I vote hypocrite

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

A fair divorce? Will wonders never cease!

Changing your perspectives as the course of your life changes makes you a well adapted individual, not a hypocrite. 👍

Your example of wanting to be frugal as a personal challenge is a refreshing change from other channels.

Like you, my divorce was a good thing. We’d both had enough of eachother. I was single for 10 years living it up. Then I had a hearts attack. Had angioplasty. Went on short term disability and when that came to an end I went back to my job only to find the IRS had closed its doors. There I was. 53, no job. Nobody would hire me because of my heart condition. I lost my house, my car, everything. I had to go live in my Mom’s basement. Long story short, I stood up. Dusted myself off and started all over. Met another Filipina and we’ve been married 19 yrs now.. Financially secure and making sure she’ll stay that way when I croak. A tincture of time heals most wounds. Mine have healed. Good luck to you and Mae. You are both good people.

Not a hypocrite dude, things change. Your life, heart and situation changed. You are very fortunate to have found and made the life you've made.

Nicely done Paul,all the best.

Another reason why I’ve been your subscriber since your early days as a vlogger. You have truly gained wisdom from your life and I’m truly grateful you’re sharing those pearls of wisdom with us. More power and good health to you.

Soon Paul will be releasing his new autobiography on Amazon entitled "Hi I am Paul in the Philippines, and I will show you (even at a ripe old age) how to get the hot girl, the custom house, the new car and 2 pure bred pooches, and let KZfaq pay for it all" it's a potential top 10 bestseller!

If you remember growing up playing a game with the big kids and you could never win, you hated the game and didn’t want to play anymore.But once you found a group where you are the big kid and the hero, then playing becomes fun again. You’re not a hypocrite you found an environment that makes you feel significant and willing to play again.

Be careful Paul!.. The person that you marry is not the same person that you divorce.

You have been blessed with a new prospective Paul. Not a hypocrite, but a transformed.

Paul, you are not a hypocrite, you have evolved as intelligent humans will do, based upon facts, situational changes and your own emotional growth as a human being. This is an excellent and informative video. 👏

You are not a hypocrite. I totally get how your attitudes and feelings could change when changing your environment. Great content, I just subscribed.

as i told my kids while they were growing up, "there is the Plan, and then there is what happens. but always start with a plan." it's good to grow continually into a bigger plan, especially when it makes life better for others.

Great video with great content, thank you.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Wisdom comes to Us One drop at a Time....and then we are ready to "cash In Our Ticket to Paradise".✌️

Living here for 9 months myself and retired, make sure you have a purpose and a plan.

A channel with integrity🙏🏻

Paul, I see you as one of the lucky ones. We all have plans for our future, however, things change. You have adapted to your changes and have found your goldmine. I applaud you for showing us your life and words of wisdom.

We evolve along the way. We transform ourselves by our choices Paul. I am on the same road. Beginning a New path, My retirement door is about to open it up.

I,ll never have another relationship, famous last words, a good woman in the Philippines is invaluable, critical, because Philippines is a foreign country to us

I've been watching since you first started posting videos. You are my hero! Thank you for being a light in my life. We are both very lucky to be married to truly wonderful Filipinas. Thank God we have both left Groundhog Day! You are not a hypocrite. You are the most authentic Expat in the Philippines. Thank you for being yourself. Thank you so much.

Not a hypocrite. Life situations change. You have to change with it. Hat's off to you sir.

Paul, im 59...and am living my groundhog day currently, wake up, eat breakfast, drive my 1 1/2 hrs to work, work from 7 to 12 noon, eat lunch, work 1pm to 6pm, drive the 1 1/2 hrs back home, have dinner, check the mail, go to bed....then...LATHER, RINSE, & REPEAT Tues thru Fri, for the next "X" years, til Im tired of it, lol. Good video!😊

Paul, who cares if others judge you. It is obvious you have been healed from your past and given a chance to be happy. I can only hope I am so lucky. Your the best version of yourself now!!😊

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus Change is expected and should be welcomed.

America needs more groundhogs❤ Old saying get out before you age out. You did. Excellent video paul😊

To say there is a failure of a man's life in the US once past a certain age is no secret. Every man over 50, divorced, and alone experiences what you did. Me too. I found my happiness there like you did. No need to explain or justify yourself. We get one life and might as well enjoy it as best you can. Hats off to you and every other man who's done the same! My X was a diagnosed sociopath so I didn't get the same, what I would call, loving treatment you did. Mine tried to kill me and steal everything.

Looking forward to seeing the home building progress! So happy for both of you! Thanks for your transparency Paul it helps all of us out!! 👍

You are a great storyteller Paul, you are not hypocrite, your just being real!

Hey Paul!....."Groundhog Day" is a perfect analogy.Many people can relate to this. Take care!🇨🇦

You are not a hypocrite. You are adaptable to a changing situation, fluid even. If you didn't adapt......well......you know.......nuff said. Great video Paul!

Definitely not a hypocrite my friend. You’re just in what I call the final chapter of your life and you are going about it the right direction. I myself and…like you pulled the trigger and left Canada. I’ve started my new life in the Philippines-(Bohol) and it’s best thing that’s ever happened. I admire your brave move and positive reinforcement that you give to you subscribers

I am 81. My wife died 14 years ago and I was pushed to expat to Southeast Asia after that. I should have done it. I do have a fiancee from Vietnam though that I met here in the US. But I did have to spend 2019 on chemo from cancer. It sucks getting old but too many don't have that opportunity.

Be a man, not an ATM.

Life has a way of changing plans. Always. So you went to the P.I. to start over and live the dream of a retired "rich American". And you found relaxation, less stress,decent food and living conditions,etc. Then you and Mae found each other. Good for you and great you were able to see what a good woman is. I said that as soon as I dreaded going to my factory I would sell and retire. God helped and that's exactly what happened. Buyer group called me out of the blue asking if I had considered selling and retiring. Had they called an hour before or an hour after the answer would have been no. Took 6 months to sell and when I got funded my identity as a working man ceased. It's ALL gravy now. And I love it.

In the Philippines/KZfaq/Baby Mae, you found your proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.... A very fortunate man indeed.....

Thanks Paul the video was great, but the ending advice was fantastic..

Wisdom Comes With Age! Every Year You Learn Something New From our Mistakes and How things and events Change!!

Awesome video

No Paul your not a hypocrite. Just facing the truth and reality of life.

Yes for build videos !

Love the way you tell stories! I wish I had your gift.

Very good Paul,,all the best to you & Mae

🎉 life is short, your life with Mae is strong and enduring. I am 77 and envy your life style. I lived in PI for 5 years while in the Navy. It is a wonderful place to live and the most caring people. Enjoy your life with your lovely wife. ❤

You did what you had to do. All worked out with the help of God. She will take good care of you when the time comes because you deserve it and more. Stay blessed Paul.

Very interesting, thank you for your wisdom.

I'm British but have heard a lot about working life in USA and can fully envisage the "groundhog" existence. The one thing I do envy you for is the flexibility to take the state pension early. I've been effectively retired since I was 51 but I can't get my UK state pension until I'm 67, another 3 years to wait. When I was 51 the retirement age was 65 but they changed it.

Happy that you're happy Paul. Same for Mae. You both deserve it!

Power on Paul. Life changes as we grow old. We say a lot of things. Don't forget to show the build.

Great job Ole dog!! Perspectives change, but a good heart is timeless...may you have many years of the journey....

Hi Paul, been with you just before the first 1000 and all the monetisation issues... Tried to contact you a few times on messenger, but i know you have many trying! Was in Dumaguete 18 months ago and enjoyed it... Similar timeline with you but different story... Been with my Filipina now for over 6 years, 40 plus year gap and we are living in Australia just over a year now... Hope we will catch up sometime... Take care and keep the stories coming!

And they say women always change their minds. Maybe it's time to call you Paula. 🤣Good luck, Paul.

Hey Paul,been a subscriber for a long time, probably within the first 2,000 subs. Always appreciated your honesty and most of your videos. I've probably watched 75% of them in entirety,. things change, life changes, and really seems that yours has been for the much better. Stay good and stay real! Aloha

Thanks Paul for the history and a great perspective. Enjoy your videos!

Never say never!

Thanks for sharing this video with us

There is never any confusion watching your vlogs! You are the best truth teller on my list of KZfaq subscriptions👍🏼

Great video Paul....

Hey hey hey coming to you from the lake hey Paul 👋🏻

I married a Filipina in the US. I’m 68 and she’s 62. We were planning to retire in the Philippines. We sold everything and were ready to make the move, unfortunately she passed suddenly. My point is you just never know what the future holds. Best wishes to you and Mae.

Just Luv The channel Paul. Ty for great content.

Very interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing that. I look forward to seeing the builds progress.

Paul, your a good person, probably always have been, you said it all, your doing something for someone else, that doesn't work in the US, all the best, PEACE!!!

Paul, you found your paradise. I’m happy for you and I can only imagine myself to be in your place. Perhaps if and when I pull the trigger and retire in the Philippines that I will find my Cinderella (baby Mae) like you did 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. BTW your looking better today than a few years back looking haggard 😊

Very smart advise

love it Paul.....keep making vids

I maintain a large home alone for my cats who love the house and patrol every room twice a day

Thank you “Sharing is caring “😏♥️

Thank you for the backstory Old Dog. Been a long-time sub. What I enjoy about your channel is you show PI for what it is for an expat ... the good, bad, and ugly. Glad you found happiness in PI. All the best to you and BM.

Paul. your wisdom is contagious, plus I'm waiting for the house building videos! If I ever live in the Philippines, this is information is golden! I'm in the midst of a new relationship with a traditional Chinese woman, and can take your advice and apply it to any heart issues! Keep up the great work and don't ever give up!

I totally agree!!

I am also an older man who met the love of my life in Cambodia after telling myself i was going to be a butterfly for the rest of my days ... It is such a peaceful co-existance being married to a younger than me Cambodia girl. There is no gender role confusion and with out even trying my wife by just being so comfortably female gets all she needs from me without even asking ... best decision I ever made ... I never knew such contentment ... I am convinced the peaceful bliss of what married life is like here and used to be like in the west will add more years to my life than was previously probable ...

Enjoyed that! You've changed your life around for the better and I think that's great!

Paul, you and Mae are amazing, people evolve and change, it doesn't mean you're a hypocrite, you're very open and candid.

Impressive self examination. Thanks.

Life always creates change.

Good on ya mate, life is full of changes. In Thailand doing the same, all the best.

Great show thank you from NZ.

I'm heading to the Philippines late Sept. I'm a retired Pastor looking forward to a change. Funny how close my life has mirrored yours. Have enjoyed you a lot. Maybe we will run into each other to say hi.

Life hasent gotten any better here in the US,if nothing else it has worsened. I can't wait till we make our jump.Groundhog day is my absolute #1 favorite movie ever,don't forget in the the End Bill Murry became a better person,found peace and got to find true sincere love. .😊

Excellent video, things to think about.

Paul, if that happened (you lost Mae), am thinking her two sisters would show up immediately! (don't worry about being alone for more than one day.

I'm not a religious person; but I firmly believe that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. You've gotten older, wiser, and have changed with the situation you are in. That's called Life.

30000 days is the average number of days we have here on this earth. How many do you have left and how are you going to spend them. Borrowed from Sunshine Shoulders. Still hits me everyday.

Good content and delivery!

Awesome video...change is inevitable...embrace your improved plan God put love in your path...rejoice!❤

HI PAUL , TY for another HONEST video. I am now 68 , soon to be 69. Life has passed so fast , I can t believe it.. You have been a GREAT INSPIRATION to me , to show by example , daresay by the grace of GOD , there may be a life of peace and loving , after some horror and trauma suffered here in the USA. May GOD BLESS YOU AND MAE for many more years... CIAO

Life changes so you went with it I'm saying this before listening to the video. I'll add to it, if need be.

Not a hypocrite, I appreciate the honesty and sharing your journey

Fascinating. 👍

Excellent narrative about life. It could be made into a good movie! Thanks Paul. 😊

Keep your 401k and retirement? Keep everything? X-wife? Are you being realistic? Joint custody? When I got divorce I was working overseas in Kuwait and the judge said I would not get joint custody of my daughter as I was overseas and could not provide 100% support/decisions as to my daughter's well being when I am in the Phils. Really, so I lose my daughter now? I work overseas.

Not a hypocrite but change of heart and kinder, wiser person, and this video made my mind up to retire there and live a simple life with a simple girl if lucky enough, like you Paul.✌️❤️🙏

Your videos are a blessing.

You're a good man Paul ... your wife, former and current, are lucky.

Paul, I really like how you own your own bumps in the road or "mistakes" or whatever you want to call them. My life has changed for the better since I started doing that. Self accountability can be an empowering thing .

Supersize the house build! Love it. :) Great video. You've built an amazing life for yourself after retiring to the Philippines. Well-done, and good job on doing what you can to take care of Baby Mae once your time has come. Your videos are inspiring to all of us still working in the U.S.
