£380 a month either means you own your own home outright or you living in the province or both !Originally Posted by Michael Parnham
Yes Steve, £380 will give you a comfortable lifestyle. As I've said before, we lived well on £830 a month and managed to save between £400/£500 per month, that included eating out frequently, also ferries to Siquijor and other transport costs regularly. We lived a decent life. Remember you're not buying lots of clothes and winter boots etc and your shopping bill is way, way less than what it is here!
Read up to date reports of costs. Most say at least £700 to live ok and about double that to live well.
Yes, I have lived there and my costs were soooo much higher than that. Yes, it was in Manila. Personally, I don't want to live in a nipa hut eating local produce only.Good luck to those that can
