Living Abroad Vs Living In The Philippines?

[unodostresdale]

I work remotely on US so I just spend the dry season in PH and the wet season in the USA! It works for me. I think I got really lucky that my boss is chill about where I'm physically located. We have to use a VPN router to get around my corporate office policies but my direct manager is aware. So it's really nice experience for the last 3 years.

Pension from US and live part time in the Philippines. Strength of the dollar gives me the freedom to live the life I want in the Philippines.

Living in PH has its pros and cons, kung malaki sahod mo dito eh ok lang you can live comfortably but for others na isang kahid isang tuka or minimum mejo tagilid mas ok pa mag abroad sila.

I prefer to live here in the Phl since I have a stable job with a decent salary.

Pag ako nag retiro kukuha ako ng sariwang dalaga para mag alaga sa akin. Araw araw ako iinom ng gatas. 😍

Most Filipinos just look at the gross salary without factoring in the cost of living. Employment is no different from running a business. If you're able to sell an item for 100,000 but the cost is 95,000, you're worse off than someone selling an item for 10,000 but the cost is 3,000.

If it's just money, yung net savings mo sa abroad, kaya mo rin maipon dito kasi mura ang cost of living dito. Ang problema lang talaga dito, your lifestyle eventually hits a ceiling because of poor infrastructure. Someone earning 100K a month here lives a lifestyle not so far off from someone earning 2M a month. Parehong stuck sa traffic, parehong napapara ng traffic enforcer, sa parehong resto lang din kayo kumakain.

At walang variety ng chicks dito. 99% of the time you're with Pinays. So kung gusto mo makatry ng ibang lahi or ayaw mo sa culture ng pinoy, wala kang choice.
