You are up to 8.93k when I saw this video and it was only 5 months old. Good job. Do you have a club or patreon?
Best budgets i have seen for upper end living. You have some duplication on the Rock Star budget like $1,500 for food than $1,000 for S&R $3,000 for dating than $400 for girl friend , little high on the tips, won't need gym condo will have it, transportation high most likely will own a car , $1500 for golf i will pass. Keeping these things in mind ,you have done a great job. I think i live like a rock star and my budget is $7,100 per month . I was trying $4,500 a month but could not handle it. My monthly passive income still allows me to save a little every month .
Your spot on. if I take out of the rock star what I would not be doing It puts me right at the same level. Your in the top income earners in the country with that kind of money.
Thank You Man! I've been watching Expats on UA-cam for a couple years now. No one has given a "listed & comprehensive " breakdown. I'm now a subscriber.
I have seen literally hundreds of budgets videos and this one is by far the most in depth detailed budget video I have ever seen hats of to you sir
I like watching your videos Ace, but this one, I don’t know😂😂
Yes, this one is way off. In fact it's ridiculous 😂😂😂
As soon as I saw his #s I turned it off. This is crazy ace 🙄😂🙄
Thank you so much for all of your education sir. Really from the bottom of the heart, you have a great heart and soul for trying to get people to think objectively about this stuff.
Ace, I hope this youtube channel gets you to the Rock Star category! The content will be off the chain. Let's go!!
i dont, small channels make best content, once they hit big, it turns to something different
Realistically i'm thinking somewhere between Basic and Healthy
my strategy is eat rice all day every day and the rest blow on girls 😂😂😂
I lived in the Philippines 10 years plus, and your budgets don’t make any sense. I live on $2,300 dollars per month, or almost $27000 per year, and I’m very comfortable.
So, I am not taking up golf 😂 also I don’t drink… brings my rockstar budget down a little. Honestly, if I have the budget, I would still spend it, probably on traveling. Staying in one place, especially in a developing country, would get boring and or depressing for me.
Great video you did put a lot of work and effort into it.
It’s quite the big jump from Basic lol.
Great videos really advanced with the content! Keep up the hard work!!
Well done Ace. Best budget presentation i have seen .
Seems the categories should be between "Basic" and "Healthy", as "Rockstar" would be very few people in the US anyway.
Rockstars do have Groupies.........for Free
15k is crazy. I don't even know people in the U.S. that spends that much. That's 180k a year.
Found your views very interesting I have been back and forth between oz and the phils for many years and met guys living all the lifestyles you demonstrated . As for the people having a crack at your views ... lighten up people its just an opinion its not the bible . Good luck Sir
Rockstar you get to travel 1st class and stay in high end hotels and Resorts with a filipina most guys would consider a 9 or 10.
So informative thank you in 5 years at age 62 in 2029 at 5k U.S. government pension and social security - I don't drink, don't smoke, I jog 25 to 40 miles a week past 14 years so very healthy. Sounds like I will have an amazing life in Philppines in U.S. 5K a month would be poverty in retirement.
Pretty close, I am very happy on 1100/month but spend zero on bars, make most of our food at home vs go out to eat junk food, don’t drink. If I were going to bars … the # goes up a lot. However, I am extremely happy and comfortable. I could spend more if I wanted, but not missing anything. The other budgets make zero sense unless one is a newbie and puking cash,due to ignorance.
Great break down! I keep having a hunch I could do it for 2000/mo. I don't think I would stay under 2K. Good to get the three chunks. Do you recommend moving there before retirement if there's income from the US? I visited walking street and Barreto in Olongapo and thought maybe I should just move over and start acting 65 now at 40 but I didn't really see many foreigners my age.
#1) People who genuinely are cool don't have to go around telling people that they are cool. That's something posers do. I lived in Angeles for a month $2000 USD and you can live quite well. I had a great condo apartment and was not slumming it. Dinner out most nights, plenty of socailizing. I never went into a Girly Bar and have zero interest in "professional" women, but didn't lock myself at home either.
Ace, Number one, Bachelor cuz I'm Single, Cool cuz I am!
I think Ace actually is pretty cool. He seems pretty laid back, not afraid to poke fun at himself. Sure, he’s not a 10 in the looks department - that explains why he needs to spend more to get some attention. Makes sense.
@@44_max3 Yes! You got it!
@@acebachelorcool You are the only one believes that
He must be a newbie. You can live really well on $3K anywhere in the phils, yes even BGC and Makati.
He is talking about unlimited meals, drinks and women , that costs more then anything.
Exactly. He seems to spend more on women(prostitutes) than anything else. Sounds like a Party Animals lifestyle.
Exactly, this is way off 😂😂😂
This so far off it's ridiculous. You can definitely spend that much but why.
I like the white board because I don't have to listen to you talk. I can just pause the video and get the gist in a minute and move one. Thanks. I don't mean that sarcastically.
The rockstar experience sounds great as a lifestyle!
*Thx4share interesting content AceMon* 👍🇺🇲
This has got to be the worst break down of living in Angeles or any other place here in the Philippines. First of all, if someone has $179k a year to spend living here most like they don’t live here, they just fly in every now and then and party their asses off. The $58k is more of the rock star lifestyle budget here. And if you’re bring in a monthly income of $1,500 or less and you like to party a lot then you’re going to be highly disappointed because your going to be broke by the end of the month. In my opinion you shouldn’t come here to live if you’re make $2k or less. People here do it but their life’s isn’t anything to brag about.
P.S. This is my 30+ years of my experience here in the Philippines
Helps to look at non-fixed costs on a daily basis…$1,000/month bars? That’s ₽1,830/day…that’s gone at the first warm up bar of the night…as ROCK STAR. Fun entertainment, thanks.
Great channel
@@mrvapor4791 Thank you!
Good budget, but on the healthy to rock star I would think you would have a live-in maid.
The maid would take care of allot of the household stuff.
Plus some of the "Dating" requirements! Especially if she's young, in shape, and cute!
@@iluvmoney6767 Just saying the "Maid" could move up to "Girlfriend!"😜
6 to 7k a month gives you a very good amount to live a nice lifestyle with all the bases covered.
Best to have several pensions and a nice investment portfolio. Anything less than 3k a month barely covers the basics.
You have a good channel and people don't appreciate your information. UA-cam won't give you a break.
Wow very educational you got everything figure out
Damn, Ace be pumping out the fire content these days, it's all I can do to keep up! 😂
Thanks for Watching!
Who wanna see ABC budget on the big whiteboard ? 🙈😂
I know guys retired in NJ from law enforcement collecting $100.000 a year in pensions tax free , and lots of $$$ in the bank. That just a simple lower middle class life in NJ. In Philipines it’s rockstar lifestyle
Sir..What percentage of viewers fall under Rockstar? Better to do away Rockstar and insert a column between Basic and Healthy call it Good
Man..
I work a modest job here in the UK, get around £2'200-2'300 a month (GBP)..
Working class average life here in England..
Just checked the exchange, an that would put me on around $170'000 pesos (PHP) a month..
And from a living cost search i just did, thats apparently big baller money there!?..
I'm amazed!..
If you read my other comment, i would love to start a new life there like yesterday!..
But I'm a full time parent to my 12yr old son here in the UK..
Like the amazing average Filipinas there, unfortunately i was taught that to value family above all too..
So i wouldn't even consider moving until i was sure he was grown and fully stable in his life..
But one day.. I hope..
Before I'm too much older too, so I'm a young-ish catch and not just an 'old rich guy'..
This is becoming my retirement dream right here!..
😎🤞🤞🤞
What’s 18 holes at a mid tier course cost around Angeles?
1190 Pesos Walking Clark City GC
Hey Ace I’m coming to AC on a basic budget except for one thing
I’m going ROCKSTAR dating and bars 🤗🤗😂
Can we talk about that gym membership??!! It’s only $10 a month for me here in the US
Basic sounds good to me!
Bwa!
So someone's on a "Basic" budget and pays 4400peso for their visa instead of the 2500 it actually costs? They get a "phone plan" for 1,000 instead of 500 peso for load? But only 1600 peso for electric? But $300 for "dating" and $150 for "fun, bars, and golf"? But no electric for 249peso netflix?
If they are so broke they are doing laundry in the CR why would they get a 13,000peso apartment when multiple bloggers have shown 4,500-8500 peso 1 and 2 bedroom apartments?
And not a penny for clothes, other utilities, drinking water, etc?
I know this video is really only tongue in cheek, but still.
And $30 for "high speed internet"?? 1,500 peso for "Rockstar" internet??
a person can make on a legally job in the philippines is 4k max , highest pay in the ph is the president . What is the highest salary grade in the Philippines?
In the Philippines, there are 33 grade levels. The term “salary grade” is often referred to as “SG”. Level 1 has the lowest pay, and level 33 has the highest pay. Every government employee is assigned a salary grade 400 k of peso a month is 7,200.35 United States Dollar
These amounts are insane. 15k a month? Are you kidding me? I’m speechless
i agree with healthy lifestylt need 5 k (living mode) touristic BS a month non stop fun u need double and thats for a couple
Golf? No kidding that's cool
There might be 5 or 6 courses on Clark alone......not sure what Angeles City has probably something...... :)
You are out of your mind man m
That $600 for food in a healthy (average?) lifestyle seems excessive. I don’t know if I spend that much in the States. Same with $1500 for dating (unless we’re defining “dating” with a wink.)
Unless one’s goal is to meet a *lot* of ladies - which I suppose is a lot of the point of going to AC - it seems like $3K, which is said to be low-end wealthy in the Philippines, is enough to live “healthy”.
All of that said, I do appreciate the hard work you put into this and all your other videos.
ACE, Did you do a vacation budget video yet? ✌🏼
$2000 a month is a decent doable budget.
Not really just surviving not enjoying what the country has to offer.
If you want a nice car and a nice apartment $3000 plus medical realistically. $3500 if you drink and date above a 7 . If you travel more Tokyo is only couple hours away. Much more interesting life then US, for sure.
Thanks for the very useful information 🫡
I think that ROCKSTAR category is a bit over the top. Who retired is making 179K and up? .1% ? Anyway,, food for thought on future content video.
I remember you saying in previous video specifically saying there is no dating...
$4500 on golf and dating? Wow.
No way this is true unless your playing the most expensive golf courses every other day and getting totally robbed by call girls
I mean, he did say "Rockstar." I think most people would be happy long before they hit that level of extravagance.
What about Standard Basic , $750-1000 a month?
nope
@@bigbearhugebear9018 Yep
On basic I can do without bars , driving range, and dating
What is the news on the streets when is the American troops going to move into Fort Magsaysay to protect the Philippines. Have you seen what the Chinese Coast Guard vessels are doing to the Philippine Coast guard Vessels with their water cannons high pressure water spurts. Too much push and shove--shoving out of the way to the Philippine Coast Guard vessels. If my plans come good I'll be in Angeles City in Jan 24 see ya Cheers.
How do you start looking for an apartment?
Doh 😂just look on the internet bro, it’s 2024, you know those things in the phone or computer
Pick the town you want , then type in apartments for rent, then hit the enter button, you will get the listening , you can also add expat categories , you’ll get the idea, anything nice with western amenities is going to cost$$$, if you want to live like a pauper, it could be cheap, remember they have giant centipedes , venomous bugs and spiders , spitting cobras and vipers everywhere. Not in the $$$ expensive areas and housing
If you consider moving there, take interest in herpology , the more you know, the better. It’s the land of spitting and super cobras and lizards and vipers, nothing to be scared of. But educate yourself , they’ll be your companions there
Anyone spending 179k in angeles is either doing something very wrong or something very right😂
some a retard like in any state in usa for 15k a month why would move to the ph ?

what category are you in?
My guess is between Basic to Healthy.. closer to Healthy.
His apartment falls into the basic category, so he'll have a little more money to spend on girls in the healthy category.
They do not offer club memberships in the Phils for golf? Rockstar more like millionaire budget
Your cost for room rental seems low in each budget. Though I can afford Rockstar I think I'd be too tired between the gym, golf, and all the women to be able to spend that much.
You basic budget seems reasonable however, your healthy and rockstar budget are complete. BS. Just pure fantasy. Dude, don’t make a video just to make a video try to put something worth watching in there.
It's fun and invokes thought!

@@hillbillyintheasia6122 What are you talking about ,your on a different subject.
The Rock Star is close but he duplicated a few things and added the golf. I think i live like a Rock Star and only spend $7,000 per month.
Healthy makes sens but to me the dating Is too high. Quit the Bar BF's and you can bring this down a lot.
Ace has a small budget , he needs you tube
As my retirement after taxes is more than fifteen thousand USD a month, I guess that I would fall into the rockstar category. But the truth be told, I get bored after 2 weeks in an A/C and am always happy to return to Japan where I continue to teach science at Japanese uni That being said, I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and effort you always put in them. Congratulations on having your Utube channel monetized. Soon this will push you into the next category.

Pesos or. Dollars ?
$US3K dating ...
These are super beautiful Filipina Capital City girls ...not walking street... not bar girls ...no short time
Bucky earns Over 300k pesos
Per month.
Can that cover BGC?
I don't know about that , cutting it pretty close. Top of the line condo going to cost you $1,000
Pattaya Thailand seems like much better deal
You can "hire" a girlfriend and pay her what a doctor makes in the PI for less that the Rockstars Golf budget. I don't golf.
Rock star sounds more like it
Entertainment center close too
to pend 15k per month you would have to have a job that pays 225K per year pre tax. That kind of money is Rich in just about anywhere in the U.S I suspect that amount was put on the board to generate comments lol
I think Rockstar is more like $8-$9,000
yes yes yes
everythingsss
yes
RockSter
Allah
Akbar
Lol. This is not the channel to watch
Basic no girlfriend ❤
its not dollars, its PESOS, Philippines has their own currency. Youre confusing people and use the correct symbol
Dude he is talking about US dollars , are you paying attention ?
Seek help - you need comprehension skills.
Absolutely the WORST budget video I have ever seen. $15k per month in the Philippines??? LOL! I am not a bachelor but have a family of three and live a life that I could only dream of in the states for a little over $3K per month. Made way over six figures a year for over 20 years in the states and live a way better here on retirement and want for nothing. Things must be way different in Luzon vs Negros Oriental. I guess if your goal is to tap every working girl in Angeles City, drink Johnny Walker blue everyday, have 3 gourmet meals a day and live in the best penthouse around it could be done. However, I think $7K a month would get you the same thing not $15K.
Burger King macdonald s ? They have that over there?
Mickey D at the end of Walking Street and many fast food joints at the malls......
You need to watch other vloggers from Angeles City they all walk different areas......:)
Yes $5 for Big mac Combo
$80 visa is that every mth
These budgets don’t apply to 2 or 3 week millionaires…😅😅😅😅
You double counted…..
Playing 9 holes & dating… I guess it adds up to 300 either way 😂
I would rather be a LIV pro golfer.
All these loosers are just making videos to try to find a way to stay there. I been there to AC 11x, When I do move there, AC will be the last place I would want to live. Dumaguete or anywhere away from the tourists area will be more affordable. Lot of these people go there broke or close to it and do not want to leave, so here comes the the videos to try and make money to stay there. Plain and simple, you need money to stay , just like any other place, the more the better. AC (Angeles City) is a shell of what it use to be compared to early 2000's from when I started going. At 1 time, Central park hotel was $25 a night, now over $60. Mo's great pool parties ($5 to get in) (have music, food and drinks all day) where everyone is naked running around and long gone (no better way to spend your saturdays). Now there is crap like score hotel pageants. (even the doll house pool parties top of there hotel across the street was better)
For your girlfriend and her family 500 is plenty loll just have to be smart
😂😂😂😂 let me save you some money. $3k/mo dating?? $1500 golf?? $1k in bars?? Boom! I just shaved 60 grand off your "rock star" life. 😂😂😂😂
This YT seems to live his life at bar's
I am more a kind of Rapper
Great, go to a bar every day and have three beers a day, just enough to get you to alcoholism a bit sooner. To do what? Sit outside and stare at people walking by? Is that a real life? I don’t think so. I think these guys are really screwed up. It seems that the more money you’ve got, this guy thinks that all you want to do is to go to bars? I hate to correct him on this, but people with that much money are not going to spend that much in bars. How do you think we got that much to spend in the first place? It wasn’t from wasting it on bars, or prostitutes. If this is the main reason people move to these countries, then it’s sad.
"Dating" Lol DDDDDD
In reality people live the basic lifestyle if you are going to bar's my advice stay in your country
can't do it for any less than 200,000 P a month
I agree 200,000 is weak
Can u give me the "nut shell" as to why i would need a Phillipine phone? Also im deep into blockchain/crypto and would need rock solid internet service so in general do the higher end properties have mostly have excellent service? Im well in the rockstar category and above so money is not a issue. I have just started really contemplating living full time in the Phillipines so any info would be great thank u. Im learning a lot here and from others like you so i really appreciate it. Man i wish i could own some property there.
Think your way too high on rockstar
Basic budget aka broke.
If you are taking home 180K a year, you are in the top tier of men. That is $350-400K a year gross. You're an exceedingly rare man. As a general rule, they are very disciplined and not prone to the behaviors listed here. If you have FU money, there is no need to pay. You likely dress and behave the part. You will naturally attract high end women, who will offer it up at zero cost, hoping to lock you down. You are laying lumber to young, beautiful serious professional women, like doctors, lawyers, models, etc. You wont be living in Angeles City pissing away money on bar girls. As the old saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.
My major is in monger negotiations so I was thinking of taking a few classes in monger budgeting.
