no stress?? Try to register anything or rely on anything and you have stress no traffic?? you seem to talk about a different country? Cheap? Talk about 1000 USD/month for one child at a decent private school, or 2000 USD at the International School Manila.
@@marianeil6630 It's Highschool level when you want your kids to have a good education and chances in life. And no it's monthly. The least expensive school from this range is European International School (EIS) with about 15k/year, then Brent, British School and the highest priced is IS Manila. Local schools that are good and less expensive is La Salle and Ateneo, but I don't know their current yearly fees.
@@telcslightingdesign2215 Ateneo or Lasalle, is a catholic school, but they have high standard in the Philippines, there’s a lot of private schools in the Philippines to choose, so shop around!!!!
It has been a while, how are you Adam and Jane? We also moved here in Czech Republic, a bit cheaper compared to England. It really is a big help when you don't have rent or mortgage to pay. Enjoy your life in the Philippines
Hi guys! It's good to hear you are happy and getting on. It's been so long since we were in England last. I'm sure it's a totally different place to what we left. Any plans for a Philippines visit? Have a great weekend 😊
I bought a cheap property in Bulgaria, because house prices are ridiculous in the UK now.. but don't fancy the COLD ❄️ 🥶 in winter, so looking for a permanent warm and reasonably priced country to live in....
I’m American and we live just outside Davao City and own our home. Our property is unique. It’s like living in the province, but we can be in a very developed area in less than 15 minutes and get anything we need, we spend about ₽40K to ₽50k per month. we are very simple people and we like it that way. We travel 3 to 4 times a year and have a good lifestyle. We use Aircon when we want and don’t worry about the bill in this area. Cost are definitely less than the northern islands we did some traveling last year because my wife’s son was very ill and I definitely noticed the cost difference in Dagupan about an hour and a half west of Manila.
Hello, may I ask what kind of visa you are now? We are planning to moving in Philippines, and applying PR ,, just asking for advice which is better. Thank you for the reply
Beautiful couple Adam and Jane❤ plus their gorgeous daughter. Yes inflation is crazy. There was a time here in Luzon when a truckload of tomatoes got dumped on the side of the road due to oversupply, and then whatdyouknow, a kilo of tomatoes now cost a fortune almost 1k a kilo. Thats why i love your garden coz its self sustainable with all those fresh produce from garden to your dinner table. Anyway it's that time of the month aka Annual Report😊 make sure you register at immigration eservices. It just got easier coz you can do virtual and pay online.
I'm looking right now here in Ormoc and I am seeing places from 7k to 30k. Depending on what your budget is and what you're looking for is the factor. We don't need much considering we are living in a room at her parents house deep in the province. I run my aircon 24 hours a day in our room and our electric bill was 3400 pesos for the month. But we àre ready to get our own place in the next few months.
After the last month in Hilongos, we worked out our expenses to be P36K. Our electricity was P3580 including running 2 of our 4 aircon units- Living Room one most of the day and our bedroom one at night.
Thank you for reminding to pay for my visa. Have to take a trip to immigration in Tacloban and pay my 310 peso for my 13A visa. I have had it for 14 years.
I was just in Tacloban catching a plane. Drove from there to Calbayog on what has to be the worst road I’ve ever been on. When it got dark it was really dangerous. On the way back to Tacloban we left early so not nearly as bad a drive. Wish I had more time on Samar Island.
@@papadougpapadougsadventures the roads can be pretty challenging. Blink and you go into a ditch... or at least it feels like it at times. Samar is a beautiful place. We went once and can't wait to return again 😊
@@papadougpapadougsadventures it's fun in the Philippines!! You'll never know the surprises, You are visiting the Philippines islands, what do you expect ??. Flat and smooth road??? Come on!!
I also have the Bluetti ac300 and 4 b300 batteries along with the ac200 that I connected to my home panel and now we are off grid here in Negros. The bluetti stuff is rock solid. Been using for a couple years now!! Thanks for the video!!
Wow that's amazing. We are thinking of going off grid too! Just need a bit of an upgrade in terms of panels but Bluetti has really been a life changer living here. Have a great weekend 😊
We are moving to the Philippines 🇵🇭 later this year luckily we have our own home which was built 2 years ago. My first job will be to fit solar panels and A/C in the living room, we are looking forward to it especially spending Christmas 🎄 in the Philippines.
Your right friends! I live in the deep jungle of Mindanao Island! Seven people in my home. We spend 100,000 per month! And we have NO rent or electricity costs! We have solar, but electricity rate here is about 6 pesos per kilowatt hour! That 100,000 per month is for EVERYTHING! Including taxes, licenses, permits, food, repairs auto and home, fuel, propane etc etc! 😊🙏🏻
@ Thanks friend! Seven people 100% of the time and up to twelve or 13 from time to time. Many Filipino bothers, sisters and nieces and nephews visit often! I don’t feel like I’m an ATM. I feel like I’m the head of a large family! 😊🙏🏻
A very elegant woman your wife is. I appreciate how ground you both appear to be. My electric bill runs around $55 per month with a few months hitting under $80 per month. I use a wood burner in the winter and my wood thus far has been free other than my time and labor.
I'm sending 70k a month to my elderly parents luving in Bicol, including their meds, house rental, etc. Living costs in the Philippines have skyrocketed. 😢
When Jane doesn't wear a makeup, she is sooo naturally beautiful. And when she wears a makeup, she becomes like a real beauty pageant queen celebrity, very beautiful face and physique. Adam of course is also very handsome. Keep it up.
A big chunk of the budget in the Philippines goes to food. That says a lot about the state of the country's agriculture today when land is in the hands of more owners - inefficient. It was not this way in the recent past when land was a bit more consolidated. For a family with less than modest means, the little produce from a garden like what you have will really go a long way in stretching the food budget.
Yes, it's very weak and low in almonds. We are going to start making our own as almonds are available from shopee and it's far more cost effective in the long run.
I've been watching many videos for about 3 years now and cost of living over there in many areas. Outside the big cities always is cheaper. There are frugal Americans who I know are living there retired on tourist visas quite comfortably for about $900 USD in essentials monthly. Rent included in $80 / mo. apartments they remodeled to their standards on long term leases. Added AC paint flush toilets..... and made them very comfortable ! Several are in Trace Martires / area - only an hour S of Manila Airport. Great location for access to Manila w/o the big expense. They are very small but a nice ''homebase'' for those who like to travel a lot. Travel expenses are extra & over the $900 amount. A nice enough life however for any expat who wants a relaxed retirement. Everything needed is easily obtained in that area. - - - Other frugal but comfortable examples exist in Lipa City on $800 budgets - a bit farther away from the big city. - - - Nice thing about the Philippines is that you can have almost any budget you require or desire. > Location --&-- Lifestyle will determine the cost. 👍🙏✌👋👌🍺
Adam thanks for the blog on those blocks of land in Leyte, im considering a move from Australia to Leyte so any condo, land, townhouse, house blogs are greatly appreciated. Im thinking to rent for the first year and decide from there whats best. Hope one day we can meet up for lunch ive been watching your channel for a few years. Cheers joe
we're renting a big 2 bedroom with parking and small area for a garten,, on the way to Bagong Buhay for 15K.. we frequent the local Ormoc market as you do primarily for fresh fruit and veggies.. no aircon installed or tv,, and our electric has always been under 1k monthly for the 6 months we've been here.. we're also a family of 3 and we easily manage to keep our expenses below 50k,, but about every other month we also help a family member pay for some sort of issue.. it's not utopia,, but our complaints are minor..
Thanks for the upload… really interesting information. It’s funny, depending on who you watch will depend on whether you believe you’ll need $1000, $2000 or more per month. But as you say, living a quiet family life in the province is totally different to partying every night in BGC. I suppose that’s the value of a CoL video - it’s for those whose lifestyle matches (as close as possible) the up-loaders. Subscribed.
Latest news: There is a condo crash now in condos in Metro Manila where condo prices and condo rental prices went does. You can rent a 1 bedroom condo in Mandaluyong, Ortigas, in Manila and Quezon City, in Alabang and Pasay City, in Makati hopefully BGC also for 10,000 pesos. This is due to oversupply of comdos in the Philippines and they are still building more condo buildings in the city. This is now the right time to buy a condo in the city, especially in Manila central business districts the conveniences there like malls restaurants boutiques markets et cetera are within walkable reach. This is all over the news now on TVs and here in UA-cam.
Great info my friend. We had heard about it and it is very useful to many people wanting to visit here or buy a condo. It's certainly an appealing place to live 😊
My wife is from Cebu and we reside in NE Texas. We live well in a very large house with a lot of toys. House is kept at 72 degrees 365 days a year. Also have unlimited hot water showers. In Peso's it's about $300,000.00 a month. Taxes and insurances are the biggest expenses.
Overall expenses in BG is at least 2500 and up I've watched from other bloggers. Thats with travelling. But there are expats there that spends 5,000 US dollars.
Most Filipinos can not afford your lifestyle yet you are aware and keeping expenses within your agreed budget. That tells me that you are better off given that your money is more valuable than the Philippines pesos that most people earned. Just enjoy your daily life. And when you spend money, other locals benefit from you. Thank you
@Asia-p1p3b of course we have money otherwise we wouldn't have been able to move, build a house etc. we worked hard for our money. We never would move without financial backup and noone should which is the point of videos like this.
@Asia-p1p3b flaunt? You must be joking. Our budget is modest compared to many people. If you are offended by anything then that's a reflection of your own insecurities. We don't flaunt. We live life based on our budget. Nothing more, nothing less.
As someone who will be moving to the Philippines from the UK in the next few years, I found this video really interesting. Great job guys and although I don't comment lots, I love watching you share your life there ☺
I love Jane and Adam too!! But for me ,she is a beauty Queen. Always sweet, calm, polite, a very royale pers onality and beautiful !! While I,am watch ing your videos I always feel so peaceful. I,ve noticed you,re happy together. God have blessed you.
In Masbate the electricity is not very expensive but only when there is no brownout.... Unfortunately in the last years brownout was a daily problem that we decided going off grid with solar... This was the best decision and we pay now zero electric and zero water because we have our own deep well. If you buy food from the local market it is still okay. I think that is a global problem and always complaining doesn't reduce the prices. The positive side where we live is that almost no foreigners are living here who bring prices up because they always say that it's cheap....
From what we have heard the tourist visas for example are still operating as usual but with only a 1 or 2 month extension available rather than 6 months. Not sure if this is a long term change or if the 6 month comes back. Spouse and retirement visas are the same though 😊
Lots of pandemic city escapees apparently. The main expectation one has to understand is that living in the province requires a very high level of self-reliance to achieve what you need to live there. Not difficult but just very raw conditions, minimal infrastructure, wilderness environment, it can feel very isolated, but you quickly realize that is better than living in a provincial community with lots of loud people and animals around you (Karaoke morning and evenings lol). I myself moved, literally dropped everything and was afraid of unreasonably overreaching rules and mandates controlling my day-to-day in the city and the impending sense of the high-population descending into a scarcity mindset in a confined urban location setting in. Luckily I had an old piece of property about 12acres I acquired a few years back and immediately built a guest house to accommodate my stay while I acclimatized to my new location on Guimaras Island. Took a year living there to study and plan for the main residence, sun exposures, seasonal effects that sort of thing, and used that experience to create an appropriate living setup. You can work on the sustainability aspect once you have your basics ready.
Your Spending is Awesome 😎, I bet your budget is 1/3 my Corporate Budget, But that includes 2 farms A Condo, and a big home with AC, I budget 7000 just for Power bill, Most times for House, it’s 5500-5800 with AC, Leyte Island is off the charts, Our groceries are double yours, And we do price shop for sales, Thank you for the Video, it has inspired me to cut costs. I have lived here 5 years, Even high budget for the whole Corporation it’s 1/3 of US Costs. God Bless
Hello Adam and Jane. I am planning to buy a 3 bedrm 3 or 4 bathroom House with a swimming pool. Land size up to 750sq.mtrs and internal up to 300sq.mtrs. Adam could you please estimate how much annual Phillipine property tax i would have to pay. Single storey please. Also is there local council tax to pay? Also will the Phillipine government tax me on my UK Gov State Pension and my Local Gov workplace pension when i do an International Bank transfer? Will i be taxed on the money from the sale of my private house in Scotland? I am 70 year old pensioner and i am already taxed in the UK on both pensions. Thank You Adam for any information that you can provide.
Good luck my friend, it's a great plan. Sorry but it's impossible to estimate the land tax as it would depend on the land zoning rates etc they can vary drastically depending on type of land. We wouldn't be able to advise about tax as everyone's situation is different. Generally you wouldn't be taxed twice on the same income as there is a tax treaty between the Philippines and UK.
Water and electricity is expensive, if your house is big and watering plants, still cheaper compared to Western countries!! No snow, if you like to see snow, go to Japan or Taiwan or China.
Prices of solar equipment has gone down. Panels not so much. The power wall battery and hybrid inverter is almost half as much from 3 years ago. 50k a month is not much. It's more like 100k because there is always something that comes up.
Happy New Year! Great videos, great life, great family, happy simple tranquil life, so much serenity and calmness, nature, rural life, it is a beautiful life. Keep it up. I can't wait for Isabella to join the national pageant and soon international pageants, so many opportunities; Miss Earth, Miss World, Miss International, Miss Universe claim it now! I believe she is ready.
Regarding your question about rent. Me and my wife are renting a nice 3 bedroom house with a CR, 75sqm, gates, dirty kitchen and newly renovated in Quezon province for 7K per month. Electric bill last month was 697 pesos (no need for aircon), Internet 1000 and water 235 pesos.
I think a lot of viewers would be interested in knowing how much you have spent for your house so far. The purchase of the land, the initial construction, maintainance, repairs and renovations, both inside the house and in the garden. If you take that total and divide it by( p30K x 12 months = p360K) you can calculate how many years you could have rented for that price. Then everyone can make out for themselves what suits them best, as the choice to buy or rent may depend on so many considerations that are different for everyone.
$500 - $650 per month for a family of three sounds reasonable to live a comfortable middle class Filipino life. That's if you own your own house, exclude healthcare insurance, buy your meat and produce from a local market, eat and live like locals, no booze and extravagant eating out, and mostly use local transportation.
We buy our meat from supermarkets, have healthcare, eat out several times a month, own and maintain a car and can still do it on our budget. It's pretty easy to stick to and we are disciplined. A budget doesn't dictate a class of living though as it's not income. If someone spends all of their income they don't build savings for a contingency or move forward with any plans they have for life. Have a good day my friend 😊
Philippine Statistics Authority says inflation rate from 2021 to 2024 is 4, 6, 6, 3, an even 20% average rise in cost. That explains your monthly P35k lower middle class budget change to P50k middle middle class budget increase.
Things definitely have gone up in price my friend but budgets don't determine class. Income does... but not always. Someone with no income can still be considered high or middle class and someone with higher income could still be considered lower class. There are many different factors when determining class. Assets, investments, overall wealth, income, debts...
Hi Adam, what province do you live in the Philippines?my wife is Filipina and we’re planning to live somewhere in the Philippines nice and comfy environment. Im always watching you guys. Im from California.
Thanks. I want to move back to Carcar City - Cebu soon. I hope that she will get a scholarship for college. That can help a lot with the budget. Apply in advance / Anders Hasselroth
we same expenses here sometimes i do groceries amounting 30k good for 1 month except the meralco and water lol yes now we save aircon becoz its cold now a days since DEC UP TO NOW THINK THATS UNTI MARCH HERE IN OUR PLACE SO BEFORE MY ELECTRIC IS 10K NOW ITS ONLY 7K SAVE 3K WATER NOT CHANGE COZ WE HAVE HEATER SO STILL 2,500, MAYBE THIS 2025 WE NEED TO SAVE AND THRIFTY LOL BUT NOT IN OUR SELF SPECIALLY THE FOODS WE TAKE THATS IMPORTANT TO OUR BODY TO BE STRONG AND HEALTHY ATLEAST U HAVE GARDEN WITH FRUITS AND SOME VEGIES.. YES I BUY ALSO IN THE LOCAL MARKET NOT IN THE MALL..SEE U IN UR NEXT VLOG I LOVE U GUYS IM HAPPY TO SEE AGAIN INGAT
It has gone up a lot and seems everyone follows suit once one puts up their price. It's not sustainable the level of increases and most likely will stabilise soon. Inflation in most countries has come down a lot. God bless you my friend 😊
Approximatley where are you in Leyte? I live in Tacloban built a house 3 yrs ago and am looking for some land to buy further out and would love to not need a/c
Ok I appreciate the reply, It's interresting you are in Ormoc, My pastor and I were just talking about that area earlier today. He said it is very beautiful and more, (updated), I guess is a good way to ssy it, than Tacloban is. Ok, again tha ks for the reply. I will go check that area out next time I come to Philipines. Have to head back to the U.S. for work next week. Stay safe and have a great New Year
Thanks for update. For comparison, we live in Southern Ontario, Canada, not near Toronto. Avg. costs per month in Canadian dollars: Electric $120, Natural Gas $70, Water $125, Internet $90, Property Tax for a single family home similar in size to your $650, Property Insurance $180, Car Insurnacr for 2 cars $125, Groceries $700 for family of 4. We don't have a mortgage or any other debt, but others typically pay $2000 to $5000 per month for rent or mortgage and $500 to $1000 for a car loan or lease. No health care costs as we have a public system in Canada. You guys are living cheap... don't skimp on your health care coverage
Adam, what would it cost for a house like yours with AC to go completely off-grid? Would it be better to have a well built small space for batteries and inverter and roof solar panels?🤔🇬🇧
Good morning my friend. We can't send personal details unfortunately as we said at the time. There are lots of agents who can help though in Ormoc City 😊
I see some American expats vlog that Living in Philippines is much lower cost of living compare thier country.... Is Philippines really an Ideal place for expats?
It can be. If you live the high life so to speak then living costs here are almost on par with some western countries. If you live a little more local then it's far cheaper here. Have a great day my friend 😊
Depends where you live?? Be careful with scammer like getting girlfriend, some of them are married. Get travel insurance, take vacation for 2 months during Jan. and Feb. where climate is not too hot, enjoy first and research, observe the local, Manila is expensive to stay longer, but all the western amenities and better Healthcare is there, but you have to pay the price. Research and have a good network, with the blogger in the Philippines.
Couples tend to rely too heavily on their general savings to cover impending costs such as, 1: Purchasing land. 2: Land clearing, wall construction, deep well/quality pump and house build. 3: Procurement of furniture and appliances. 4: Cost of solar and backup generator. 5: Purchase of motorbike and/or a Car if in the province. 6: Well-funded medical savings account as your health care plan means nothing in the Philippines. 7: Cost to establish star link, water, cooking gas cylinders, can goods and gasoline or diesel stock in case of a Typhoon. Sit down as a couple and have intelligent conversations, establish realistic plans-goals-timelines and then execute using patience and salary earning dollars instead of pension/savings dollars.
100% it's the UK. Mortgages and rent are far higher not to mention energy costs and gasoline. If someone had a house with no debts and were off grid in the UK then it could be quite similar in living costs though 😊
We are lucky to live here how we do too and money certainly does not mean you live like a king. Why is it important to you to feel this way? I'm just curious. We live a very fulfilling lifestyle here and couldn't be happier. We have everything we have ever needed in life.
We did. Prices where we live are not dropping. You are talking about condos in Manila where there is an over supply. The Philippines is far more than one place. We live here and have first hand knowledge of such things.
I spend about 80,000 pesos a month, 2 bedrooms near the centre of Cebu city with 2 massive swimming pools. Rent 21k…2 of us, none smoking with the occasional drink.🍷
Some constructive criticism… you give very precise figures for rent (I know you own) and utilities, but then go into a vague discussion on food and completely dismiss education and medical costs… all are variable and I think people understand it depends on personal factors… so my criticism is that you should just be consistent. Otherwise all you said was “we spend 35k on stuff and looks like we are going to spend more”. For example, for us in Metro Manila: 2 people, 1 bedroom condo per month Rent: 20,000 Electricity (2ac units): 3300 Water: 250 Groceries: 20,000 Eating out: 10,000 Transport (public no car/bike): 1000 Visa: 2000 Private medical: 3500 After that it’s all for travel. November in Hong Kong cost 100,000 for the 2 of us for example
We said education and medical are impossible to quote for as are completely dependant on individual situation and circumstances. Education can be free but can also be as much as 200,000 per semester. Medical can also be completely different due to age, pre existing conditions and level of cover required. These are a case of how long is a piece of string. There is no individual answer. Also what we spend has no relevance to anyone else as their situation and circumstances will be different. We don't give a figure as everyone would need to do due diligence first in these areas and factor them into their own budget. We said at the start this was our budget and how much we spent but giving precise figures helps no one therefore we covered the important ones. We also don't give advice and some people look for very specific figures before moving. That can never be done due to inflation, variations and change of circumstances. Living here for 4 years we have done far more than we even show in our vlogs and have experience of virtually everything here.

@Asia-p1p3b and yet you still fail to understand that everyone has their own budget and everyone's is relevant. Do you not understand this video is about our budget? Try watching instead of just reading comments.
I have watched lots of different people doing these UA-cam videos, most are people who are living day by day no fancy stuff like you guys have, she looks like she has never had a hard day in her life and looks a bit stuck up , what you guys have you may aswel as stayed back in your European country lol
@martinsmith6666 you completely misjudged us. Not a hard day in her life? Trying actually watching and listening to our vlogs to understand before making such untrue and frankly stupid comments. Jane grew up in the Philippines and worked hard. Of course you judged her. Did you know she built the house from the money she earned working? Do you know of health issues she has had for many years now? Do you know she works hard everyday in the garden and beyond helping family members? No, you just make assumptions and show everyone who you really are. I'm surprised you had the courage to use your real profile with name and picture...

I'm looking right now here in Ormoc and I am seeing places from 7k to 30k. Depending on what your budget is and what you're looking for is the factor. We don't need much considering we are living in a room at her parents house deep in the province. I run my aircon 24 hours a day in our room and our electric bill was 3400 pesos for the month. But we àre ready to get our own place in the next few months.
I lived in Ormoc Baybay Inopacan No way in hell. Palawan is the best with Malls Hospitals and site seeing free for
Locals.
Hats off to you. Sounds like you have a great situation and have it figured out and a beautiful woman by your side
Thank you so much my friend. Have a great day 😊
After the last month in Hilongos, we worked out our expenses to be P36K. Our electricity was P3580 including running 2 of our 4 aircon units- Living Room one most of the day and our bedroom one at night.
Thank you for reminding to pay for my visa. Have to take a trip to immigration in Tacloban and pay my 310 peso for my 13A visa. I have had it for 14 years.
It's the best overall visa and most cost effective in my opinion for people wanting to stay long term.
Best deal, as long the U.S. dollar exchange rate is good
I was just in Tacloban catching a plane. Drove from there to Calbayog on what has to be the worst road I’ve ever been on. When it got dark it was really dangerous. On the way back to Tacloban we left early so not nearly as bad a drive. Wish I had more time on Samar Island.
@@papadougpapadougsadventures the roads can be pretty challenging. Blink and you go into a ditch... or at least it feels like it at times. Samar is a beautiful place. We went once and can't wait to return again 😊
@@papadougpapadougsadventures it's fun in the Philippines!! You'll never know the surprises, You are visiting the Philippines islands, what do you expect ??. Flat and smooth road??? Come on!!
I also have the Bluetti ac300 and 4 b300 batteries along with the ac200 that I connected to my home panel and now we are off grid here in Negros. The bluetti stuff is rock solid. Been using for a couple years now!! Thanks for the video!!
Wow that's amazing. We are thinking of going off grid too! Just need a bit of an upgrade in terms of panels but Bluetti has really been a life changer living here. Have a great weekend 😊
We are moving to the Philippines 🇵🇭 later this year luckily we have our own home which was built 2 years ago.
My first job will be to fit solar panels and A/C in the living room, we are looking forward to it especially spending Christmas 🎄 in the Philippines.
@@captscarlet17 good luck my friend and that first Christmas will feel so special. Have a wonderful day 😊
Great vid
Thanks for sharing the info.
You’re welcome! Hope it helps.
Life is good, have a wonderful and loving day to all
Thank you so much guys. Hope everything is ok and Papa is recovering well. Have a great weekend 😊
It is nice to live your life...Yes.
Hi Adam and Jane you’ve adopted so quickly were you are a peaceful and relaxing life your new subscriber from the uk from Swindon county ❤
Thank you so much my friend. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Your right friends! I live in the deep jungle of Mindanao Island! Seven people in my home. We spend 100,000 per month! And we have NO rent or electricity costs! We have solar, but electricity rate here is about 6 pesos per kilowatt hour! That 100,000 per month is for EVERYTHING! Including taxes, licenses, permits, food, repairs auto and home, fuel, propane etc etc! 😊🙏🏻
That's amazing! 7 people in the home and 100,000 pesos per month... it's truly inspiring. You've got a very good system going.
@ Thanks friend! Seven people 100% of the time and up to twelve or 13 from time to time. Many Filipino bothers, sisters and nieces and nephews visit often! I don’t feel like I’m an ATM. I feel like I’m the head of a large family! 😊🙏🏻
A very elegant woman your wife is. I appreciate how ground you both appear to be. My electric bill runs around $55 per month with a few months hitting under $80 per month. I use a wood burner in the winter and my wood thus far has been free other than my time and labor.
It sounds like you have a good system going for your utilities and use of resources! Have a great day my friend 😊
I'm sending 70k a month to my elderly parents luving in Bicol, including their meds, house rental, etc. Living costs in the Philippines have skyrocketed. 😢
Hopefully things will stabilise and even reduce in cost my friend. God bless you and your family 🙏
Anywhere you go has inflation, at least you live in paradise
Better save money for yourself. You are not getting younger!! Just a reminder!!
When we getting old, health, exercise and traveling, is the priority if you have savings for this!!!
seems very high...
When Jane doesn't wear a makeup, she is sooo naturally beautiful. And when she wears a makeup, she becomes like a real beauty pageant queen celebrity, very beautiful face and physique. Adam of course is also very handsome. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend. Have a great day 😊
Planting vegetables and fruits tress if you own land raising livestock in the Philippines is the way to go. Just don’t get sick
100% agree my friend. Have a great day 😊
👍👍
A big chunk of the budget in the Philippines goes to food. That says a lot about the state of the country's agriculture today when land is in the hands of more owners - inefficient. It was not this way in the recent past when land was a bit more consolidated. For a family with less than modest means, the little produce from a garden like what you have will really go a long way in stretching the food budget.
It's my understanding Almond Milk is a rip-off supposedly only 1 almond in an 8 ounce cup.
Nice conversation!
Yes, it's very weak and low in almonds. We are going to start making our own as almonds are available from shopee and it's far more cost effective in the long run.
I've been watching many videos for about 3 years now and cost of living over there in many areas. Outside the big cities always is cheaper. There are frugal Americans who I know are living there retired on tourist visas quite comfortably for about $900 USD in essentials monthly. Rent included in $80 / mo. apartments they remodeled to their standards on long term leases. Added AC paint flush toilets..... and made them very comfortable ! Several are in Trace Martires / area - only an hour S of Manila Airport. Great location for access to Manila w/o the big expense. They are very small but a nice ''homebase'' for those who like to travel a lot. Travel expenses are extra & over the $900 amount. A nice enough life however for any expat who wants a relaxed retirement. Everything needed is easily obtained in that area. - - - Other frugal but comfortable examples exist in Lipa City on $800 budgets - a bit farther away from the big city. - - - Nice thing about the Philippines is that you can have almost any budget you require or desire. > Location --&-- Lifestyle will determine the cost. 👍🙏✌👋👌🍺
Adam thanks for the blog on those blocks of land in Leyte, im considering a move from Australia to Leyte so any condo, land, townhouse, house blogs are greatly appreciated. Im thinking to rent for the first year and decide from there whats best. Hope one day we can meet up for lunch ive been watching your channel for a few years.
Cheers joe
We will definitely make some more videos on these topics. Have a great day! 😊
we're renting a big 2 bedroom with parking and small area for a garten,, on the way to Bagong Buhay for 15K.. we frequent the local Ormoc market as you do primarily for fresh fruit and veggies.. no aircon installed or tv,, and our electric has always been under 1k monthly for the 6 months we've been here.. we're also a family of 3 and we easily manage to keep our expenses below 50k,, but about every other month we also help a family member pay for some sort of issue.. it's not utopia,, but our complaints are minor..
Thanks for the upload… really interesting information. It’s funny, depending on who you watch will depend on whether you believe you’ll need $1000, $2000 or more per month. But as you say, living a quiet family life in the province is totally different to partying every night in BGC.
I suppose that’s the value of a CoL video - it’s for those whose lifestyle matches (as close as possible) the up-loaders.

Thank you my friend. Have a great day 😊
Latest news: There is a condo crash now in condos in Metro Manila where condo prices and condo rental prices went does. You can rent a 1 bedroom condo in Mandaluyong, Ortigas, in Manila and Quezon City, in Alabang and Pasay City, in Makati hopefully BGC also for 10,000 pesos. This is due to oversupply of comdos in the Philippines and they are still building more condo buildings in the city. This is now the right time to buy a condo in the city, especially in Manila central business districts the conveniences there like malls restaurants boutiques markets et cetera are within walkable reach. This is all over the news now on TVs and here in UA-cam.
Great info my friend. We had heard about it and it is very useful to many people wanting to visit here or buy a condo. It's certainly an appealing place to live 😊
My wife is from Cebu and we reside in NE Texas. We live well in a very large house with a lot of toys. House is kept at 72 degrees 365 days a year. Also have unlimited hot water showers. In Peso's it's about $300,000.00 a month. Taxes and insurances are the biggest expenses.
It’s definitely a different lifestyle to living here in the Philippines! 😊
Thanks for sharing,
You're welcome my friend 😊
Overall expenses in BG is at least 2500 and up I've watched from other bloggers. Thats with travelling. But there are expats there that spends 5,000 US dollars.
Most Filipinos can not afford your lifestyle yet you are aware and keeping expenses within your agreed budget. That tells me that you are better off given that your money is more valuable than the Philippines pesos that most people earned. Just enjoy your daily life. And when you spend money, other locals benefit from you. Thank you
@@neck2011 this guy's got money
@Asia-p1p3b of course we have money otherwise we wouldn't have been able to move, build a house etc. we worked hard for our money. We never would move without financial backup and noone should which is the point of videos like this.
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle so you want to flaunt it in your viewers faces?
@Asia-p1p3b flaunt? You must be joking. Our budget is modest compared to many people. If you are offended by anything then that's a reflection of your own insecurities. We don't flaunt. We live life based on our budget. Nothing more, nothing less.
I look at it as information. That is all for me
As someone who will be moving to the Philippines from the UK in the next few years, I found this video really interesting. Great job guys and although I don't comment lots, I love watching you share your life there ☺
I love Jane and Adam too!!
But for me ,she is a beauty Queen.
Always sweet, calm, polite, a very royale pers
onality and beautiful !!
While I,am watch ing your videos I always feel so peaceful.
I,ve noticed you,re happy together.
God have blessed you.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck and have a wonderful weekend my friend 😊
Thank you so much 😊
I m a filipina, my husband is us citizen, we r moving to Philippines this year.
In Masbate the electricity is not very expensive but only when there is no brownout.... Unfortunately in the last years brownout was a daily problem that we decided going off grid with solar... This was the best decision and we pay now zero electric and zero water because we have our own deep well. If you buy food from the local market it is still okay. I think that is a global problem and always complaining doesn't reduce the prices. The positive side where we live is that almost no foreigners are living here who bring prices up because they always say that it's cheap....
Costs are rising here in Thailand also! What is visa situation in Philippines? Renewals etc!❤?
From what we have heard the tourist visas for example are still operating as usual but with only a 1 or 2 month extension available rather than 6 months. Not sure if this is a long term change or if the 6 month comes back. Spouse and retirement visas are the same though 😊
Lots of pandemic city escapees apparently. The main expectation one has to understand is that living in the province requires a very high level of self-reliance to achieve what you need to live there. Not difficult but just very raw conditions, minimal infrastructure, wilderness environment, it can feel very isolated, but you quickly realize that is better than living in a provincial community with lots of loud people and animals around you (Karaoke morning and evenings lol). I myself moved, literally dropped everything and was afraid of unreasonably overreaching rules and mandates controlling my day-to-day in the city and the impending sense of the high-population descending into a scarcity mindset in a confined urban location setting in. Luckily I had an old piece of property about 12acres I acquired a few years back and immediately built a guest house to accommodate my stay while I acclimatized to my new location on Guimaras Island. Took a year living there to study and plan for the main residence, sun exposures, seasonal effects that sort of thing, and used that experience to create an appropriate living setup. You can work on the sustainability aspect once you have your basics ready.
Hello Adam, I’m currently in Leyte too. Over in Polompon, what area are you in? Keep up the great videos.
Good morning my friend. We are in Ormoc City. Have a great day 😊
Your Spending is Awesome 😎, I bet your budget is 1/3 my Corporate Budget,
But that includes 2 farms A Condo, and a big home with AC, I budget 7000 just for Power bill, Most times for House, it’s 5500-5800 with AC, Leyte Island is off the charts, Our groceries are double yours, And we do price shop for sales,
Thank you for the Video, it has inspired me to cut costs. I have lived here 5 years,
Even high budget for the whole Corporation it’s 1/3 of US Costs.
God Bless
Thanks for sharing, it's great to compare and see how costs are so much different in different places. Have a wonderful weekend my friend 😊
Hello Adam and Jane. I am planning to buy a 3 bedrm 3 or 4 bathroom House with a swimming pool. Land size up to 750sq.mtrs and internal up to 300sq.mtrs.
Adam could you please estimate how much annual Phillipine property tax i would have to pay. Single storey please. Also is there local council tax to pay? Also will the Phillipine government tax me on my UK Gov State Pension and my Local Gov workplace pension when i do an International Bank transfer? Will i be taxed on the money from the sale of my private house in Scotland?
I am 70 year old pensioner and i am already taxed in the UK on both pensions.
Thank You Adam for any information that you can provide.
Good luck my friend, it's a great plan. Sorry but it's impossible to estimate the land tax as it would depend on the land zoning rates etc they can vary drastically depending on type of land. We wouldn't be able to advise about tax as everyone's situation is different. Generally you wouldn't be taxed twice on the same income as there is a tax treaty between the Philippines and UK.
Water and electricity is expensive, if your house is big and watering plants, still cheaper compared to Western countries!! No snow, if you like to see snow, go to Japan or Taiwan or China.
Prices of solar equipment has gone down. Panels not so much. The power wall battery and hybrid inverter is almost half as much from 3 years ago. 50k a month is not much. It's more like 100k because there is always something that comes up.
Place an electric fan, outside while taking video to avoid the flies and mosquitoes in your face, flying around, they don’t like the breeze
Here in Bacolod City i pay 12k a month for electricity but we do have a few appliances going with that .. ❤
Have a great weekend my friend 😊
Happy New Year! Great videos, great life, great family, happy simple tranquil life, so much serenity and calmness, nature, rural life, it is a beautiful life. Keep it up. I can't wait for Isabella to join the national pageant and soon international pageants, so many opportunities; Miss Earth, Miss World, Miss International, Miss Universe claim it now! I believe she is ready.
Thank you very much! We appreciate all of your positive comments. 🙏
My rent just south of Manila in Imus, Cavite is 25,000 P a month for a single house 3 story, 5 br, 3 ba, for 6 adults and a small child.❤
Regarding your question about rent. Me and my wife are renting a nice 3 bedroom house with a CR, 75sqm, gates, dirty kitchen and newly renovated in Quezon province for 7K per month. Electric bill last month was 697 pesos (no need for aircon), Internet 1000 and water 235 pesos.
Thank you my friend. Have a great week 😊
I think a lot of viewers would be interested in knowing how much you have spent for your house so far. The purchase of the land, the initial construction, maintainance, repairs and renovations, both inside the house and in the garden. If you take that total and divide it by( p30K x 12 months = p360K) you can calculate how many years you could have rented for that price. Then everyone can make out for themselves what suits them best, as the choice to buy or rent may depend on so many considerations that are different for everyone.
Thanks Paul for a wonderful idea and it's something we have been meaning to do. Have a wonderful weekend. March is just around the corner now 😊
$500 - $650 per month for a family of three sounds reasonable to live a comfortable middle class Filipino life. That's if you own your own house, exclude healthcare insurance, buy your meat and produce from a local market, eat and live like locals, no booze and extravagant eating out, and mostly use local transportation.
We buy our meat from supermarkets, have healthcare, eat out several times a month, own and maintain a car and can still do it on our budget. It's pretty easy to stick to and we are disciplined. A budget doesn't dictate a class of living though as it's not income. If someone spends all of their income they don't build savings for a contingency or move forward with any plans they have for life. Have a good day my friend 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle Wow, You do such a good job managing your finances. Very well disciplined. I'm impressed. :)
Thats good for 3 people
Philippine Statistics Authority says inflation rate from 2021 to 2024 is 4, 6, 6, 3, an even 20% average rise in cost. That explains your monthly P35k lower middle class budget change to P50k middle middle class budget increase.
Things definitely have gone up in price my friend but budgets don't determine class. Income does... but not always. Someone with no income can still be considered high or middle class and someone with higher income could still be considered lower class. There are many different factors when determining class. Assets, investments, overall wealth, income, debts...
Hi Adam, what province do you live in the Philippines?my wife is Filipina and we’re planning to live somewhere in the Philippines nice and comfy environment.
Im always watching you guys.
Im from California.
Good day my friend! We are in Ormoc City, Leyte. Have a great weekend 😊
Thanks. I want to move back to Carcar City - Cebu soon. I hope that she will get a scholarship for college. That can help a lot with the budget. Apply in advance / Anders Hasselroth
we same expenses here sometimes i do groceries amounting 30k good for 1 month except the meralco and water lol yes now we save aircon becoz its cold now a days since DEC UP TO NOW THINK THATS UNTI MARCH HERE IN OUR PLACE SO BEFORE MY ELECTRIC IS 10K NOW ITS ONLY 7K SAVE 3K WATER NOT CHANGE COZ WE HAVE HEATER SO STILL 2,500, MAYBE THIS 2025 WE NEED TO SAVE AND THRIFTY LOL BUT NOT IN OUR SELF SPECIALLY THE FOODS WE TAKE THATS IMPORTANT TO OUR BODY TO BE STRONG AND HEALTHY ATLEAST U HAVE GARDEN WITH FRUITS AND SOME VEGIES.. YES I BUY ALSO IN THE LOCAL MARKET NOT IN THE MALL..SEE U IN UR NEXT VLOG I LOVE U GUYS IM HAPPY TO SEE AGAIN INGAT
God bless you my good friend. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
Which parts of the Philippines have the best fruits?
Almost everywhere my friend. To grow you need usually an elevated lot but it is dependant on the type of fruit 😊
It's getting scary with prices. Another 2.5 years before I can move there so who knows what prices will be like then.
It has gone up a lot and seems everyone follows suit once one puts up their price. It's not sustainable the level of increases and most likely will stabilise soon. Inflation in most countries has come down a lot. God bless you my friend 😊
Seriously, how much do people budget for medical coverage? How large of emergency savings or insurance policy maxes do folks go with?
Approximatley where are you in Leyte? I live in Tacloban built a house 3 yrs ago and am looking for some land to buy further out and would love to not need a/c
We are in Ormoc City my friend 😊
Ok I appreciate the reply, It's interresting you are in Ormoc, My pastor and I were just talking about that area earlier today. He said it is very beautiful and more, (updated), I guess is a good way to ssy it, than Tacloban is. Ok, again tha ks for the reply. I will go check that area out next time I come to Philipines. Have to head back to the U.S. for work next week. Stay safe and have a great New Year
@keithhane973 thanks. Have a fantastic year too and safe travels always 😊
The bluetti is not easy to transport. How much did it cost you?
There is a link in the video description my friend 😊
Thanks for update. For comparison, we live in Southern Ontario, Canada, not near Toronto. Avg. costs per month in Canadian dollars: Electric $120, Natural Gas $70, Water $125, Internet $90, Property Tax for a single family home similar in size to your $650, Property Insurance $180, Car Insurnacr for 2 cars $125, Groceries $700 for family of 4. We don't have a mortgage or any other debt, but others typically pay $2000 to $5000 per month for rent or mortgage and $500 to $1000 for a car loan or lease. No health care costs as we have a public system in Canada.
You guys are living cheap... don't skimp on your health care coverage
Adam, what would it cost for a house like yours with AC to go
completely off-grid?
Would it be better to have a well built small space for batteries and inverter and roof solar panels?🤔🇬🇧
The cost would depend on expected usage rather than the size of the house my friend. It wouldn't be too much in the scale of things though 😊
❤
Do you mind mentioning what you do for a living? Are you retired? Do you have an income? Income for your future?
Thank you.
We are retired my friend 😊
A few months ago you said you would send me details of health insurance for the over 70's. I'm almost 75 now and live in Bato, Leyte.
What are your health insurance rates?
@trevr1969 I'm asking them.
Good morning my friend. We can't send personal details unfortunately as we said at the time. There are lots of agents who can help though in Ormoc City 😊
Price of land are also not the same. If you buy land in a subdivision or near the city, sure it's expensive.
Absolutely! Land can vary so much in price. Have a great weekend my friend 😊
👍👍👍
Have a great weekend my friend 😊
Please say in Pecos and then in American dollars , it just gets confusing
Brian the Lion says he’s living in BGC for only $600 US per month - though his place is more designed for a single or couple only, not a family.
It can be done. It really can. Have a great day my friend 😊
I see some American expats vlog that Living in Philippines is much lower cost of living compare thier country.... Is Philippines really an Ideal place for expats?
It can be. If you live the high life so to speak then living costs here are almost on par with some western countries. If you live a little more local then it's far cheaper here. Have a great day my friend 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle thank you for positive feedback
@ToKos-x4i no problem at all 😊
Depends where you live?? Be careful with scammer like getting girlfriend, some of them are married. Get travel insurance, take vacation for 2 months during Jan. and Feb. where climate is not too hot, enjoy first and research, observe the local, Manila is expensive to stay longer, but all the western amenities and better Healthcare is there, but you have to pay the price. Research and have a good network, with the blogger in the Philippines.
Couples tend to rely too heavily on their general savings to cover impending costs such as, 1: Purchasing land. 2: Land clearing, wall construction, deep well/quality pump and house build. 3: Procurement of furniture and appliances. 4: Cost of solar and backup generator. 5: Purchase of motorbike and/or a Car if in the province. 6: Well-funded medical savings account as your health care plan means nothing in the Philippines. 7: Cost to establish star link, water, cooking gas cylinders, can goods and gasoline or diesel stock in case of a Typhoon. Sit down as a couple and have intelligent conversations, establish realistic plans-goals-timelines and then execute using patience and salary earning dollars instead of pension/savings dollars.
@@KrayPurn which couples do this my friend? Is it from your experience? Just curious if this is shared from your personal experience.
I give back a question with you guys, Which is higher cost of living, living in UK or Living in Philippines?
100% it's the UK. Mortgages and rent are far higher not to mention energy costs and gasoline. If someone had a house with no debts and were off grid in the UK then it could be quite similar in living costs though 😊
Uk is crazy and getting worse
I consider myself lucky here to live a top western lifestyle with my lady. But I try to keep it under $7000 US Monthly. Live like a king or go home.
We are lucky to live here how we do too and money certainly does not mean you live like a king. Why is it important to you to feel this way? I'm just curious. We live a very fulfilling lifestyle here and couldn't be happier. We have everything we have ever needed in life.
Watch the news …. Prices are dropping for rent. Do your show prep. Before filming….cheers
We did. Prices where we live are not dropping. You are talking about condos in Manila where there is an over supply. The Philippines is far more than one place. We live here and have first hand knowledge of such things.
I often say--Budget? What budget? Money in--money out and hope you have something left at the end of the month. Enough said.
That can often be true too my friend! We have blown the budget can sometimes be heard 🤣 have a great day 😊
I spend about 80,000 pesos a month, 2 bedrooms near the centre of Cebu city with 2 massive swimming pools. Rent 21k…2 of us, none smoking with the occasional drink.🍷
Some constructive criticism… you give very precise figures for rent (I know you own) and utilities, but then go into a vague discussion on food and completely dismiss education and medical costs… all are variable and I think people understand it depends on personal factors… so my criticism is that you should just be consistent. Otherwise all you said was “we spend 35k on stuff and looks like we are going to spend more”. For example, for us in Metro Manila:
2 people, 1 bedroom condo per month
Rent: 20,000
Electricity (2ac units): 3300
Water: 250
Groceries: 20,000
Eating out: 10,000
Transport (public no car/bike): 1000
Visa: 2000
Private medical: 3500
After that it’s all for travel. November in Hong Kong cost 100,000 for the 2 of us for example
We said education and medical are impossible to quote for as are completely dependant on individual situation and circumstances. Education can be free but can also be as much as 200,000 per semester. Medical can also be completely different due to age, pre existing conditions and level of cover required. These are a case of how long is a piece of string. There is no individual answer. Also what we spend has no relevance to anyone else as their situation and circumstances will be different. We don't give a figure as everyone would need to do due diligence first in these areas and factor them into their own budget.
We said at the start this was our budget and how much we spent but giving precise figures helps no one therefore we covered the important ones. We also don't give advice and some people look for very specific figures before moving. That can never be done due to inflation, variations and change of circumstances. Living here for 4 years we have done far more than we even show in our vlogs and have experience of virtually everything here.

Nut milks are horrible for you.
Please tell me you don't b seeing many snakes please
We do see snakes but it's not as common as everyone thinks. We do have cats and that helps a lot.
@AdamandJanesLifestyle wow thanks. I visited my in laws in the province good amount of times. Always dreaded seeing snake. Now I am more hesitant to go.i never saw dangerous snakes before in real aaaahhhh
Seems very affordable. Last time I was in Manila I had to pay a 3000 peso bribe to get my passport back!
It can be affordable to live here my friend ☺️
Korekek ...
Let her take exams in state university
philippines is cheap for forigners compare to filipinos because there wages enough for bills food polluction bad in the cities now yes everything cheaper but to live there no thanx most forigners want to live in the philippines easier life and filipinos want to go western world
I'm sorry but the cost of living is so played out.Too many factors
Played out? We have no idea what you mean. This is our budget based on how we live and our factors. Maybe you didn't watch?
@AdamandJanesLifestyle the subject of costs of living is talked about 300000 rimes by vloggerd
@Asia-p1p3b and yet you still fail to understand that everyone has their own budget and everyone's is relevant. Do you not understand this video is about our budget? Try watching instead of just reading comments.
YES ALMOND MILK IS EXPENSIVE BUT WE DRINK THAT HERE COZ ITS GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH
even where ever you go is to expensive you have to tight your budget
I have watched lots of different people doing these UA-cam videos, most are people who are living day by day no fancy stuff like you guys have, she looks like she has never had a hard day in her life and looks a bit stuck up , what you guys have you may aswel as stayed back in your European country lol
@martinsmith6666 you completely misjudged us. Not a hard day in her life? Trying actually watching and listening to our vlogs to understand before making such untrue and frankly stupid comments. Jane grew up in the Philippines and worked hard. Of course you judged her. Did you know she built the house from the money she earned working? Do you know of health issues she has had for many years now? Do you know she works hard everyday in the garden and beyond helping family members? No, you just make assumptions and show everyone who you really are. I'm surprised you had the courage to use your real profile with name and picture...
Water and electricity is expensive, if your house is big and watering plants, still cheaper compared to Western countries!! No snow, if you like to see snow, go to Japan or Taiwan or China.
Electricity cost is still low my friend as it's dependent on usage. Water cost is low too. Both are very affordable here 😊
