Building and buying them a house is no guaranteed for success. After your demise, they start taking loans out using the property as collateral either to Banks or local loansharks. Those homes are easily lost.🥴🥴 These girls survived before you they will survive after you.

I'm not an expat but I always watch all your videos. Thank you Paul for your kindness, care, and showing your positive views about my fellow Filipinos. You're doing the right thing Paul. We have a saying in tagalog "kung anong itinanim mo, sya ring aanihin mo". It means if you did good deeds, people will do the same to you. And indeed, you are doing good deeds for Mae and your co-expats there so I am sure, you'll be blessed more. Keep it up Paul. Salamat.

RIP Jueles; a lesson for all of us...watching his videos from a year ago he was full of energy and plans for the future; how quickly and unexpectedly things can take a turn for the worse in life.

Leave them better off then how you found them.

Thank You For The Video Paul ! I Hope You , Mae And The Puppies Have A Great Night ! 🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯

So sorry to hear about Jueles 😢

You and these generous selfless men who are married to these filipinas providing for them, may God continue to Bless you all🙏🙏🙏

My friend Paul ….. when you are responsible for making the world a better place by helping someone less fortunate…..Enjoy the beauty of the occasion…give thanks for that opportunity and rejoice. You are a good good man. You’re Santander Talisay friend . Keep up the good work 😊

We are definitely not sending our best and brightest representatives to the Philippines! Way too many “Ghetto Rich” ExPats!

What the Filipina would more than likely do, rather than going back to living with mom and dad, is what she has already done, and that is to find another foreigner to support her.

One thing to consider is being careful about being worth more dead than alive. 😮

I watched you just fewer weeks ago. Thank you for being there. I have been a married Pilipina for 36 years. My husband passed 10 year's ago. I am happy went back and forth Philippines and USA vacation. Bought my house in subdivision in Mactan Lapu-Lapu city Cebu. Pension and retirement is what I live for. Happy happy at this time I am in Florida with my only daughter. Philippines is my destination someday.

Another informative video Paul thx. Love the thumbnails keep em coming!

Road to 100K subs!!! Congratulations in advance sir. Well deserved 🎉

Hi Paul, I don’t comment on channels but I have to say this you are the best person I have seen on you tube on everything Phillipines. Your attitude and positive ways and the help I have seen you give to others especially the last video for your dear friend Jewels. A very hard one to make. I m sure that anyone who watches you and Baby May have so much respect for you both. Hopefully I get to meet you in person one day

Good vdeo Excellent and a different spin on the relationship videos told as always in a relatable style

Excellent video Paul

Excellent video Paul. When starting a relationship, one should consider the future of their significant other once they pass. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and Mae.

My then fiance was barely surviving. Sure, she had a home, but being widowed was making it very hard. I did the fiance visa. She was here in the US after 9 months. She started working one year later. Now, she earns the equivalent of 3 million pesos per year working alongside me in a federal government job. She brought three kids into the marriage. One is in dental school, one is an engineer and the youngest is a nurse

I guess it's a 2 way street. I have heard the horror stories where Filipina GF ruin expats life by bleeding them dry. So to be honest both parties need to help each other. A expat especially on a tight budget needs a Filipina who's conversative with her spending. She also needs to tell her family hands off the expats wallet. If she takes good care of her expats finances I would agree he should help take care of her future. Hopefully if she's a good women another expat will take notice after you're dead and also take good care of her far into the future.

Hey Paul, love the deep chuckle when you mentioned the debate.

Was my concern also. We were able to pick up some fixer uppers rentals so that there would always be an income after I check out. Mama an daughter won't live rich but not worry about homeless.

Great video. Looking forward to the next

One thing I think you have at least slightly forgot about is that Filipinas are not stupid. I think they are quite aware of what they have gotten themselves into by hooking up with a foreigner with a big age gap. I think they will always have a "Plan B" in the back of their minds as to how they are going to survive when he kicks the bucket. Or at least they SHOULD have, in my opinion. It's a good thing for the foreigner to provide for her future as best he can while he is still around, but the Filipina will still survive regardless of what happens.

Sorry to hear about juelles I enjoyed watching his show Expats are dropping like flys in Philippines, old dog will be last man standing I will send juelles money PayPal to help family

Great video, Paul.

I bought my wife and myself a 270 sg M lot and built a small house. We live a simple life and rarely spend more 800 a month. We save our money for small vacations and the future. I sleep better because my wife will always have a home and some land.

I have philipina girlfriend now, im in the jungle in the province in kitcharao, she had unfinished house, so im finishing her house, maybe 20,000 US total, if something happens to me she does have house to live it, it's ruff liveing in the province, but we have aircon, wifi, water and roof over her head, I was born poor and will die poor, but my social security gives us a happy life

Been watching you for several years Sir. I have been traveling to SE Asia for 20 plus years and after years of being a butterfly I settled down with an amazing Cambodia girl . I have purchased a home for us in Cambodia and USA and prepared for her future without me. You are spot on with your advice. It is so important that us age gap relationship men remember do our best to take care of our ladies even after we are gone. I have always respected your ability to remain so level headed. Condolences reference the passing of your friend Julles also.

Always a great vlog and I see your well on the way to getting the silver play button, proud to know you even if it is just on KZfaq.

Good advice as always, I have set up my wife of 20 years, she will have no worries when I meet the spirit in the sky.

Thanks, Paul, I enjoyed your perspective, and vlog!

Yeah the one thing I'm NOT going to do in the PH is take on debt, but then I'll go out there with a bit of money in the bank and just for myself, 3+ grand/mo. I say for myself because the wife will also get SS when she hits retirement age and she makes good money and about 28 years of working in the US before we leave to the PH. So she'll have a chunk of change once she starts of SS, along with a home paid for and solar panels to run the home and different agricultural functions. I've thought about a vehicle, but the only way I take that on is if production on land (agriculture) warrants a truck. There are other ways of getting things around and even motorcycles are used to do this (think tricycle but has a sidecar that's made for hauling stuff). With first building a home, which also means it's paid for as it's built it means there's no rent payment to live in a good home. I figure that cuts expenses down to about one grand/mo. Once solar is installed that gets us down to about $800/mo. The property already produces a certain amount of food. And this isn't in the city which is both good and bad. It's good because SOME costs are less. It's bad because for everyday items other than food that doesn't have to be brought in, that stuff is more expensive unless you make trips to cities and do a lot of buying. People tend to buy things in small quantities, as in daily rations and that's very expensive.

Excellent points made Paul...you have become the sounding board for the expats ... Thanks! (been watching your videos since the beginning)

Great video

Very good episode

Great video, very well done and very well spoken, thank for what you do.

This is an important and wise commentary. Thanks Paul

I will say honestly, Paul that I look forward to leaving a happy family behind me when I pass. I tried to do that twice in America, and unfortunately failed now that I have my Filipina and soon to be Asawa , I feel that I can reach the ultimate goal in my life by changing someone else’s life for the better.

Great video Paul…could not agree more!!

Great job Paul and Mae.

Very good,,,

Well said. It’s something I think about a lot. Especially after visiting the Philippines. I’m so happy that you are sharing your experiences and plans. The good, the bad, and the struggles. Salamat po. Prayers of wisdom.

Good video- well said!!

I am 70 and Wife is 68, been here 2 years now... when in states we build a house on her parents land, have wifi, aircon,big screen TV, running water to house, buy a new car, and now been here 2 years and living comfortable on $1000 a month with my 13A, and PhilHealth ... my Wife will be very comfortable when I die ...❤❤❤

Great advice Paul! Thanks 🙏🏽 done ✅

Paul, Very well put.

When you're talking money, I feel that we have much more in common than our first name, Paul!

Thanks Paul for all the great videos... Yes I agree you should leave her with security of a home and and some kind of monthly income 😊 Hi Mae & Yippee and Tada❤

First off, my sincerest condolences on the passing of Jueles. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time. The light of heaven to him

Very good thoughts on CONSIDERATIONS Paul!

Thanks for another great video paul it is very appreciated

Have been watching you for years but rarely comment. Sorry to hear about your friend Juelles. He was an interesting character and nice guy, for sure.

This really comes down to what is your definition of suffering. Is it suffering to live paycheck to paycheck while having food, shelter, transportation, internet and healthcare -- and then lose it all end when the paycheck stops? Or is it suffering to live off the land without all the conveniences of modernity and never know when nature will flood, drought, plague and destroy. For the vast majority of human existence we lived working to survive every day. There was no welfare state and no one could be a slacker.

Agree, if you truly love your Filipina, you will think about how well off she will be, if you departed this earth. Hopefully if a guy comes over to the Philippines, he is older, and has learned to be financially responsible. Good video, Paul...Jim

Excellent video. Something some don't think of, at least over there. I'm doing my best to take care of her over here, while preparing to help her over there. I've set up a file with all the information she might need, the who, what, when, where and why file. I help her family as best I can, and help my son when I can. You make great videos that have something some others don't - common sense. Thanks Paul

You can look rich in the Philippines just by not having to pay the annual hidden homeownership costs, ie in California its now $28,790 per year of overhead even if your house is paid off. Just crazy. And you can ruin anyone's future by having them become dependent on you. Sometimes by helping, you hinder. Give them a fishing pole, not fish.

Why did you move to the Philippine in the first place ? Are you looking for a second chance because you failed in North America ? Some kind of redemption ? Or do you simply wanna retire peacefully without suffering the constant economic stress the western world is headed towards to ? Do you feel lonely or doing fine as a bachelor ? Do you have children back home that won't benefit from your inheritance ? Starting a new family in your 50's, 60's, 70's seems reasonable to you ? Whatever your motivation is, own it. Whatever happens, it's on you. Bad things happen to good people who didn't prepare for when the shit hits the fan. Bad luck doesn't discriminate... but stupidity does.

You are right and I totally agree with you!!!

Great you encourage to ensure their future

I love the teachings of Dave Ramsey!

I need to hire your friend who lives on $1,080 as my financial advisor 👍.

Very mature and altruistic look at long term relationships, especially with an age gap. 👏 In America there's an extremist trend (red-pill) that is very inward-looking and I'm happy to hear people like you have the EQ to give that the middle finger without sacrificing your own needs.

Great advice for any country.

Not to be morbid, but we are all very fragile beings. You can never know who will pass on first or why. That said, yeah, definitely plan for the future. For both of you.

But one very important point is she cannot collect your Social Security unless you live together in the US for 5 years.

Have a blessed day/night, everyone, and stay safe!

THANK YOU 😍

Good looking out Paul. 👍😇

Another awesome insightful vlog Paul. Since you mentioned the situation with Juelles, I was wondering if you were going to do a follow up on him?…was there going to be a funeral service etc?….just wondering…🤔🤔🤔….thank you for all your wisdom and insightfulness…👍👍👍

Bylaw stopped by my house over a concern, asked me if I was the home owner, I answered that I think sometimes the house owns me.

Paul, I want to thank you for your content. I follow about 5 to 6 vloggers. 3 from Duma and the rest spread out. It is nice to set your Filipina up for success when your gone, But I can't understand why the foreigner don't give them the best gift of all. A higher education. As the saying goes. If you buy them the fish they eat for a day, But if you teach them to fish, they wont go hungry

The Filipinas are catching onto the antifreeze solution.

good advice, we are good living in the U.S., planned way ahead, not lucky, lots of hard work

Paul, watching this video I had the thought of are there no Filipinas from a middle class background? Do they exist? Do they date older expats? In videos you see a lot of fairly new trucks on the road (Toyota Hilux, etc) so obviously not anyone is dirt poor. Maybe do a video about the middle class? Just an idea.

“Wealth is what you don't spend, which makes it invisible and hard to learn about by observing other people's lives. Spending is contagious; wealth is mysterious.”

Hello Old Dog .. I'm a representative of the crazy people. 😂

Many people don't have the insight to see the train coming down the track in time to get out of the way. These guys aren't stupid or selfish. They simply don't have insight to plan their departure from this flat Earth or they are in denial of their own mortality.

I agree 💯 i and my wife own our own house with title free and clear. Your also right at least about my wife and four kids getting used to living a better life.😊 We just had a 12 hour brown out here on Samal Island in garden City. I as an American refuse to sit in my house during a brown out without lights air-conditioning and water. Apparently my wife and kids feeling the same way.😅 All of them never left our house after i cranked up our generator 😅 Good video Paul

Good advice, no one can save everyone though. There also must be some personal responsibility for everyone.

If you love someone you prepare for their future. If you live for today and have no regard for her when you are gone then you really are only loving yourself.

Im very happy for your wife...I know she will be okay when that time comes....the only thing that worries me is the fact that you decided not to have children....i totally understand your reason... but as far as she concerns i don't want her to one day feel alone.Sorry if it looks like im overstepping, that's not my intention

The other part of the equation is teaching her how to hang onto the money, once you're gone. Parents leave thousands to their only child, then 5 years later, she's broke. Leaving money for your wife is terrific, unless she knows not to loan it to her family. Teach her to keep her mouth closed.

I hope you guys don't forget the first family in USA.

Wow things have changed …Mae is making money ..with bikini & bisexual theme shows …all the power to her …Paul has taught her how to make money with KZfaq videos …She is making her own money..and she is becoming…one of the more wealthy…native Filipino …Paul is legend for turning her into self made woman

Your attitude and wealth of knowledge in the culture is priceless. Much appreciated brother.

It’s all about money. That’s all life is about anywhere in the world.

RIP Juells 🙏

Me thinketh Paul playing his part in making sure that., the meek will in fact.......inherit the earth!@!?😉

My girl is 56 and I'm 60. She is standing on her own two feet without my interference. I kind of need her more than she needs me.. I consider it win win! Low budget, low expenses.. Who dies first is a mystery.. We are very humble and province. And not married. 😂

I’ve been with you since you were you were known as Paul the Puppy, No Tricks 😂

FYI Brian (Philly in the Philippines) did finance a new car there in the Philippines, and then sold it when he moved before it was even paid off.

I bought my wife here a business that brings in more than 100,000 P a month. Sure makes things easier. Good Video Paul.

In America I had a Porsche Boxer and a BMW 500 all the same time paid off. When I arrived here in the Philippines I bought a $5000 dollar Multi Cab. With the rest of the money I bought 3 houses and 6 parcels of land for my wife of 15 years. Now her son is studying Computer Science once he graduates he can help his mom. I also have invested in Bitcoin as a long term investment. I myself have everything I need. The Philippines can make you not necessarily humble but see the light. 🇺🇸🗽

Another consideration to think about is some of those guys playing rich might not know who the Jones are but they might be trying to meet the expectations of the spouse who thinks they must buy a car. Some of these women don’t think into the future either they live for the moment. Set some of these women up with a sari sari store and stock them up they will take the money and buy a karaoke machine and then realize they don’t have money to restock the store with. That’s where u come back into the picture again. Another thing call me a smart aleck if u will but keeping up with the Jones in some of these barangay’s u might only need $150 a month. Of course we’re not good at bumming money and have that blood connection to get by like they do so we must be well above the Jones to start with. Also remember if a Filipina asks to borrow money she is asking u to give her money. Truly is a land of love and honey, build a house, make babies, help her uncle and run out of dough then start life over as a beach bum. Just ask ole John boy.

Good blog and fully agree. I have been with my filipina wife for 16 years, mostly long distance. To make her finiancially secure it iwas necessary for me to continue working and salaries in Phil are too low to achieve that goal. As I am approaching 70 years, I will probably need to retire shortly on a modest pension, possibly in the Philippines. My wife should get 40% of that for her life which would significantly help. MY strategy has been to build her a diverse capital base, so if she blows one it is not financial ruin. Currently its 5 blocks of land ( two that she could live in) and one more being with about 30% down and repayments. I've put 3 or her family though college todate and they would help her if needed.

Paul, totally agree with you about making sure that if there is a major age gap between you and your better half one should make arrangements to take care of her after you are gone. The other thing that I would suggest is that you teach your better half how to budget and how to say no to all those relatives that will come to her with their hands out asking for a loan. Money changes people's attitude in life.

Used cars are cheap in the Philippines. I just bought a 2016 Toyota Vios (last year of the 4 speed automatic before they went to CVT) with 50k kilometers for 6.5k USD or 385k peso. That's quite cheap, no reason to have a car payment. It gets close to 50 MPG on highway. Should be good for 300,000 kilometers just keep changing the fluids. Taught my Filipina how to drive it and got her license. Cars here don't have all the bells and whistles as the US. Keeps them simple and cheap.

It’s funny that you’re talking about this Paul because one of the other channels over there that I watch was talking about something very similar to this and apparently this gentleman left his Filipina a house a scooter a car and 3 million pesos that were invested for her and three months later, it was all gone after he was gone Because he didn’t teach her how to manage it

😊
