One secret to retirement is to be physically fit. I mean you have to to do strength training as you grow older. Exercise everyday do yoga, meditation. Your retirement is useless if your not physically fit.
you're so right, and Previous generations have proven that. Staying fit doesnt mean we will live forever, but it does mean we have a better chance of enjoying our best years!
Salamat Ate Gi. My wife surprised me the other day that she wants to retire in PH maybe spending 6 months there and 6 months in UK. I thought we will be staying full time in the UK for our retirement but I have since been thinking about what she said. We plan on early retirement in our early 60s. By the time we retire we would have been living overseas for over 40 years. Glad to have found your channel to help us on this journey.
I'm glad to hear its helpful. It's a huge adjustment to return and live in the Philippines after many years abroad. My goal is to ease our return through preparation. Salamat po!
It was a fulfilling retirement for us. My husband and I are now connected in our parish where we moved. We are doing volunteer works such as being lectors, members of a choir. Also my husband teaches bible study, cathechism and help couples to complete their confirmation class. So fulfilling. We go to Pinas and stay about 3 to four months since now we have a new house somewhere in Rizal. In other words, in any phase of life, it is how you make it. 🙏💗
AWESOME video. My wife and I have been retired for 17 years and we have enjoyed every minute of it! We are in our mid-50s now. I achieved financial independence and retired early(FIRE)with just one income(mine) through hard work(6-7 days a week X 20 yrs). We made sacrifices, saved, invested and planned our retirement. I did not want to become homeless or become a Wal-Mart greeter in my 60s or 70s. I refused to become a victim and just focused on my goal of FIRE. RETIRED with fat FIRE and high net worth. We have been debt-free for over 20 years and life is good. Freedom to do anything we want, any time we want is great. Retiring in Southern California is convenient and comfortable for us. We just travel to nice destinations in the world when we feel a bit adventurous. We also enjoy our home so we stay home most of the time. We do not work at all in retirement, our money works for us as we are too young to collect Social Security. Those who get bored in retirement are boring people to begin with. Gotta have hobbies, not vices. 😊
@@paengguin9381 yes! High five!! You are such an inspiration!! I didn’t learn about FIRE soon enough to retire early. But we are blessed just the same. Thanks for watching!
@@kikes2200 no. It is called planning early, living way below my means, not keeping up with others, and delayed gratification. I watched my parents and siblings failed with finances when I was growing up and I did not want to be like them so I took a different financial path.
My wife and I too are planning for our retirement. Recently, we talked about the golden age. This stage maybe both of us are not capable to think or do things. We save some as we can for our kids to use it and take care of us. Let the kids enjoy the life when parents are aging.
Retiring in 17 years feels like a long journey ahead, but I'm learning so much from my older co-workers and those who are already retired. They're helping me build a solid foundation with all their stories about life after work. Ang dami kong natututunan sa mga kwento nila about how they want to spend their retirement!
Congratulations on planning for your retirement! The journey for me isn’t linear because I learnt that I am both on stage 1 and 3 at the moment. Stage 2 was rough but glad that I am able to slowly embrace my new slow paced life now. I am 38 and my husband is 43 (no kids) and we reached FIRE last year so we resigned from our jobs recently. This year, my husband and I will be experimenting with spending six months in our PH vacation home in the province as I spend quality time with my still strong 85 year old lola who raised me and six months in our home here in EU where we have been naturalised already.
Wow! I'm so impressed. You are FIRE'd (no oun intended), and retired so young. I wish I had known FIRE earlier in my life. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Enjoy your long retirement. Thank you for watching.
My wife and i love your channel. We are both 50 and for some reason parang ate ka nga namin. We are from SoCal and planning to retire in the PI in 2 years. Very inspiring videos ate, thank you for what you do.
Thank YOU for watching my videos. I'm touched that I'm like an "Ate" to you. Your viewership and response inspire me to do better and to share life experiences that I hope can be helpful, especially to Filipinos abroad. My best to you! - Ate Gi
I'm glad that I came across your channel po. I'm already 36 years old...lahat naman po tayo tatanda kaya maganda po makita ko 'tong video nyo para at least may idea ako sa ibang plan ng ibang tao sa retirement nila. 😊
I started following your channel a few months ago. I too am also nearing my retirement stage. I have planned out and am very near to my financial goals for retirement. I started investing in stocks when I turned 18. I was blessed by my wonderful parents who guided me through the intricacies of financial knowledge. With that in mind, my roots are also in the Philippines although most of my family were in the military I never really got a chance to see my homeland. My father was stationed in various areas of Europe I've had more exposure in the European continent than anywhere else. Fast forward to today settling down in Carmel, being so in love with the ocean I've always yearned to one day go back home and experience what I've been missing all this time. Thanks to these stages, I believe that I will be able to cover these insights you bestowd on this video. I will feel like an adventurer once I settle down over there. What a wonderful stage that will be. Keep up these videos take care and God Bless you Ate Gi.
@@johnnyS01 you are blessed to have parents with financial wisdom that they passed on to you. If you love the water, you’ll absolutely love our Philippine seas down south. My best to your retirement plans.
Great video and advice / reminders. I am retired. Wife and I decided to retire in both Canada and Philippines as we enjoy both too much. We will continue this until we get too old for the travel back and forth twice a year. Congratulations on your channel!
love this episode, been following your vlogs about retirement as I am in that stage already being in my mid 50's, being an OFW ,I am aware that time will come when I'll go back to Philippines... truly i'm inspired and looking forward to your next epsisode, thanks for sharing!
You already made a choice, good luck to your retirement. We're lucky that all immediate families on both sides are here in the US. My children & apo's lives close by. We're a part of their life & vice versa. I've been retired over 10 yrs.
I’m still processing things ahead, like what you are describing…. I love all your videos, and I hope this reaches out to other kabababayans feeling homesickness
Thanks for watching my videos. I'm also still processing our retirement plans and coming out with videos on that topic help me realize things when I read comments and other perspectives.
My definition of retirement is when your money is working for you, as opposed to you working for money. It’s the opportunity to pursue your passions ( if your job was not your passion), learn new things, but most importantly , have the time to devote on physical fitness and mental development on a daily basis.
@@chemistIT I totally agree! Financial freedom is freedom from the rat race. Whether people love their job or not, there will be a point in their life that the body will say NO to work even if their mind says YES . Having the option to quit working due to financial freedom is liberating. No more meetings, no more stress, no more deadlines, no more commutes, and the best of all, no need to ask permission to go on vacation!
Hello, I learn something new today with your vlog and I thank you for that. Hopefully getting my pension soon and start my transition on new stage of my life. I plan to volunteer or attend any short courses or certificate classes, like music or photography or learn again the thesis of solar energy which I changed before I finished my undergraduate degree in Manila. Again thank you for sharing. Maybe you can start writing on subject anything under the sun which is beneficial to everyone !!
@@ronsantos2962 …the thesis of solar energy! Whoa!! Tell us more. Congratulations on your transition to retirement. Can’t believe I am close to that too. Seems like you have a good plan laid out. My best to you!!
I love everything about your vlog Ate Gi. I myself, am trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up...and you're helping many to look ahead, plan ahead and be hopeful. Thank you.
@@official_ate_gi_channel I’d like to especially commend you for such a delicately, tastefully done video editing. The way you worked the frames are sweet, sensible and always advancing . Very gracefully executed. Love!
I just want to say that I watch your videos and I enjoy them. Just turned 50 but I am already looking forward to retirement pero... matagal pa. Hayyyy... Been an RN here in the US for 20 yrs now. Thanks for the content.
First of all, thank you for always watching my videos. Viewers like you motivate me to improve each time I make a new one. Enjoy your working journey. Darating din ang retirement. It doesn't come fast enough but with enough preparations, we'll be ready when we get there.
Thank you for sharing. I think nasa stage 3 na me hahaha trial and error stage and finding purpose. Hopefully I get to find myself and reach stage 4! Love your calming voice!
I love your channel so much, I could relate 100%, from raising our only child to where I am right. I’m retiring next month after 24 years from a prestigious hospital in Orange Co. Going back home hopefully early next year, I just have to make sure that my daughter is stable enough to live on her own, making sure my daughter will not be homeless in NYC, her happy place. She does not want to come back to OC after college.
I’m 60+ I live in Australia but I don’t want to go back to the Philippines as the problems of the systems in the Philippines is really overwhelming. And besides my grandchildren were born and lives here my only child doesn’t want to go back to the Pinas. We prefer the lifestyle here. Good luck to both of you and God bless.
Ate Gi thank you so much for this inspiring video. Hoping to retire in Ph too. Lahat nung sinasabi mong gustong gawin un din ang pinapangarap ko sana matupad namin. Kahit wala na ang mga magulang ko, gusto ko pa din tumanda kasama ang mga kapatid ko. God bless and more power!
Always nice listening to you, your voice is so comforting. We are also planning to retire in 3 years, my husband is just waiting for me to turn 62 then off we go to hopefully retire in the Phils. I love your channel!
Hi, thanks for the video. Also from west coast, except watching you from Vancouver, Canada. Planning to retire around the same time as you. We plan to retire in both countries (during the "Go-go" stage of retirement); and later on, when we're on our "slow-go" and "No-go" stages, we'll settle for good in the Phils. na.
Hello Ate Gi! Thanks for the wonderful insights.. we are also looking forward for a wonderful retirement life . .. we are now in living in beautiful Sydney.. hopefully, we’ll just divide our time between Sydney and the Philippines when we retire 😇
New subscriber here. Well done and very informative, coherently narrated that flows freely with nicely edited videos and well framed images. I retired last year at 62 and it was the best decision I made without regrets. I wake up happy every day. It’s important to explore interests or hobbies before retiring to keep busy.
That's why I can't wait to retire. Retirees say that even if someone thinks that they are not stressed at their jobs, upon retirement, they realize that there is actually some stress and its liberating to part with it. Thanks for subscribing!
Your videos are awesome, this one especially! Superb editing and content.. i am not a retiree nor near it, but your voice is just calming amd has a great insight!❤
One good way to deal with retirement is be able to commit one’s self in enriching one’s faith “spiritually.” Volunteerism in a nearby church or faith that we have. And from it, move on. I am of the assumption that you are both going to receive pension funds regularly. Win win situation. You will be both OK. Believe. Smile😊
Love your channel Ate Gi, my wife and I retired early since 2019 dahil sa apo. Gusto ko rin sanang magretire sa pilipinas. Sa bay area din ako nagtrabaho as Samtrans bus operator for 32 years. Looking forward to your next update. 🙏❤️
Hi! Kamusta po! Taga San Mateo county po kami. My son takes Samtrans to go to school everyday. Sana po makauwi kayo sa atin. Para po kayong in-laws ko. Sila nag alaga sa mga anak namin. Thank you for always watching!
This is very enlightening. Thank you! Would you please consider touching on taxation policy when retiring in the Philippines after working and living in the US? Are Filipinos double taxed for retirement income from IRA accounts in the US?
I really love your channel ma'am. Relate na relate ako even though I am not in my retirement age and phase yet. Your vlogs made me think of what I should do before and on the retirement phase. Dalawa lang din kaming magkapatid ng sister ko and our mom is also going through aging phase. Just like you guys, my sister is the one who is taking care of her for now, I wanna take care of her too one day. Aileen from FL ♥️
You are amazing woman .... You touch people heart by realizing what lifes important aspect .I am always looking forward for your video hopefully you can create a group and interact with people like us whos planning to retire in Philippines.. I am 49 turning 50 , working here in New Zealand as a single mom of two grown ups ....lol...more power amd hope to chat with you ...thanks zeny
@@zenymunoz-fm5zn Awww! Thank you Zeny for always watching. I am humbled that my videos are able to touch peoples’ heart. Maybe one day I can create a group so all likeminded people like us can chat. My best to you!
Mas masarap buhay sa Pilipinas. Lalo na kung maayos trabaho mo. Relax ka lang. May transpo ka, katulong, magandang bahay, maayos na education at healthcare. Yan pagmaayos kinikita mo. Marami naman opportunities sa Pilipinas na puede kumita mas pa sa kinikita ng mga tao sa USA. Diskarte lang yan pagandto ka sa Pilipinas.
Me n wife retired in the USA 10yrs now. We are both financially stable and have a very good health insurance and saving. We are both actively involved in physical activities but decided to retire here in the US. Pinas is not our place to retire but vacation once a year is one of our option.
I just found your channel today. It is a great channel. Your thinking is aligned with the way I am thinking and trying to prepare for. Is there way to contact you for more information? Have you and your friends considered organizing a support group focused on helping each other navigate and transition into thier new retirement lifestyle?
Hi ategie Im from stockholm I loved your vlogg and while at work im listening and very entertain too.God bless u and all Its a good idea and true to life all things u said!
New subscriber here and I like your topic about retirement I enjoyed listening to you. You are doing a good job and I'm learning a lot from you. I used to live in the Bay Area but I just moved here in SoCal. I'm in my 50s now and maybe for me, retirement is still far :) but hearing about it from you makes me feel better to know about it, so thank you! 🥰
hello! ang bilis ng pumunta sa Baguio ngayon dahil sa skyway and other road improvements. Yes, we plan on visiting Baguio again. Love that place. Thanks for watching ha!
My uncle and aunt will be moving for good from California to the Philippines. They have millions of pesos in the Philippines so they can afford better health care in the Philippines. Good for them.
I enjoy watching your channel :) As I turn 50 next year, I am looking for ideas on what to do when I retire. While I may be able to retire earlier than my spouse, I am a bit fearful that I will get bored as my circle are all working. I am hoping to get as many ideas as I can watching what people do when they retire. :)
@@cliffg5349 don’t be fearful. Be happy and watch your circle work. Lol!! But seriously, learning a new skill or re-starting an old passion will take so much of your time there will be no time to get bored. Thanks for watching!!
Congrats on your retirement! I retired 4 months ago--will turn 55 at the end of the year. I go to the gym then golf course (driving range) then I do my morning walk everyday. I would like to travel but my significant other is still working and is not able to retire for another 6 years. I am starting to get bored. I sure hope that I will get passed this stage. 😅
NICE VIDEO COMPILATION Ma'am GiGi...👍👍👍 Bagong subscriber mo po ako...I almost finished to watch your videos.... 👍👍👍👍 Ang sarap pakinggan ng boses mo Ma'am GiGi...napaka soft.....❤
what a vlog, ATE GI. i enjoyed watching it. simple yet so informative. and may konting kurot ba while watching. from Pinas po ako. a retired gov’t employee, single but a happy soul naman.
Kita kits na lang po tayo sa Pilipinas. Must answer: what to do 8hrs a day 5 days a week as much as being financially stable. My dad ones said for us who has options need to consider retiring to the Philippines. Many people in yhe US only been in the US all their lives and they struggle. No other options is available but to live in the US... Video saved! thank you!!!
Feel na feel ko ang content mo na'to. Likewise, bilang paghahanda in 3 yrs time I've been asking myself what kind of preparation do i need to do?...THANK YOU for a much elaborated facts before and during retirement🙏😅 💖
Only problem I have my young grandchildren around. My daughter, son need me , they are both working. Full time , Dr surgeon , actuarial mathematics. Actually we are already retired. Totally agree , my doughter worried if I stay province because to far Dr , hospital. If manila so crowded.
I am in my 50s living in Los Angeles. 5 years ago I studied investing and trading stock market. I have my Roth IRA. Investing has become my passion trading and investing in the US Market and Philippines Stocks (PSEI) that would carry thru my retirement and beyond. Hindi madali and trading stocks at investing. You need to learn it by heart. Kung mababaw lang knowledge mo , you will loose money.
4 Stages of Retirement: @1:48 1st: feels like a vacation @3:17 2nd: feeling lost @5:23 3rd: trial and error @7:08 4th: re-invent and re-wire Thank you & God bless everyone 🙏
Hahaha u gave me an idea.. slamat.. kasi iniisip na yan mg retire prang na depresses na agad.. pero segi lg uwi nalg maramin namg pwd gawin sa pinas at mura ..at pasyal pasyal nalg dito pg my ma miss ang America...😭
Kung puede kang pumasyal sa States, tumira sa Pinas, or vice versa, ok yon. Ang maganda eh may options tayo kung saan natin gustong tumira pag tanda natin. 🤗 Thanks for watching!
Im 64 I leave in Australia for 40yrs I'm retire now and I love it my husband and I we have been travelling for 9yrs we do what we want we wake up the time we want we so happy of our life and no stress. Thank you ma'am for sharing your story god bless, and I hope you enjoy your retirement planned in the Philippines 🙏🙏❤🇵🇭
I am 60, working in Sutter Health, my husband just retired few months ago. Still undecided kung kailan pa ako mag re retire…hirap pag nasanay ka sa $$$ na tinatanggap mo every 2 weeks, scary to know na mababawasan na yong natatanggap mo every 2 weeks…Hayyyy
That's true. I actually feel the same way. I often ask my retired friends if they had qualms about retiring because of the stop of regular work income. But they always remind me that we can always make more money, but we can not make more time. We never know how many "good years" we have after retirement. So the faster we take it, the better. As for the money, they said that they adjusted to the money they have saved. And those who saved really well said, they actually have more money than what they need. But all that is relative. Depends on how we live, if we have fewer needs.
Maganda po yung mga video nyo pero just looking at it I know it involves a lot of editing. Try nyo rin po i minimize yung sobrang dami ng video para di kayo mahirapan mag stitch ng mga video nyo. Then by that time you can do more upload. Like yung isang video several minutes na naka focus lang kayo and parang magku kuwento lang kayo na nakaupo sa kitchen table nyo. Para hindi na kailangan ng maraming stitching and edit.
@@ronaldsunga2759 Baka Hindi nyo ako panoorin kung puro mukha ko. Hahaha! But I get it. I sometimes think about that. But the truth is, I enjoy filming and editing. Kaya kahit mahirap Hindi ko nararamdaman.
No need to edit , change, shorten, etc etc. I like the way it is. I wish it could be longer nga. What’s nice is, ate Gi doesn’t vlog frequently. Lagi Kong inaabangan. It’s like a teaser. Love it! Simply put, it’s cute and adorable 💕 meron ba non? My husband is in his late 70’s while my 75th is just around the corner. We don’t mind staying home but lately, we’re planning to vacation internationally 3x a year, naka schedule na nga. Medyo hectic but we are still able…for now. I retired in 2016 and feeling ko parang bakasyon stage pa kami. One thing I’m thankful for is we enjoy each other. SIGURO dahil dalawa lang kami magkasama all the time. We’re looking forward to going home next year, 2 months. God bless Ate Gi. It’s fun din na nagshshare din kaming mga followers mo.
Retirement is sacrifice and joyful. Why sacrifice. If you are the boss at work and you are enjoying that position now you have to give it up. Why enjoyable? no more headaches, unless you don't have funds to retire. So for those people who wants to retire in the USA or other countries make sure you have to plan it very seriously. Specially your funds. That is the most important. Are you going to depend on social security. How much is your social security when you retire? Do you have 401k or IRA or savings like CD or Bonds. Did you invest in stocks, silver or Gold. Or you had a good time while you are young and did not think of Retirement. Some of us are Bless. I consider my self to that. But i been through alot in life. But God Almighty still Bless me and my wife with good life. So for those who are thinking to retire make sure you have the funds to do so. And you have medical insurance. Specially if you are planning to retire in the Philippines. That is your first agenda before good time or vacation 😊. God Bless to all who are getting close to Retirement.❤🎉😊
In Pinas, make sure you have a very good health insurance because if ever you get into an accident or be seriously sick, you'll go bankrupt with the cost of medical bills. Also, hope not to get into a legal litigation with anyone, if you do it will go on and on for a long time and the legal bills will make you poor in no time, not to mention the frustration and depression you'll experience in dealing with the system.
May 2 kilala ako nag business sa Pilipinas na nag retire galing America. Isa nag invest sa McDonalds franchise nag umpisa sa Tanza ngayon may 3 na syang branch. Isa naman nagtayo ng resort sa amin. It made money aside sa pension nya. Forgot to say ex US Military sya.
I retired from a job, I don’t like, now I only do things I like, the things I get paid while having fun. Like my acting. Helping somebody become millionaire, . Promoting Philippine tourism. #AbePagtamaActor #IAmMegaworldAbePagtama
It's great to hear that you are loving your work! Not all people do nor have the courage to leave even if they aren't happy with their work. Thanks for sharing and for watching!!
It's good to retire in the Philippines. However, for those who are from the U.S., just keep in mind that if you're going to rely on Medicare for your health needs, it is not extended in the Philippines. There are options to just get a private health insurance coverage but may cost a little. Other than that, if you have a place to retire then you are set. Enjoy!
I'm not retired yet, so I don't really know. That's actually one of the things I'm insecure about. But some of my retired friends said that because they have fewer needs, their retirement savings/income is enough for them. And those who saved really well for retirement said, sobra pa nga daw ang na-e-save nila.
One secret to retirement is to be physically fit. I mean you have to to do strength training as you grow older. Exercise everyday do yoga, meditation. Your retirement is useless if your not physically fit.
you're so right, and Previous generations have proven that. Staying fit doesnt mean we will live forever, but it does mean we have a better chance of enjoying our best years!

You already made a choice, good luck to your retirement. We're lucky that all immediate families on both sides are here in the US. My children & apo's lives close by. We're a part of their life & vice versa. I've been retired over 10 yrs.
@@JunRoss-pp3mv sounds like a great retirement. Home is truly where the family is.
hI aTE gI, ITS TRULY NICE and watch your Vlog, am quite busy but i stumble on your vlog, i hope to watch more when am no longer busy.
I’m still processing things ahead, like what you are describing…. I love all your videos, and I hope this reaches out to other kabababayans feeling homesickness
Thanks for watching my videos. I'm also still processing our retirement plans and coming out with videos on that topic help me realize things when I read comments and other perspectives.
I always look forward to your next video. I enjoy them and learn a lot. ❤
deeply appreciate your support.
My definition of retirement is when your money is working for you, as opposed to you working for money. It’s the opportunity to pursue your passions ( if your job was not your passion), learn new things, but most importantly , have the time to devote on physical fitness and mental development on a daily basis.
@@chemistIT I totally agree! Financial freedom is freedom from the rat race. Whether people love their job or not, there will be a point in their life that the body will say NO to work even if their mind says YES . Having the option to quit working due to financial freedom is liberating. No more meetings, no more stress, no more deadlines, no more commutes, and the best of all, no need to ask permission to go on vacation!
I totally agree with you.
Hello, I learn something new today with your vlog and I thank you for that. Hopefully getting my pension soon and start my transition on new stage of my life. I plan to volunteer or attend any short courses or certificate classes, like music or photography or learn again the thesis of solar energy which I changed before I finished my undergraduate degree in Manila. Again thank you for sharing. Maybe you can start writing on subject anything under the sun which is beneficial to everyone !!
@@ronsantos2962 …the thesis of solar energy! Whoa!! Tell us more.
Congratulations on your transition to retirement. Can’t believe I am close to that too. Seems like you have a good plan laid out. My best to you!!
❤❤❤
I love everything about your vlog Ate Gi. I myself, am trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up...and you're helping many to look ahead, plan ahead and be hopeful. Thank you.
Hi! I am happy to be able to help while I enjoy the art of filming and editing. Thanks for watching!!
@@official_ate_gi_channel I’d like to especially commend you for such a delicately, tastefully done video editing. The way you worked the frames are sweet, sensible and always advancing . Very gracefully executed. Love!
@@GioRoyale awww! Thank you for such kind words.
Gusto ko un boses mo lalo na un mga stories na ginagawa very interesting ❤️
Salamat ha. I'm glad my voice is pleasing to you and you like the stories that I share.
I just want to say that I watch your videos and I enjoy them. Just turned 50 but I am already looking forward to retirement pero... matagal pa. Hayyyy... Been an RN here in the US for 20 yrs now. Thanks for the content.
First of all, thank you for always watching my videos. Viewers like you motivate me to improve each time I make a new one.
Enjoy your working journey. Darating din ang retirement. It doesn't come fast enough but with enough preparations, we'll be ready when we get there.
Thank you for sharing. I think nasa stage 3 na me hahaha trial and error stage and finding purpose. Hopefully I get to find myself and reach stage 4! Love your calming voice!
I’m sure you’ll get there. thank you.
Thank you for sharing your journeys. I am planning to retire in 5 years and your You Tube is helping me plan ahead. Take care.
Wow! Same here, 5 years and 10 months. Kahit di malaki ang pension ko, go na para ma-enjoy ang life.
@@arclindsey2256 I’m glad it is of help to you. Konti na lang retired na tayo. 😊❤️
I love your channel so much, I could relate 100%, from raising our only child to where I am right. I’m retiring next month after 24 years from a prestigious hospital in Orange Co. Going back home hopefully early next year, I just have to make sure that my daughter is stable enough to live on her own, making sure my daughter will not be homeless in NYC, her happy place. She does not want to come back to OC after college.
I’m 60+ I live in Australia but I don’t want to go back to the Philippines as the problems of the systems in the Philippines is really overwhelming. And besides my grandchildren were born and lives here my only child doesn’t want to go back to the Pinas. We prefer the lifestyle here. Good luck to both of you and God bless.
@marievelasco5967 Thanks for supporting my channel! I'm excited for you na retired ka na by next month! My best to you!
Ate Gi thank you so much for this inspiring video. Hoping to retire in Ph too. Lahat nung sinasabi mong gustong gawin un din ang pinapangarap ko sana matupad namin. Kahit wala na ang mga magulang ko, gusto ko pa din tumanda kasama ang mga kapatid ko. God bless and more power!
Pareho pala tayo. Good luck to your plans. May the Lord bless us with good health.
Yeah vlogging helps others. Can be a purpose.
What you watched is part of what I learned from UA-cam. I never knew how to film and edit before. UA-cam is my school. 💜
Salamat ulit Ate Gi sa info. Nice visual places. ♥♥♥
salamat din sa panonood.
Always nice listening to you, your voice is so comforting. We are also planning to retire in 3 years, my husband is just waiting for me to turn 62 then off we go to hopefully retire in the Phils. I love your channel!
That's wonderful! My best to you on your retirement plans. Thank you for watching my videos.
Hi, thanks for the video. Also from west coast, except watching you from Vancouver, Canada. Planning to retire around the same time as you. We plan to retire in both countries (during the "Go-go" stage of retirement); and later on, when we're on our "slow-go" and "No-go" stages, we'll settle for good in the Phils. na.
Sounds like a plan 💛 Thanks for watching. Hope you're enjoying Vancouver!
5 years from now i will be retiring. salamat
❤❤❤
Thanks for this new upload ate G.
Worth to share😊
Thank you for always weatching, and for sharing it! 💜
Hello Ate Gi! Thanks for the wonderful insights..
we are also looking forward for a wonderful retirement life . .. we are now in living in beautiful Sydney.. hopefully, we’ll just divide our time between Sydney and the Philippines when we retire 😇
❤❤❤
That's wonderful! We are fortunate to have options of living abroad or settling in the Philippines, or going back and forth. Thanks for watching!!
New subscriber here. Well done and very informative, coherently narrated that flows freely with nicely edited videos and well framed images. I retired last year at 62 and it was the best decision I made without regrets. I wake up happy every day. It’s important to explore interests or hobbies before retiring to keep busy.
That's why I can't wait to retire. Retirees say that even if someone thinks that they are not stressed at their jobs, upon retirement, they realize that there is actually some stress and its liberating to part with it. Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for a nice video. It helps me a lot emotionally while planning our early retirement.
I see that we are in the same retirement planning stage. Mas mauna lang ako sa iyo na maraming years. lol!! Preparation is key. Thanks for watching!

Your videos are awesome, this one especially! Superb editing and content.. i am not a retiree nor near it, but your voice is just calming amd has a great insight!❤
Wow, thank you for your kind words.
One good way to deal with retirement is be able to commit one’s self in enriching one’s faith “spiritually.” Volunteerism in a nearby church or faith that we have. And from it, move on. I am of the assumption that you are both going to receive pension funds regularly. Win win situation. You will be both OK. Believe. Smile😊

This is very enlightening. Thank you! Would you please consider touching on taxation policy when retiring in the Philippines after working and living in the US? Are Filipinos double taxed for retirement income from IRA accounts in the US?
I really love your channel ma'am. Relate na relate ako even though I am not in my retirement age and phase yet. Your vlogs made me think of what I should do before and on the retirement phase. Dalawa lang din kaming magkapatid ng sister ko and our mom is also going through aging phase. Just like you guys, my sister is the one who is taking care of her for now, I wanna take care of her too one day.

Thanks a lot!
Mas masarap buhay sa Pilipinas. Lalo na kung maayos trabaho mo. Relax ka lang. May transpo ka, katulong, magandang bahay, maayos na education at healthcare. Yan pagmaayos kinikita mo. Marami naman opportunities sa Pilipinas na puede kumita mas pa sa kinikita ng mga tao sa USA. Diskarte lang yan pagandto ka sa Pilipinas.
Totoo yan. Kaya lang hindi karamihan ang magaling dumiskarte, hindi marunong mag negosyo. So we opt for the more structured work. 🙂
SOBRANG GALING NYONG MAG VLOG!!! 🎉🎉🎉
SOBRANG PASASALAMAT KO SA INYO!!!💜
Me n wife retired in the USA 10yrs now.
We are both financially stable and have a very good health insurance and saving.
We are both actively involved in physical activities but decided to retire here in the US.
Pinas is not our place to retire but vacation once a year is one of our option.
Wherever we are happy is the place to be. Pinas is not for everyone. Thanks for sharing!

My uncle and aunt will be moving for good from California to the Philippines. They have millions of pesos in the Philippines so they can afford better health care in the Philippines. Good for them.
I enjoy watching your channel :)
As I turn 50 next year, I am looking for ideas on what to do when I retire. While I may be able to retire earlier than my spouse, I am a bit fearful that I will get bored as my circle are all working. I am hoping to get as many ideas as I can watching what people do when they retire. :)
@@cliffg5349 don’t be fearful. Be happy and watch your circle work. Lol!! But seriously, learning a new skill or re-starting an old passion will take so much of your time there will be no time to get bored. Thanks for watching!!

43 years old now. Watching po ng retirement plan nyo. Balak korin mag retire ng maaga
at what age do you plan to retire?
@@official_ate_gi_channel 55 po sana
Congrats on your retirement! I retired 4 months ago--will turn 55 at the end of the year. I go to the gym then golf course (driving range) then I do my morning walk everyday. I would like to travel but my significant other is still working and is not able to retire for another 6 years. I am starting to get bored. I sure hope that I will get passed this stage. 😅
i hear you. It can be difficult if our partner isn't retired yet. Don't get bored ha. Stage lang daw yan :-)

I am in my 50s living in Los Angeles. 5 years ago I studied investing and trading stock market. I have my Roth IRA. Investing has become my passion trading and investing in the US Market and Philippines Stocks (PSEI) that would carry thru my retirement and beyond. Hindi madali and trading stocks at investing.

Helloo ate Gi new follower po ako nyo hehhehe Ganda ng ganito vlog
Salamat po for subscribing!
I am 60, working in Sutter Health, my husband just retired few months ago. Still undecided kung kailan pa ako mag re retire…hirap pag nasanay ka sa $$$ na tinatanggap mo every 2 weeks, scary to know na mababawasan na yong natatanggap mo every 2 weeks…Hayyyy
That's true. I actually feel the same way. I often ask my retired friends if they had qualms about retiring because of the stop of regular work income. But they always remind me that we can always make more money, but we can not make more time. We never know how many "good years" we have after retirement. So the faster we take it, the better. As for the money, they said that they adjusted to the money they have saved. And those who saved really well said, they actually have more money than what they need. But all that is relative. Depends on how we live, if we have fewer needs.
I see na you have fur babies, are you planning to take them sa Pinas🥰?
@@ImmaDeville yes, they go wherever we go ☺️
Maganda po yung mga video nyo pero just looking at it I know it involves a lot of editing. Try nyo rin po i minimize yung sobrang dami ng video para di kayo mahirapan mag stitch ng mga video nyo. Then by that time you can do more upload. Like yung isang video several minutes na naka focus lang kayo and parang magku kuwento lang kayo na nakaupo sa kitchen table nyo. Para hindi na kailangan ng maraming stitching and edit.
@@ronaldsunga2759 Baka Hindi nyo ako panoorin kung puro mukha ko. Hahaha! But I get it. I sometimes think about that. But the truth is, I enjoy filming and editing. Kaya kahit mahirap Hindi ko nararamdaman.

My husband is in his late 70’s while my 75th is just around the corner. We don’t mind staying home but lately, we’re planning to vacation internationally 3x a year, naka schedule na nga.

SIGURO dahil dalawa lang kami magkasama all the time. We’re looking forward to going home next year, 2 months. God bless Ate Gi. It’s fun din na nagshshare din kaming mga followers mo.
Hi Gi! So based on your experience, saan mas maiigi mag retire?
Hi! I’m not retired yet but based on many comments, those who retired in the Philippines are very happy with their decision.
Oh okay. If I’m not mistaken, you were my classmate years ago at the PAL Learning Center. I think it was a travel agency course that we attended. 😊
Hi Ate Gi. I think we have a common friend (Anna). I saw her in your video. We’re coworkers in Chinabank.
@@atan1092 Oo nga. Nabanggit nga niya. I’ve used my videos with them quite a bit in my other YT videos. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for watching the retirement videos !🤗
Retirement is sacrifice and joyful. Why sacrifice. If you are the boss at work and you are enjoying that position now you have to give it up. Why enjoyable? no more headaches, unless you don't have funds to retire. So for those people who wants to retire in the USA or other countries make sure you have to plan it very seriously. Specially your funds. That is the most important. Are you going to depend on social security. How much is your social security when you retire? Do you have 401k or IRA or savings like CD or Bonds. Did you invest in stocks, silver or Gold. Or you had a good time while you are young and did not think of Retirement. Some of us are Bless. I consider my self to that. But i been through alot in life. But God Almighty still Bless me and my wife with good life. So for those who are thinking to retire make sure you have the funds to do so. And you have medical insurance. Specially if you are planning to retire in the Philippines. That is your first agenda before good time or vacation 😊. God Bless to all who are getting close to Retirement.❤🎉😊
I agree. Preparation is key, and prayers that everything will be alright. Thanks for watching po!
In Pinas, make sure you have a very good health insurance because if ever you get into an accident or be seriously sick, you'll go bankrupt with the cost of medical bills. Also, hope not to get into a legal litigation with anyone, if you do it will go on and on for a long time and the legal bills will make you poor in no time, not to mention the frustration and depression you'll experience in dealing with the system.
May 2 kilala ako nag business sa Pilipinas na nag retire galing America. Isa nag invest sa McDonalds franchise nag umpisa sa Tanza ngayon may 3 na syang branch. Isa naman nagtayo ng resort sa amin. It made money aside sa pension nya. Forgot to say ex US Military sya.
Wow! They're doing great! Hindi na ako mag ta trabaho or business pag nag retire kami. What we have is enough. Ayoko na ng stress.
Keep going
I retired from a job, I don’t like, now I only do things I like, the things I get paid while having fun. Like my acting. Helping somebody become millionaire, . Promoting Philippine tourism. #AbePagtamaActor #IAmMegaworldAbePagtama

Hi, how do you plan on healthcare in the Philippines? Thanks
@@Rblx4lifefam we will be able to carry our health insurance through retirement. But we need to claim by reimbursement.
In order to have medicare, you have to come back every year and have address in US. Is this true Ate Gi?@official_ate_gi_channel
it's impt to do voluntary job so you have a purpose
It's good to retire in the Philippines. However, for those who are from the U.S., just keep in mind that if you're going to rely on Medicare for your health needs, it is not extended in the Philippines. There are options to just get a private health insurance coverage but may cost a little. Other than that, if you have a place to retire then you are set. Enjoy!
I agree. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Goodam un pong transition ng pag accept na un income po ay bababa or mas konti na dahil retire na, paano nyo po natanggap un? Mahirap po ba?
I'm not retired yet, so I don't really know. That's actually one of the things I'm insecure about. But some of my retired friends said that because they have fewer needs, their retirement savings/income is enough for them. And those who saved really well for retirement said, sobra pa nga daw ang na-e-save nila.
@@official_ate_gi_channel thank u for answering po
