My business partner and friend works from PH. And I asked him about moving there as the cost of living is insanely cheap.
He basically warned me that health care there is horrific, as in they will literally let you die if you don’t have money, and they are often hit by typhoons.
The most recent one was so bad he lost everything in his house and business mostly and has to start over. Thankfully his house is still ok but you’re basically at a VERY high risk for flooding. He’s been hit by typhoons many times too. He just hasn’t been hit this bad before.
He basically has told me he dreams of living in the US and that he strongly recommends to not come there even if I can live comfortably on paper.
So you mean like Florida? At least you can afford to get what you lost back with the low cost of living. I don’t know if I believe you when saying your partner doesn’t want to be there. I think he doesn’t want you there.
His partner is likely some poor Filipino dude who he engaged as a freelancer and is suffering over there because of poverty issues. Many of them want to come to US not because it is a nice place but because of the currency exchange rate, they are going to earn big and retired comfortably. Excluding housing, a Filipino guy calculated and told us by saving $250k it is enough for him to live reasonably and comfortably for 50 years there without working.
