Low Cost of Living in the Philippines
Many expats are choosing to move for the Philippines for its warm weather, beautiful beaches, and low cost of living. For less than a studio apartment in Los Angeles, an expat can live a lavish lifestyle in the Philippines. A three-bedroom condo in major cities can be found for less than $500 a month; the same size can be found for less than $150 in beach areas. The price of food from a restaurant is $2-3 and a domestic draft beer is less than $1. You can even retire to the Philippines with $100,000 in savings. With these prices, it is no wonder why so many people are moving to the Philippines each year.
