Although I first visited the Philippines in 2007, I grew up with the Filipino culture living in the Bay Area. I decided to retire in the Philippines at the age of 61. I collected my social security early at 62 and also had a monthly pension that allows me to live more comfortably here than in America. People are always smiling and friendly and the weather is more suitable for an older person. Hahahaha, when I went back to America to visit family, I was shocked by the food and rent prices. It made me feel like I made the right decision!!!!! 👍🇵🇭🇺🇲
Great info! I’m on disability, 54 year old male. What tips can you give me, for going to the Philippines? Iv’e never traveled, but i want to visit the Philippines first! What is the first step needed, to get things moving? Thanks for any help, that you can give me with this!
Very cool interview with Aaron Alex it seems like he has a lot more appreciation for other countries now that he's been to them and yeah bring as much money as you can the more the better
Let’s face it the reality is the Filipino people are more friendlier than people are in America. They are always smiling and laughing having a good time despite what economic hardships they may have. The cost of living definitely is a plus in the 🇵🇭. There are a lot of positives to anyone making the move. Me myself I spend 4-6 months a year in the 🇵🇭. Soon after I sale off my businesses and houses it will be my permanent residence. Life is definitely better in the 🇵🇭 take it from me. Ive seen the place transform and change a lot since my first visit in 1983. Yes that’s right I’m a long time visitor here, after 3 years at Clark AB I’ve been coming to the 🇵🇭 since. The only break I had was during the pandemic. I love ❤️ it Thanks for sharing ✌🏾.
The reality for foriegner in the Philippine.They can easily manage the financial expenses and affordable.It depends the way of lifestyle.The life is slow and less of stress.In the west you need to be hurry to make money because the life is fast and so stressful.And the cost of living is always disaster everyday.
I'd slow down a bit on that motorcycle dude. I had a bad accident in Thailand and had to have surgery on my leg back in Taiwan where I was teaching at the time and had health insurance through my school. It cost me 500NT about 15 bucks. In the US it would have cost me 500 bucks or more All the best from Spain.
For someone as young as Aaron, the states is where to stack cash. I tried to retire at age 44 to Asia and bought a place, but I went back to work. Men need to be productive to be happy. Rented out my place and will be buying another one, and will retire at age 50 instead
@@Livingabroadalex Yup, that's right. Most of the foreigners I see in the Philippines are over the age of 60. Haven't seen too many young foreigners here. And I've been pretty much all over this country except Mindanao area!!!!! 👍🇺🇲🇵🇭
I'm not a retiree or a vlogger at all, in my 30s, and am saving up to move to the Philippines...so there are exceptions. I'm leaving because people in America try to use others too much, and they and many women are rude, arrogant, entitled, narcissistic and self-obsessed. And yes, everything being overpriced and also too much political obsession. It's a dystopian nightmare now and I can't wait to get the hell out of there. I'm planning on getting there next year or 2026. I want a happier quality of life.
@@JasonBrockwell25 PERFECTLY said. A normal good quality retirement now even is to move to the PI and live as expat. Social network and society in the USA is completely destroyed and no hope to recover or over come. We all can read the handwriting on the wall.
Interesting interview. The best fastest retirement source is US MILITARY 🪖 RETIREMENT. Next source is of course Social Security at age 62. I lived in the Philippines 🇵🇭 in 1991,I was age 28. Stationed at Clark Air Base (Angeles 😂City). Now age 61, widower and all my children are grown now. Next year in 2025, no later than end of the year. I want to return and retire there at age 62. Having a monthly stable income is a advantage in the Philippines 🇵🇭 👌. Like I suggested for a young man, earliest retirement income is military 🪖 retirement. Eventually I will utilize the American Military 🪖 Philippines sponsored SRRV program. Thank you and good luck to the young man 👨.
How do you know they are ?!? --- International Living just reported the 15 countries most Americans are moving to - and the Philippines wasn't mentioned ? Thailand & Malaysia was. Most were in Europe ! Certainly some are going to the Philippines but in much smaller numbers it would appear. -?- Mexico Panama Ecuador Colombia.........
I loved the Philippines until I went to Thailand he is correct. The English is good in the Philippines but that’s the only thing that is better Thailand beats it handsdown on everything else. 🤔

As professional Filipina, we choose professional guys our age. Those Filipinas who are dating older foreigners are mostly High school grad ,Non professional, Coming from a family which has difficulty meeting both ends meet. Because they believe that's the only way out from poverty.
@@japonesa207 OK I see, I was recently in Japan and met some Filipinas. Actually I met them in all Asian countries I went to lol. Is Japonesa the way its pronounced in Tagalog or do you know Spanish?
Hoy kahit high school graduate hindi lahat ganyan wag mo mamaliitin ang mga high school graduate lang dahil iba sa amin mga working hard din hind porket nakapagtapos ka ay may right ka ng maliitin kaming mga high school lang ang natapos pilipina ka pa naman sana ikaw yung tipo ng pilipina na sobrang taas ng pride sa sarili piling mo perfect ka na porket nakapagtapos ka
At anong pakialam mo kung magmahal sila ng mas may edad sa kanila pahero din yan meron din naman mga pilipina na may asawang pilipino na mas matanda sa kanila
I agree but it's good that Philippines doesn't allow foreigners to buy land, and there's not enough foreigners or buy condos compared to the number of Filipinos themselves. I would say it's the OFW who work abroad and send money home. Since there are millions of Filipino working abroad, compared to a few thousand foreigners who actually do buy condos and can't even buy land.
That is a common myth. There simply are not enough foreigners to vastly impact the rental market. Plus most of us expats are interested in more Western style housing, which is way out of the price range of the ordinary Filipino. Just more "blame the foreigner" going on.

Some ways yes some ways no
Foreigners love the phils. Ladies thats for sure other than that theres nothing.
The Philippines now is the undeclared 51state of the US. Even US military bases have moved to the Philippines 😂
Easy visa and the ladies.

Be careful interacting with this Chinese sleeper agent..
Its ok that you come here but you are destroying the markets for properties, rentals that ordinary Filipinos cannot afford those anymore.
