$3,900: Broke in the USA, Rich in the Philippines

#philippinesliving #expatlife #costofliving If you’ve ever wondered how far $3,900 a month really goes, this video will open your eyes. Back in the USA, that kind of money barely covers rent, bills, and maybe a night out once in a while. But in the Philippines? That exact same income puts you into the top tier of society. We’re talking gated subdivisions, condos in BGC or Makati, villas in Valencia near Dumaguete, and even family homes in Cagayan de Oro or Davao with room to spare. 👉 Free 10 Minute Consultation – Schedule Here https://flymetothephilippinesconsulta... 👉 Chrissy’s $200 Open Source Social Media Investigation https://flymetothephilippinesconsulta... 👉 Our Amazon Bestseller “Fly Me to the Philippines” https://a.co/d/dd5dEz0 📧 Email us directly: [email protected] In this episode, Chrissy and I pull 10 truths out of the Glass of Truth to show you what “rich” really looks like in the Philippines. We compare the reality of living on $3,900 in the U.S. versus what that same income buys in Manila, BGC, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, and even up in Valencia with its cooler mountain air. We dive into: Apartment rentals in BGC high-rises vs. leasing a house in Cebu or Davao. Restaurant meals that cost $40 for two in Makati, versus $200+ in New York City. The reality of hiring domestic help or even a car driver for less than your U.S. parking fees. How private schools here compare to U.S. tuition — Catholic schools, international schools, and the real costs parents face. The nuts and bolts of purchasing land or houses as a foreigner, leasing long-term, and what pitfalls to watch out for. The true cost of buying cars in the Philippines — from Toyotas and Hilux trucks to the best-selling Chinese cars that are rapidly taking market share. 💡 Why this matters: Most Western men 55–75 think in U.S. terms. In America, $3,900/month feels like scraping by. In the Philippines, it’s enough to live in a guarded subdivision, eat out at top restaurants weekly, take weekend trips to Boracay or Siquijor, and still support your wife’s family generously. That’s not just “living okay” — that’s living large. We show examples in Valencia near Dumaguete (a villa with a pool for $600–800/month), in BGC Manila (luxury high-rise apartments with gyms and pools for $1,600–2,100/month), and in Cagayan de Oro (CDO) where suburban family homes rent for $650–900/month. We compare these directly to New York, St. Louis, and Monterey, California so you can see just how far your money stretches.

We touch on real life in the Philippines: Shopping malls like SM, Ayala, and Robinsons, where you’ll spend far less on clothing, groceries, and dining compared to the West. Restaurant culture — from buffets in Makati to seafood feasts in Dumaguete or CDO. Transportation — the real cost of gasoline, SUV insurance, and what it takes to own a Toyota here vs. leasing back home. Healthcare and hospitals — why a doctor visit here is $20–40 compared to $150–250 in the U.S. Luxury living — what it really means to have a helper, a driver, and the ability to travel internationally a few times a year without destroying your budget. 📖 Resources & Links Our book: Fly Me to the Philippines: A Modern Man’s Guide Book a Consultation with Rob & Chrissy Chrissy’s Open Source Investigation Service Email us directly: [email protected] ✅ Whether you’re thinking about retiring in Dumaguete, moving to BGC for work, leasing a house in CDO, or simply curious what it’s like to shop, dine, and drive in the Philippines, this video will give you a reality check.
