@Tom
From my personal observations, one can live a very comfortable life with moderate luxuries in Manila with P50,000 a month.

Hi fitz!

I was thinking, when I lived in the Philippines, it seemed that even in the place where i lived (think province of Negros Oriental) …that if a person has 1M peso, then it would immediately be consumed by their home!

How much money do you think that they would need to actually live the Millionaire lifestyle?

Also … in Manila, to have a nice apartment in an upscale location is napaka mahal … therefore, a millionaire in Manila with a nice home, can still be cash – poor, at least that’s my perception!

I have never lived in the Philippines as a Millionaire – just as the poorest of the foreigners lol …

I hope you – or someone else from your site can help me in my questions!

maraming salamat po!

Tom.

Wow, so many replies. Thanks everyone!

@Kevin – yeah, konti lang noh?

@rors – I’m glad you liked this post, I guess naunahan kita mag-sukat ng pera. Hehe.

@earth – distributed P1M in less than an hour? anong ginawa mo dun? charity work or something?

@Tyrone – nope, my net worth says that I’m not a millionaire yet; but definitely working on it

@Dinah – yeah, but I think it would be really hard for me to save a million pesos because personally, I’d be tempted to invest the money once it’s around P300k.

@itot – wah, iba naman yun eh! hehe.

@Gugol – yeah, of course, the feeling would be really different, balato ha when you’ve made your first million

@Mighty – yes I had real fun, and actually, this was a post born out of boredom

@Jehz – as if you don’t know, di ba lagi kang may baon na P1M dun sa sling bag mo?

@Raymund – that’s right, and it’s quite improbably that the money he had were just P20 bills

@ana – no problem

@elmot – nice meeting you too that night, hope to see you more in blogger events

@Rina – haha, sige, next project yan, one million peso coins… wah!

@GM Tristan – oh definitely, it would be much bigger in due time if you invest it

@ariston – yes, kasya ang P1M sa pantalon mo, but it would be a bit bulky, by the way, peso it eh, dollars ang payout ko sa Adsense and affiliates ko hehe.

@Lee – no problem, I’m glad you enjoyed the post
