    Nobody should not think to live in the Philippines without retirement check coming every month. I've seen so many young expats from all over the world coming to the Philippines trying to live on UA-cam income. That's wrong.

    I don't understand how or why someone would say negative things about this wonderful man. I've met him in person and will see him again this weekend. I see terrible comments and hope that person gets a life. 😅

    Looks like she is a nice Lady. You are blessed you are surrounded with great family there.

    You are so right Sir. They have their own problems to solve. They wish they can help you but they cannot. They can but up to a certain point. Cannot wait to move in Philippines in 2027. Stay blessed

    Let's be transparent here they're not interested in you. They're interested in your money. What many older men don't realize is is that there are one bad fall away from breaking their hips, becoming immobilized or having a stroke dementia etc. there are many gentlemen all throughout the Philippines that are prisoners in their own home locked up in a back room or the bottom floor and the girlfriend or wife will keep you locked up in there she will move in all of her family plus her new boyfriend and just feed off of you keeping you alive to use your benefits to live high on the hog this is just business as usual in the Philippines. In the 35 years that I traveled and moved around there I met and saw many older men captive like this many Filipinos are looking for a victim like this. I wish this gentleman all the best I don't care how old you are nobody wants to be alone. Sometimes you have to settle for companionship, even though it might not be 100% what you want isn't that normal.

    Looking spiffy with that haircut, Barry!
    Good advice once again...
    Failure to plan is planning to fail, IMO...
    As a long-time expat and overseas dweller, an imperative from my experience...
    That includes a rainy day fund, insurance of some sort, a few clothes toothpadte, soap, etc., and plan B...
    Too many who are new to expat life are not prepared to deal with some of the, shall we say, situations you run into once outside of the comfort zone...
    Have a super week, you two! Tagaytay is looking good, too, BTW!
    👍😎👍

      Only problem is most days in the Philippines it RAINS! Your rainy fund will not last long!

    • @foreignerescapestothephi-lj3ls
      @foreignerescapestothephi-lj3ls 17 днів тому

      $2000 per month is the absolute MINIMUM you should reliably have coming in per month! Spend $1,500! And SAVE $500! Then you will be ok!

    • @barryinthepi390
      @barryinthepi390  9 днів тому +1

      There is Philhealth if you are married to a Filipina. There are private companies that do offer health plans, although I do use them. I can get some services at the VA Health Clinic in Manila, but its cheap enough for me to just pay to see a Specialist. You can find them at most Hospitals.

      I'm glad that you found your place here in the PI. I'm 82 and I sometimes fill like I have just months to live, other times I feel like I will live until I'm 100. We soldour house in Austin, Tx and it sold quickly. We weren't sure if we should buy a house or just rent. When we found this house for sell, I knew this was where we wanted to live. Now, I just do my vids, travel some around the Philippines. We have 5 dogs and they keep me in good shape and happy. We had to go back to the USA last year for my brothers funeral. We stayed 2 weeks and I couldn't wait to get back here. If you are ever in this area, please stop by for a visit.

    PH is not the ideal country for foreigners to settle foreigners in PH can't even own small portions of lands full business ownership & have very limited rights foreigners can be naturalized PH citizens if born & totally raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of most of them PH is paradise on earth for rich Filipinos only
