Why are you bothering this guy, that’s none of your business, let the guy enjoy himself

[@RudyG-c3u]

I recently returned from a 21 day Cebu City PH. trip and my budget was about $3000 including airfare. I spent about $2800 plus change. That was for hotel, food, transportation, some clothes, laundry, travel agency to arrange my sight seeing trips, two tour guides to show me around the city and I could call them up really any time for information and a little advice on good food places, places to go and see etc. I had the time of my life, and I met 3 very nice and beautiful ladies that I took out to dinner, to coffee and conversation etc. etc. I may or may not ever return to the Philippines but the memories of my trip there to me are priceless! I am 71 years old and widowed for over ten years. .Rudy G. Texas.

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

'Two week' millionaires can appear to be sad on first reflection, but who cares? If a guy wants fun in his later years, what is the problem? He's paying the girls so it's just a business transaction. Providing there is no abuse from either side no one loses. I am a genuine millionaire, with property, income and business interests in the Philippines. I am in my 50's and happily domiciled with my family but I'm not going to knock anyone for seeking a bit of enjoyment. My missus is around the same age as I am. We met in HK and have kids together, plus a couple of adoptees. We came to the Philippines for an easy life. I know men in relationships with much younger women but, as I said before, who cares? Any relationship is transactional. If there is no exploitation it is nobody else's business except for the parties involved.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Thanks for sharing

[@RickyFuller-wq6os]

And if your married you end up paying the lady when you get divorced

[@WhiskersAndWords]

I spend 10k usd per month for a pretty basic life in Seattle. In did the same thing as Andrew when I went to Manila, stayed with a beautiful women in a five star hotel in bgc (top rated five star hotel in bgc) I spent about $650 usd per day (including hotel, not including air) and I had hands down the best time of my life , I don’t care that I paid 1000 pesos for a 10 minute cab ride. I don’t care that when I went out to dinner at a nice steakhouse I paid 15,000 pesos for dinner for two but I do care about is the fact that I was treated with respect I had a lot of fun, and I made amazing memories. The biggest difference between me and Andrew is the fact that I am blessed to be able to do this in my early 40s and he had to wait until he’s almost 80 If you have the financial resources to be able to travel like this and have it not be a burden on your life I strongly recommend it because the memories you will make far outweigh the cost.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

you will have great memories and thank you for sharing

[@GBU61]

I have a friend who is 80. He visits my country about 6 months a year and has two women he spends time with. It is a similar situation. His attitude is at his stage of life he has plenty of money and he gets pleasure from helping the two women. He feels like he is truly making a difference in their lives and in return he gets the companionship. He told me in all the relationships he ever had in his life, these are the best. I can appreciate how he feels and by the time I am his age, I may do the same thing.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

love the comment

[@papadougpapadougsadventures]

Andrew had a great time. Sometimes we just decide to spend the money KNOWING that we are paying for companionship. I visit the Philippines for 30 or so days each time and it easily costs me 20kUS. Part of that is in direct expense and as a 100%commissioned sales person it costs more because I’m not earning. I have a Filipina that joins me each time and we have a GREAT time. I enjoy her company and she enjoys mine. She gets a vacation that she wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. The last trip started in Bali progressed to Cebu, Bohol and ended with joining her kids in Manila for the final 4 days. I’ve already planned another month for 2024 and I’m not sure where we will go.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

I really appreciate you doing this video Mike, you wouldn’t believe the amount of backlash I got from my last vacation when I went to Thailand roughly I spent $10,000 while I was there in a month and I completely enjoyed myself and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat I got to go see temples that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got to travel around the country go where I wanted and yes I had girls that I paid to share time with me and I didn’t mind one bit. Some of them were only friends. Some of them were more than that and that’s OK too as far as I’m concerned, as long as know what the deal is, it’s hard to judge because I had been married for almost 30 years raised two kids sent them off to college by the time I took that vacation I hadn’t been around or with a woman in over five years and that’s hard to saywhy shouldn’t I enjoy myself?

This guy is happy to wake up every morning.,.and he has 2 beautiful ladies to wake up with !!!! What a vacation

[@coffeecup3177]

Mike It was nice that Andrew put his self in a position that he could afford to come out for 4 months and spend $40,000 to enjoy himself in retirement. Many people have accumulated a lot of assets by living a middle class lifestyle and planning for retirement ending up with more money than they will ever spend. It was nice of him to provide employment to the Tour Guides at decent wages and I am sure he treated them respectfully and they were able to see the sights. Andrew seemed well organized and I bet when his time comes his children will still inherit a sum of money no matter how much he spends on vacations.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

I think that is very possible and he seemed like money was never a problem

[@PhilCherry3]

The biggest issue I see & which is a common theme with so many expat KZbin videos is this. Too many nosy people butt into other’s business. If I were that man Andrew I would have shut down your first convo as soon as I sensed you crossing my privacy boundaries. He was under no obligation to tell you Jack about what he was doing & how he was rolling. It was not your place to determine whether or not he was being taken advantage of. Now I see how so many expat fist fights in the Philippines start. Let me say this for the people in back. NOBODY OWES YOU ANY EXPLANATION OR DISCUSSION TIME ABOUT THEIR MONEY OR PERSONAL AFFAIRS! NOR DO YOU HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO INQUIRE!

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

he knew i was going to tell the story just did not want to be on camera. That is his photo in the thumbnail. He wanted to share his story

[@IrAbynormal]

For all we know this gentleman was facing his demise, better to lay in your deathbed knowing you experienced this instead of wishing you had. Last year I almost crossed the bridge myself, as I recovered I made up my mind. Whatever time I have left I will be realizing some dreams. I will be embarking on this adventure in several months, I want to have no regrets when the day comes that the Lord calls me home. I have no kids and an ex wife, so who am I going to leave this house to? Sure as hell not the government. A beautiful tour guide, girlfriend or wife, take your pick, any are attainable.

[@gesto70]

Who cares what anyone thinks? Live your life and don't let others shame or insult you.

On many expat pages guys talk about not giving any money to their women’s family etc. I’m thinking how cheap can they be? I’m more like Andrew. Have a great time as long as you can afford it !

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Sounds great!

[@TomScott__]

This is a great story. Everyone knew what was expected from them and everyone was willing to pay the price. I think a lot of Filipina/ Foreigner exchanges start out like this and then suddenly the foreigner is crying about being scammed. This is why I don't judge other people on how much (if any) They want to send or give to a Filipina. I just get tired of hearing them say they were "scammed" later on. If you are going to be a big boy and give money away, then be a big boy and accept responsibility for "your decision" to "give" your money away. Like you said, you cannot take it with you, and you are making a big difference in the life of someone in the Philippines. All I ever ask for is "the truth." I don't like being lied to because then I cannot trust that person anymore. Once the trust is broken, it's hard to get it back again, but I'm still responsible for the decisions I make, and you would never see me crying about being scammed.

[@concepciondental7953]

Best is to set a limit on how much you will spend on your trip. Be firm about and find a way where your budget will be spent in increments instead of one lump sum spending.

@mikesphilippineretirement I don't know about all that, my 20-year history in Jamaica tells me that a thousand a week has me very very comfortable, and Jamaican wages are much higher than the Philippines. And having been to the Philippines I can tell you if I spend $100 a day I'm spending too much, just me being generous.

[@kelmag1724]

Totally agree - some of us in our 60s and 70s have worked hard and accumulated far more money than we can spend with the time left to us - and that goes especially for a lower cost country like the Philippines. Why not spend to enjoy yourself if you have it and at the same time help out two young ladies who are taking the time and making the effort to help you have a good time. It is a complete win-win. So where online did he meet these ladies . . .?

I still don’t wanna go back anytime soon there though because the air is toxic , the fruit is low quality, I just don’t like the primitive culture of the Philippines, in other countries they are open to change/innovation.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Up to the Shrine is a hard ride on a wet damp morning. You should try Chosen Cafe above Valencia

Honestly if he was my father I would no problem with him enjoying his life . They were all grown adults who all knew what they were doing and no parties were hurt as far as I can tell .

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

[@lesliewood4069]

Mike I Like your channel 🌷❤️👍🙏🙏🙏

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@1307scooter]

Just to be able to make that trip at his age and than travel with 2 beautiful women around the islands. It is legend status. He should have never left.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

he may be back

[@lannyg]

hats off to him. I only hope I would have the money, energy and even be alive to enjoy what he did.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Like most of us wish and hope

[@jennymark7403]

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

thank you both

[@concepciondental7953]

Someones standard is different from others. People think I was taken for a ride. I think I played with them. I enjoyed my life everytime I visit the PH. BTW i grew up in the PH.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

I know a few guys who grew up here and finished school and worked in the states

[@lesliewood4069]

That guy is the real deal

[@astrangerinastrangeland]

I know several people that could spend a year there spending 10k a week & their bank account wouldn't even notice. Bravo to this guy!

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

10k a week in Peso or Dollars

[@locker1325]

I think he said US dollars.

[@astrangerinastrangeland]

@@mikesphilippineretirement USD

[@astrangerinastrangeland]

10k PHP a week isn’t even 10k USD in a year. On my trip I spent just under 1k USD a week, $3,800.00 . That was with myself & my ex traveling all over the country. Could have been much less except for the last minute flight to Davon & the $150 a night hotel there. Flights & hotel was $700. We did pretty much what ever we wanted on that budget. I can’t imagine what I would have been doing on a 10k a week budget. For those wondering, spending that money on the very nice hotel in Davao didn’t really enhance my experience. I’ll be sticking to the 20-50 dollar a night hotels on my future trips.

[@fishonaquabid]

I learned a long time ago that something is worth exactly the amount that someone pays for it. I spent $620 a week including the $28 a day for Air B N B's and I had a great time. However, I don't drink alcohol and most of my meals were local food (always local food for breakfast). So I agree with you. $1,000 a week for vacationing is the sweet spot.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

I found that to be true

[@MiamiTwicewrice]

I know a few individuals like that. Hey enjoy the fruits of your labor

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

I agree Miami

[@AussieTonythemexican]

Well said Mike. I'm thinking like this at 49. I don't have time for a partner in Australia.

[@mmchannel8056]

Come to Duma

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

better in Cebu at 49

[@AussieTonythemexican]

I'm coming to Cebu in May, want to see Dumaguete, bohol. I'm following that guys lead. Just need a guide.

[@woutergijs5246]

200$ a day on a short holiday is bang on. All inclusive I mean, condo, car, evening entertainment. And a 350 peso ticket for DUNE 2 ! 😅

[@shdbmw]

Mike, there wont be a brinks truck behind me when i die because I’m going to spend it all. Maybe i will see you in the future.😀

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

I think I'll do what he did. Hire tour guides at the places I travel to. It should make it easier to get around and explore the areas I visit.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

good idea

[@jimmyB52]

👍enjoyed the story Mike

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Thank you Jimmy

[@geo525252]

Hit and run, rent don't buy. Or not. No judgment, do what's right for you.

[@jackscott3589]

It's funny.. part of the American Dream is to enjoy your retirement.. No one should try to tell another person how to do that.. it's ok to be concerned but once someone says I'm enjoying what I worked for, then let them be and cheer them on!

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

well said

[@jimgraham9450]

Great video.

[@leensteed7861]

If you are loaded what does it matter what you spend? Good for him enjoying the visit to the fullest.

[@pandemicoftheunvaccinated5367]

Thailand is where you see the carnage unfold with 2 or 3 week warriors. I avoid places where they frequent eg.pattaya,Bangkok,manila and Angeles as violence often follows them around. Moreover,the loudness becomes obnoxious after a while.

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

where do you live?

[@pandemicoftheunvaccinated5367]

@mikesphilippineretirement I'm based in puerto galera on mindoro but, frequently go to Thailand. Yourself?
