Whats YOUR cost of living?
Great interview Evan...Congrats to Anthony and his family on the move!
Thanks again for everything, Evan! Cebu has the island-city vibe I was after! Family has been poolside since I arrived. Turns out the condo is on a resort and we get treated like resort guest! 😂 Absolutely amazing! 🎉
Goodluck there in Cebu! No doubt your family will adjust well 👍planning to visit there next year
@anthonyseo, I am from Seattle and we are moving to the Philippines later in July. Would you be open to connecting and sharing stories? I also have worked for Microsoft as a consultant.
I can't wait to retire in the Philippines because life for me is much netter there. I won't have to pay any rent and the only thing that I'm thinking about doing is going solar so that I can save on electricity in our house. With rent being that high in major US cities it makes life very difficult to survive but in the Philippines you can live life like the rich do in the US. Well maybe not as good as the rich but life would be very nice living off of 4k USD a month in the Philippines. I like the province life over the city life because things are cheaper. Yes things are more convenient than in the province but that's fine with me.
You cant really run AC on solar.
In your province is their running water for bathrooms and hot showers or do you have to sacrifice that?
@@GUITARTIME2024Did you read that on the Internet?
Who needs hot water in the Philippines except for coffee?@@I_Need_Travel-mw3st
Solar is a joke in the Philippines. We did it and a complete waste of money. With substandard inverters, controllers and labor cost, be very careful. I'm now just using Meralco with a voltage regulator and energy efficient appliances.
Thanks for a great intro to the Philippines, relocating there after summer and this seems promising 😊
Way to go Evan, great interview and highlighting your services
Great interview!
I shrank my rent from $1,400 a month (east coast USA) to $100 in the Philippines. Shrank my food bill too. Pretty much all my bills except electric are greatly reduced.
In this heat this guy is gonna miss those thick Seattle clouds. Now is the time to move before kids have high school friends.
Semper Fi brother! 🫡
Great interview
American dream. Make dollars spend pesos.
Yup the next American dream!😄
Hey Evan! Wonderful video and great to see another expat Dad from Seattle - does your expat relocation service cover other locations like Davao, for example?
New sub ! Looking forward for more of this 👍
Welcome! 😊
everyday im hustling...everyday Im hustling....hustlin...hustlin...
Super easy to just get up and move there but ONLY IF you have a remote job
Agreed, I’m blessed to have full military pension of over 5k a month tax free! But my wife and I have kids, can’t just up and leave because there isn’t much of a future there for them in P.I.
@@Jhorne84they can work in the Us later on I’m Guessing . College is cheaper, probably end up with no loan too.
I paid $3,200 a month in Bethesda Maryland, but i didn't have flies and mosquitoes inside my condo even while always having the windows closed, constant construction on the same floor and above me despite living in three different premier condos in Cebu.
Also everywhere else i've lived in the world i'm able to go outside anytime of the day or year and get some exercising in.
Here in cebu between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. it's way too hot to even walk outside for more than 15 minutes.
I love the social and dating environment here (and in this regard i really do live like a king) don't get me wrong but sometimes there is a reason things are more expensive.
I favor the trifecta or quad factor approach where you have multiple homes around the world.
The lack of an active lifestyle and low quality food in the philippines is a big down.
I will also add that it took 4 months of extensive searching in Cebu to find a condo with decent enough internet (> 300mbps) and again it's not stable (the philippines still has the worst internet in Asia).
People need to understand that you will make concessions and sometimes there is a reason why places are cheaper.
Thanks for sharing. What do you do to stay busy if it's so hot all the time?
@@I_Need_Travel-mw3st Usually 1-2 domestic staycation/island trip per month, plus one luxury international trip per 6-8 weeks. Active dating and social life. When I'm not traveling usually a 30 mins zone two workout in the AM and weights/HIIT at a public gym in the evening.
@@I_Need_Travel-mw3st They keep deleting my reply sorry
@@wanderingdoc5075 that's unfortunate but thanks!
I’ve watched your content since the beginning. I appreciate your succinct description of how life is in the PI. I’m curious to know if 5k US is enough to “live like a king” for a household of two while living in BGC OR Makati.
Dude those are nice shoes
🙀
❤️🇵🇭💯💙🇵🇭💯
Rent in any undeveloped countries is a lot cheaper than in develop countries. It boils down to your income level. Retire in develop country if you can afford it.
I can easily afford to retire in a developed country but prefer to be in SE Asia.
@@robocop581 It's a choice. For the majority, it's not.
@@JunRoss-pp3mvWho cares. Like I said, I picked SE Asia. Just like today, I was at the Podium Mall at 9pm on a Monday and the place was still busy. Over in Canada, malls are closed at 6pm from M-Thurs and restaurants at 9pm. Boring
I am considering moving my family to cebu as well . Which international school?
I posted this (I live in Cebu). Maybe it will be useful to you.

@@wanderingdoc5075 Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I've been to the Philippines over 10 times with my family. We don't eat low quality food. I play tennis outdoors in the daytime while I'm there. Me and my family are outdoors exploring during the day also. There's good and bad everywhere in the world. However, anybody who's been to the Philippines knows life is much better there.
You're not getting the same pay in Manila as you do in Seattle. Hopefully you don't experience a catastrophic medical situation since you're not covered in the Philippines.
@@anthonyseo Who the fuck are you talking about?
do you even know this person? How do you know about his coverage? I’m sure Evan is assisting w/ that. Moreover, he had one of the best coverages when he was working at Microsoft and he is a father; don’t you think that is a priority for him? I’m sure he has that covered.
@mikefranks4528 I don't need to know that person to know he has no medical coverage in the Philippines. Unless you're a citizen, they're not covered except if he buys private medical insurance which will cost him around $3000. I have a residence in BGC and travel to the country on business frequently. I do have family in Manila. BTW, what coverage at MS? He left his supposed $12k/month job and relies on his army pension of $2600. At least watch the video before commenting so you don't post stupid comments.
@@rspcoach619 He is happy now dumb. Living in US alone & away from friends & family is depressing. We all die anyway.
@@rspcoach619I doubt his health insurance will cost him $3,000 for his family. That’s more than here in the U.S. But you do have a point, he needs insurance for his family. I’m sure he’s figured that out though.
Don’t disrespect Seattle! Life is great here… Sure we’ve got some cloudy days, but it just makes us appreciate the sunny ones all the more. And we don’t get as much rain as everyone thinks we do. And with climate change… This is going to be a great place to live. While the rest of the country is sweltering, or having snowstorms, and wildfires and windstorms and hailstorms, we’ve got a nice temperate climate. And one more thing… We have the fourth highest Filipino population in the United States.😊 OK, my rant is over!😊
It rains more in New York City
Ikr...I 💙 Seattle and I miss it a lot!
So rent is basically free in the Philippines if ur American? 😂
14:15 and still don't know his ethnic background. He could be Filipino because he has no reservation of the climate.
He looks like Korean
He look piony🤭😅 too what the heck
Evan, there are two good impediments to living in the Philippines: a) the Philippines government has put the country into the dangerous nexus of a war between the US and China; b) the intense heat and humidity as in much of Asia makes it very difficult for so many of us to adjust to life in a place like the Philippines.
"How are you liking it so far". This is a biased question that forces the person answering to agree with the preconceived notion that they are liking something when it could be the complete opposite or just somewhat true.
