I know a guy who lives comfortably out of a shopping cart who uses the gutter as a toilet, too.

It would be interesting to compare the standard of living and spare change in the pockets between those two captains you know.

Excpet for San Mig Lites it's not that cheap to live there any more. The cost of living in Subic has risen drastically in the last few years.

Easy there, big stud. I only asked because your response was right under my post. And, you didn't address anyone in particular. Made me think you might somehow be talking to me.

Have a nice day.

Anyone who doubts the American "relative" standard of living is falling hasn't been overseas in a while. A weak dollar helps hide import/export imbalances, but in real terms we've dropped a long way.

I'd still rather live here than anywere else in the world, but its depressing to see the dollar so low against everyone else's currencies. Expats see this decline a lot more clearly the rest of us who are insulated here at home.

Does that mean you cannot ship your stuff over to your new digs on the Champs with Fred picking up the tab?

I had heard that Belgium was a fairly inexpensive alternative to Paris and was doing some research at: www.expatica.com . Housing for a family the size of mine (4 kids) would run from 1800 to 3000 Euros/month (for renting an unfurnished house) then from 3,000 to 10,000 euros a year per kid for school. It's expensive over there!! Just thought that I would throw this info out for consumption.
