I paid off mortgage now my sons they’re living in it. Both of them employed in medical field and they just pay property tax only. Thanks for your concern 🎉

    Wonderful -- a beautiful simple life in retirement and on very little ! Something impossible for me to have in the US now. Everything here is so expensive anymore - nothing much is cheap like it used to be 50 years ago. My focus the past few years now is on Cambodia and the Philippines for a much more affordable place to live. People are super friendly & welcoming in both countries towards expats like I would be. Cost of living is about the same but the "retirement visa" is much cheaper in Cambodia ! The weather is a bit cooler in the Philippines where it is almost never 100 F. For an old man it is easier to take. - - - I may visit Cambodia 1st in Nov. -- and -- if it gets too hot by March (?) just head on over to the Philippines ? They offer a simple 'tourist visa' you can renew for up to 3 years ! --?-- 🤗 ❤ 🙏 ✌ 👍 🍺
