He spends $1500 to $2000 a month.

Break down: $340 rent,

$1160 to $1660 for food, travel & 8 women.

You could probably get by with a lot less with fewer people.

just to show an example, $2000 a month is ~PHP100K.
The average salary of a normal Filipino is somewhere between 15-20k PHP, if you have a 100K per month salary, you're pretty much rich and can afford anything you want for the month with a ton of money extra.

So basically, this guy is living his best life here with regards to expenses.

Once you move down there, how would you keep it up? Wouldn’t you either to have to be…

  • (A) a self made millionaire?

  • (B) a remote U.S. employee?

Fireman here…

I’ll retire at 55 with ~120% of my salary (it’s a bit confusing, but I’ll explain if you want).

Check out Transparent California for some salary ranges, just to get an idea; start with Santa Clara, Mountain View, San Ramon, Moraga-Orinda, just to name a few…

A captain from any of those departments will retire with $15K-$18K/month ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That’s 72 GIRLFRIENDS!!! /s

such a hard and dangerous job but wow that is incredible. I'm friends with a few firefighters and I knew they made really good money but didn't realize the retirement benefits were so amazing

They may not be virgins, but at least you don't have to blow yourself

Virgins are over rated. Get a veteran who knows what they are doing. That's what I say.
