Living Abroad Vs Living In The Philippines?

[game_boy]

P.I. forever

[annanicole19]

I travel and visit abroad,to see and experience new things, open my mind and create memorable adventures, but I'd pick the Philippines any time of the day,inspite of, despite of, it is still a wonderful place for me;p

Living in the Philippines, travel abroad.

[gyros]

10 years Middle East

migrated to North America and has been living here for the last 14 years

comes home to Pinas every 2 years for a break/vacation -iba pa rin sa Pinas

[Sir Galahad®]

Lived in Japan for two years... did everything alone.

Had Business Trips in the US

Had a Fairly long vacation in the UK

 

Here is the thing, it's ok to live alone as long as all the conveniences are there. Near the supermarket, near the bank, you have a washing machine.

And it's much more convenient if you do all daily routine with people you live with.

 

Usual routine when living alone: Cook, Clean, Wash the Dishes, Do the Laundry, Iron Clothes, Take out the Trash, Buy Groceries... Rinse, Repeat (Hehe!)

Lived in Singapore for more than 5 years. Despite so many good things about SG compared to PH, I still feel that the Philippines is home and where I will always stay.

Living abroad is Nice, Comfortable, Safe and you can Earn more money - given the right job + skills and willingness.

 

DITO sa Pinas, magulo, matraffic, hindi daw safe, madumi, kahit anong galing mo sa trabaho maliit pa din sweldo mo. - Sa PILIPINAS pa din ako nakatira.

[Kevin Kwan]

 

sa bayan kong mahal, PILIPINAS

[Mr.automechanic]

Dito mas ok if gusto mo stressfree sa mga household

While independent ka pag sa abroad ka

[idle2]

kahit peste si duterte at taxes are coming iba pa din sa pinas.

[wheeljack]

It all evens out. When you live abroad you have to do chores.

Here, it's the traffic that gets us. At the end of the day, it's really where you are comfortable in. We have roots here that make it easier to live here in spite of everything.

So if it's a choice, living here wins

[Mr. Hon]

Living in the Philippines.

[MRROUGHSEX]

I love to have opportunity to live/retire in the Philippines. Andito pa rin karamihan prends ko. We'll see.

The problem for Americans is that US Medicare does not cover retirees abroad. The equivalent of Medicare coverage in Pinas is Php65K per year. 20 years from now and for a period of 20 years thereafter, that would be about Php200K per year. So, Americans would lose all the money they paid to Medicare and on top of that, in 20 years from now, they have to shell out an average Php200K to pay a Medicare-comparable private health insurance.

I've been living out of the country for 14 years. It's more convenient if you have a stable job and good salary.

[joseph35]

Depende din sa situation e, kung mayaman ka at ayaw mo sa magulo tumira ka sa mga magagandang lugar ung hindi ka mapeperwisyo ng traffic like sa Baguio Camp John Hay, Tagaytay Highlands etc tapos pabibisibisita nlng sa mga negosyo mo.

 

Kung sa ibang bansa kasi mahirap magnegosyo e kaya asa ka sa work mo.

Living Abroad, Canada or Australia

[temurlenk]

If you have a stable job or business in the Philippines then that is an ideal situation that does not require one to leave and work abroad. Pero kung ang habol mo naman is ung peace of mind na lalaki ang mga anak mo sa isang bansa na maganda at malakas ang ekonomiya na madaming benepisyo like healthcare, education and retirement, then sad to say I would rather be somewhere else if at all possible, like Australia. Ofcourse some people have dual citizenships which makes everything convenient.

[J.A.S.O.N]

i will stay in the philippines

[3 points king]

If you are well to do already it is best here sa pinas, go abroad to work if you want employment first.

[maninmotion]

If you are a Filipino and you belong to the top 1% of the socio-economic class population, you can live anywhere in the world and it's gonna be the same for you. Your money will afford you to buy everything you want whether material things or services.

 

If you are in the top 10% of the socio-economic class population then it will be better to stay and work or do business in the Philippines. Your status in the Philippines, will still be better than a middle class existence in a 1st World country in North America, Western Europe or Australia & NZ. Whatever material things you can have there, you can also have it here and living conditions will even be better because of cheaper cost of services.

 

However, if you belong to the lower 90% of the socio-economic class of the country, you are definitely better to go abroad to any 1st world economy nation and look for your fortune there. Your low or even middle income existence in a First World nation will still be better than your living conditions in the Philippines. In a First World economy, you will be able to afford own your house and a car with just having a job. It may require you to work in 2 or 3 jobs but it will be possible which is almost impossible or non-existent if you work in the Philippines all your life. Not unless you are a PACQUIAO (magpapabugbug ka) or a NAPOLES (magnanakaw ka sa kaban ng Bayan) o maging ARTISTA o POLITIKO ka..
