Island Life Updates - Cost of Living on an Island

It looks as if my wife Rose is either a mermaid, or she is on the flotsam from our shipwreck that landed us on this 'Undiscovered' Paradise Island. Nevertheless, we are enjoying our fantastic lifestyle, while many of you have been asking lots of Good questions. So many Good questions, that I have decided to:
  • write a new book,
  • or create a video series,
  • or maybe a combination of both. 
The new book is going to answer the questions: 'How do I Move to the Philippines?' I'm still not quite sure what the new title will be. Maybe:
  •  'The Rat Race Escape Manual' or '
  • The Escape Manual' or
  • 'The Escape Manual to Paradise & Happiness'. 

If you have any topic suggestions, please contact me and let me know. I will do my best to add them.

Lots of you are asking me about the Cost of Living here. Obviously, this number is going to fluctuate daily, but here is the latest and greatest set of figures for you to compare with your expenses where you live.

Cost of Groceries:
  • loaf of sliced bread - US$1.09
  • pan de coco (like a donut stuffed with coconut & brown sugar) - US$0.11
  • onions, okra, carrots, potato, eggplant, fruit, etc - U$0.40/pound
  • eggs - US$1.21/dozen (we get them free from our free-range chickens)
  • fresh Yellow Fin Tuna (whole) - US$1.29/pound
  • pork (freshly butchered) - US$1.43/pound

Other Expenses
  • diesel fuel - US$2.55/gallon
  • haircut - US$0.90
  • 2 hour massage in your home - US$9
  • manicure & pedicure with nail polish (Rose gets this) - US$1.31
  • teeth cleaning - US$10
  • medical doctors walk-in consultation - US$4.35 with prescription
  • medicine - Ciprofloxin (anti-biotic) - US$0.09/tablet
  • medicine - Azithromyacin -Zpac (anti-biotic) - US$0.45/tablet​
  • X-ray - US$6
  • cell phone bill - US$40/month
  • cable TV - US$22/month
  • internet (business account) - US$22/month

I guess my next question to you is, 'What does it cost you to 'exist' where you are? I say 'exist' because many of you are not 'Living' and enjoying Life.
​
So... my question to you: What is it worth to you to begin Living & Enjoying Life?
