Life In The Philippines
The cost of living here is attractive to many expats. You can enjoy the sweet life for only $2200 a month, although you will be totally fine on a budget of $1500 here. If you are willing to cut costs further and eschew internet or cable TV, it is also possible to live on only $1,000. They speak English well in this part of the world, so you will not have a problem acclimatizing here. Rent is particularly cheap as you can get a three-bedroom apartment for $400 or even less outside the cities. Utilities will set you back by $80 and internet costs around $40. Food is not expensive at all and you will be able to feed yourself on less than $200 each month. There is topnotch healthcare across the islands and numerous doctors received training from the States. Because of the inexpensive cost of medical care, many expats do not bother buying health insurance here.

Peru
Peru, like Mexico, has a varied climate so there should be no trouble finding a place you will like. There is so much going for the country that it is a wonder that expats have not come in droves! There are plenty of things to busy your self with here, and what could be better during your golden years? We all know of Machu Picchu, but do not forget about touring the Lake Titicaca islands, exploring everything in and around Cusco, seeing the Amazon Rainforest, flying over the Nazca lines, and going sandboarding in Huacachina. We have barely scratched the surface here because there are so many sights to enjoy!
