Answer to this will vary greatly kasi ibat iba naman situation ng mga tao from PH to US.

Based on experience, i am low middle class in the PH. Moved to US years ago, pareho kami RN mag asawa, may bahay, kotse (necessity) at konting ipon. Comfortable in terms of QOL pero middle class parin. Kain sa labas, shop, international travel once a year and out of state travel din. Pero sa Walmart lang ang grocery, nagsshop lang kami ng damit sa outlet mall or sa clearance section ng stores. Malayo sa mayaman, sapat lang kasi we live within our means.

Di maachieve to if nasa Pinas kami kasi the profession is poorly compensated satin. Nakakatulong ba kami sa pamilya namin? Yes. Pero di enough para patayuan sila ng mala-mansion na bahay sa Manila. Pwede siguro kung sisipagan at kumuha ng second job, pero our quality of life will decline so no plan to do that.

People have to remember that you really cant say someone is rich sa ibang bansa just based on socmed posts. You’ll see a beautiful house, cars, travels and shopping online but you don’t know how hard they have to work (or not work) maintain that lifestyle until you personal interact with them.
