keep doing you best!

Funny how you spend so much time claiming you are a Christian and then proceed to pass judgement against other people you see out in the public. It's typical behavior for people living in The Bible Belt. Good luck and stay safe!

I like your detailed information, It was funny about your bus and the substitute supervisor. Continue doing your best for you and your family.

Respect the hustle good things always get better while working

Thanks for the update and am glad things are working well for you.

Thanks for sharing. Take good care of yourself and keep us updated.

hello hope everything is fine

I am disappointed by the wage rate you are earning though. I work in IT, and I am retiring to Philippines this year at 58. Down the road, if I have to work again, I am hoping I would be able to find an IT job again after I turn 60. Thanks for the video though.

Sounds like your plan is working great. Be safe.

No new videos in over a month . What's happened ? Did you find a job.?

I will not take steroids (prednisone) again unless absolutely necessary. 40mg per day orally for about 6 months. I was a mess. None of the other meds worked. The sulfa-like drugs made me sicker. This was in 1997, the year before Remicaid came out. My GI doc wanted me to try mercaptopurine (a cancer medication) for another 6 months. I told him no, to take the damn thing out. My surgery went well except for a blood clot in my leg a couple of weeks later. My temporary ileostomy leaked all the time. I had severe depression coming off the prednisone. But they were able to take down the ostomy about 6 weeks after the colectomy. 27 years later, and everything is still working for the most part. I think I still have residual effects from the prednisone. I didn't have much bleeding because the damage in my colon was higher up than yours, and it was in deeper layers of tissue than usual, too. I also have to sometimes lie on my side to pass gas. I usually am up at least three or four times a night to go number two. Eating simple carbs helps. I am also on a gluten free diet. I haven't had pouchitis in a long time. Yes, no watermelon late in the day if you don't want to be up all night! I have the same problem with most fresh vegetables. Sorry if this is TMI. Thank you so much for sharing.

That sounds like a crap shoot. I brought my Filipina wife and 2 kids back, and after a year, we agreed there's no way we're staying. Good luck to you. I traveled back and forth for the first 5 years as I had a job waiting for me every summer.

Sir, why are you unretiring yourself, whats wrong with you, why are you following the path of a thousand failures

Those dogs really messed up this vid.

Are you going go back to Ormoc

you be safe

Jeff, does this train go completely around the city?

I lived in Ormoc City for 6 years(2018-2024) II had watched your channel at its somewhat initial start. The room/apt you rented prior to your home purchhase. I tried to meet with you but you never responded. That is very much understanable. I also married a local (2018) and we are still together. I had no longer subscribed to your channel until I experience a sitution you had discussed in detail on one of your video's. It helped me immensely. What happens if your bank in the USA will no longer provde service because your mailing address is not vaiid? My bank notified me that they will close my account in 30 days, unless evidence is provided of a valid USA address. I had to scramble and have my funds in those accouts redisbruted to accounts overseas. I also had to have my social security monthly depposit changed to a foreign bank. I did a UA-cam search related to this subject and your channel was one of the few that discussed this matter in detail. Your channel and one other was very instrumental in my abilities to have my funds deposited to a foreign bank. This sitution had just recently occured so I am still waiting to see if this matter is resolved. I did not receive my June deposited which was expected and I will not be surprised but still disappointed if July brings no results. The entire package was sent more than 15 days ago so if my documentation is lacking I would assume I would have been contacted,. I am fortunate I can go 6 months plus without a deposit but that is not acceptable. I want to thank you for your ability to share a difficult situation. I was shocked to learn of your future plans. It is commendable that you want to keep your wife happy. However sometimes saying no can also provide future benefits. Leaving your wife and child no matter the shortness of time tells me your expenditures has out paced your intended desires. Moving to the USA with your family may be beneficial however as I am sure you know there are lots to be desired in the USA. Keeping her happy should only require you and your son presence. You are a planner like myself but I have learned there are situations/ things you can't plan for. Maybe you are a millionare, I dont know nor do I Need to know. You spent a great deal of monies to purchase and refurbish your home. Are you going to build a home in America in order to keep your wife happy. You my friend are exposing yourself to undue hardship. If you die prior to the 5 years what happens? If you die after 5 years she may remarry and your efforts is nullified. I can be totally wrong. I pray things go as you plan. But you need to ask yourself what true happiness really is. You do look emotionally spent. I do wish you wwell and thanks again for sharing. You are definitely a good person. I just hope you are not being taken advantage of . Respectfully

Thanks Jeff. Looking forward to new adventures in the US.

YOU HAVE SO HAPPY RETIREMENT LIFE WITH YOUR BELOVED WIFE AND THE WHOLE FAMILY!!! YOU GONNA MISS THEM SO MUCH!!!

You wont find a "good" car for $7500. They are mostly junk. Double that price for a reliable car.

Youre an old dude on social security. You really have no idea what youre doing. STAY in Philipines.

This is a terrible decision. I know that living in the Philippines can get old, and you start to miss the United States, but this is a really bad time. The US is on the verge of World War III. There are massive layoffs everywhere. The Democrat controlled city are a nightmare. After you spend a short time back in the US, you will realize how big of a mistake that this really was.

glad you made it to St. Louis safe and sound.. may I ask, how you paid for meal in Taipei airport?

How long will you remain in the States once you have your wife and child with you? Hope things go smooth for you. I and my wife are hoping to make our move to Leyte in May of next year for a life of part of the year in the Philippines and part of the year here in South Carolina. I have been to Ormoc and look forward to visiting Ormoc again. One day we will have to get together in Ormoc for coffee. Take good care of yourself.

I am curious as to what kind of job you can find at our ages…

Do not come back to the US . Economy and inflation is terrible. You will not be able to save any.

ok thank u for that info

Buddy u are a loser!

Another stupid broke expat surprise , surprise!

Well you will be coming to my area, (I live in Affton). I will be in Ormoc in Sept.

People come and go everywhere. No place is perfect anywhere.

I don’t know how old you are but you have to retire on your full age (66 or 67) for your wife to get 50% of your SS. If you start taking your SS at 62, the 50% doesn’t apply anymore. I know because I talked to an SS person when I was turning 62 and I wanted to get the 50% based on his SS but the guy said since he retired at 62, out of luck. I’m getting my SS based on my income.

It's kind of ironic that illegals entering the USA are treated better than Americans who have a foreign wife which has to jump through so many hoops and pay so much in fees just to enter the USA to visit. Go figure.

How did you apply your petition without passport and marriage cert. You are documentarily qualified right?

Have you or your wife looked into online businesses like affiliate marketing? She can do that here with Shopee and make money on this side of the pond.

The wrong Party is in office.

We were approved in 2020, and all our documents were sent to the NVC after CSIS approved our petition. In November 2023, the NVC emailed us to say they forwarded our documents to Manila, and we had to wait for a letter with an appointment date for the interview. If I knew it was going to take this long, I would have just stayed in Las Vegas, where we were married, and filed for an adjustment of status. The Manila Embassy doesn't have enough interviewers because we are too far from the Mexico border.

Good luck.

Dude, Don't do it!

Ilive in seattle its not hard

Dude, if you have not heard no one is saving anything here in the states, your better off going threw the Mexican border saying your an migrant and getting free crap, & it`s $200 a day for a rent car, You better leave your family there come back get your money from pension. Start digging deep!

So you want to leave and go to Lexington for 5 years!

Bringing her back will be the worst mistake you’ve made

Yes, you made alot of mistakes foriegners do. Your eyes were bigger than your wallet. Let this be a cautionary tale. Don't do what jeff did. He has everything figured out just like he did coming to the Philippines. Some want to come their but they use good judgment. Stay in America make your money 62 plus. Have at least 2500.00 per month pension plus a nest egg 100,000 plus. I have never seen a foriegner fail on that.

Best of luck

Best of luck to you.

Best of luck to you.

great vid

Safe travels Jeff, and I hope everything cooperates with your plans..
