I think there is a lot of "overthinking" the whys, when's and how's a western man would come to the Philippines and get married. But I watched Tim cry at his wedding and I could tell that this was the thing. This was the reason and the need being fulfilled before me. A wife, a child, a family is what a man wants. It's what a man needs and he will go to the other side of the world to get it.
I met my wife in 1980 while in the navy we saw each other on and off for 2 years ,I was informed she was pregnant at the time I was trying to get back with my ex wife . I decided to step up and be a father and not a typical American over there as my wife's cousin had a guy did to her so I went there in 83 to get the ball rolling and celebrate my child 1 and a half years later they were here in the states. 2 sons later and 37 years of marriage I'd do it over again, my wife passed away 2 years ago she lost the battle with diabetes it has devastated the whole family and friends this 28th would have marked her 64th birthday we miss her very much everyday
Sorry for your loss but glad you at least had the opportunity of Knowing her for the time you did! God works in strange ways that we may not get until we pass but I truly believe those who we love will be waiting on us in heaven. I've been alone since my sons mom left me over 10yrs ago and recently lost mom and dad. Never felt so alone in my life. However I believe maybe it's for a reason that only God knows. I have tried some online dating but I suppose it's a lost cause living in a small town where all the good girls are already married. I have had zero success online.
Tim, you are a good and decent man! You made the right decision to marry Chrissy and raise your son together! I'm glad to subscribe to your blog. I'm from Missouri and I am now married to my Filipina and am currently living in Naval, Biliran
Good morning Tim, l appreciate your honesty. I'm a American who has been in the Philippines since l was 30 years old. I came here from California 21 year's. I totally agree with everything you are saying. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your subscribers.
I love these type of vlogs..I finally came back after the pandemic to live the dream house was built we got married everything great, then my dream ended when my wife died unexpectedly in February and now immigration are going to cancel my 13a probationary visa because the petitioner has died..my back up plan is to stay because there's nobody else to take care of her daughter, yes it would be so easy to jump on a plane and leave but thats running away from the problem and I don't run i will stay and fight for the visa
Tim, you have a lovely family. Glad you guys have come a long way as a family. Only thing that concerns me is you to often speak to Chrissy jokingly and put her down. She has grown and improve herself in a great way. But I seen she either ignores you or comes back to you with something good for her. Treat each other evenly. Jokes are good but in a nice way .
Low key I always thought the same thing. But I’ve gotten very close to Asian friends of mine and that’s kinda just how we speak to eachother. It may seem like a bad joke but we all joke around like that. It in ways gives us a closer bond. I do see what your saying though.
I have been subscribed and watching your whole journey since you met Harald Baldr and later my personal friend Wonderboy Jeremy. From Red Horse Tim to the clean, sober, getting-fit family-man Tim. It has been a great video journey so far. Keep it up. 40.4% of your subscribers watching is a lot better than my 9.5%. I get a lot fewer comments too. Well, I got to keep working on it.
Thx 🙏 Tim ! I’ve been watching for a while ! I finally took the ride to the Philippines and realized I’ll die alone here in the USA 🇺🇸 ! Maybe that makes me a loser ! But I found hope in the Philippines 🇵🇭 so I’m forming my escape plan as I write this ! Everyday is one step closer to the dream ! 😊
Many intelligent and inspiring comments. So many lost souls here the US; Filipinas will change many men lives for the better that i have seen; keep it up!
PROUD of You Tim, & Chrissy. Love the Channels, including Hanna & Alex’s. You have made amazing development within your person… It’s an individual process. IGNORE the 2% of TROLL’s. They & negative hurtful judgmental comments are trash. Remember “Garbage-in/Garbage-Out”! Flush their hateful & condescending comments from their Mom’s basement Out of your mind.

Dear Tim, thank you for being so candid and honest. It takes a lot to be an open book, really admire you for your courage to be so candid and real! You’re truly an amazing man. May God bless you, Chrissy and your beautiful child🙏🏻❤️Take good care and be well.
Chrissy is an amazing person, a great mother and you would have been a complete fool to abandon her!!!! Thank God everyday that you chose wisely!!!! And Dale is going to be highly intelligent, prepare to be amazed!!!!! YOU ARE SO LUCKY DUDE!!!! 🍀 LIVE THE DREAM!!!!!
I’m with you tim and I got the point. I’m a Filipino/American and left the U.S last year to head back home in the Philippines & guess what, now I’m back in the states. Yes, back in the states until I collect my social security and a small amount from profit sharing. I did crashed in the Philippines with no back up & decided to go back where I work for 27 years. Hope all is well for you and your family.🙏
I got one for you Tim. It was just like yesterday watching you cry at your Wedding 💒. Happiness happens in many ways. It has been great watching you and your new family grow in so many ways. Thank you and Chrissy for sharing your lives with us all. Have a great day.
Tim, I appreciate that the fact that you allowed me the privilege of watching your wedding, the birth of Dale, and the many adventures you have taken us on. What I have seen is you and Chrissy grow together and build a wonderful family. Your ex boss was right, and we have all witnessed just what a survivor you are ! Great video
There are very few vloggers who can capture that exact feeling, the magic of a place, in the same way Tim does. It feels just like being there and experiencing the moment. Well done!
Tim. The reason I come back and watch all your videos is not because Harald told me to but because of videos like this. It is unusual that youtubers let us into their lives, good and bad and your honesty and vulnerabilitet in videos like this make me feel like a part of your extended family, that's why I keep coming back Tim. So keep doing what you do, because it works for us that are fed up with the superficial world we live in, a world were profit is all that matters.. God bless you and your family. Love from Norway.
Bro the same thing happened to me..I was a player had 50 girlfriends all beautiful..but planning a rendevous I got a Filipina pregnant..we met stayed at a condo and she never left now its 6 yrs later we have two sneaker stores ..land we bought and in contract for a newly built condo..and our son has his US citizenship..but I also never thought of running away..and the main reason is much different from your experience and Im just going to be honest..I saw the treatment and the looks I know my black mixed child would receive in the Philippines ..and quadruple that if he was poor..thats just my experience..everyone has a story and thats mine..its working out fine..we will eventually move to the states but still have our business here and property..my son is definitely my blessing😊..and I would suggest really try to make it work..every relationship has complications or adversity or things you must overcome to succeed..mine was my playboy ways and the racial element..at least you are really conscious and speak about your relationship..if its worth fighting for then try your best for it to work..if not move on in a respectful way..
I think you are spot on with the $3,000 per month income. I made $2,400 a month and we barely made it month to month, and we had built our own home. We lived in Cebu, Bohol, Mindanao, and the last 3 years in my wife's hometown of Tacloban, Leyte. Dont listen to the stories of living in paradise for $800 a month. You will be sorely disappointed. Unless you are ok in a dirt floor hut, noair con, spotty electric at best, no running water most of the time, and ok just eating rice, with a side of rice, topped off with rice.
Tim, look at what you have: an adorable pretty young wife who is ambitious, an adorable little boy to enjoy and watch to grow into a man, a beautiful place to live. I think most of your subscribers are very jealous of what you have and would like to be in your place. I know I would. Don’t let your mind play tricks on you like mine has countless times. Best of luck.
So, a beautiful photo from May 15, 2019 with Herald the beginning to follow you too, you know I think it's fantastic to see your surroundings and it's nice that you let us enjoy the happiness you ended up in after your marriage to Chrissie and the beautiful Videos that let us enjoy all those places you've been Tim. Go ahead and let us enjoy ourselves. And please don't forget the beautiful surroundings where I will never come of my life Tim.
Hello Tim, this is just what I needed to hear. I too have had my rounds with my own emotional health. Thankfully I found the 12 steps program; it's not easy, but with faith I've started to realize that sometimes pain and suffering (when working in therapy) become blessings in disguise. Been there, not being able to keep steady jobs, anyway nowadays I am going one day at a time. God bless you.
Those AA meetings never work out for me. Last group I was going to basically told me to go to a different meeting somewhere else. There's a lot of AA snobs. Just my experience.
Agreeing with my norwegian neighbour @rekleif, i myself is starting right now to set myself up for a relocation to the phillippines in a few years ( early retirement ). as a Swede, im starting to be sick and tired of the cold....and my body isnt holding up for it, the cold is not agreeing with my joints, so for me, the relocation will be purely for my body to be happy again. i will make time to come by and have a coffee with you at some point ! be well buddy !
I will never say that no one likes you I know that I do. I see you as a young man with some confusion and some personal doubts but you always seem to pull ot out and do what is right. Good luck to you and your family
Thank you Tim for being real and transparent.. I value this in people whether it’s good bad or ugly.. you have an awesome family and a good heart.. God bless you sir!
Hey Brother been watching since you started in Central America, and as far as I am concerned you have accomplished, and conquered "THE REAL AMERICAN DREAM" ❤
i’ve read some of the comments & they all reflect how i feel too. i see you as a very lucky man despite your turbulent beginnings 4 years ago. Thanks for sharing something i was unaware of. your boss who said “your a survivor” truly paid you a real compliment. Love your gratitude for what you have in life & your pride in Chrissy. love your “philosophical” beach walks. and always showing us such beautiful scenery. had to laugh about the storage costs exceeding the value of your chattels. i would fall into that trap too.
It’s good to always have that little voice/ feeling that things may not go well. Always keep your guard up and be ready for anything. It will happen when you least expect it.
Tim, I wish you and your wife and son and the entire family that got bigger all the best. I wish for you that your life is filled with happiness and everything that you desire. Keep up the good work and believe in the magic you are and give! Cheers from NY. We love you bro!
A real man steps up and takes care of his responsibilities. In my 50’s I got my gf pregnant(we’re both from the US) and even though we aren’t together I support my son(to the tune of 3K a month) and am involved in his life. I was getting ready to retire, but instead got a second job and put off my retirement for almost 10 years. Now, I’m going to retire, but I put more than enough away for him and will make sure I am still involved in his life. Hats off brother you stepped up and did the right thing no matter how hard that road was and is. Since I’m new to your channel, I have no idea what type of man you used to be, but I can tell you that somewhere along the way you developed integrity and character and that is something no one can ever take away from you. Looking forward to watching your videos and you got a new subscriber.
Happy for you both Tim! Glad you made the decidion you did also...Certainily inspiriational. Keep these great videos coming...appreciate you. Thanks for all the great tips also. God bless, and wish you all the best!🙏
Doing the right thing is hard to come by theses days meany cut and run from situations they get into overseas. I subscribed and watch as you have owned your situation and got on with it sharing with us the the good and bad along the way congratulations on making it work for you and your family some times unexpected things happen in life for a reason and we end up a better person for it. Respect to you Tim.
Hi Tim, step by your channle and had the chance to go through some of the posts you had, and honestly this is one of the most sincerely made testament of a true to the heart feelings from a man … it is a real inspiration for others who had the same journey as you had gone through… I’m now a new subs to your channel and will wait for your posts going forward… 😊
good job man. I seldom watch a youtub all the way thru. your honest approach to explaining good and bad feels as if I was talking to a friend, not a content creator. Wish you the best.
Tim you got me on the title, i thought its another new girl, but that is your destiny, anyway i got little concern until you start talking. i really like your story Tim and Chrissy
Great video with great throw back photo’s. Take care of yourself first and foremost. You need to be healthy mentally and physically to keep that wonderful family and life prospering.
Tim, It would never be my place or anyone elses to criticize what you've done in the past or what you're doing in the present. I don't know all your life experiences and the things you went through in the military and beyond. I can tell you from what I see on your channel, you are a good person. You are trying to do the right thing on a daily basis. None of us succeeds at that anywhere near a 100% of the time. All you can do is try. Personally I think you struck gold with Chrissy and her family. As far as people commenting on your weight and dieting, sure we all should be doing better at that and you are working on it. I'm sure you're going to continue to do that. We both have been in the military and there is a mindset that we employ to accomplish our mission, even when it seems impossible, but of course, we're also human. Keep going, I'm gonna keep watching. I enjoy the things you do and the places you go.
Yes Tim I remember seeing your storage unit😁. That’s how long I have been subscribed. You have a beautiful family and congratulations to you & Chrissy & Dale for being together. Great job with always giving raw video. Have a wonderful life🌟👍🏻 You have a better life than most who are experiencing stress daily and working hard. Your life is like a vacation everyday🌻👏🏻💐
It's amazing the transition you've gone through and obviously you have made an incredible little person that is totally Dependent on you and learning from you as well , Chrissy is the same way the same way you are all together making your way so good job man
Tim, Angelica and I have been subscribed since 2020 I believe, found you during Covid lockdown. We too have loved watching the two of you, and because my Filipina wife can see how good your relationship is, we've never fallen for your fake thumbnails.... 🤣, she hears Chrissy every time she says Timoy, and knows its a term of love and endearment. I'm counting the days until we retire there from Alberta Canada. We love you and will always watch you guys❤
Average doctor salary is 55k pesos a month in the Philippines so that's about 1k usd .. 3,000 usd is 3 doctors salary , just saying to anyone wanting to come to the Philippines , 3000 usd a month is a lot of pesos . I get just over 3k retirement but only need half of it to live good in Solano Nueva Vizcaya Philippines .my house is paid for here , Power bill around 5k pesos about 100 usd , internet 1200 pesos about 23 bucks , water is 300 pesos ,about 5 usd . I hope this information helps you .
I've been following you since you popped up on one of Harold's vlogs then, it was cool to see your own channel appear out of no where ⚡ 👍 💪 ... I always love to see the awesome vegetation in your episodes 👀
I made my first trip to Thailand in January 2019 with no plan, other than a hotel room reserved for the first 3 nights in Bangkok. Fast forward 4 years and I'm married to the Thai lady I met the very first day in Thailand. She's here with me in the USA now and we are looking forward to retirement in Thailand. Sometimes no plans turns into something wonderful.
Very few have a retirement income of $3000.00 a month here in the States. That's why they look to other places to live. Look at Hawaii and stateside. Folks work all day and call home a car or minivan. Thank you for the heartfelt video. You're doing a great job. Keep working hard for us.
I would agree with your assessment of $2.5 - 3k/month and at least $20k in the bank, even though other Vloggers are preaching the $1k/month life - which is a bare existence, and if something goes wrong, you are screwed. Also, the Philippines, because of the saturation of Vloggers portraying the Philippines as a relative paradise, is quickly becoming much more expensive. No place is a paradise when you are struggling without support. Honest advice. Well spoken.
Thank you for the heart to heart talk, this is one of your finer moments and I think it’s why you are so popular with so many people because you let us know that you are just like us, and we can relate to that. Thank you, Tim.
The reason I follow you is this. 3 years before I moved to the Philippines I was a homeless disabled combat vet fighting VA (took 16 years 3 months 1 day). When I got my 100% permanent &total va disability I took the backpay and payed off all my depts. Then got the back surgerys I needed. Spent 6 months relearning how to walk while doing research on were I wanted to live. My sister in-law (a Philippina) also lived on the family farm that I was staying at during my recovery (I didn't have to be homeless but would not leave my daughter until she was old enough to understand why I had to move on). She actually in a round about way introduced me to my wife. Basically my sister in-laws Mom was friends with my wife's Mom and knew the whole family. I got here close to the same time as you, and have not gone back. We have a 2 year old son, that looks just like me, and are building our home, just breaking ground last week. It takes time, enjoy the adventure of life.
Tim, your boss said it perfectly, and you figured it out!" Look what you've accomplished! It's worked out...because you put the effort in and you worked at it! So now don't let anyone or anything take it from you! Best regards, my friend! Brian M. Mesa, AZ.
Tim, you are a good man. You have a wonderful wife and a good life there in the Philippines. I envy you in many ways. I'm also a retired Iraqi Freedom Veteran after 33 years of service in the Army and Air National Guard. I have a dream of living the expat life. I just turning 60 and my health is not as good as it was 40 years ago. Your youtube channel and blog look like they are bring you some success to have a life there. I have enjoyed watching your adventures over the past years. Take good care of Chrisy and Dale.
Don't call yourself a *Veteran* Iraqi, Afghanistan hardly a War, no vicious fighting, just you bombing innocent people... Try compare yourself to WW2 veterans... That's a fucking war where you could label yourself veteran.. Muppet.. 😂 *Crap Game* 🎉
Hi Tim. On this this episode, your former employer was right. You see, you just cultivating your first new chapter of your life. May I congratulate you and your family now. However, sharing your wisdoms can be of great help to those who are having future plans to visit PH. Great job body. Keep it up. Regards.
Tim, as ever your video style is: tell it like it is. I really appreciate you opening your heart and telling us your truths. I am always inspired by your down to earth narrative - you deserve all the good things that come your way. This is because you have the right intent. Keep inspiring us with all that gou do!
My experience in life is that things very rarely go accordingly as planned. I would have gotten rid of that storage locker rather quickly myself for the very reason you mentioned.
Love your videos. Love philosophical Tim. We are all human mate and we all have our struggles. But I see how far you and Chrissy have come as a couple. You’ve come far mate and it’s great to have someone standing along side you on your journey!
God blessed you and your family Tim . Thnxs for all the heads up I’ll be retiring soon . Thinking of going back home in Leyte. Lots of things go thru my mind this and that .
Im in nearly the exact same boat as you were when u started. We just found out my Filipina is pregnant. Have a huge age gap and a wimpy vlog that keeps me semi active in a slow paced environment. I moved here with no plan and now shes pregnant and I'm actually excited for the future although there are a lotta unknowns. Listen man i can only hope things turn out the way things did for you. You should be proud of what you made for your life ❤
Tim, I have been watching your channel in silence for a while now. and just Subbed. I can't help but think how beautiful a paradise that is as you walked that path to the beach. Good on you for doing the right thing for Chrissy and your son. I am kicking around the idea of visiting the islands in the future,. I would love to find a nice girl and no games.
Tim I'm a subscriber for a few years, I don't know why people can't hit the sub... button? I notice your skin is all flared up and you haven't reached the weight loss goals you set a wile back, I just stated carnivore diet a little over a week ago and think it's the way to go, I was keto for over 4 years then gave it up because funny enough I found it was to restrictive and now I'm practicing a diet that is more restrictive LOL, but I don't get the cravings like I did on Keto and many improvements, eating whatever I wanted wasn't working so I'm trying this, it raises testosterone, balances hormones, drops weight rather quickly if you have a lot to lose, I think it might be a way to go, food for thought, if you tried it you could share your journey and get more viewers and hopefully inspire many others to live happier healthy lives. Thanks for wearing your hart on your sleeve, you are good at it, people can say what they want but you are an honest guy working your way through lifes trial and tribulations, God bless you and little Chrissy and Dale, she is a sweetheart, cheers from Canada bud !
Tim... I love how you keep it real my friend. Your openness and honesty has inspired me to do things in my life that I never thought I would do. I've been talkin to a Filipino lady for 3 years now and a few months ago to take my first trip to the Philippines. I'm working hard to bring her here now and praying that God will work it out. She is such a loving and beautiful person. I'm 50 years old but it's never too late to start over. Keep doing what you're doing my friend.
Thanks for your honesty,and I think it shows real character not to abandoned such a sweet and beautiful young lady..I have read some nasty comments in other forums about you due to you taking advantage of her Innocence..I actually see the opposite I see a young woman who has grown by leaps,and bounds due to your support and guidance..There are alot of young men that look at you as their role model and I am so happy that you have spoken up and told them not to just jump and move to make sure you have a plan,and I hope that your advice doesn't fall of deaf ears ..Take care 😊
@@judyholiday1794 thanks for the kind words. I have a lot of things said about me every day. As long as those close to you understand you and are strong in your relationship, what is said along the edges doesn’t matter.
hi from norway i have seen many of your videos but i have never left a comment on your videos æ. then I will do it now. I'm proud of you and I see you talk about your daughter and wife and I notice everything you say you speak with emotion. not many people see it. notice that. but I notice it. you are a very good man.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tim. I planned to retire this year in the Philippines with about a third of the income you were suggesting. I really thought that would be enough. It didn't work out, so, I'm still here in Texas running the daily grind, the rat race if you will. The deal killer was Obama Care, it would cost me about $800.00 a month, which is a sizable chunk of my retirement. Sadly, I had to postpone my retirement till I qualify for Medicare at 65. That's what happens when you plan, the plan does not happen. When you don't plan, that's when things happen, as your former Boss rightly said "You'll figure it out".
I think there is a lot of "overthinking" the whys, when's and how's a western man would come to the Philippines and get married. But I watched Tim cry at his wedding and I could tell that this was the thing. This was the reason and the need being fulfilled before me. A wife, a child, a family is what a man wants. It's what a man needs and he will go to the other side of the world to get it.
I met my wife in 1980 while in the navy we saw each other on and off for 2 years ,I was informed she was pregnant at the time I was trying to get back with my ex wife . I decided to step up and be a father and not a typical American over there as my wife's cousin had a guy did to her so I went there in 83 to get the ball rolling and celebrate my child 1 and a half years later they were here in the states. 2 sons later and 37 years of marriage I'd do it over again, my wife passed away 2 years ago she lost the battle with diabetes it has devastated the whole family and friends this 28th would have marked her 64th birthday we miss her very much everyday
Sorry for your loss but glad you at least had the opportunity of Knowing her for the time you did! God works in strange ways that we may not get until we pass but I truly believe those who we love will be waiting on us in heaven. I've been alone since my sons mom left me over 10yrs ago and recently lost mom and dad. Never felt so alone in my life. However I believe maybe it's for a reason that only God knows. I have tried some online dating but I suppose it's a lost cause living in a small town where all the good girls are already married. I have had zero success online.
So sorry to hear that
I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for your service brother
That's a beautiful story
❤😢
Tim, you are a good and decent man! You made the right decision to marry Chrissy and raise your son together! I'm glad to subscribe to your blog. I'm from Missouri and I am now married to my Filipina and am currently living in Naval, Biliran
right decision old man pnay is the best wife you will live long with her romance. someday i will retire in cebu.

Hang in there Tim , good things happen to good people.
You and Chrissy have made a wonderful new life together -- and we're proud of both of you.
Tim, you have a lovely family. Glad you guys have
come a long way as a
family. Only thing that concerns me is you to often speak to Chrissy jokingly and put her down. She has grown and improve herself in a great way. But I seen she either ignores you or comes back to you with something good for her. Treat each other evenly. Jokes are good but in a nice way .
Thankss for bringing Up..
Low key I always thought the same thing. But I’ve gotten very close to Asian friends of mine and that’s kinda just how we speak to eachother. It may seem like a bad joke but we all joke around like that. It in ways gives us a closer bond. I do see what your saying though.
Hey Tim, I’m one of those people that are subscribed. I enjoy your videos and watching you and your beautiful family grow. God bless
Thanks for your support

Chrissy is an amazing person, a great mother and you would have been a complete fool to abandon her!!!! Thank God everyday that you chose wisely!!!! And Dale is going to be highly intelligent, prepare to be amazed!!!!!

Been watching since Harald's visit. You've come a long way since the Red Horse days :D Way to go.
I’m with you tim and I got the point. I’m a Filipino/American and left the U.S last year to head back home in the Philippines & guess what, now I’m back in the states. Yes, back in the states until I collect my social security and a small amount from profit sharing. I did crashed in the Philippines with no back up & decided to go back where I work for 27 years. Hope all is well for you and your family.🙏
I got one for you Tim. It was just like yesterday watching you cry at your Wedding 💒. Happiness happens in many ways. It has been great watching you and your new family grow in so many ways. Thank you and Chrissy for sharing your lives with us all. Have a great day.
I hope you’re doing well in Cally. Take care Tim
Tim, I appreciate that the fact that you allowed me the privilege of watching your wedding, the birth of Dale, and the many adventures you have taken us on.

Thanks Lisa for your support over the years.
Tim would you consider reposting your wedding and Dale's birth videos up again? I was sad I was unable to watch them. Cheers Tim
@@limtseho3540 Tim has this thing called a youtube channel . Tim has videos on his channel.
@Gen X what's your point? I asked Tim K because he took them down about a year ago and was hoping he would repost.
There are very few vloggers who can capture that exact feeling, the magic of a place, in the same way Tim does. It feels just like being there and experiencing the moment. Well done!
Are you Zoroastrian/ Parsee? I ask because of the Farohar Logo:). Im a Parsee from Karachi:)
The average net salary in the Philippins is around 250-300 $ a month, so having 3000 $ a month would make you a very richer man there.
Tim. The reason I come back and watch all your videos is not because Harald told me to but because of videos like this. It is unusual that youtubers let us into their lives, good and bad and your honesty and vulnerabilitet in videos like this make me feel like a part of your extended family, that's why I keep coming back Tim. So keep doing what you do, because it works for us that are fed up with the superficial world we live in, a world were profit is all that matters.. God bless you and your family. Love from Norway.
And your ex-boss was right Tim. You did figure it out. God's word says "my grace is sufficient for you", hold on to that Tim.
I only watch his videos because of Harald Baldr
is he single?
You're making it work.
You've made a wonderful life for yourself.
Thanks for sharing and for the words of wisdom.
Bro the same thing happened to me..I was a player had 50 girlfriends all beautiful..but planning a rendevous I got a Filipina pregnant..we met stayed at a condo and she never left now its 6 yrs later we have two sneaker stores ..land we bought and in contract for a newly built condo..and our son has his US citizenship..but I also never thought of running away..and the main reason is much different from your experience and Im just going to be honest..I saw the treatment and the looks I know my black mixed child would receive in the Philippines ..and quadruple that if he was poor..thats just my experience..everyone has a story and thats mine..its working out fine..we will eventually move to the states but still have our business here and property..my son is definitely my blessing😊..and I would suggest really try to make it work..every relationship has complications or adversity or things you must overcome to succeed..mine was my playboy ways and the racial element..at least you are really conscious and speak about your relationship..if its worth fighting for then try your best for it to work..if not move on in a respectful way..
I think you are spot on with the $3,000 per month income. I made $2,400 a month and we barely made it month to month, and we had built our own home. We lived in Cebu, Bohol, Mindanao, and the last 3 years in my wife's hometown of Tacloban, Leyte. Dont listen to the stories of living in paradise for $800 a month. You will be sorely disappointed. Unless you are ok in a dirt floor hut, noair con, spotty electric at best, no running water most of the time, and ok just eating rice, with a side of rice, topped off with rice.
When you do what is right Tim , God will bless you !
Thanks for sharing your story Tim, and being real about it!
Ive watched you off and on over the years. It's pretty clear you've grown and developed as a person. All the best mate.
Tim, look at what you have: an adorable pretty young wife who is ambitious, an adorable little boy to enjoy and watch to grow into a man, a beautiful place to live.
I think most of your subscribers are very jealous of what you have and would like to be in your place. I know I would.
Don’t let your mind play tricks on you like mine has countless times.
Best of luck.
So, a beautiful photo from May 15, 2019 with Herald the beginning to follow you too, you know I think it's fantastic to see your surroundings and it's nice that you let us enjoy the happiness you ended up in after your marriage to Chrissie and the beautiful Videos that let us enjoy all those places you've been Tim. Go ahead and let us enjoy ourselves. And please don't forget the beautiful surroundings where I will never come of my life Tim.
Hello Tim, this is just what I needed to hear. I too have had my rounds with my own emotional health. Thankfully I found the 12 steps program; it's not easy, but with faith I've started to realize that sometimes pain and suffering (when working in therapy) become blessings in disguise. Been there, not being able to keep steady jobs, anyway nowadays I am going one day at a time. God bless you.
Those AA meetings never work out for me. Last group I was going to basically told me to go to a different meeting somewhere else. There's a lot of AA snobs. Just my experience.
@@petephelan969 the program works if you work with the program. No one is going to fix you other than yourself; hence the term "self-help"
You were blessed. Glad you did the right thing, Chrissy is awesome! You are a natural for UA-cam too! Soon Chrissy will be ready to do pull-ups!
Agreeing with my norwegian neighbour @rekleif, i myself is starting right now to set myself up for a relocation to the phillippines in a few years ( early retirement ). as a Swede, im starting to be sick and tired of the cold....and my body isnt holding up for it, the cold is not agreeing with my joints, so for me, the relocation will be purely for my body to be happy again. i will make time to come by and have a coffee with you at some point ! be well buddy !
I will never say that no one likes you I know that I do. I see you as a young man with some confusion and some personal doubts but you always seem to pull ot out and do what is right. Good luck to you and your family
Thank you Tim for being real and transparent.. I value this in people whether it’s good bad or ugly.. you have an awesome family and a good heart.. God bless you sir!
Hey Brother been watching since you started in Central America, and as far as I am concerned you have accomplished, and conquered "THE REAL AMERICAN DREAM" ❤
Wish you all the best Tim let’s get the UA-cam channel to 300k by the end of this year thanks for uploading keep it up !
Great video Tim. We like you, we can tell you are a good person.
i’ve read some of the comments & they all reflect how i feel too. i see you as a very lucky man despite your turbulent beginnings 4 years ago. Thanks for sharing something i was unaware of. your boss who said “your a survivor” truly paid you a real compliment. Love your gratitude for what you have in life & your pride in Chrissy. love your “philosophical” beach walks. and always showing us such beautiful scenery. had to laugh about the storage costs exceeding the value of your chattels. i would fall into that trap too.
It’s good to always have that little voice/ feeling that things may not go well. Always keep your guard up and be ready for anything. It will happen when you least expect it.
Tim, you're a good, honest man. Cheers.
Thanks for your honesty and candidness. God has blessed you with a beautiful family. I hope to one day find the same as well.
Tim, I wish you and your wife and son and the entire family that got bigger all the best. I wish for you that your life is filled with happiness and everything that you desire. Keep up the good work and believe in the magic you are and give! Cheers from NY. We love you bro!
A real man steps up and takes care of his responsibilities. In my 50’s I got my gf pregnant(we’re both from the US) and even though we aren’t together I support my son(to the tune of 3K a month) and am involved in his life. I was getting ready to retire, but instead got a second job and put off my retirement for almost 10 years. Now, I’m going to retire, but I put more than enough away for him and will make sure I am still involved in his life. Hats off brother you stepped up and did the right thing no matter how hard that road was and is. Since I’m new to your channel, I have no idea what type of man you used to be, but I can tell you that somewhere along the way you developed integrity and character and that is something no one can ever take away from you. Looking forward to watching your videos and you got a new subscriber.
You have a good spirit after all very responsible person. Hope God bless your family as you started with your wife and cute son.
Happy for you both Tim! Glad you made the decidion you did also...Certainily inspiriational. Keep these great videos coming...appreciate you. Thanks for all the great tips also. God bless, and wish you all the best!🙏
Doing the right thing is hard to come by theses days meany cut and run from situations they get into overseas. I subscribed and watch as you have owned your situation and got on with it sharing with us the the good and bad along the way congratulations on making it work for you and your family some times unexpected things happen in life for a reason and we end up a better person for it. Respect to you Tim.
The title got me. You are a real man. You did not ran away from your responsibilities. Beautiful place.
Hi Tim, step by your channle and had the chance to go through some of the posts you had, and honestly this is one of the most sincerely made testament of a true to the heart feelings from a man … it is a real inspiration for others who had the same journey as you had gone through… I’m now a new subs to your channel and will wait for your posts going forward… 😊
Welcome aboard!
good job man. I seldom watch a youtub all the way thru. your honest approach to explaining good and bad feels as if I was talking to a friend, not a content creator. Wish you the best.
Tim, I'm wishing you the best. I'm at the time to make changes also. Thank for letting me come with on your journey.
I don’t know if I like you more than that dog, but I do like you. Keep up the great work I love the places you go to. Survivors unite!
Tim! I'm always amazed on how you're content captures my attentions. I'm more amazed on how you express your wise deep thoughts.
Been watching you since the beginning. You’ve come a long way both emotionally and physically. Really nice to see.
Happy to see you both grow. Can't wait to see how much you achieve next ! You're indeed a survivr. They're called survivors for a reason, grit !
Tim you got me on the title, i thought its another new girl, but that is your destiny, anyway i got little concern until you start talking. i really like your story Tim and Chrissy
Keep it up man!!! your an inspiration to a lot of us!!!
I believe that both of you love each other. You are very patient and really immersed yourself in Filipino culture.
Great video with great throw back photo’s. Take care of yourself first and foremost. You need to be healthy mentally and physically to keep that wonderful family and life prospering.
Tim, It would never be my place or anyone elses to criticize what you've done in the past or what you're doing in the present. I don't know all your life experiences and the things you went through in the military and beyond. I can tell you from what I see on your channel, you are a good person. You are trying to do the right thing on a daily basis. None of us succeeds at that anywhere near a 100% of the time. All you can do is try. Personally I think you struck gold with Chrissy and her family. As far as people commenting on your weight and dieting, sure we all should be doing better at that and you are working on it. I'm sure you're going to continue to do that. We both have been in the military and there is a mindset that we employ to accomplish our mission, even when it seems impossible, but of course, we're also human. Keep going, I'm gonna keep watching. I enjoy the things you do and the places you go.
My name is James.
great advice and video tim. hope dale and chrissy are well.. god bless from nyc..
Tim, I’m so glad that you are doing much better in life. Truly proud of you & Chrissy.
Yes Tim I remember seeing your storage unit😁. That’s how long I have been subscribed. You have a beautiful family and congratulations to you & Chrissy & Dale for being together. Great job with always giving raw video. Have a wonderful life🌟👍🏻 You have a better life than most who are experiencing stress daily and working hard. Your life is like a vacation everyday🌻👏🏻💐
It's amazing the transition you've gone through and obviously you have made an incredible little person that is totally Dependent on you and learning from you as well , Chrissy is the same way the same way you are all together making your way so good job man
Tim, Angelica and I have been subscribed since 2020 I believe, found you during Covid lockdown. We too have loved watching the two of you, and because my Filipina wife can see how good your relationship is, we've never fallen for your fake thumbnails.... 🤣, she hears Chrissy every time she says Timoy, and knows its a term of love and endearment. I'm counting the days until we retire there from Alberta Canada. We love you and will always watch you guys❤
Married couple are gonna be long relationships as long as you put (God) in the middle ..God bless to both of you..🙏
Average doctor salary is 55k pesos a month in the Philippines so that's about 1k usd .. 3,000 usd is 3 doctors salary , just saying to anyone wanting to come to the Philippines , 3000 usd a month is a lot of pesos . I get just over 3k retirement but only need half of it to live good in Solano Nueva Vizcaya Philippines .my house is paid for here , Power bill around 5k pesos about 100 usd , internet 1200 pesos about 23 bucks , water is 300 pesos ,about 5 usd . I hope this information helps you .
I've been following you since you popped up on one of Harold's vlogs then, it was cool to see your own channel appear out of no where ⚡ 👍 💪 ... I always love to see the awesome vegetation in your episodes 👀
Harold is a trip. Unique character. He gave you good advice
I became a subscriber when Harold had you on his channel. COVID was so exciting and your wonderful family. Glad to see you
Living well here in the States with my bride after many years. Haven't been there since 1997.
Great decision Tim on staying with Chrissy you have a prize with Dale . GOD BLESS
Tim 40% of your viewers being subscribers is actually pretty good. Many other UA-camrs are down to 10%.
Inspiring man. One of your best uploads.
I made my first trip to Thailand in January 2019 with no plan, other than a hotel room reserved for the first 3 nights in Bangkok. Fast forward 4 years and I'm married to the Thai lady I met the very first day in Thailand. She's here with me in the USA now and we are looking forward to retirement in Thailand. Sometimes no plans turns into something wonderful.
Very few have a retirement income of $3000.00 a month here in the States.
That's why they look to other places to live.
Look at Hawaii and stateside. Folks work all day and call home a car or minivan.
Thank you for the heartfelt video.
You're doing a great job.
Keep working hard for us.
I would agree with your assessment of $2.5 - 3k/month and at least $20k in the bank, even though other Vloggers are preaching the $1k/month life - which is a bare existence, and if something goes wrong, you are screwed. Also, the Philippines, because of the saturation of Vloggers portraying the Philippines as a relative paradise, is quickly becoming much more expensive. No place is a paradise when you are struggling without support. Honest advice. Well spoken.
Thank you for the heart to heart talk, this is one of your finer moments and I think it’s why you are so popular with so many people because you let us know that you are just like us, and we can relate to that. Thank you, Tim.
The reason I follow you is this. 3 years before I moved to the Philippines I was a homeless disabled combat vet fighting VA (took 16 years 3 months 1 day). When I got my 100% permanent &total va disability I took the backpay and payed off all my depts. Then got the back surgerys I needed. Spent 6 months relearning how to walk while doing research on were I wanted to live. My sister in-law (a Philippina) also lived on the family farm that I was staying at during my recovery (I didn't have to be homeless but would not leave my daughter until she was old enough to understand why I had to move on). She actually in a round about way introduced me to my wife. Basically my sister in-laws Mom was friends with my wife's Mom and knew the whole family. I got here close to the same time as you, and have not gone back. We have a 2 year old son, that looks just like me, and are building our home, just breaking ground last week. It takes time, enjoy the adventure of life.
You are a good honest man Tim all the respect 😊
Tim, your boss said it perfectly,
and you figured it out!" Look what you've accomplished! It's worked out...because you put the effort in and you worked at it! So now don't let anyone or anything take it from you!
Best regards, my friend!
Brian M.
Mesa, AZ.
You're a good man, Tim. Good husband to Chrissy and good Dad to Dale.
Tim, you are a good man. You have a wonderful wife and a good life there in the Philippines. I envy you in many ways. I'm also a retired Iraqi Freedom Veteran after 33 years of service in the Army and Air National Guard. I have a dream of living the expat life. I just turning 60 and my health is not as good as it was 40 years ago. Your youtube channel and blog look like they are bring you some success to have a life there. I have enjoyed watching your adventures over the past years. Take good care of Chrisy and Dale.
Don't call yourself a *Veteran* Iraqi, Afghanistan hardly a War, no vicious fighting, just you bombing innocent people... Try compare yourself to WW2 veterans... That's a fucking war where you could label yourself veteran.. Muppet.. 😂
*Crap Game* 🎉
Hi Tim. On this this episode, your former employer was right. You see, you just cultivating your first new chapter of your life. May I congratulate you and your family now. However, sharing your wisdoms can be of great help to those who are having future plans to visit PH. Great job body. Keep it up. Regards.
Thank you Sir.
Tim, as ever your video style is: tell it like it is.
I really appreciate you opening your heart and telling us your truths. I am always inspired by your down to earth narrative - you deserve all the good things that come your way. This is because you have the right intent. Keep inspiring us with all that gou do!
Awsome videos. U make me happy. Wish I had a better income I'd come to the Philippines. Keep living the good life. Thanks tim
I hope this donation helped you out
My experience in life is that things very rarely go accordingly as planned. I would have gotten rid of that storage locker rather quickly myself for the very reason you mentioned.
Love your videos. Love philosophical Tim. We are all human mate and we all have our struggles.
But I see how far you and Chrissy have come as a couple. You’ve come far mate and it’s great to have someone standing along side you on your journey!
Towards future endeavours tim! Goodspeed and goodluck m8
God blessed you and your family Tim . Thnxs for all the heads up I’ll be retiring soon . Thinking of going back home in Leyte. Lots of things go thru my mind this and that .
Im in nearly the exact same boat as you were when u started.
We just found out my Filipina is pregnant. Have a huge age gap and a wimpy vlog that keeps me semi active in a slow paced environment.
I moved here with no plan and now shes pregnant and I'm actually excited for the future although there are a lotta unknowns.
Listen man i can only hope things turn out the way things did for you.
You should be proud of what you made for your life ❤
Tim you are doing great.
The best is yet to come.
You are both killing it. Keep up the great work 👍
Tim, I have been watching your channel in silence for a while now.
and just Subbed.
I can't help but think how beautiful a paradise that is as you walked that path to the beach.
Good on you for doing the right thing for Chrissy and your son.
I am kicking around the idea of visiting the islands in the future,.
I would love to find a nice girl and no games.
Tim I'm a subscriber for a few years, I don't know why people can't hit the sub... button? I notice your skin is all flared up and you haven't reached the weight loss goals you set a wile back, I just stated carnivore diet a little over a week ago and think it's the way to go, I was keto for over 4 years then gave it up because funny enough I found it was to restrictive and now I'm practicing a diet that is more restrictive LOL, but I don't get the cravings like I did on Keto and many improvements, eating whatever I wanted wasn't working so I'm trying this, it raises testosterone, balances hormones, drops weight rather quickly if you have a lot to lose, I think it might be a way to go, food for thought, if you tried it you could share your journey and get more viewers and hopefully inspire many others to live happier healthy lives. Thanks for wearing your hart on your sleeve, you are good at it, people can say what they want but you are an honest guy working your way through lifes trial and tribulations, God bless you and little Chrissy and Dale, she is a sweetheart, cheers from Canada bud !
Tim... I love how you keep it real my friend. Your openness and honesty has inspired me to do things in my life that I never thought I would do. I've been talkin to a Filipino lady for 3 years now and a few months ago to take my first trip to the Philippines. I'm working hard to bring her here now and praying that God will work it out. She is such a loving and beautiful person. I'm 50 years old but it's never too late to start over. Keep doing what you're doing my friend.
Thanks for your honesty,and I think it shows real character not to abandoned such a sweet and beautiful young lady..I have read some nasty comments in other forums about you due to you taking advantage of her Innocence..I actually see the opposite I see a young woman who has grown by leaps,and bounds due to your support and guidance..There are alot of young men that look at you as their role model and I am so happy that you have spoken up and told them not to just jump and move to make sure you have a plan,and I hope that your advice doesn't fall of deaf ears ..Take care 😊
Thanks for sharing Randy. You create the life you want for yourself over time.
@@judyholiday1794 thanks for the kind words. I have a lot of things said about me every day. As long as those close to you understand you and are strong in your relationship, what is said along the edges doesn’t matter.
hi from norway i have seen many of your videos but i have never left a comment on your videos æ. then I will do it now. I'm proud of you and I see you talk about your daughter and wife and I notice everything you say you speak with emotion. not many people see it. notice that. but I notice it. you are a very good man.
God bless you and your family Tim !
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tim. I planned to retire this year in the Philippines with about a third of the income you were suggesting. I really thought that would be enough. It didn't work out, so, I'm still here in Texas running the daily grind, the rat race if you will. The deal killer was Obama Care, it would cost me about $800.00 a month, which is a sizable chunk of my retirement. Sadly, I had to postpone my retirement till I qualify for Medicare at 65. That's what happens when you plan, the plan does not happen. When you don't plan, that's when things happen, as your former Boss rightly said "You'll figure it out".
