I'm always surprised how Americans break friendships and family ties over politics. Here in Belgium we have a multi-party system. One of my closest friends votes extreme left while I lean more towards moderate right. We get along just fine! Most of the time we avoid talking about politics and when we do, he voices his opinions and I voice mine without raising our voices. We are still the best of friends and why shouldn't we be?

A very under-rated benefit of the retire-abroad phenomenon is how refreshing it is to leave so much of the politics of your home country behind. Something I miss most about the 10 years I spent in East Asia - despite being a news and politics junkie before (and since), all of that just melted away over there, somehow. I couldn't even have told you for sure who the Prime Minister of my home country was during that time. And you just never need to care so much about the politics of where you are over there: "I'm just a guest. It's not really my business, and I can't do a thing about it, anyway. Let the locals worry and fight over it." I'm really looking forward to returning to that 'blissful ignorance' one day.

I’m 68 Filipino-Canadian, still having second thought on retiring permanently in the Philippines due to uncertainties living there. On the flipside, there are things that I cherished back then that I can’t find here in Canada. Happines, contentment with little means, relaxing atmosphere, raw nature, and genuine friendly neighbors, all these I can find in the province. This video gives meaning to retirement. Thank you.

There are many reasons why people in the Philippines die earlier than expected, but it's well known that life expectancy tends to be shorter when living in the Philippines. It comes down to a choice: live happily while you're alive or live longer but unhappily in your home country. This doesn't apply to everyone, of course, but I asked the Norwegian embassy about the average age of Norwegians in the Philippines, and in 2011 it was 59 years. Alcohol, traffic accidents, and lack of funds when ending up in the hospital are likely some of the reasons. Excessive alcohol consumption and unhealthy lifestyles are common for many who live in the Philippines. I recently spent a month in Cebu-Dumaguete-Dipolog, but it will be my last time-it's just not for me anymore. However, many people enjoy it, so it's probably good for many.

I learned that life is a second away from ending 6 years ago when my leg was crushed in a machine at work. I still haven't been back to Thailand or the Philippines since 2011. That is when I brought my Pinay wife and daughter to the USA. They have returned 3 times but I have stayed at home at first because we needed my income. But I am also happy here or content is probably a better choice. But I still worry about my wife and daughter so I continue to invest as much as I can. And yes, I can't take the money with me, but I can make sure my wife and daughter are taken care of when I am gone. That is probably the number 1 thing that I can't understand. Is the Philippine attitude that tomorrow will take care of itself.
