keep everything as it is here and have a 'holiday home' in the Phil. That way your 'base' is still in the UK.
the rp aint for everyone sure and neither is the uk.. personally id rather live and get sick here than be sick to death of living in that damned place for the rest of my life..for me thats purgatory pure and simple ..
what a waste of good life that would be..

woosh...my eldest is in the uk at uni,my daughter is in private education here and my youngest son studies at home for his british igcse`s..all are doing really well.
your budget is good but as mentioned keep a nice few bob put away for medical expenses and emergences ..insurance is good but you would mostly need to pay the hospital up front and be reimbursed sometime later..i have a european mate in cebu doctors now and thats what hes having to do.. his policy costs him 350.00 euros a month most of which his company pays..he says the hospital is as good as anything in germany..tons of dive shops here in bohol btw..
