I share all my monthly costs and answer questions such as:
How much does it cost to live in Cambodia?
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Cambodia?
How much does do I pay for utilities like electricity in Cambodia?
How much does mobile phone data cost in Cambodia?
How much does a valid Visa for Cambodia cost?
I also cover my daily food costs here in Phnom Penh and take you on a tour of some of my favourite coffee shops and restaurants in Toul Kourk, Phnom Penh.
In general, the cost of living in Cambodia is very affordable. Anyone who is working online and making half decent money can afford to live in Cambodia very comfortably indeed.
Are you living in Cambodia?
Are you planning to travel to Cambodia?

Im in cambodia city is phnome phen too our language is khmer
And our food here is good
can you still get happy pizza by the river?
Dave in Cambodia lives with his girlfriend in a $50 a month apartment in Siem Reap. Simple but clean place. When I was living there my apartment was more expensive.... $100 a month before electric and water. Nice clean simple apartment with large washroom, with shower, small kitchen, nice living room/bedroom. Gated walled building (all the tenants have a key for the gate) and security guard. Kept electric cost low by not having a TV, and not turning the airconditioning on. I used fan only, and cross circulation between windows.
I really can't see spending hundreds of dollars on an apartment.
Must have been a sweat box 🥵🥵🥵
@@brahimfightdesign Sweat box only for the first two to three weeks. At that point my body had acclimated to the tropical climate and I was fine. Cross circulation between windows and using fans is all you need.
Air conditioning is a big mistake. Your body will never acclimate if you use air conditioning. Use air conditioning….and every time you step outside will be like stepping into a blast furnace.
It takes the human body only two to three weeks to acclimate. Why not let acclimatization be your friend?
I got used to the climate…..didn’t suffer anymore in the heat, and kept my electric bill really really low. Win….win.. . 😃👍🏼👏🏼🌴🌴🌴☸️
Several basic points needed. What is the length of your lease? How many months deposit? How much is the KwH electricity rate? Some places are $0.20, others 0.25, or 0.30, that's a huge difference. You're on a high floor, pounded by the sun all day, will easily cost twice that to cool the place when it gets red hot starting later in March lasting until late in the year. Only December through February are even slightly cool weather.
Hey mike great video my wife and I are actually flying to Cambodia tomorrow we love yer vids very helpful and informative
Glad to hear it mate, thanks for the comment and enjoy Cambodia!
Hope u enjoy Cambodia
Hi Mike. Nice vid. The one thing I would say is that you've got expats in Siem Reap/ S'ville doing OK on around $700 a month. It all depends on your standard of living. A room with Aircon and a small kitchen can be had in Siem Reap for around $100 a month. If you're happy to drink cheap beer, go for walks, watch DVD's and eat street food/wok it up at home, you can easily do that on the budget I just mentioned. Obviously, your lifestyle is a lot better and PP is a lot pricier anyway.
But there's something there for every budget.
Sure, I appreciate I could have reduced my spending if I been on a tighter budget. I barely never cooked in my two months in Cambodia!! Could most definitely reduced food costs.
@@mysonjimmy1337 Thanks for that honest input. Stay safe.
@@livinginphuketthailand im moving to cambodia in a month your place seemed really nice but what do you think like $280-350 get?
Very true. SR much cheaper and more beautiful.
Indonesia especially Bandung is way way cheaper. Apartment rent cost is way cheaper. 70 US $ / month will get you a nice apartment room in Bandung.
New sub here, Mike. Really enjoyed your informative video. I currently am living in the U.S. and waiting for things to settle down before visiting Vietnam and the Philippines. Now you've put Cambodia on my radar. Your condo and its price is amazing and totally suited for my needs as well as being way under my budgeted needs. Unfortunately, I am sure housing prices will rise with the easing of the C*vid restrictions.
Yes I was In Thailand recently. It seems like Thailand was one of the last south east Asian places to lower restrictions. It has improved! I am sure if you go now it would be an ideal time I am sure.
Cheers from Wisconsin! I am going to Cambodia January 12th hope to see more Americans and smiling faces!
This is very nice, Mike! I went up to the rooftop of this building and the view is awesome. My friend own a condo unit here. It a very nice place in Toulkork. By the way, I got my unlimited mobile data at only $5 per month.
what mobile service provider did you pick?
The city is so vivid with vibrant roof tops and clear blue skies.
Looks like a drawing
Coffee at my little place in a mountain town is $2.50. A usual breakfast with coffee here is $10 with tip. But a diner will be more like $ 18.
My place in Thailand one minute from the beach in Hua Hin is comparable. $400 total
Hua hin is a lovely spot, the foods options off the charts, just done a month there
Wow, such a great breakdown video from Cambodia! I'm originally from Cambodia, but now I living in US. Keep it up!
Great, if I wanted to purchase housing, how do I? Thank you
@@makglobalhealth7983 get an cambodian passport.
@@hansberger4939 Thank you
@@makglobalhealth7983 You can "own" a condo.
Welcome to my country 🇰🇭🙏
Thank you. So kind. Are you in PP?
In Philippines I pay under $200 USD for a 2br house in a Gated subdivision with a pool Tennis and BB Courts and a nice little park.
Mind telling us where in Philippines?
@@whilehavingcoffee In Siquijor Philippines one of the expats is paying only $40/month for an entire house.
@@MyLifeThai371 what? Wow.
@@whilehavingcoffee "Pamilya Isle" youtube channel. Just type "siquijor philippines" in your youtube search and she is the main youtuber for that island.
As a local, i suggest you cook yourself. You would be amazed how much you will save, plus you might surprise yourself with your own cooking x'D Your current food cost per day is still expensive to me. Check out the food app and you will see plenty of good deals too. Cheers, mate!
100% agree with you. I live (food wise) on $5 a day buying at the local market and cooking at my rented condo. Rice, veggies and fruit. I catch my own fish as I am a keen angler. If I have a good day I barter a fish or two for chicken or pork. I am also talking about Malacca, Malaysia which is more expensive than Cambodia. Rent is $200 pm, tap water $8, internet $9, bottled water $10 and electric around $30. I mainly use a fan which I prefer to air con. Yes, $407 all in PER MONTH. On arrival I get a free 90 day tourist visa. I also don't drink alcohol or smoke.
It is more expensive than Thailand in general. The beers medical costs and taxis seem less than Thailand!
Gorgeous apartment but im so scared of heights that I actually get anxiety (yes I know its totally psychological) with the balcony/roof shots so I'd have to get a lower apartment. You've got it made!
Worked for a company that required some travel & they had a rule not to get a hotel room above the 3rd floor for fire safety reasons. More difficult rescue above 3rd floor & better chance of surviving a jump from 3rd floor then a higher jump.
@@johnholbrook6042 I'm with you....I'd aim for the bushes 🤣
@@johnholbrook6042 Good point. Here in America most fire trucks rescue ladders don't extend past the 7th floor. So that is my limit! 😆
Many things have change there sense 2002, back then there was not to much to do, or very many places to live. Nice presentation!
Good video Mike I have been to Cambodia 7 times in the 2 years before covid in particular siem reap. I hope to live there with my wife
That's a really cool apartment, Mike and what a spot for the morning coffee :)
the high usd dosnt help retirees moving to cambodia since cambodia uses usd, u would be better off moving to thailand and having almost twice as much money with the baht,
Prices really must have gone up. I was in Phnom Phen in 2017. Had a night out with dinner (1,5 USD) happy hour beer (50 cents) and tuk tuk back to the hotel (2 USD one way).
Hey Mike, been following your movements since you got to KH. Thank you for the quick video updates...I've lived in Phnom Penh before and will be heading back next month. TK is a great area to be in! Also planning to go to back to Vietnam in April, so looking forward to seeing you go ahead of us...:) take care.. PS there's another Indian restaurant - The curry King and many good chill cafes down street 337 close to a Bayon ..
Nice one, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check that area out for sure! Cheers ✌
@@livinginphuketthailand If your a food fiend, try going on a trip to Kampot. I've just returned and the place seems to get better all the time. Particularly the food. I saw many Indian/curry places, but didn't try them. Order the pork dumpling soup at ecran restaurant, for 3USD you won't be disappointed.
I loved my trips to Vung Tau in Vietnam and was going to make that my new holiday destination. But covid stuffed all of that up. They are going a bit the same way as Thailand did and only want tourists. They are making it more difficult to live there. Even when I knew people here who went on a visa run and had a flat in Vietnam, who couldn't get back in due to covid restrictions, I was having arguments with locals saying the place was open. When last I looked you had to organize a business visa to get in. I'm not up to date now though, what's the latest, do you know?
In Asia especially in Cambodia the higher the apartment usually the higher rent especially with the elevator. The rent probably is cheaper if you want a lower floor.
@@peterkhieu I've been stuck in elevators twice in my 20's working for a bank in Australia. Hundreds of people knew were were stuck in the lift. On both occasions it took about half an hour to get us out. Lifts in Cambodia are quite small and make me nervous. Worse still, I've never seen anyone with an elevator company name on their shirt in this country.
I recommend Malaysia. Amazing food
Well I'm glad that you enjoying Cambodia I've done many trips and from my experience it definitely doesn't compare to Thailand.
I'm a motorcycle enthusiast and the roads are pretty bad, drivers are a little bit insane.
Maybe your just soft Mike.
@@bbll3090 maybe!!!
@@mikefreeriderAsiait is hectic but once they finish their main infrastructure project which consists of the airports, seaports, bridges, and housing, they’ll start looking more into public transportation (busses and metro rails) and repaving the roads. They could also enforce the traffic laws more as a lot of Cambodian deaths or motorcycle and other vehicular accidents.
Honestly, I was expecting food to be cheaper, I've spent three months in Malayisa, and i think you could have the same type of food for half the price.
lovely video have a nice time in Cambodia
Dude, that was a really good video. Image quality also superb. You seem like you are doing great. Happy for you. Just one thing that kinda bugged me a bit. I think the Cambodian currency is pronounced ri-el. I know some folks say reel but your channel is informational as well as educational, so it would be better to get tourists/foreigners to get the basics right. I noted that you handed the $100 note and received the change with your right hand. This is the proper way to do it. It drives me crazy when foreigners use their left hand to give and receive. This is incredible rude but the locals won’t say it though. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing local knowledge
I'm Cambodian, I'll take it hand over fist. I'll take any I can, doesn't bother me. We I'm Cambodian american't.
I love your UA-cam video about Cambodia make me want to live in Cambodia.
What a great deal bro! I pay pretty much the same for just a single room here in New Zealand...
Wow! Time to move to Asia? 😄🙏
Great insight into your data to day. Does the 200pw include your medical insurance as well?
Thanks
Amazing how much a country can change in 15 yrs
On that budget I could have a condo in Pattaya with a beach close by and view. I think it's a little bit expensive.
I agree. Cambodia is actually more expensive than Thailand, if.yojnwant to live a life with western comforts.
Thanks man, good video. Best breakdown I have seen.
Great video! Thank you
You forgot to cover health insurance which I assume is a large bill…
"Gio in the Philippines" use Nomad Travel insurance. Price varies by age. age 65-69 is $158/month and I believe it covers up to 30 days of living in the U.S.A.
enjoy the presentation and I'm thinking about moving to Southeast Asia whether it be the Philippines Cambodia or Vietnam and I really enjoyed your breakdown on your cost of living I will be reaching out to you soon and again thank you for your presentation
Nice view from ur condo
Greetings from Prey Nokor Sài Gòn city ❤️
Hi Mike. John from Bar Ang in Battambang here. I'd love a chat with you when you are next in Battambang. Please come for a meal and some laughs.
Cheers JT
You left your Passport with a visa agent.. I know because you have to in order for them to file the necessary docs. on your behalf.. isn't that risky? I've heard there have been instances when those agents disappeared, or closed shop and people haven't gotten their Passports back. Couldn't you just go down to immigration yourself and apply for the extension?
Beautiful view! Thanks for showing us!
Same price for living outside Berlin in a small 50m2 condo with Health insurance, Energy, Beer and everything else …1400€ it’s not so cheap
You give me hope. That's exactly the lifestyle I want. I found slices of that in Thailand but I was only on an extended vacation. Living somewhere is much different that visiting on vacation. But seems like Phnom Pehn is more laid back than Bangkok. Although I loved Bangkok and other places I saw in Thailand, felt like Bangkok was crowded everywhere I went. I love how much space is in the coffee shop and restaurant you went to in the this video. There wasn't a ton of people in these establishments even though you are in a big city. Very nice.
Interesting ! Love the video so much !
I have heard of single Westerners that spend 350 a month for everything and some that spend a bit more then 3500 a month so I guess there is a wide gap in living costs
Nice! 👍 Is it possible to find cheaper rent options say around $200 USD per month outside the city center?.
I would expect so yes.
not every cambodian makes 500 usd a month so yes 100% you could find rent 200
He's not living in the city center. I had a French colonial apartment in the city center just two blocks from the river for only $140 a month. It wasn't as spiffy as his condo but that's not my style anyway. His place does look very nice.
I'm Cambodian, my house rent is 60$ per month! No joking
@@linahol6067 Lucky You! That’s awesome! Do you have a decent kitchen for cooking food? 🍲
PP is expencive,i live here in cambodia for 8 years in a row.in siem reap you will find that kind of condo with the pool at 2/3 of that price,same with the pad thai and the 2 coffee for nearly 10 $ is 1/3 overpricedi have a 2 bedroom bungalow in a compound with elec and good internet and water for 200$,my eelctric bill is a bit higher cozz i run AC a lot,around 70$, yearvisa devided by 12 is around 25$ a month.my total bill is less the 900 usd
Is it possible to find a job in Siam Reap teaching Elgish or doing something else?
@@unassailable6138 How do you feel that you're qualified to teach English when you can spell?
Did you live in Thailand previously? Maybe 6 months to a year ago I watched another video of yours where you could've been living in Thailand?
I lived in Thailand from 2004-2006. During this period I did visit Cambodia - Phnom Penh, Siem Reap. To me, Cambodia was very eye opening in terms of how rural it was and underdeveloped. Seems like a lot has changed since then according to your video and others I've seen. I wonder what the main differences are between the two today?
I found in China coffee was extremely expensive. This is reasonable. You could probably get a similar meal and two coffees in south africa for same price!
Good coffee in Indonesia only cost you 0,3 US $. Apartment rent 70 US $ / month in outer city of Bandung.
This is all very reasonable. What do you think it will look like 13 years from now? Assuming the world is still spinning. I can retire then and will probably have about 2k a month.
I hope you take into consideration 13 years of inflation. I also think 13 years from now Cambodian prices will be much higher than they are currently. 2k a month now will not have the same purchasing power when you retire. You will need more like 4k.
@@stevenhull5025 Prices don’t double due to inflation in 13 years. Not enless the country is in total economic collapse.
Nice video mate. I'm surprised how modern and affordable your condo is. I recently spent a couple of months in Indonesia, mostly in Jakarta, and I'd say that day to day living expenses are similar in JKT to what you said.
How do you get on with speaking? How wide spread is spoken English there?
Also, are there any swanky malls there?
Level of English is OK but not as widely spoken as Thailand in my experience. Yes there's malls with Gucci, Armani and all the big brands if that's what you're looking for.
@@livinginphuketthailand Actually I go to malls to chat to women. That is the best place to meet girls, certainly in the Philippines and Indonesia
Nobody in TH speaks English 🤣 and when they do its at level of 3yo
@@hellouser5498 So what! It's TH not the US or UK. I appreciate any locals who try to speak English.
Any chance your landlord is Alex the German pilot (tall as a tree)?
You guessed it mate! 😉
Why not just use smaller denominations with local businesses than a huge $100 bill which always puts a strain on them?
Wayyy Kool.
Thx a Ton for the Post.
Really enjoyed your video Mike. Very informative and positive. One question, your e-visa will expire at the end of the month right? I’m sure you have plans to stay longer there, how will you do that?
Thanks Ben, glad it was useful. I left Cambodia over 1 year ago. 2 months in Phnom Penh was more than long enough!! In no hurry to return.
Believe me, the concern about crime is real, but relatively tiny , next to the issue of noise.( I've been here 11 years).
Is Cambodia noisy like Vietnam?
Can foreigners own houses or real estate in Phnom Penh? I come from Vietnam, house prices in Vietnam are too expensive and am looking for investment opportunities.
Foreigners can own condos, but not on the ground floor. That's my understanding of the laws here but best check with a property proffessional in Cambodia.
Yes Mike is right you can buy condo but not ground floor.
Hey Mike, informatinve video, I am comming to Cambodia on 5th March from Bangkok.
I just watched your other video and contact with Prang to manage my visa extension, this makes so much easy. thanks again Mike.
i liked your video well presented and was very smooth
Thanks for the compliment! 🙏
Very nice condo. I love the view. Beer and wine are a lot more affordable than in Thailand. What kind of visa we can get to stay a year ?
You can get a business visa for 6 or 12 months.
Hi Mike, could you please let me know of any reasonably priced rooms or apartments in Phnom Penh not to far away from 136 street or about 10 -15 minutes walk away. Thanks ever so much, keep up the good work.
@Untak Sang Ok thanks for that.
@Untak Sang A big ask, but do you know the name and number of this place?
Welcome to Cambodia!!! 🇰🇭
Hey @Mike...great communicative and helpful video. What do you think about a graphic designer moving to Cambodia's Capital? Would there be opportunities? Ireland's cost of living is just ridiculous and there are no houses to be had anywhere. Seriously considering moving to that beautiful place
Hi Nikolay, not sure about that tbh. If you are looking for job opportunities, I sense that PP may not be the best place. Vietnam has more to offer with regards career advancement etc.
@@livinginphuketthailand yeah? I'm not even bothered about advancement just quality of life. But I shall do some research. Thanks Mike
@@Weebay_213 you best setting up remote digital work contracts from the country you live in now like your home country, then you will get your good income, then live in Cambodia etc on a better achievable lifestyle. Getting local work in Cambodia not the best way pay wise unless it's a special contract, with a international company, that type a job is only available in Thailand but those are rare in Cambodia.
@@stephenpavy2501 thanks Stephen
@@stephenpavy2501 that is difficult to set up in Wisconsin USA. But I appreciate the advice and heads up on the idea. Also thanks,I figured the income for Cambodians jobs are lower than most westerners are willing to settle for. Thanks for clarifying!
Thank U. Many good infos. I need to have a Car like i have in Thailand now bc of problems i have. What do i have to do to get my own Car and how much all incl. Maybe we gone see each other there... Take care
2 Questions Mike...
Q1) With these condos, does the aircon keep it cool in the upper (sleeping) area or is it hot?
Q2) Is it close the the main CBD ?
Must be hot af without ac on all the time
Great vid mike how’s the language barrier ? Easy or do u find it hard to communicate with the locals
Hi Rudy, not as many people speak English here as in Thailand. Plus, I don't speak ANY Khmer so it can be tricky at times. But Google Translate is always at hand so I manage!
I've been told the opposite, that the english here in Cambodia is better than that of Thailand and Vietnam - though I haven't had first-hand experience of either.
@@nyob4938 me too, I was quite surprised to hear that but again probably depends on the area, in Phuket English is widely spoken but in isaan it’s not but I was surprised to hear that
that balcony is something else!
The electric building rate isn't necessarily the government rate. Could be 1/3 of what you're paying. As you say it's not much & that's what they count on. That's why I like a low rent place that includes electric. Internet & water are minor expenses. I prefer not to have a service condo/apartment. Other expenses are fine. 👍
Mike it kinda late but i'm a cambodian you got rip off with that 460$ , for square meter space that condo unit with bargain price around 300-350$ is max
True. Just like a hotel.
Western tourism has driven up prices in Thailand. Therefore another location MUSNN be cheap
What's the visa situation like there compared to Thailand... ? How long can renew for...
*BG*
It is only $180 for the 1 year looking for work visa in Cambodia and it is in English, so it is easy to fill out yourself at Immigration in Phnom Penh. No minimum balance in a bank account required either! :)
Yer best have small us dollars but sometime you need to break big one
very straight up good. i did not think it would be . but i always give a chance too most everything . and in this case im happy i did .
Glad it was useful Tim.
My Family And Me Goes Sim Reap There Was alot Of expensive hotel So My Dad Call His Friend goes His Hotel Like a Wood House a Room Super Nice Like Natures On Khmer New Year Well We Saved Alot Of Money Xd
Thank you Mike. I like your videos, thorough. How do you use the phone or should I say do you convert SIM card to my current phone while in Cambodia?
Thanks for video. Have you connected with any ex-pats living where you are now staying??
Eating alone is ok now and then but friendships are important.
How are things in that department
I've met some interesting people here so far. Both locals and expats. 👌
Which country do you think is better? Thailand or Vietnam or Cambodia?
I like Thailand best, followed by Vietnam.
You certainly get a good bang for your buck there. The condo looks good especially for a single or couple. How long is your lease? Landlord sounds quite reasonable.
Just wondering, if use tourist VISA, how many times can extended ? Should leave the country for renewed the VISA ?
Cash source, valid visa, route out. Hostel to allow time to establish decent apartment of not pre booked. Settled, agent, long term visa, enjoy.
Thanks for the vid, sir! Very thorough and informative. I know it wasn't the topic of the video, but what about safety and crime rates. As a foreigner, do you feel safe while out and about?
Yes, I felt safe, however I was also conscious and smart about where yo use my phone etc . Another UA-cam friend has his phone stolen.
Cambodia looks very nice.
i love your apartment!
$600 a year for your visa. What visa are you on? Im paying $290 for my retirement visa
Cost $50 to extend tourist visa for 30 days.
I love your condo! This was a great video!
Glad you liked it!!
You forgot to cover health insurance which I assume is a large monthly bill…
Problem is, Cambodia mostly accepts and prices everything in U.S. currency. I bet if Thailand started doing this, things would start going up in price.
The whole Cambodian nation do not have instance , and they doing fine. The bogeyman insurance scaring you about life without insurance.
Insurance $40 to $100 a month
@@lathkong6889 er yeah cause they can’t afford it and they die young.
@@bsways are you sure that having health insurance is a guarrenty that you'll die of old age. people die everyday regardless of how old and young,in hospital or where ever and at what cause; natural or accident. it the fear of dying that people buy issurance; get religion. even if u have insurance in cambodia there is no hospital and your 911 call might not even work, you have to get out of the country to get treatment. u will not live if u are afraid to die. population in the kingdom growing, dying is a circle of life and it a sure thing whether u are a creationist or evolutionist, live life to the fullest while u can.
Hi there, not sure why you don't use Baht? That would be infinetly cheaper would it not?
Wow
Pnom Penn is so colorful! Like Guanajuato, Mexico where i retired!
What are rhe income requrements for a permanent/ retirement visa?
Cheers
Why do you give dollar? The do not have their own currency??? I gave a weird question. Can play online xasino there in Cambodia? I know there is actual casino but I m talking about online xasino. Thanks
Great explanation....
Very good video. Subscribed. Maybe an extended visit when the wife and I are retired in a couple of years. Thanks ❤👍+1.
Thanks that shows. The world knows Cambodia
Great Video 👌 thanks for sharing
Pay in Reil. They will short change you if you pay in dollars. Also, in SE Asia, if you tip put the money in the girl's hand. Otherwise, the house takes the $
$460 a month seems high for what you're getting. Compared to Bangkok, for instance. Even in Cambodia you can do better. Lots of sites showing less than half of what you're paying, in different parts of the country.
Just got back from eating a big bowl of chicken with eggs, rice, and pork cutlets at the local chain restaurant for $4.80, pay about $450/mth.for a 26 square meter studio 4 minutes from the subway station that takes me to the middle of the city in 30 minutes, paid about $45 in electricity last month (but water was about $25),and I live right outside of Tokyo. I think Cambodia would be too expensive for me, but then again the beer is much cheaper.
You may find Cambodia is more expensive than in Japan because you compare his life experiences in the city center of Phnom Penh with your life outside of Tokyo. If you compre with the life of outside of Phnom Penh, about 30mn to Phnom Penh also, you will find that the life in Cambodia is much cheaper than where you live now. For $450/month you may be able to rent a house a whole flat with 3 or 4 or 5 bedrooms (about 10km-15km from the Royal Palace and riverside and city center ) and maybe you can rent a nice villa in some provinces in Cambodia with this $450. For the food, a bowl of Chinese noodles is around $2, a bowl of Cambodian noodles or a plate of pork rice is about $1. A glass of Cambodian's style coffee is just about $0.65-$1 only. How come Cambodia is more expensive than Japan? Please come and have a tour in Cambodia, not just only in Phnom Penh but also its surrounding area and to other provinces. Then, you will know. Thank you so much!!! 🙏
Hey Mike how much is their insurance I plan on leaving next month and hopefully staying in the same place where you are staying
What would be the minimum you could live on in Cambodia and still have a nice life.. maybe in Kep or Siem Reap?
What’s the $9 data plan sim you got?
Excellent info, Mike. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
