Dumaguete, Philippines General expenses in USD (not necessarily mine because I'm detailing how to live cheaply here which is not my goal) Rent: Two bedroom unfurnished house as low as $80 / month or upgrade to western standard furnished studio for approximately $230 / month. Internet: $21 - $35 for 1 - 2 MBPS connection. Electricity: Big variation on costs depending on your lifestyle. My bill is around $30 / month. Food: Also hugely varies but it's pretty easy to live here on a bill of around $100 / month for one and more people gets cheaper per person. And most importantly... One bottle of San Miguel Pilsen (beer!) - approx $1 / bottle at the bar.
