I do this as a tribute to Manila which is our home for last three years allmost. Manila is the city where our three year old todder slowly becoming the boy that he is now. Salcedo village in Manila is the island where we have extremely nice Indian friends and community that we didnt have evn in India. Community sans the bitter struggle.
If we doesnt have care for money then its pointless to talk of money. Hence, I would just mention my sense of what someone concience of money would like to spend to live a good life.
Salcedo village is the place to stay. An office area, yet have all the trappings of a perfectly peaceful residential area. These are condo's Im talking about. 1BR rent would be 20k-35k Peso where 2BRK can be have at 50-65k.
St Augustine school in Dasmarina's village is recommened, extremely good quality of education at 75k Peso/yr.
Since we do grocery and vegetables ar SM mall and other malls in Makati area, we spend 3-
3.5kPeso every week. If one is willing to go to wet market, this can comedown somewhat.
A decent meal would cost 100-150Peso at KFC, Mc Donalds. Other restaurant, it would be 200-600peso. Varieties galore.
A just massage would cost 300-1000Peso.
One hour badminton course rental is 75Peso.
bad haircut would be 75Peso, good haitcut would be 180-500Peso.
Medicines are very very expensive. One can ask friends back in India to buy the medicines of themselves, we do.
Electricity is costly, easily 5k/month. Water would cost 1k Peso. maid would cost 5k Peso - all in per month basis.
A decent living would cost around 75k.
