When i say most expensive in PI, i am not comparing it that it is equal to, let say Beverly Hills. Pac bough a property there cuz he is making great money fighting in the US. If he was only fighting in the Philippines, he wouldn't be able to afford that. While some of the houses in those expensive areas maybe the price of an average house here in the US, if your living and working in the Philippines, you can't afford it. Maybe some of us can afford here those houses but can you also afford to maintain those houses. And the families who owns it also have nannies, maids, drivers, and even bodyguards. I lived here in the US and have a good amount in savings and i can't even afford those houses in Manila.
Now as far as your friend saying you can live like a prince in PI being a grocery helper here in the US. My take on this is if you are working in the PI and earning the same monthly wage of a grocery helper here in the US, then you are well off. You can afford most things but you won't live like a prince. You can go on vacation for a few weeks and be like a prince spending away your money that you save from being a grocery helper here in the US but that's it.
