When i was there living in the Philippines - in a cheap agricultural city 100 miles from Dumaguete (middle of nowhere) ...
my income from rent was £550 per month, and i was still rolling around in DEBT every month
My life is cheaper here than in the Philippines...
and it wasn't like i was a perpetual tourist or anything ... coz ... well ... me and the Mrs were homebirds ... and ... we had a couple of holidays, KL and Hong Kong, but ... nothing extravaganT!
So in a sense, for our lifestyle (a fairly lower middle class one) in the phils, we needed more than £550 per month
