    That’s why when you come to the Philippines, you have to try to avoid having any kids in the picture. Because they could put a kink in your retirement trying to live the good life trying to live that dream kids or just suck you dry financially and make it so you ain’t got no time to have fun in retirement That’s the downside to retiring but then having kids in the picture he gotta go over there by yourself Smokin Hot young babe and make sure kids are taken completely out of the picture or your wallet will be drain dry in the dreams of living in paradise on the beach will be taken away

    While I was amused to hear Boobie is going to be sitting for school exams concurrently with her toilet training, I have to say this video gave me pause Calvin. I seem to recall you saying that the reason you started renting that place in Siquijor was because you realized that living in that house you built in San Carlos City Extension wasn't the life. you came to the Philippines to live. Absolutely no offense intended, but living in a subdivision with a hawkish live-in who feels she needs to keep constant tabs on you because the implication of trust has been shattered and with two young children to boot... That sounds like the life that some of ya'll swore you never go back to, the one in the USA some were so desperate to escape from. How many expats recreate that life they hated in Nowhere Minnesota. Food for thought.

      Yes, without transforming oneself, we're 'doomed' to repeat the same pattern, albeit with different people in different surroundings. If you think filipinas are submissive sparrows, think again. They can be quite hawkish when to comes to making demands on your resources. Sometimes my mouth is agape watching simps bend over backwards to take care of responsibilities that were never properly theirs to begin with. I think previous relationships back in their home countries left them badly damaged and wounded, and they bring that over here to be easily fleeced and/or taken advantage of. Sad

      You've done well Sir. This makes a good teacher. Examples to show. Not just talk. I believe and practice that way of living, now that I'm a senior. I haven't contacted you except when I arrived in Cebu in 4/2023. I for one, have been helped by you back then. But since that time, I have been scammed, robbed, and had a separate altercation and had months dealing with banks in the U.S. I had to borrow money from one of my sisters to pay rent in Lapu-lapu, etc,etc. I wanted seek help. I even thought about calling you. But I tell everyone, especially Christians. That I have a God! And bro. As always. HE rescues me! At one time Calvin, I was checking the cost to go back to the U.S. But I'm still here, PRAISE GOD! NOW, once again, my soul looks back and wonders how i got over! why? Because brother Calvin. I know alone, I'm ill equipped, and I will continue to pray for you all too. Thanks for videos.

    I haven't been able to get any of the other Philippine UA-camrs to answer my question...
    The wife and I are considering the PI as a retirement destination. We will be living off of a little more than $8000 per month. We are hoping to find an oceanfront 2-3 bedroom home, with Western amenities like what I think they call a "Euro kitchen". (Full size appliances, oven, cooktop, dishwasher, etc.
    Is it possible to find that on our budget, or am I dreaming?

    The schools are horrible in the Philippines. That includes most of the private schools. We homeschooled. Until college. Our 13 year old is in his second semester of engineering at the university on a full scholarship. Our youngest is starting college in January, also on full scholarship - and will still be 12. We dedicated our lives to it, they are the youngest students on campus.
    Philippines finished dead last on the most recent international tests (PISA - program for international student assessment). Being a top school in the Philippines is like being a top skier in Nigeria. You have to take charge personally.

If you lived in Duma then having a beach house in Siquijor would be viable, way too far from San Carlos. And like your bus accident shows, no type of vehicle is safe over there. The family is a priority over the beach. There must be nice beaches around San Carlos??
