Question

I p;an to move there (Philippines) and I'm current getting Disibality from Social Security

Answer 1

Yea its a lot cheaper , you can live like a king , have someone wash your cloths for 25 bucks a month ,  not sure how safe it is but cheap

Answer 2

Yes, some opted to stay here with about the same income as yours and live much better than if you stay in the US. Not like a king but more than the average people.

Answer 3

if you are getting your social security from USA and you wish to transfer to Philippines, yes its much much cheaper here compared to USA.  you can live on 1800USD here and as what the other have said, live like a king.  Household help goes for 50 to  75 bucks a month, who does the laundry and house cleaning.

safety, well depends which city you wish to be in.  however, safety in USA and Philippines are not much different, really.  you can get mugged in USA but in the Phils, that is not a regular occurence

Answer 4

I am doing what you want to do and yes it is much cheaper.
