    Do you also live in the same town? I live in the US now but was born and raised in the Philippines. Being practical and thrifty are two important factors in surviving the Philippines. Living out in the country gives you more bang for your buck. Most Filipinos are kind, caring, courteus and educated. They would even treat you like family once you have earned their trust. I hope you find happiness living there.

    My family is from Davao del Norte! We built a beautiful home, the largest in the Barangay as well as a small 7 hecteres farm. We have plans to build another home near Davao City. i lived there full time for 4 years but have since moved back to the states with my Filipina wife of 11 years (now an American) and our 2 sons. i love his set up and reminds me of how we have ours. i love what we have in the Philippines and plan to do 50-50% between here in the states and there once we get our franchise up and running back in the states. i love seeing others doing well in the Philippines and sharing our love for it! Best of luck to Tim and Mark and all of y'all! ~Scott~

Mum used to get there early, and we had a fridge at home. Over the course of 2 years there, we weren't ill once.

      He isn't living on that budget. His wife owns her house, her cars, etc... And he didn't mention health care at all. I was in hospital. India Tacloban for 2 days. My bill was 36,000. Close to $800. I honestly feel if you dont have $1,800 to $2.000 per month, you will get in trouble. I earn $2,350 and own our home there free and clear. And we barely made it. And my wife is very thrifty. We are in usa for now. She is a nurse and we are saving money for a much better home there, and putting kids thru nursing school and medical school...aka our retirement. lol For me, its ideal to live in both places. Here until it snows, then there until it warms up here.

      Sorry but I won't have money for hospitals. But I don't have to have a lot of the things most Americans do. I'm fine with 1 room and a separate bathroom. I don't have to have electricity or running water. I lived completely off grid here in the U.S., no electricity, no running water, had to bring water from the creek, and run it through a filter. Grow my own vegetables and fruit. Also, I only want to live in the provinces. No city living for me.

    Always enjoy your videos! It just came to my mind to share that in my case and personal experience, though not religious, being a practitioner of Buddhism allows for sooooo much enjoyment in life on the bare minimum budget...by choice, not force. In other words, no fast/junk food, no alcohol, no drugs, no smoke (treating the body as "Gods temple") tends to equal plenty of money to do whatever you desire, wherever you live be it here in Wisconsin or there in Philippines. To top it off, love making is so much better, health excels, appreciation of nature and humankind abounds, living in the moment become easy, being aware is clear, there's lots more money, thoughtfulness, clear headedness and the like. Anyway, when there is a will, there is a way and cutting the junk often leads to enjoying a life few ever will doing so on less, even when you have more. All The Best from Wisconsin! Todd

    I've seen a lot of budget videos, and budgets vary wildly. Tim is on the high end & this guy is on the low end. As mentioned, he has everything paid for. I'm not there yet, but planning to have everything paid for before I arrive for good. Even with everything paid for, I can see my budget being on the high end. I watch a few vloggers that appear to just exist, and that's great if that's what they want. I can't just exist. Maybe I'll change when I get older

      When you reach a certain age existing is by far the most important thing in life. Father Time isn't impressed by material possessions.

    I have my mother’s house build really good. And we inherited land from my father. So someday retirement is good enough. I will be just paying food electric bills and fon etc. I can plant some vegetables and some stuff that I will enjoy . As long I have my family is very important. Even though long distance, but thanks to fb and social medyo a big help for connecting the families.

    We live in Samar and P5000 per month for domestic helper (5 days p/wk) is P250 per day... not high wages by any means (below min wage). That property is definitely worth more than $50k usd... probably twice that.

    Hello Tim and family. Lets say that 650 euros its not a lot in Slovenija! As far I understand 800 euros per month its still preety good for a pensioner to live. Current situation. In my opinion. For a simple person worker to live in Slovenija - 1500 euros per month. Have a beautiful day in the Philipines. Bye. Rudi.

    Top Vid!
    Love seeing these.
    Ill point Scotty to this vid so he can see first hand why never to buy a GoPro 😂 but seriously its the most frustrating thing ever to be in the middle of something exciting or get home and find the damn thing didnt record or wont turn on, DJI Osmo Action's for me from now on only I think.
    Well done Mark cheers for showing us your life in sunny Samar, id love to hear some commentary on Waray girls and how they are a bit different to other Filipina's, the whole hard headed, stubborn thing would have been good to know about before I got there and may help other hapless travelers in "them there parts".

      I primarily use it for the microphone which is good and the ability to go back and forth from selfie to forward looking. BUT. I always have my iphone 14 pro max as a backup as the last few scenes show. It did take 15 minutes of continuous filming in hot heat before it failed.
