Hi Steed welcome
It's a forum, with a lot of differing views, with members from all walks of life, but we all have a common connection & it works.So, yes you will be able to glean plenty of information here.
It's very difficult to say how much money you would need a month, to live in the Philippines?
Members here often throw around figures, but it really depends on your personal circumstances & tolerance levels? ...Have you got a wife, gf, partner, kids etc.
Which Island are you going to live on...makes a big difference? City or province?...Do you need aircon, or can you manage without? Nippa hut, or a luxury apartment, with views over Manila Bay etc. etc...These aren't questions personally directed at you, just hypothetical & ones we all need to ask ourselves if considering a move over there.
Your best bet, if you haven't already spent time out there, is to stay for 6 months if you can, living at your comfort level....that should give you an idea.
Remember, everybody in the UK, is living on very different income levels, so the Philippines is no different....though you have to take in considerations, like there is no free health care, over there.
Food for thought
