Living and budgeting goes hand in hand , some can manage it , some cant ,
I am not asking what the cost of living is going to be like over in the Phils for people who have made it over there, but there has to be a limit,
Could it be a case that many with a small budget who is planning to live over in the Philippines suddenly cannot live there,
They say its cheap to live over there so if you are living on a budget here and are managing quite well then if you have the same amount to take with you and to live on that i cannot see a problem,
Yes i do know there are things to take into account , HEALTH seems to be the biggest, then maybe there is the heat and insects too, and boredom ,
Everything here is taken for granted some say so suddenly finding yourself having to pay for things that you have never paid for before could be a shock but again if you have planned it right and you do have the right budget too what is stopping you,
May be lots of negative advice mixed with good advice is putting some people off or having second thoughts about the move, i am always having second thoughts sometimes third thoughts too, but i am ready to give it a go once we have set my retirement date or we win the lotto £6.40 last Monday,or 456 peso, now what could that buy me
