only $448 a month I was a teenager danger so I'm not impressed by this at all by myself I have to proof that I did it does does he have the proof im 57 now that was 1983 to a little into 1987 Just like those animals out in the world in the woods that don't know what they're gonna eat the next day they have to catch their prey this is not impressive to me at all coming from parents that weren't there from me where I was in the group home from 6 till I was 18 because they were fighting all the time you have to learn how to survive
I'm not at all impressed by this if I can do what I did I can easily do this
People that are middle class are gonna be impressed by this who are used to the good life the It's normal life but my life Till my very early thirties I survived like this
I stayed one time over my visa time. Not intentionally, I forgot how long i was there. At the airport as was leaving, the authorities just informed me that I had over stayed my visa. And instructed me to go to customs. They were very respectful, informed me how much I had to pay for over staying my visa. I paid that, which wasn’t that much. I boarded my plane ✈️. No issues and no problems. Since, I have returned several times. With no problems, now I am not saying a person doesn’t have to keep their visa up to date, I believe they should, but if someone forgets or delayed in paying, you will have to pay before you leave. The authorities are not running after you, you be responsible, and be respectful, don’t get into any kind of trouble. You will be okay. But remember if you decide to leave have some money set aside so you pay the fees, and depending on how long a person has stayed over will determine how much they will pay. Just pay and everything will work out fine.
That guy Randy must have fees up in the hundreds after over staying 14 years. I think they may ban him if he's caught. It's one thing to make an honest mistake and overstay for a few days or weeks. You may get away with over staying months or a couple of years but 14 years?
In Randys case say 20 years over at 500 per month is only 2400 dollar fine. 😁 120,000 pesos
But OVER STAYING for years and years is a completely different story. This guy is a dead man walking, he will be black listed and deported soon.. for sure.
@@nowthatsfunny1 it’s not 500 per month. It’s a 500 pesos exit fee you have to pay at BI however at the airport it will cost around 1,600 pesos. I pay 2,800 pesos every other month for visa extension. I have to show my ACR card to be able to get my visa extension. My ACR card cost is 2,391 and it’s valid for 1 year. So roughly around $5,000 US he will have to pay.
@@ckSport3000 you are probably right, I would not recommend anyone doing this. My situation was, I only stay a few days. At the airport I had to go to customs and pay for my visa stay that went over two days or maybe three, I don't remember. I pay about a hundred dollars, maybe a hundred and fifty. At the airport when they check a person passport and see a person has over stayed, they send them to customs at the airport. And a person is not leaving until they pay. And they have to pay in cash. No credit cards.
Wow. Quite a story Dan.
Randy says he's smart, but I don't know that bragging on YT how many years you've been in the country illegally (complete with a link to his website) is all that smart. Only for those who are happy to NEVER leave the country. I expect he'll be OK , as he pointed out, they generally don't go after overstayers, but rubbing in their noses on social media? Is very unwise.
I live in the Philippines on the same budget by the way.
Good luck to him though, and thanks for posting this.
if he gets caught he'll pay a small fine and life goes on.
@Randy Wilson Thanks for the response Randy, and I understand what you are saying. For sure there are others doing the same thing across the country. As you said, they have never made much effort to force overstayers to leave. Maybe no effort at all, as far as I can tell. Not unless they're suspected of certain crimes.
It's apparently also illegal to do charity work without government permission and registration, but again, just another law that's seldom - if ever - enforced.
I'd be careful not to assume that just because things have been a certain way for a long time, that they will always stay the same though. Having a "plan B" is never a bad idea.
Personally, I'd hate to be in that situation, since i love travel and want to continue traveling. It is an interesting option for those who are certain they never want to leave though. Would work in many developing countries I suspect.
Best of luck
@Randy Wilson Hi Randy, it is all good as long as a person is Healthy, have no commitments, and happy to live in a survival mode. You are doing the right thing for you , but I wonder why your g/f chose such a way of life.
@@dovoso5685 his girlfriend chose this way of life because in the Philippines Randy is living a middle class life. She likely upgraded her life. You need to look up the type of poverty there is in the Phillipines.
@@ariefraiser140 You are right, but this is very sad , mere existence with no future.
Randy integrated well, u dont need a western lifestyle of luxury to enjoy a simple good life in the Philippines. I had the most laugh at this video than any other. Randy is HILARIOUS!
Ikr! He's funny af! I'm thinking, what are they gonna do to a 70+ year old man living his simple life and not bothering anyone, who doesn't care if his passport expired some 4/5 years ago? Lol!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Randy proves you can live a simple happy life without a lot of money , especially in the Philippines , great story, my first visit was 2004 , I decided then , when I retire I will live in Phillipines , I moved here permanently in 2016, this is my home now .
Thanks for sharing
He is HILARIOUS! have him on again please!
He comes on once a year or so. :-)
Yeah he cracked me up about immigration and how his passport has been expired for years....LOL
These guy commenting they'll never marry😆 Obviously never had an Asian woman. I married mine as soon as I could. They're not like American women. They treat you well. Dan knows it. Anyone with a problem with their age gap would rather her become a single mother? She loves him bc he treats her well. Better than a boy her age.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
As long as you stay in philippines. I married on built two homes there in Dumagette area after a year we decided to come to usa she finished her nursing job. Started working for 3 years she had an affair with a married Doctor so there the same as American women. I still love Asain women and will be back soon but will never marry again. Just live with one
When I grow up, I want to be just like Randy. I want to have a 25 year old FIlipina girlfriend when I'm 71.
Thank you Bill Green! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-) Dan
@@VagabondAwake My pleasure Dan. Oops, here's another comment! ;-)
Seriously though, and I think you already know, I really enjoy the videos put out by you two.
Same dude 😎
Filipina here, all your kind ever do is oppress us, search our history you will find the Filipino people havent oppressed anybody. Hope you find a 25 yo Filipina girlfriend when youre 71 and I hope she will be kind to you and take care of you so you will get a taste of kindness in your lifetime.
@@KitKat-cm8rf Thanks Kit Kat. But just remember MacArthur. Then try to remember all the revenue from us US taxpayers that went to local businesses through Clark and Subic and all the protection those bases afforded your country. It's sad you don't speak of these things.
Much respect to Randy. He knows how to enjoy and be content on what he only have. You can see that he is happy. No stress, no problem. Me too, I want to live a simple life ❤️
Thanks for the video. This is a eye opening for men in the United States thinking there’s no hope. Randy is living the dream good for him. His partner looks happy, win win
time to take that red pill 💊
@Randy Wilson I love the reply!!! You are too cool!!!!!

I have lived on less than $600 a month for many years in Thailand and am living better than I ever did in America. You just have to be smarter and able to adapt to your environment than the average human. Learning the native language not only makes life less stressful it saves a great deal of money and time.
Thank you for the wise thought The Roads Less Traveled Southeast Asia. I couldn't have said it better myself. And thanks for taking the time to help our business grow by commenting.

Isn’t the visa situation there rough though?
Amazing !!! This Guy Totally Beat The System In His Later Years !!! LOL!!! I Love The Magic Way That Qiang Disappears & Reappears In This Video !!! LOL !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Please DO NOT do what he's doing, those late fees at immigration will be racking up daily and especially if you'd like to go back to your home country again one day. 🤣😂🤣😂
I agree. I just follow the local rules where ever I am in the world. But on his budget, knowing what he knew at the time. I can see why he went in that direction.
Randy should try a youtube channel... he might be able to make a little extra cash.. not that he needs it... The world admires a man that blazes his own trail... Cheers to you Mr Wilson!
Yes. He would. :-)
Yes! More of randy. And Philippines budget video. Thanks for this video.
Our pleasure!
I have to admit.... I make 7 times what Randy does and he is 7 times happier.
I know what you mean. I have some very successful friends in the USA pull down serious money and living high on the horse. They could buy and sell me 20 times over. But I wouldn't trade my life with any of them. I am very grateful my life turned out this way. It is not perfect, but it is very close.
He thinks he has it all figured out, BUT who from a western country wants to live like this? Very basic house, probably not a great area, not able to leave, presumably no savings, and what happens if he gets sick??? Apart from the issue of a 70+ year old being with a girl 50 years younger than him? Is it fair to her? Would any 25 year old western girl be with him? Of course not! Is this situation really acceptable or desirable?
You will have to decide for yourself. Randy has already decided.
No F's given with this guy lol. Gotta love retired people after a certain age saying whatever they want haha. He has more guts than me announcing it on here about his immigration status. My wife or I never messed with immigration of any country.
He is over 70 and he is ' hashtag living his best life '. I don't think he cares which is awesome 😎
Agreed. With how fast immigration laws can change I would keep that to myself. Even if they normally don't come after you if you announce it on the internet and people start making a stink about it you may become a target. Something similar happened to a couple of women social media influencers in Bali. Something they said on social media about Indonesia got some locals irrate and they were kicked out the country for over staying their visa.

New subscriber. This video is amazing. Thanks for sharing. You don’t need a lot of money to enjoy life. Here in the U.S all we do is work and sleep. I barely see my husband. I am tired of paying bills and dealing with the snow.. Hoping in few months we can move to the Philippines and start our new life there.
Well said. Time to get a life?
I hope immigration doesn't watch Vagabond Awake for Randy's sake
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@Dan, this was an amazing story about Randy which has inspired me to also move to Mabalacat Luzon in the Philippines. Do you have Randy's RUclips channel. As I want to subscribe to him as I am subscribed to you. Thanks for sharing his amazing story.
600$ is around Php29,982. If you live in the province that is a lot. Depends on where you choose to live. Rent would be around 1500 - 15,000 pesos or more ( regular 1 bedroom house to condo unit). If you cook your own food that would save you a lot and will eat healthier. 800Php a day for 2 people a day is for me too much well if homemade.
There are travel packages if you decide to go around and visit tourist spots. Cost 1500-5000Php. Depending on where you choose to go. Travel every month or two months. That is not bad at all. You can get life and health insurance which is not that expensive is very flexible and can be shouldered by the $600 budget.
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Michael Jayson Banua! Have a great day! Dan
Michael Jayson Banua, True i have a house down Dumaguete 2 bedrm and 2 badroom next to the beach and My mom renting to somebody for 500 pesos a month and still can't pay lol.I rent Apartment here im Miami for $1700.2 bd with 1 1/2 bath rm
I have lived in Medellin Colombia since 2016. At one point I was living very comfortably on $470 a month. Would love to be a guest on your show.
Less than 500 is clean, I'd love to do it ! How much for housing, food, electricity / water, internet, phone ?
💯 I would love to hear your story
@@conq3097 Same, or at least more written details.
Hey man. I enjoy your channel. Tough break with the visa situation in Colombia forcing you out but it will only be for a few months. Ever since my trip to Medellin this year I've been plotting on retirement there.
And the chicas?
Geeze Dan, you might want to edit the visa stuff out and repost. You know some miserable do-gooder is going to torpedo this guy and prob get him blacklisted.
Even if they do, nobody will come after him. "Blacklisting" is only for those OUT of the country.
Caveat - Yeah, if and when he gets deported. Blacklisting keeps him from legally "re-entering" the country,
Thanks for watching and commenting!
What he is saying was true. Philippines does not look that much about the overstayers. It can only be a problem if you commit a crime. But if you are staying peacefully like the indians and the korean you can stay for the rest of your life even without legal documents.
Well said STing Ray! Thanks for adding value to the community. Dan
Randy looks like is living the dream

What wonderful chap Randy is, so modest, simple, down to earth and positive, a shining light to others on how to conduct yourself as an expat. A really enjoyable open and honest interview free from any type of BS. He is a man that appreciates and enjoys the simple pleasures in life.
Thank you Marlec Marine! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
Living like him is a bad idea. The first time he needs a hospital, he will die if he has no money in his pocket. He is also very wrong that immigration doesn't care if you overstay, They even offer rewards to others to turn in those who overstay. Yes, a small overstay can be paid at the airport but he will owe thousands and thousands of dollars and if caught before the airport, he will find out immigration jail doesn't have aircon 24/7 so he might not survive. His admitting overstaying on video is shocking to me and a really bad idea.
@Randy Wilson Sorry but you are the one who is wrong. The 500 per month is the fine not the fee. You still have to pay your normal monthly tourist fees for the years you did not. So when you get caught you will be deported and black listed since you appear not to have the several thousands of dollars required.
So you are the one giving bad information and unless someone thinks sitting in front of an aircon all day is fun, best they look at reality and trouble they can get into by following you.
So if you think I am wrong, just trot your ass to immigration and tell them you want to pay up. Or are you afraid and living in fear?
@@theuergGermain You might be right on this. I pay almost 2,800 pesos for my 2 months visa extension. So roughly around 16,800 pesos for a year. I have to show my ACR card every time I get my visa extension if you don’t then you won’t get your visa. ACR is Alien Certificate of Registration and it cost 2,391 pesos which is valid for 1 year. Foreigners can only stay the maximum of 36 months then you have to go and pay 500 pesos exit fee where you can get it at BI. If my calculation is right Randy probably have to pay 250k pesos and its about $5,000 US. I just did it on 13 years.
@Randy Wilson What? Jealous of you living in poverty? Ha, I have lived in the Ph longer than you and on a whole lot more money. I did actually have work and earned a good retirement which is apparently something you never did. I can travel and take my partner out to eat all the time. You can do nothing for your partner and one day she will take that into consideration.
Anyone who takes advice on how to live in poverty has to be very desperate like you. I have seen others like you come and go and it doesn't end well. They end up begging others for money to go home or to pay for health problems. A couple of them died because they could not get health care and their friends did not feel like paying the bills of someone who just did not work all their lives. You best start to turn off your aircon and start saving your pennies.
Oh bye the way, Your Barangay ID has nothing to do with immigration. They are not connected in any way so they don't check your visa status. Only your address is what they care about.
Thanks for watching and commenting! RUclips shows our videos to more people when there are streams of comments like this. That means we make more money.
I've been in the Philippines almost 13yrs now, and been living on $300 a month with 5 mouths to feed. How much can you eat, drink, and whatever.

Randy is a very nice man and he has a sweet girlfriend! Great interview! Randy has a great attitude and he is very resourseful!
Thanks for watching!
Wish this couple all the happiness they can squeeze out of this life!
You mean squeeze out of "his" life!
I mean he's happy that's all that matters. Mean while other people are getting squeezed out of every penny and their not happy while making more money
Peter Parker, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! :-) Dan
I am curious why his SS is so low. Is it because of his work history or payment into the system? I am not criticizing....just curious.
Some people in USA SSA checks are lower than that and have to file for SSI to get to $700 something dollars a month.
@@lumiesoucek5129 But if paid into the system your whole life......I would assume it would be at least over $1000 a month for SSA
@@Jersey2WorldTravels I know that if your SSA check is less than $789 dollars, you can apply for SSI to make it $789 dollars. But if you are approved to receive both SSI and SSDI, SSI will dropped you if your SSDI/SSA is higher than $789.
I knew a lot of SSA recipients that received from $500 and up monthly SSA check. I worked full time for 13 years in Wal-Mart as a casher, stocker and sales clerk. In 2016 I applied and was approved for SSDI. My first year monthly check was $970 dollars and $16 dollars of food stamps. This coming January my monthly check will be $1,058 dollars.
If your SSA check is less than the poverty level, you are eligible to receive a food stamps of $30 if you pay rent. But if you own your home outright, you will only receive $16 dollars of food stamps.
@Randy Wilson 7 kids and none of them cares to help their father at this stage of your life? That disgusted me with kids in America. I have 4 and just that. I've known a lot of kids in America are just that in this generation. And they wonder why 34 tornados hit 8 states on the same day and killed over a hundred people (still counting) and level off grounds? It's a punishment and a correction to the wrongs we're doing in this world. I hope everyone will care a little bit more for everyone from this time on. God Bless.
@M J What's your country? I'm asking because I am working on getting every Filipinos a monthly check, free health care, free taxes, free college and free utilities. I want them to enjoy the benefits of the American Indians got in US. I want this to be my legacy to leave to my countrymen.
You can get a retirement visa for the Philippines it isn't hard just have 10k in the bank and a monthly retirement which social security counts and live the rest of your life
I would just get 36 monthly extensions and then do a visa run and come back and start all over again. I am not sure there are any real benefits to buying a retirement visa.
hahah you rich people, 600 dollars is easy to live month, i have lived 5years 6000peso its 100euro, so its so stupid to talk 600 dollars is some kind of miracle.
I want to try doing 100-200 a month and see if i can do it. Maybe next time i go to the philippines
@@JJason406 yeah if eat just simple, like rice, macaroni, hotdogs, i made hamburgers. i lived 2000peso room, or bamboo cottage, and ofcourse cant drink alcohol and go out dining. maybe i went for out once in 2 weeks. i had furnitures kitchen stuff, gas burner, electric stove
Thank you for your cost of living numbers Jay Linedan! Have a great day! Dan
@@jaylinedan6149 I don't drink. Are you Filipino? Looking into traveling to the Philippines this year but there are still alot of restrictions. I might go to cambodia instead this year.
@@JJason406 no im from Finland, i been here long, and i seen a lot, i see those americanos having breakfast restaurants sport bars and how they living and ofcourse its fine if have money, but its kind of luxory life. cos even when i was Finland ofcourse i dont go eat brealfast out.
here Philippines the food prizes are gone up, so if want to eat nice cooking home like for example pork steaks and mushed potato, or beef, or what ever its getting expensive. actually the kilo prices are higher than in Finland. Potato 2dollars kilo, eggs 2dollars 10 pieces, pork 6dollar kilo, milk 2 dollar litre, butter 2 dollar 250grams, ham 2dollar 200g. so yes i can eat cheaper in Finland.
but here i make simple macaroni, rice hotdogs(2,5dollar kilo)
renting a room is cheap here , you can find 60 dollar rooms per month, alcohol is cheap hahah but yeah i dont drink. cigarets is cheap can get under dollar per pack.
maybe around 200dollars you can buy all furnitures and kitchen things to manage daily in the beginning.
i live 150 dollars quite well a month.
Very DISTURBING video.

Hey Randy you’ll be paying a hefty penalties for over staying my friend, the place Mabalacat that’s were I grew up yes it’s a very nice place to leave the people there are friendly and nice to a foreigner like you. Me here in SFO California we’ll be retiring next year January 2022 if this Pandemic situations get better over in the Philippines I’ll be going back there next year, Randy, anyway I’m from San Francisco Mabalacat next to SFO Elementary Public School close to Clark AirForce Base☘️👍🏻

You’re proving it can be done with the right state of mind. Respect the culture and the people a person can live in the Philippines comfortably. There are many ways a person can live. Some people need more money because they require a higher lifestyle.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just live semple in phil.you can survive forever..just don't bring your luxurious life from the US .
Exactly! :-)
I'm curious as to how much money he has in the Bank? For Medical emergencies and stuff....
Great ask and answer you two.
Very interesting life Randy has. One could only dream of being so happy.
There are a couple of caveats in there as you pointed out. But, hey. Smile and be happy. 🌴

I've been living and visiting the Philippines for over 53 years. I just left Angeles City a few months ago after my most recent stay of nine years. I will start spending time in both Florida and the PI as I have my kids/grandkids in the states. I have a very nice house only a few miles from Randy. Note for Randy: don't every try a Jollibee hamburger. I did that about eight years ago and still have nightmares over how bad it was. Lol. Al
Yes even the coffee is bad there , never touched the so called food
Thank you ouel1! Your interactions help our channel grow! Have a great day. :-) Dan
5000 pesos rent is a steal. I bet he's saving a lot. I paid 10k pesos a month back in 2018 when there for a furnished studio apartment.

You'll be fine living there with expired visa. You have $800 dollars monthly go to the Philippines economy. Better than nothing. Better than the Chinese actually, because Chinese do not spend a centavo to the Philippines economy. Their food is coming from China and if they buy something, it has to be from the Chinese store where their money goes back to China.
To the Philippines Immigration; leave the old man alone. He cost no harm to our country but handling us $800 dollars a month of his SSA.

First money saving tip seems to be: Only buy one set of earphones.

It seems like Philippines or Thailand is the place to be for an affordable retirement. I think my military retirement pay and a 2nd job income online that this might be a place to go. Retirement in mid 40's sounds about right lol.
Yup Philippines is the country to be! I quit the rat race at 53. Bought an empty lot for a good price then had a house built all cash n paid for. Spending less than Randy every month for 2 people. I eat healthier than Randy though 😂
@@amaliahightower How do you own property? I thought foreigners can't own property there.
@@Jersey2WorldTravels I’m not a citizen however I’m born here.
Do it! I'm going to retire at age 37, not going to stay until mid-40s in the military but my real estate will more than take care of my retirement.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm happy for all these retired folks living overseas with PERFECT HEALTH. Must be nice to be. 60+ and not need any medication because it sure isn't factored into any of these you can live here for 3 dollars a month videos.
Well it does help to keep a healthy lifestyle, but a lot of countries you can get very cheap healthcare. It is cheaper for us to pay out of pocket in Mexico than my copay in the USA for prescription medications.
@@pedrozatravel we also figured that even were we to have stayed in the USA, our combined SS income coupled with any available PT jobs or..even continuing to work and deferring SS for awhile, living in the States would have required moving out of CA to a cheaper state, and if either of us came down with any debilitating health problem, even if we had health insurance, any long-term care facility would have virtually bankrupted us despite everything. Yah, we have savings and investments but it would quickly evaporate. Instead--we moved here, built our retirement house, are staying legally with a PRA visa (thankfully) and...retired! NOT working.
You don't need perfect health to live overseas. There are lots of countries with as good or better Healthcare systems as the US for what ails most expats at a much cheaper price. And when it comes to prescription drugs which is the medical care a majority of expats would need it's ridiculously cheap compared to the US.
Once you get to highly specialized technical healthcare like organ transplants that's likely where it would be better to be in the US but let's be honest. For a majority of guys like Randy they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of something like that even with Medicare. At a certain point in time you just have to go out and make the most of your remaining years instead of trying to live as long as possible but live in misery in the process.
Health care is very affordable in the Philippines. Their system has problems, but its not a giant parasite like America's health care industry.
Thanks for your thoughts on this video everyone!
Your true, , , just be careful of chosing partner, , ,those not extravagant and easy go lucky, , ,partners of those quality can lead you to endanger your peace and life
That is the most important decision in life. :-)

Agreed. Like the attention seeking zoomer girls on Instagram say, he is # livingmybestlife
@@craiggallup5706 My comment was a general one,relating to going to a new country at a later stage in your life. And enjoying a quality of lifestyle which you could not have in the west,as an old man. I know nothing about any of the aligations that you have made about him. Unlike you I did not know he even existed till I saw the video.
@@craiggallup5706 I am sure that the authorities in the Philippines will be made aware to this, and take the appropriate action.
@@craiggallup5706 Full disclosure, I only watched the first few minutes, I have downloaded it so I could see it later. I still have yet to see it, I am very busy at the moment. I do not Condon breaking the laws of a country that has allowed you to stay in it. You are a guest and should be very respectful. If what you say is true, I am very disappointed with Vagabond Awake, for showcasing this individual.
@@craiggallup5706 The lesson I have taken from this is don't comment on video's you haven't watched fully yet, my trust in Vagabound Awake is now diminished. He needs to make a public announcement.
He should apply for permanent residency if he is married to kylie, so that he wont be penalized, stay and live legal in the philippines, my husband over stayed in philippines gpr 10 yrs, but penalties are waived bec we are married and applidd for permanent residency for him instead
Great tip! Thank you for sharing! :-)

Never heard asking you, Hospitalization, maintenance, monthly check up about your Health how much you spend in the Philippines :)
Randy answers that question in other comments. Here is my answer to that question: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
If a Filipino was earning 600 a month they would be doing ok. So why shouldn’t he live on that
I don’t know what all the fuss is about. But you’re a really nice guy. Good luck buddy
@Randy Wilson I will thanks 🙏 mate
@Randy Wilson More power to ya Randy! If you are not interested in international travel or returning to the US and the Filipino government threatens to deport you - you can renounce your US citizenship quickly and remain in the Philippines as a "stateless person". You can research these facts on the internet. God bless you two.
I’m going to Philippines just as soon as it’s open. In Cambodia now

In our country Phil's you can goin anywhere-- very nice like you are in paradise home--+ but if you have a current money monthly recieve? Much more nice---

But even that you have must be careful to spend outside? Because our daily needs are the prices are so higher--ESp the electric bills--:(+

And is why many pilipinos want to work other countries to have more and can invest something+
