I'd just like to point out that $7k USD and even $5k USD is expensive when OP pointed out that $2300 takes years to save in the Philippines.
Glassdoor says that the average monthly salary there is about 56k Philippine pesos. That's only around $12k USD per year.
To put things into better perspective, Raleigh, NC is supposed to be the state capital with the lowest cost of living. Compared to Manila, the Philippine capital, it's outrageously expensive: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/co...rrency=USD
