Thanks!
You bet Dirt Digger - we really appreciate your support. ❤️🙏👍
It's nice seeing some content that's not centered around how cheap can you live but how well can you live and a little more centered around a healthy lifestyle.
Thanks Duncan
I'm with you! I know what getting by is like, but how about living better and living well? Or else why make the journey to the other side of the world? I know that I do OK here, but could live like the rich over there. Fly Me To The PI makes many sober, compelling arguments for making the flight.
I was once a forward deployed 7th Fleet sailor who used to visit Subic Bay often back in the mid to late 1970s when I was a kid. We even spent a week on R&R in Dumaguete before heading out to the Indian Ocean, which I thought was a paradise and a world away from the insanity that was Subic Bay when there were more than a few ships in port.
Awesome video guys 👍
Thank you!
Our pleasure!
I appreciate the straightforward, "here are the different ranges and what it equates to in actual living experience in the Philippines". Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback, Ron
As a Filipino. I enjoyed watching this couple. They were a perfect match. It has been proven already age doesnt matter to be compatible with our filipinas. Treat them wholeheartedly well and faithfully and in return they will also twice as that...
Well, thanks for that feedback and I will take your advice
The Filipinas do give twice back. Love, understanding and loyaltu
Excellent presentation. Liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.
🙏👍❤️
Thank you for the kind, sober view. Stay well!
Mark Thank you too!
Another great vid guys. I'm hooked
Awesome! Thank you Mark
It’s great to see you guys having a good life in the Philippines, your videos are always so informative and an added bonus that you talk about CDO! I’m heading there for the first time in 6 weeks, can’t wait!
Hopefully the heat wave should be over. - hope to see you here
Loved this vid, subscribed! 👍
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for information for those of us who want to see what a higher budget can provide there.
Anytime, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
I believe that a single person having $1,500 US Dollars is sufficient. Having been stationed at Clark Air Base (Angeles) back in 1991 at age 28. Now age 61 and getting close to retirement. I am a widower, my children are grown now. I am considering moving to CEBU CITY or Makati Manila area. Retire under America 🇺🇸 military 🪖 Philippines sponsored SRRV program. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching the video and taking time to comment
Great topic although money is definitely an advantage where every one resides. However let’s keep in mind our health is our greatest priority and wealth. Really enjoyed this thanks for sharing ✌🏾
Thanks for the positive feedback
When I worked in the Middle East in the 80s I ran a commercial analytical laboratory. I hired Philippine chemists from Manila and paid them approx 60000 pesos a month.
Thanks for sharing Steve
Love this
🙏👍❤️
You guys are cute together enjoy thanks for the look at your life
😊 thank you Scott
You guys are tempting me hard. My initial plan was to live in Manila because my kids will need to take two exams per year in our embassy, but seeing how well you live in CDO and how dirt cheap are flights, I don't know anymore.
I guess I'll need to make a three-month exploratory travel beforehand!
Yes, check it out and thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment
Iloilo sounds beautiful place and 4 hours drive to Boracay. God bless you always.
Yes, we want to go there, but we may end up in Baguio or Puerta Galera this trip. Thanks for the suggestion.
You have already encouraged me. I have just booked accommodation for January next year. I look forward to hearing your tips from your journey. Thank you
Awesome thanks for the feedback. Let me know how we can help.
Well, everyone is different and you can't please everyone. I will definitely learn a lot from your next videos. But for an exploratory visit like mine, first of all it would be useful to know whether to rely only on credit/debit cards and withdraw cash. Or maybe it's worth bringing some euros in my case and exchanging them on the spot.
Only bring €200 in cash and rely on a debit card and a credit card that you keep locked up in the hotel safe get a second debit card that has no foreign transaction fees and has a small balance when you leave to go outside in case you lose it
So happy I ventured to the Philippines 🇵🇭! Living in Angeles City now for 18 months.
Missing it very much as I am in the USA now visiting family and taking care of business!
Go to Baguio for 4 days if you have never been; fly to Clark and catch a direct bus from Dau bus station
Love the advice definitely thinking of doing it in the next month
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines if you do go. Get on the bus that goes on the expressway (T-Plex) to avoid all the stops on the old highway.
@@herbigp 👍 Thanks
Damn! I have not been though the old Clark Air Force Base since 1979. Even back then Baguio was pure bliss.
Dear Chrissy and Rob - another interesting topic, who doesn't want more bang for their buck. But the prices are one thing, the infrastructure is another. I, for my part, have reached an age where I really appreciate everything working 100% around me all the time. I'm also not good at things that crawl around on floors and walls :-) Best regards from Denmark😂😂
Hi Ben great to hear from you again hope all is well in Denmark. It’s interesting those things crawling around I’ve gotten used to them
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Well my friend - I'm sure I wouldn't.🤣🤣
AWSOME ❤
Interesting perspective
What are the political views of the average Filipino
Honestly I don’t know and like it that way. They only seem focused 6 weeks before elections
Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks Jamie 🙏
One suggestion guys.
When you make reference to a prior video, put a link to that video in the description.
Thanks for the feedback
Great blog guys the more I watch the more I think I should live in the Philippines
Thanks, Paul
Baguio! I would love to hear your perspective and another what did it cost. Lol! Here in the West we never get tired of hearing what's possible.
Thanks for the suggestion. Stay tuned.
Great as usual !!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Video! Thank you for the information! May I ask where do you living in the Philippines? The place you are renting looks beautiful. Hopefully will be there in less than a year! Keep up the videos!
Yes, correct CDO, thanks
Always love the facts and stats u provide.......
Thanks for the positive feedback
Very 🎉cool
Thanks for the positive feedback Nathan
Great Video with good info! You are making the next few years till I can go difficult!! 😅 And beach video is my vote!
Fingers crossed! Thanks for the suggestion
I vote for Baguio. Or any area with a cooler climate. Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching John and thanks for the suggestion
Great video! Visiting the Philippines for a month starting in late May. Your videos have given me a lot of greatly appreciated inspiration.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Wish you the best on your trip.
@ArizonaCamper - go in the middle of summer,during the very hot and humid months of April to July to see if you will like it.
@@user-xs8re2oy7i I’m actually doing that. Meant to say late May. Edited now. I might stay two months in the Philippines. Arriving in Cebu and departing from Bangkok.
@@AZ_Bill I am glad you are,good.pay attention to negative things that people have to live with and see if you can live with those.
Wife and I will be both retired Army, but we have young kids. We should have something around 10k a month. Our biggest concern is schools for our kids.
Check out this house in CDO - best private schools nearby and international schools downtown

Thank you for the informative video. I may go that way in 4 or 5 years.
You can do it Mike
Rob & Chrissy, another home run guys. Your videos are so very informative and give us much to think about.
This is what sets you apart from the rest.
I look forward to your next video.
Thanks Bob a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for your support and your positive feedback.
What a nice house you two are living in in a beautiful view, I'm doing just OK here in the Phoenix area, the cost of living is going up dramatically. I have my Social Security, Air Force, retirement and VA disability compensation and after doing the conversion just now it's almost 500,000 pesos a month. And with that I'm still just doing OK here in Phoenix.
only thing that's keeping me from moving to the Philippines is my three grandkids that live 2 miles away that are at my house all the time.
With your tale, I'd do 1,2 then 6 month trips
@@michaelbalicanta6700he can live well in Phoenix with that amount,why would you go anywhere.
Thanks, Pat for viewing our channel and sharing
Great video! Here are the other very important questions on infrastructure. What about quality of roads? Is the electric grid reliable? Is the water safe to drink? What about health care? If you are an older American, that becomes an issue and a factor in deciding where to live. I am assuming Medicare will not pay the Phillipine hospitals for your care?????
Thanks for the suggestions and yes, Medicare will not pay however, you can fly to Guam
Great video Rob and Chrissy. Are there available places for rent in your area similar to what you have?
Not in my subdivision but many near by gated communities
Her English is so good
Thanks so much, Ronald
Rob: it’s megabits not megabytes. Storage capacity on a drive is measured in megabytes. The volume of data that is moved when downloading or uploading is measured in megabits 🙃
Thanks, Ken
Thank you Kens - always good to be reminded about the details. There is another misconception between bits and bites, which explains that ultimately the physical size of the sensor is what ultimately defines the resolution of a digital fine.
This topic would be worth a video on its own.
Land here is crazy expensive! 4046 SQM to an acre. Even if you could find cheap land at 1k per SQM that’s 4046000 php or over 68k usd an acre.
Thanks for watching the video and sharing that
Because of the very hot weather in Cebu there is a water shortage. Many Expats are having to buy water to be delivered. Sounds like CDO is a very nice. Although Expats are usually men retiring women could also feel very rick in PI. Allot of very nice PI men.
Thanks for sharing Yes, we are having a heat wave for the last three weeks here and there’s been some water interruption and Cdo also.
Rob, love the videos and good information. Wondering if you do any downloadable documents on banking and financial management between US earnings and Philippines living? PDF files with recommended info from your videos to use for planning to make the move??
This could be another income stream for you.
I have a pdf on 70 items for preparation to move. Email flymetothephilippines@gmail.com
Yes, very informative and entertaining to watch your videos. Find myself checking your channel daily for what's new. And yes, always fun to see Chrissy dancing, as you well know. See you both on the next one!
Thanks for watching Dragon
Hey , I just watched you lr video . Very cool ! Are there any American cars there ? Cool affordable sports cars ? Thanks !
Mostly Ford Konomi cars and pick ups lots of Chinese cars very inexpensive
I imagine prices will start moving up, though, with all the wealthy foreigners arriving in the Philippines. I recently visited Dumaguete and I saw the numbers for myself.
Foreigners have definitely had an impact on Dumaguete, however a bigger city like Cdo or IloIlo not likely as much or too soon
Interesting video. But flying around Asia at those prices is flying with budget Airlines Like Cebu Pacific, Jetstar , Air Asia or Scoot. Scheduled full service airlines will be double that price you mentioned.
Yes, exactly
Yes, exactly
Rob and Chrissy, you ask about career ideas for Chrissy. It seems in my mind she is already there with her certifications and education. I think as much as teaching English pays in most countries in Southeast Asia, that she could get quite a client list as a teacher teaching English. Unless I'm wrong learning English is a serious commodity for much of Southeast Asia and Pace Bank. From what I hear. My sources are teachers from Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand. So maybe there's still a real market for online education that you could start your own website and even advertise that on CZcams
Also, I don't know where the the bank comment came from. My auto spell is really stupid right now
👍
😀
G’day Rob and Chrissy
I have been watching your videos since the start and wanted to drop by and say how much my wife and I enjoy your inspiring videos.
Excellent content and great interaction between the both of you. We are retiring this week, sold everything and moving from Las Vegas on to May 8th to BGC and then down to CEBU at the end of June.
We will look for a condo is Cebu.
Never been to the Philippines before; but have been fortunate to have travelled to several countries.
We would love to visit Cagayan de Oro one
day.
Cheers
Andrew and Monica
Andrew and Monica, thank you for writing and for your kind words and your continued support. Best of luck with your move.
here's a video suggestion: show how nice the golf courses are. That one image you show looked like a nice groomed green. about $25?
Unfortunately..golf is expensive here in the Philippines for equal quality to the USA
Yes $25 with caddy
$854 USD monthly for your home. Sheesh, no wonder I have been clearing out my house and packing my bag. (I'll be arriving with my carry-on only). My retirement income, that's set for life, is net ₱392,000 monthly.
This seems like a no-brainer to me.
You will be happy here
Great vid
Thanks for the feedback, Magnus
What a great video!!!!sadly there are many Filipinos are not making the 10,957 pesos a month.
For those expats that are living on $600 a month in my opinion is not living a good life it’s existing ! I know people have limited means however I spend at least $1000 a month traveling with the Philippines.
Thanks Kevin for watching our video and giving your feedback
Our average spending per month is around $2500 for everything. So you are correct, those that come here living on $600 out of a total of $1500 a month are not living great... They are simply living. But in their defense, back in their countries, they would end up homeless. SO they tend to go where they can afford to live.
Try living in California with that $600.
@@user-xs8re2oy7i Try living in most cities of ANY state in the America with that.... California is no worse than any other state... period. But instead of pointing out how a state is expensive, you might want to understand that cost of living is determined by those who supply the goods by which people need to live. Capitalism is the root cause of homelessness... Trickle down economics has always hurt the poor.
WOW i over budgeted im 48 a retired Aussie male and thought it was much more expensive for running a house ill be coming next February and travelling to lots of islands for 3 month's to really see if its my kinda of place i 0want to live on a great beach with a dock cos im going to buy a boat to go fishing alot and i wont be looking for a wife either im happier alone with these prices i can really live the high life with no stress at all on money cant wait for February
You sound like a pretty fortunate fellow
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Invested in the right things at the right time half skill half luck 💪 👍
Good video guys. I am from Europe and Euro is strong also. Interresting, because when you talk with local, it's not so easy to get these information. You can guess only. Continue like that to get this approach of true things. People like youtubers who explain clearly and thruly. Thanks. Me I have been 2 times in Philippines, Manila, Cebu and Mindanao. Think about leaving Europe to go in Philippines. Take care, salamat
Thanks for the positive feedback very interesting. Thoughts
I've been watching you two for a while now and love the videos. I have a question. We're usually talking about older guys coming to the Philippines and sooner or later they die. Do they usually have a pre-arrangement to have their body shipped back home to be buried, or do they choose to be buried in the Philippines?
🤔
In Florida lunch yesterday at a rural restaurant with lemonade was $40 for 2
Thanks for sharing John
The US dollar is high right now but the Philippines has or is considering in ditching the dollar as the reserve currency and going to BRICS.. So I am wondering if that happens, will it have an effect on the buying power of the US dollar.
Since China is the defacto leader of BRICS and security concerns center on China I don’t see it happening anytime soon
My friend was asking if there are any inclusive resorts in the Philippines like Mexico?
Yes, they have them here. I think Boracay and El Nito search TripAdvisor for all inclusive Philippines.
Always great videos Ms Chrissy! po. Your grandpa is very funny but he seems to want to be in every one of your videos. hehehe. He's good to you. ❤💛
Yes! Thank you!
Please share which areas in Mindanao besides Davao City that are safe for foreigners. I am considering cooler areas such as Lake Sebu, Malaybalay City, Lantapan, and Kidapawan City. Please share if you consider these areas safe. Thank you.
I have only been to Malabalay, and prefer not to encourage others to rely on my knowledge which is limited. Perhaps you could post question on fb group PhilippineExpats
I have $3K per month SS and more than $200K saved and, at age 66, I think it is enough. I could earn some money online, as well, but guessing not necessary. Stay well. AJ
I think you’re in a good place. It’s not way more than you need and it’s not less than you need.
Good luck. I earn $9000 US a month and live low-middle income.
Another disabled handicap here?
The husband looks very healthy and relatively young though he once said he is 60-plus.
👍😁
Have a question.
I enjoy your content and your clear delivery.
Specially in this video you sound like you really want to sell the Ph experience.
Is there a specific reason for that?
I am from the US but now I live half in Europe and half in the US but will be less in the US in the future.
Thanks
We make videos on subjects that the viewers find interesting and results and more views, and this subject seems to be always something that generates interest
The reality of the Philippines is that although by the US and other Western economies comparison we pay a lot less in the Philippines, but the Economy in the West is multiples larger and there is no real comparison from that perspective. That said yes you can live in the PI more affordably but in a lot of areas of the economy there you will get less in terms of quality. For expats there are multitude of considerations that should be researched with a Critical eye so you are not underestimating the many areas of life and quality of life Indexes. Another consideration is it really your new home or are you a visitor that is staying long? Most US and Westerners will inevitably return primarily because of family, financial considerations, and near end of life wishes. Do not wear Rose colored glasses be a realist and not paint a unrealistic expectation and lifestyle.
Charles, you make some good points
You have to find your place on earth,make you priorities,what's important for one is not for others.
I would have to say that you are the richest guy in the world to capture the heart of Chrissy sorry if I spelled It wrong but all the money in the world does not compare to her beauty and personality. Money is not as important to me as finding someone as good as her and as pretty as her. I am trying to make a trip and find someone as beautiful as Chrissy might be hard there but as close as I can get to her. Thank you for all your effort. Best wishes to both of you.
Thanks for the kind words Robert let me know if I can help you. You can email me anytime.
Another excellent video! I’d love to see you guys go surfing in Siargao and also go to Boracay. Pick two top beach destinations anyways! I’d love for you to do a video on how a foreigner can purchase a home through a corporation. Example would be put my friends who are Filipino citizens and wife and family as the majority and the foreigner as the minority 49% or children once we have them…I’m not sure how it works? That’s why I think it would be a good video topic and Rob may want to buy a house someday…Lastly the casual dress is great! But my Filipina was so upset I wear only 1 pair of shorts and had only 2 shirts on my last trip, she was washing my shirt every night since I always spill on the front! I definitely felt some affection about her attention to my cloths. I thought I could buy shirts in Cebu but all were too small!
Often attorneys will create a corporation where six Filipinos who don’t know each other get 10% of the corporation and you keep 40% and because the other people don’t know each other and don’t have a way to find each other and coordinate you become the managing partner thanks for the suggestion
Wow.What a great life you two have made for yourseves.
❤️🙏
Please go to Baguio 😊
Thanks for the suggestion
Why?
23:00 "The men just wear T-shirt shorts and sandals". That's all I wear because I live in Hawaii. I'm not rich on US standards in any means, but my house is worth at least 1.3 mil, plus I have a decent amount in retirement investments. Do I cash out and go to the Philippines?
I love Hawaii I would be hard-pressed to recommend anybody leave it
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines OK, thank you very much for your input.
Rob an Chrissy, Do you know what the ONE topic that has never been discussed {or} brought up in the past??
Its the history of the phils. Does anyone know why the Illiconos are north an Visayan are in the south? Does anyone know what Polowan was used for during the control of Spain? Maybe it would be a topic? I think it would. Because there is a specific reason why the tribes are spread out. Best wishes..
Thanks, Allen. I’m a history buff and I like the suggestion. Let me think about it and research whether it has a chance of getting decent views.
I found this episode to be very useful, mainly because it addresses the situation of many USA Social Security recipients.
Thanks for your feedback and for watching our video
Idk if youve done a video like this before but it would be great if you did a video of how to get started retiring there for an american couple pros cons challenges etc. So far i know i have the cash to do it fortwenty plus years well after retirement money starts rolling in.
Finding a place tp rent with land seems a massive challenge so far but in early stages.

I think the word affluent would be a more appropriate term. Which you’ve described is an affluent lifestyle, not a rich lifestyle per se.
You may be correct
The ribeye steak is a bit pricey at Cuesta Roccia, but that is expected without a large beef industry, like in the U.S. Every place has its trade offs, and I shouldn't be eating lots of red meat anyway. 😁
I was tempted by the tenderloin. It’s more reasonable, but yes, I don’t eat much beef here.
I am on the central coast of California (Monterey, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach) and am planning on making a month long exploratory trip to the Philippines late 2025. I have several concerns about retiring there and first and foremost is the hot and humid weather. Where I live near the ocean and average day is 70F and there is zero sticky high humidity. I’ve been researching slightly higher elevations with cooler climates. Baguio sounded good but it appears to be absolutely jam packed with people which would rule it out for me. If you visit there I’d love to get your thoughts about the weather (might be too cold and rainy), internet quality and the overcrowding especially in the summertime. Great video! CDO is now on my list and for larger cities I really like Davao City over Cebu for several reasons.
Davao is very interesting
@JimMillsCSLC- considering where you live in California,you probably won't like the heat and high humidity.
This video needs to be sponsored by the Philippines B I or Philippines Department of Tourism.

@@dominicgerodano5481 Exactly, As an American that's lived here in the Philippines over 30+ years and I speak the language and I'm a dual citizen this is nothing new however it's not easy living here for most that have lived in developed countries. Most of their lives. I easily adjusted when I came here. I was earning dollars and had all the conveniences of the west overtime I transitioned into normal society started a business and now in my retirement net about 13K USD a month I have six children. They're all adults and professionals. I have a very comfortable life here. Most people don't live like me. Very few expats can last here more then 10 years

It took me a while to figure out that "we made a movie" meant you made a VIDEO. 😂
Like Warner Wolf, let’s go to the videotape
Boracay 🥳
We love it there we stay on the bay to save money. It’s only a seven minute walk across the island to the white beach area and D Mall thanks for taking the time to provide a comment
Thank you, I’m really enjoying your guises videos. Very well done and professional. I am fairly young still but you definitely have my hamster wheel turning. I wanted to ask, although I’m not necessarily into the bar scene, I really do enjoy to watch live music. What parts of the Philippines would be the best for this? Thanks again. Also, I would like to see you to vacation to Iloilo.
Thanks for the positive feedback and the suggestion. I think you’ll find the most live music in the Manilla Makati area. Filipinos are famous famous for being great singers and there are hotel bands everywhere.
How much would it cost to buy that property the house and the land it sits on ?
Not exactly sure, but my estimate is 500,000 USD or more. There are some homes close to the main road selling for 17 million Philippine pesos, but this property is bigger and on a prime lot.
Great video content but who edited the screen shots? 😢
Me - Chrissy
Am I responsible for something? 🧐
😉👉 I think that my 1971 VW Beetle would fit nicely in the Phillipines ... _?_
I love it. I’m just not sure they could handle the bumps on the road.
What made you settle down there?
Chrissy‘s family lives five hours south. It’s not the best place for a foreigner in Central Mindanao. And another Vlogger had rated Cdo as the number one place to live for Expats.
What is name of town you are living in? Thanks
Cagayan de Oro
Love your videos 🙌🏼 I'm not sure if you all have answered this before but how is the night life in CDO?
It’s a great question we don’t typically go out late at night. We don’t like to drive at night in the Philippines. It’s quite hazardous, but you can take taxis and enjoy the clubs and good restaurants.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines thanks for the info. Maybe an idea for a later video for us younger expats looking at CDO

Such low wages, how do the local Filipino buy some of the houses 10mil and up?
Because they have work or Family Working overseas, or they are some of the Rich / well connected Familys in the Country. Many buys 2 or more Condos for investment and hire them out, when finished.
There is an entrepreneur class here not much of a middle management class but entrepreneurs who own businesses, restaurants, tire, shops, etc.
Only issues I am having is how to have access to my VA and SS retirement. Need to figure out how to pay bills and have a few debit cards to insure access. Would love a bank institution that I can use both in the USA and PH.
I keep my address in the USA and receive my Social Security. No problem. I use PayPal and I have a Schwab card linked to my US address. I’m able to transfer money and pay all my bills. Other people I know have opened up bank accounts here in the Philippines and they have their Social Security, deposited directly, however they must file a letter every year with Social Security to continue receiving payments

Filipino are real travellers ..I’m amazed that they are always scooting around to different locations whether on day trips or visiting family etc. My fiancée is the same age and she’s a real adventurer. I taught her drive a year ago and she loves driving around ..she know realises the freedom transport gives you personally. It depends on your location but before we lived in Manila so we just used grab etc. No we live in Subic freeport ..ya defo need transport for shopping, the gym and touring. Insurance is really strange in the phil’s as although it’s not cheap for a nice car ..it’s on the car and not on the level of the person driving it etc. Ie I have three cars ..one was 9 million and you pay anybody can drive it insurance ..so my fiancée can drive it with limited experience.
Thanks for watching our videos and sharing your comment about cars and car insurance. Very interesting.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Most secondhand cars have Uber mileage here..if ya can afford best just to buy a new one if ya can afford it..especially Chinese brands are great value and fords are priced reasonably but if your European don’t think about owning the likes of a Porsche or a Maclaren they are 2-3 times the cost of the west.
Thanks for the advice
