Monthly living costs, vlog +

4 years ago
Someone recomended TimKs with wife Chrissy vlog.
I have checked it a bit.

An interestering part is a cost test they made this year:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k48Q4wKTtqo
Tim: Is it possible to live of 1000 usd per month?
Chrissy: Of course.

They tested it proper after he had bought car and mc cash.
Result: (As he counted) 1700 with a rather new born baby.
But then some vere wasted, and some higher costs because of covid.
You can judge yourself if you look at that 4 part videos.

An other thing is he want to move to USA in the future, which she DON'T like. although she is so sweet so I believe if he insist. she will do it, but realy dislike it.
Many Americans believe everyone want to move to USA ::) which isn't true even from poor countries...

For their sake I hope they stay in Phils.

- -
As often these tiny Filipinas eat a lot too.
I know some, who even have eating as told hobby haha One of them is so tiny anyway she can get into a laundry basket and toddler bed!

- -
As often rural Filipinas want to get a pigery. :) They have started a small one (not included in the month cost test). Left to see what result they will get.
