BrettGC Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Just a quick one guys, what percentage of your net do you spend on rent and what are you getting and where are you? I'm working on a rough figure of about 20% based on my rents here in Aust now and in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We own so we don't pay Rent per say but based on my life, at 20% for rent you are either on a very low rent or a kin Large salary. My friend het gets 50.00 peso a month and he pays 10.000 in Rent so that would equate for you at 20% but then I have a neighbour here that gets 80.000 per month and pays 16.000 so it is about the same on the Other Hand we have some acquaintances that are on 150.000 and Pay 25.000 So up a Little but I reckon you may be good on your 20% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a max amount so the more I can get for less the better. The rents here in Aust are insane in most places so I may be overestimating on the percentage amount with regards to PH and I'm planning for "worst case scenario" rather than "pie in the sky". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on a rough figure of about 20% based on my rents here in Aust now and in the past. 23% Brett, but there are better deals around here, that is for furnished shitty old style apartment. 2 br unfurnished around here for 8-10k but you have to wait for a decent home, some are like shit holes. Furnishings will cost about 140-160k for basic stuff, but sufficient to be comfortable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettGC Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 Based on previous experience from friends, I'm also guessing it's probably better to get a local to make the initial inquiry? When I was with the ex, I saw quite dramatic price differences between locals and us western types on a range of things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 I'm paying 16,000 plus about 5,000 for a one bedroom apartment with a balcony in Sabang, Oriental Mindoro. Food is about 100 peso more expensive per meal out here than the nearby town of Puerto Galera due to the amount of ex pats here. Beer can be up to 50 peso more expensive what with us all being rich. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
