Migs,
Welcome. I am glad you visited and commented. Long time no see, both online and off.
It really was not an interview, it was a set of questions to answer, but yes, Lizza emailed me.
Keep visiting and commenting.

Hi Bruce, Migs here. Who interviewed you, if I may ask? Was it someone by the name of Lizza?

Cheers!

Hi Bruce – I believe that living on $1,500 per month is comfortable, but $2,000 is realistic too.

I thought your interview was good, you gave realistic answers.

Tom,
As you know, I try to live cautiously and still spend clost to $1000 a month.
Also with the state of the world economy, I am trying to watch our spending too.
I only use Aircon when I sleep and try to keep lights out when not needed. I also try to eat at places that are not expensive but can still eat things I enjoy.

I am glad you were honest about the amount needed to live in the Philippines comfortably. I am so tired of reading sites that say you can LIVE LIKE A KING on 350 dollars a month. I to believe it takes about $2000 a month to live a western style life. I spend more, but it is because I eat all meals except breakfast out in a first class restaurants, I pay about 1000 pesos every ten days for laundry service, I pay my caregiver 3500 a week and that is more than most pay two house people for a month and all of my townhouse is aircondition so my electric bill is high.
