Expats leaving the Philippines? Poor Planning?
Переглядів 25114 днів тому
Many vloggers have been doing vids about many Expats are leaving the Philppines. Not many that I know and we are not leaving here. If some are leaving, it may be poor planning, lack of funds, or poor choice of a woman. The Philippines is not like the USA, Europe, or Austrailia. If you expected to be, then you did poor planning.

We have been fixing stuff here at Casa De Gecko, but a new problem came up recently and that was no water or really low pressure. Maita called the plumber and he got the water flowing again. But he said we need to bury the water lines coming to the house. We need to get permission from the Criden Farm and the Baranguay. Maita is handling that so more money will be a big hit to the budget again....

      The fish pens are mostly Talapia that is raised by the local people. There is only one kind of fish native to the lake. I can't remember the name of it. Maita has eaten it but not me. Too many of the pen raised fish often results in red algea which causes the shut-down of the pens for a while. The water in the lake is slowly becoming fresh, but used to be saltwater. The saltwater was cut off when the volcano erupted and closed off the source of the saltwater.

    They are leaving because we are living longer on average and reaching ages of seniority that require assistance to continue living. That is the point normally the family steps in. But one of the downsides to being a boomer aka the largest hardest working generation in human history. You guys have the "no one will ever have to take care of me" mentality. 3:18 sir just go on the live tab of youtube.

    Sir, all of the world is using our social media platforms. All the edgy teenagers, the "patriots" and the enemies. Personally, I'd like to see some physical responses to these meat bot farms. Likely, this person is deceptive and just trying to hurt your morale. Phishing is a scammer getting your login details, then saying this kind of stuff to get money out of you. AI is not perfect right now. Look at the fingers. Kids and people my age are taught DIP (deceptive image persuasion) and all should read ICD-203. You were taught these things, sir. The government used to play shows on the TV teaching people how to spot enemy propaganda. It is no different. Don't let these trolly teenagers, scammers, enemy meat bots, and "patriots" get to you. Maybe you can answer a question for me. Human beings are blessed and cursed with the gift of nostalgia. We dream of better times that never were. Only creature on this planet to do that. Anyway, do you think yourself, all the other American boomers, and older generations end up in places like the Philippines because of this factor? Despite conflict at one point in time. These men spent younger years of their lives in such places. Or possibly grew up hearing the stories of their families of these places. So they inhubit some sort of nostalgic response in the brain.

      I have always had a fcsination for volcanos but I looked into the situation when we decided t buy this house. We are outside the official danger zone. Right after we moved in, it had some major eruptions and the area around the volcano had to be evacuated. Fortunately, the wind was blowing our of the west to east, so we got very little ash at our place. We were out of power for 3 days. All that ash ended up even as far as Manila and closed all those businesses forr a few months. But we still love it here. Hopefully I will get some good videos tomorrow of the volcano.

So i had to explain to my German bank that i was living and working in China. I then had the same problem with my Chinese card when i was visiting the Philippines. After using the atm card a few time it got blocked. I contacted the bank in China and again, they said they had noticed that my card was being used in the Philippines so for safety reasons they blocked it. So again i had to contact the bank and persuade them that it was me that was using the card. Nice colorful shirt again Barry and your wearing a different hat today 😜👍

    In order to financially survive a move to a developing country such as The Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, South America, etc, you will need a monthly income of $3,000/month. You can survive on less however, you'd be just surviving. 3k a month will allow you some extra luxury like going to the bars, coffee shops, etc. If you're not bringing in 3k/month, you should improve your finances to be able to achieve it.
