When I tell fellow Filipinos about the craziness happening in America, some of which were mentioned by the interviewee, they don't believe me. We'd like to visit San Francisco, CA, to show our kids where my husband and I first met and show them our old stomping grounds - downtown, Union Square, Ocean Beach, etc. But we'll have to put that plan on hold for now, as it's not as safe as it used to be. And we'll have to access the poop emoji map. Moving to the Philippines is one of the best decisions we've ever made. Life here is less stressful, you appreciate what you have and do not think about the things others have that you don't or have less of, Filipinos are nice, and the produce tastes better.

Clark is a good place to retire esp.for former US soldiers stationed there. There are big malls like SM Clark, and tall buildings in Clark Angeles part. But most part of Clark is still green with wide roads left by the US. The red light district is still in Angeles but not as big as before. Many of the army buildings are now restaurants,offices and warehouses. You'll see Wendy's, McDonad's, Burger King, Jollibee, Japanese Restaurants,hotels, theme parks, casinos,condos, international airport,grocery stores,taxi and jeepneys etc. So it's a metropolis free port zone now with a lot of parks, big trees and green areas.

It's really sad but America is becoming a 2 class society. I live in Texas, my wife and I are both retired. Our retirement income is more than our working neighbors. Our mortgage is $1100 on a house now valued at $500k, we paid $180k 17yrs ago, rolled equity from a previous home into it. Our property taxas and insurance is half of our monthly note. Our neighbor is over close to $4k on a similar size home. Last night my wife wanted Chick-fil-A so I go inside. There are grandma's and grandpa's working in the restaurant definitely older than me, I'm thinking how is this OK. I did talk to one as I'm waiting and his story was he worked 30 yrs for a company that paid low wages and offered no benefits so when he was forced out SSI was all he had to live on and it wasn't enough. He also said the money he makes at Chick-fil-A is the most he's ever made in his life.

Debt on a home; debt from credit cards and an automobile payment Is not wealth and most Americans are in debt and don't have a positive net worth. People in the USA are struggling to buy groceries, afford rent and energy and deal with violent crime. Once again what is the 1st world. In 2024.

Love this guy. He has more understanding and insight into the culture than I have seen before, very humbling to listen to. Thank you also for allowing him to tell his story and perspective. Great video!

[@caipirinha_king1632]

First time watching. Instantly subscribed!! Being on disability, this man’s life is relatable from a financial standpoint and also knowing that it’s possible to take my disability benefits abroad. I still have a lot to learn about this though.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you and welcome to the channel 😁

[@beautifulyoung5620]

AWESOME! Congrats to the brother and great content.

[@xaiasworld]

God bless this man. I will be doing the same thing. I’m so grateful that God gave him his inheritance, this is something that not many will understand, when you go through a hard time, things will always even out, and he really took advantage of his life, everyone should praise this!

[@Simplengpinaymorena]

Nice video he appreciates Philippines and he is humble godbless bro!!! Proud pilipina here

[@walterray96]

I really enjoyed listening and learning from this brother. Down to earth, no ego, just plain truth and good insights into the real deal. Thanks for sharing.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Accurate observation. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts

[@mrdacusthenavigator4989]

He did make a good point by stating guys need to take their time once they relocate abroad. Don’t rush into things

[@christianbangsalud7234]

Best interview so far,hes been there for couple of months only but his infos acts on what he does seems like he’s already living in phil longer,and kinda well mannered basing on this interview

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you i'm happy enjoy the video

[@darrellbarnes2096]

Dude was talking about his woman serving him but he was humble and thankful about his woman

[@vivianclark7032]

So very proud of you!!!! It takes tremendous courage to step out of your known zone and claim your greatness!! Keep living life. You are making a difference in someone's world! God Bless YOU!!!

WOW, man another great video, this gentleman has such an amazing incite and knowledge of the Phillippines in such a short time, to share for us newbies, i really enjoyed this video, Thanks.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you i'm glad to enjoy the video

[@ntech1507]

Thank you for the video and guest. You should have more people like him, I think America is great but all the reasons he stated is why i want to live in the Philippines. I enjoyed this video because he was not biased and just spoke facts and what he said about Filipinos coming here is so true, yes you will make more money in America, but cost is so high you will basically be working for bills. My family and I are immigrants and they are starting to realize this as well and they used to think i was crazy for wanting to leave America when i was younger.

[@michaelchristophergutierre7244]

Great interview. The more i listen to this guy the more down to earth and intelligent he is. Best of luck for you

[@AmericanObserver-kq7ye]

👩🏽‍🦱 At first, I thought that the African-American man was an intelligent guy. However, he’s not intelligent. The way that he perceives the roles of women are antiquated, AND he expects his fiancé to work! 😂 He knows that he couldn’t pull that CRAP on an American woman, and especially not an African-American woman. 😁 That’s why he has stayed in the Philippines. 😏 In the United States, female and male roles are mixed when women work. When women work in the U.S., the chores are shared in the household. He’s taking advantage of that twenty-something year old woman. 😔🇺🇸

[@J-Tyson558]

Very insightful perspective of the differences between two cultures without being too judgmental. Neither culture is perfect and it has its advantages and disadvantages. It all comes down to which lifestyle fits you best, and if you can handle the quirks and the head shaking moments (as I call them) in the Philippines and they aren't deal breakers this could be a great place for you. Much power to this guy for understanding the culture and adapting to the lifestyle quickly. I think he's found true happiness in the Philippines.

[@Livingabroadalex]

You're absolutely right! I think he has too 🥳

[@J-Tyson558]

@@Livingabroadalex What about you, Alex? Have you found true happiness in the Philippines?

[@Livingabroadalex]

@J-Tyson558 Not like him, haha But I do love the Philippines, and that's why it is my base in SE Asia I still have a long way to go before i can retire. Still traveling the world 😁

Looks like the ayala mall i was just there A couple days ago came back to America i already miss it in the philippines great culture, kind people, laid back, dollar stretches far & great weather how could you beat that?

Yes. Your right. This is Ayala Mall.

You try Bagiuo Sir the place there is cool.and good for your Asthma.

[@mistertigre.4611]

When you have astma you need to live near the sea not up in the mountain.

[@bethanieramos951]

True. My grandmother had asthma and moved here in Baguio in the 70s as per her doctor's advice. My dad loved it here and never left, hence, I was born and raised here even though my roots are from the South of Luzon and South of the Philippines. 😁 My husband has asthma and he's from La Union. Every time he goes back to LU, his asthma would be so much worse and once he comes home, he'd feel so much better.

[@herchickenlegs4]

Just be careful to find a wife. FILIPINOS are kind hearted, friendly and hospitable but remember there's always one who will use you. Good luck to you ...

[@MrSaabsucks]

Leaking roof, sick Lola, funeral expenses for distant relatives 2 islands away, tuition assistance, dental assistance, broken cell phone, this shit money requests never stop.

[@Khing-r8m]

Same with the western world, girls Marry you and divorce you for money. No perfect relationship in this world.

[@MissUnique2584]

Nah he bragged about the place as of no wrong… he just another American trying to run away

[@Livingabroadalex]

@MissUnique2584 you mad bro? This guy chased happiness even with a disability. While all you can do is try to bring him down. I suggest you worry less about him and focus more on yourself

[@mamabear2916]

This happens everywhere. Not just Filipinos. In other countries, it may be even worse. You will find men and women who use their partner for their benefit and not for love. AGAIN...NOT JUST FILIPINOS...

[@urbangypsy6557]

I think the key to happiness is to live simply. Nice vid.

Welcome to the filipines. You sir have the right attitude. Don't loose this view and you'll be super happy. Stay positive!!

[@johnc4757]

I'm a white American male, 62 years old. And I am sickened by the recurring racism in America. My best friend is a black man from Louisiana. We talk all the time about the Philippines. I have a beautiful Filipina fiancé and I will be retiring in the Philippines in a few years to be with her. My friend also wants to retire there. He is also sick of the racism and the hate in America. I told him he won't have to worry about racism against him in the Philippines. The Philippines isn't perfect. There are many challenges there. But in the Philippines you won't see some idiot in a lifted truck with a confederate flag the size of a circus tent.

[@yvonnegoodgridge6693]

Good for you

[@Explorer63-k6d]

How did you meet your fiancé?

[@ericechols6056]

That's a beautiful and awe-inspiring story, a rags to riches story compatibly fit for Byron. I hope that Byron continues to have much success in his new and improved life and home, called the Philippines. America has become toxic and so much I could say from a biblical perspective about America. Home is truly where the heart is. It's about what works for you and how well you merge and adapt, into wherever you call home. Peace.

[@DavidPrue]

Very upfront guy, with an excellent attitude. I have been living in the Philippines for 24 years now. I would not change it for anything.
