Im 36 years old and pretty much a lone wolf who lives a simple life just going to the gym a few times a week and cooking my own meals at home, almost never party besides then having occasional fun on the weekends and or save up for a trip to another island sometimes. Il have around 1200 dollars a month and i know i can manage just fine on that in most of south east Asia, i can get a helluva lot more quality of life on that down there than my country.

I will say I have wanted to try living off of $500 a month just for one month. It’s all about eating healthy to me and that is no processed food. I have the funds now to retire in the Philippines. My budget would be around $2500 till social security kicks in.

Hi, i guess it depends on your lifestyle into, a Normal Lifestyle can make your $1, 000 last for a month but if you're living into an extravagant style you'll be needing a thousand/s more dollars coming to you monthly👍👍👍

It depends on how your lifestyle everyday. 😊. Live simple and you'll be fine.

1500 is a safe space and 2000 is cool. I have a condo in Manila. Bought it in 2014. Things have changed over the years but I like the simplicity. My gf works full time and she’s not a liability lol. We just chill and have fun. We’re both older so what else is there really to do except grow old together😂😂

I think $2000/mo is the new $1000/mo for a baseline decent but no caviar and lobster type budget. Your high maintenance lady friend may not like you living on 2k a month, but that is definitely doable without sacrificing all that much. I am going to try and aim for that as I don't have access to my retirement accounts for another 9 years. I could up it to 3k a month if I really wanted to.

I look at it as silver gold and platinum levels
Silver $2000
Gold $3000
Platinum $4000
Diamond $5000 plus

I'm thinking 2000 monthly. I'm 64 years old, don't drink, my player days are over.

[ericemslie]

I don’t know how you guys do it. I’m still tring to keep my monthly budget under 10K
