Although I first visited the Philippines in 2007, I grew up with the Filipino culture living in the Bay Area. I decided to retire in the Philippines at the age of 61. I collected my social security early at 62 and also had a monthly pension that allows me to live more comfortably here than in America. People are always smiling and friendly and the weather is more suitable for an older person. Hahahaha, when I went back to America to visit family, I was shocked by the food and rent prices. It made me feel like I made the right decision!!!!! 👍🇵🇭🇺🇲

Let’s face it the reality is the Filipino people are more friendlier than people are in America. They are always smiling and laughing having a good time despite what economic hardships they may have. The cost of living definitely is a plus in the 🇵🇭. There are a lot of positives to anyone making the move. Me myself I spend 4-6 months a year in the 🇵🇭. Soon after I sale off my businesses and houses it will be my permanent residence. Life is definitely better in the 🇵🇭 take it from me. Ive seen the place transform and change a lot since my first visit in 1983. Yes that’s right I’m a long time visitor here, after 3 years at Clark AB I’ve been coming to the 🇵🇭 since. The only break I had was during the pandemic. I love ❤️ it Thanks for sharing ✌🏾.

As professional Filipina, we choose professional guys our age. Those Filipinas who are dating older foreigners are mostly High school grad ,Non professional, Coming from a family which has difficulty meeting both ends meet. Because they believe that's the only way out from poverty.

I'd slow down a bit on that motorcycle dude. I had a bad accident in Thailand and had to have surgery on my leg back in Taiwan where I was teaching at the time and had health insurance through my school. It cost me 500NT about 15 bucks. In the US it would have cost me 500 bucks or more All the best from Spain.

For someone as young as Aaron, the states is where to stack cash. I tried to retire at age 44 to Asia and bought a place, but I went back to work. Men need to be productive to be happy. Rented out my place and will be buying another one, and will retire at age 50 instead

I'm not a retiree or a vlogger at all, in my 30s, and am saving up to move to the Philippines...so there are exceptions. I'm leaving because people in America try to use others too much, and they and many women are rude, arrogant, entitled, narcissistic and self-obsessed. And yes, everything being overpriced and also too much political obsession. It's a dystopian nightmare now and I can't wait to get the hell out of there. I'm planning on getting there next year or 2026. I want a happier quality of life.

@samuraigary Ай бұрын

@@Jason_The_Blind_Swordsman PERFECTLY said. A normal good quality retirement now even is to move to the PI and live as expat. Social network and society in the USA is completely destroyed and no hope to recover or over come. We all can read the handwriting on the wall.

Interesting interview. The best fastest retirement source is US MILITARY 🪖 RETIREMENT. Next source is of course Social Security at age 62. I lived in the Philippines 🇵🇭 in 1991,I was age 28. Stationed at Clark Air Base (Angeles 😂City). Now age 61, widower and all my children are grown now. Next year in 2025, no later than end of the year. I want to return and retire there at age 62. Having a monthly stable income is a advantage in the Philippines 🇵🇭 👌. Like I suggested for a young man, earliest retirement income is military 🪖 retirement. Eventually I will utilize the American Military 🪖 Philippines sponsored SRRV program. Thank you and good luck to the young man 👨.

Its ok that you come here but you are destroying the markets for properties, rentals that ordinary Filipinos cannot afford those anymore.

@Livingabroadalex Ай бұрын

I agree but it's good that Philippines doesn't allow foreigners to buy land, and there's not enough foreigners or buy condos compared to the number of Filipinos themselves. I would say it's the OFW who work abroad and send money home. Since there are millions of Filipino working abroad, compared to a few thousand foreigners who actually do buy condos and can't even buy land.

@Lawrencerice Ай бұрын

That is a common myth. There simply are not enough foreigners to vastly impact the rental market. Plus most of us expats are interested in more Western style housing, which is way out of the price range of the ordinary Filipino. Just more "blame the foreigner" going on.
