Living Abroad Vs Living In The Philippines?

[KAPITAN_Tutan]

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

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

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

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.

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.
