Part 2 - Can I Live On $2,000 A Month In The Philippines?

Recommended Posts

Jack single tournament wins of over $3,000 are required to be reported. the events i am playing in do not pay $3,000 for a win, hence they are not required to be reported. The rule changed a few years back when a win of over 300 to 1 over the cost of fees for the event was the tax accountability threshold. If you are what is considered a black tag or professional player you are required to report your live game winnings , but non professionals carry no responsibility of reporting winnings from live play.

I will not be having over $10,000 in an overseas account at any time. If i need money i can transfer from my retirement accounts to my bank over the internet and have it posted in 24 hours.   Later Poker Mike

Someone reiterated a fact a while back on this thread... If you live on $xxx in your home country, you can live better in the Philippines on that same amount. I'm becoming a fan of taking the amount out of the thread titles.

:D

this question is all about each persons comfort level and what your willing to sacrifice.

 

Iv'e lived there for $700 a month that's with my wife and daughter but the comfort level was low (no eating out & no taxi's)

 

Than again I can spend $2000 in a week and be no more content.

 

What are you willing to sacrifice to live in the Philippine's???

Personally I can't see what there is to sacrifice, given all we say about our own Countries sometimes.

Why would we need to sacrifice anything?

(But I will probably need to sacrifice good Internet, because probably there will be no good mobile Internet available where I want to settle RURAL. I can even need to adjust where to settle to get ANY Internet (except satelite, which is very expensive.)
