Love these detailed broken down expenses vlogs you do. Kudos to you two for sharing it to the tee on what you both bring in and spend on a monthly basis. Before the move here to Lipa last month, Ghen and I did this as well, we had two spreadsheets, one tab with US expenses and one with Philippine expenses. Everyone would be amazed how much you can save here as well as just live simple. Advise anyone do that before even thinking of moving here. I know your a busy guy and hope to meet up soon! PS: I noticed you been working out from the start of the video, nice abs Stan! 😁
Thank you Stanley. I appreciate your cost breakdown videos. I am confident my family will be able to live comfortably there as well on my social security. Veteran's Day coming up, thank you for your service.
Absolutely fantastic information, this helps us all so much. Knowing that it is totally doable to live outside of the USA and be comfortable… I am definitely thinking of the Philippines for retirement…. I think the fact that you are so kind by nature that your honesty is very comforting… Blessings to you and your family…
Stanley, please don't take it wrong, but for expats who have higher monthly income, they can live like kings in the Philippines, including affording many services that even rich people in the USA can't afford: a live-in maid, driver, cooks, vacations, body treatment and even medical procedures to improve your life. Paradise that even rich people in the USA can't afford.
Hello! Just want to stop by and say I really appreciate these kind of videos. We are relocating in Lipa really soon, in less than 2 years and I have been looking for anything I can to prep ourselves with the big move.
Thanks for this video, Ive been getting my affairs in order to retire there. I've got My credit cards all paid off I don't have have any car pmts. Or a house payment or rent. When im ready to move there tha sale of this house will be my money to live on until my SSA starts. So my cost there could the same amount there as here for me given my situation
That's really nice . I could afford living there when I retire early in 6 years. Will have to come and visit and see y'all. Maybe have you show me some houses. I seen one house you showed once for 128 bucks a month for rent. In the subdivision you live at . I think it was in the same place .
Well done Stanley ! --- No way can you live that comfortably -- and -- buy a house (!) in the US - on that kind of $ - anywhere !!! - - - It sure seems to me that a much better life is available there on about 1/3 the cost overall ? An amazing thing is that you don't have to tolerate winter weather either ? - - - Thanks for the slightly different perspective for our consideration. All the best ! ❤👍🙏✌👌👏
Thanks Stanley. Wow, HOA monthly fees are only $11 - a bargain for any expat who owns a house in the Philippines. Just to compare, in Manila, a nice condo, in front of Manila bay, the HOA fee is $50 with 2 pools and other amenities. In the USA, as a contrast, nothing is less than $100s per month. Think how much you save this way.
I thought the AI video was hilarious. I fully intend to move there next year and would appreciate any help or advice you have to spare. Until then i wish you the best. Hoyt
I’ll definitely plan to transition there your time and assistance will be valued and appreciated.Stay safe and be well.
Sounds good. We will help out however we can. Thank you 🙂

Hi Stan, great useful video, I travel soon and hope to get to see you, i will drop you a email before i travel..

Stan, this just proves that you can live quite well on the average Social Security income.
There are many here who only have Social Security.
Yea,if you are frugal,way cheaper than here in Ohio.
Thanks for sharing, we appreciate it 🙂
Nice video Stan. A convincing argument. See you tomorrow morning.
Thank you sir, it was great meeting you!
Did you rent out a house in the USA?
Yes, while I was there. I sold the house before I moved here in the Philippines. Thanks for watching 🙂
