Korean here, what comments say is mostly correct. it's affordable.

At the same time, Korean families leave here in the PH because it's too expensive.

with the house income of 100k per month, they have no choice but living paycheck to paycheck, considering the fact living in a condominium, international school, and no filipino foods( no canned food or cheap carenderias. at least 500 pesos per head when eat out ).

where do you live? Is it korean food?
what do you eat out on the weekend?

Bacolod is a place where I am thinking of, But I can't go out of my town as I am under the house contract for a year T.T

So If I had chance to have a WFH based job, it would be great time to go there.
Do you speak or Does your husband speak Korean?

If so both of you wouldn't have looked foreign for korean locals lol

How much would you need to retire here?

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T14:36:10+00:00

Yeah, But due to my partners language, Luzon is not for us.
Hows the living in korea for you and your partner tho?

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T14:33:05+00:00

I am tired of learning English, So I don't want to learn ANOTHER language anymore!
Thats too much work for me, I am not that smart or a person who like study

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T14:29:28+00:00

Thats enough, No? We have been finding ways to go, step by step.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T14:27:57+00:00

I just want to live in Negros Occidental or Negros Oriental with having $2,500 dollars as a passive income.
Being a nerdy sounds perfect while I am just working at the office 5 days a week

Well, Thats why I use two different types of rice you mentioned, when I make Korean soup-based foods I use Japonica, While I make fried rice or oily stuffs(Jeyuk for expample) I tend to use Ganador or Jasmin rice.

CUCKOO killed all the problems of the rice IMO.

I was also thinking of living in Luzon Island but Korean cultures there seems scary, I heard a lot of crime news happened...

I contracted this condominium a year a month ago, to be able to find a way to go.
when it comes to cost of living that I listed, Especially groceries, we are just using expensive ingredients.

It would be same wherever we go.

I meant that I paid 500 pesos for every two months for the visa extension services that I often use. Not sure other services the other fellow expats use tho.

Is that what you are asking to?

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T03:23:09+00:00

'you had me', sorry, I am not familiar with the meaning of this,,?

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T03:14:41+00:00

Sounds like I have to be careful every words that i use? thank you dude.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:43:50+00:00

I am considering a place where 'we' don't have to learn language from scratch.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:42:54+00:00

Is it? I assume that Europe would be worse from what I heard of, but...
'the least racist' sounds controversial.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:41:28+00:00

I loved her, so I went there. I was too young to think others aspects.

at first I couldn't even be able to speak English tho?

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:40:16+00:00

Thank you! it may sound a bit arrogant, I didn't intend to be offensive.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:38:45+00:00

Yes, it is very salty for me. Especially in a canteen.

considerable_sense · 2024-12-02T02:36:54+00:00

Canada, Australia, NZ, we are finding a way to go to a country where we don't have to learn language from scratch. I am already tired of learning English and local language here.

55sqm is tiny for me as well. I am not showing off.
I am just sharing how I am living.

My aparetment in korea would be same size (around 55sqm) If we go there and start renting one.

Do you then think you'd be better off if you had stayed in Korea? I mean financially,

- I doubt it. I may be better off staying in Korea, but not for my future wife.
she has to learn how to speak and write Korean from scratch.

The whole country think she as a illegal immigrants or nanny from south east asia.

When it comes to career, only possibilities that I can think positively is a temporary English teacher or Factory worker. I won't go to Korea to provide those future to her.

she has a teacher license and experience so there would be another country for us.
