How much is $100 American dollars to someone in the Philippines
 

How far does $100 american dollars go?
I have no idea, does that enough to pay someones rent? is it a car payment? far less?

I have someone from the Philippines who has been doing work for me and Im wondering how far my money is going

52:1 us dollar is strong. pay him 10 bucks a day

$100 USD = 5,263.00 PHP (Philippines Pesos)

Not sure what the avg. rent is but that sounds like alot, lol.

10 bucks aday, I want those kind of grunt workers too :upsidedow

ok good
I saw this on craigslist, a 3 bedroom rental, 14th floor with nice views for PHP20000 (Is that pesos? I dont even know)

So then $400 American dollars can pay for a large 3 bedroom apartment a month right?

20,000.00 PHP (Philippines Pesos) = 380.011 USD

Jesus, I need to move to the philippines. I pay $500/mo for a bedroom in my sister's house LOL.

I talked to a guy from there. He worked at a bank and made $5k a year. He was all excited to come to the US and make $30k. The bank provided uniforms, health insurance and had 3 of those extra months. So it was a good job and he said he was not living big.

over here for $500.00 a month you can rent ok townhouse in a complex with swimming pool etc, but for my ADSL I pay like 100 times more than anybody else in the World

what most of the people think is that you'll get the same quiality of life in a 3rd World country for 10 times less money than in the States, well, there's a good reason why they're called 3rd World countries on a first place ;)

Everything is definitly cheaper out there but ... it's a 3rd world country. It depends what kind of life you wanna live I guess.

i know several people living very happily there

PHP5k can pay for a house rent, but still depends if he's renting a condo minimum rent "condo" for now is PHP10K.

everything's cheaper in the Philippines, a lot of tourists prefer to live here and do business cause you get enough work done in a few $$.

All my FOOD (Breakfast, lunch, dinner) cost me under $5.00 today.

haha, fuck, hopefully he doesn't come to the US for the 30k. If you make 30k pre tax in this country you do not have health insurance.

that does sound like a fuckload of money :1orglaugh

depends on where you are in the philippines.

in the provinces 100usd (5k+ php) will rent a small house or nice apartment in cities like dumaguete or some parts of cebu.

but if you want air cond or cable internet then triple that.

You can live like a king in the phullppines for fraction of the cost loving decent here

Too bad it gave you food poisoning which led to diarhea for half the day.

and you end up eating all types of animals you haven't even heard about.

Well at least he'll stay thin and doesn't need to go to the gym!

Mostly for business man who are willing to work in Ph for (homebased) are cheaper than US.

indeed:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Just those of your who are willing to move to Manila keep in mind that porn is illegal in Php.

fatfoo is that you?
