    First year of retirement in the Philippines full time



    This video documents in short order my 1st year of retirement here in the Philippines. It has been fun and a challenge at times. I am living a simple life mainly under $700 a month. My life revolves around my relationship with my wife as we discover each others culture. Of course it is mostly thru my tales of living in USA, and her culture I get to experience first hand. Thnak you for watching

      I think you can still do your hobby a stone polishing and can sell the jewelres as an extra income as well…In the river loads of stone you can find there since we have loads of volcano I bet loads of precious stone as well probably…

      New subscriber here. I was surprised you left everything you had and went way out of your comfort zone to live in a new country. But then later on in the video I found the reason why. πŸ™‚ She is a beauty and congratulations! Ahhh the things we do for love.

      Mate I have same intentions hopefully by end 2027 if I'm still alive πŸ™‚ . I come there every year. Just one thing I won't be doing that you've done that is opening a business. I wont retire from work just to go to work again, but everyone to his own. I'm glad for you and wish you well.

      Hello sir
      Just wondering. If you're retired then why get married and start family n business? I thought when a person retires , you minimize responsibility. But now your life is going to be that of a young man. Sorry sir no disrespect but seems suspicious for me. It's really a mind scrambler to see the actions of many men

      Nice episodes of your life Bro, welcome to the Philippines and enjoy the rest of your life with your wife in a paradise country. Your pension is more than enough to pay daily need within the family circle, good luck…

      Cant wait to get there myself. Retirement age is still 8 years away but looking at possibilities where i can support myself if I do decide to pull the trigger. Tired of West Texas life and longing for the easy, laid back life in the islands. Happy for you and the life that you chose. Beautiful wife by the way.

      Did I hear you say retirement came up a little bit short?…For two people living in an island provence in the Philippines on an American's retirement?

      It's not written in the book, but if you want to experience the fullest potential of living in the Philippines, you have to maintain your shape. Exercise everyday, cuz Philippines and its 7641 islands has more to offer.
