He Retired Early And Moved To The Philippines. Every Man Has a Story

[@RJRussoVids]

This whole thing where you work till you’re aged and then think you’re going to be traveling the world once you finally stop working at 65 or 70 is upside down. I’ve known a few people who are older than me whose plans didn’t work out due to illness or other unexpected factors. This guy’s doing it right by taking time off while he still has his health and youth. 👌

[@roberthertel5565]

I agree RJ !!!

[@friendsaroundtheworld7184]

So, true. I should be in a hurry. 😊

It's a major benefit to having kids earlier.

@@youngandfree93 Yeah, I've seen people so focused on career they wait until they're 50 or more.

I am currently on a round the world trip. I'm 73. Stay fit and enjoy retirement. the last 12 years have been the best of my life.

[@geraldineheimy7748]

I’m married to American husband for 33 years and convincing him to quit his job and it’s time to move to Philippines but he’s so hardheaded. We work so hard and we’ll be ok for the rest of our lives (we’re not rich) we don’t have life but work and it’s getting me that I’m getting older. I think I’ll just come here and visit him once in a while 😂

[@LloydintheAmericas]

A close family friend was like your husband hard working appeared to be in great health long story short 5 yrs before he thought to retire one morning she found him on the dining room floor deceased from a heart attack my advice is go now while you can you may not have tomorrow

[@geraldineheimy7748]

@@LloydintheAmericas i keep on telling him that life is short but he said 5 more years to retire so we can have the full pension at the age of 62. We take a vacation once a year but it’s not fun as taking a vacation every day in the tropical country like my country Philippines.

Well done to Adrian. He sure got all his ducks in row and living the dream from the sounds of things. Smart bloke. Very fortunate timing as well with COVID stock crash happening when he had cash from the house sale on hand, so he could buy up cheap. I was opposite as invested pre-pandemic and made dumb decisions during the crash. Interesting how single life events and decisions can significantly affect you.

[@joeblow3939]

Mark, I saw a video yesterday about a man getting rid of all of his pain he was dealing with. He said he put a piece of metal tape (a/c duck work tape) across his bed. Then ran a wire outdoors and put it in the ground, connected to a metal rod. After sleeping on it, when he got up no more pain. He called this, grounding. I have herd that we can do the same thing by not warring shoes. If you are interested I can try finding the video and send you the link. I found this to be very intriguing. Maybe on a lounge chair for a few hours a day. Just thought I would let you know. Thanks for the great interview. 👍

Good for you both! An older guy I was talking with told me how many people he knew personally who waited till full retirement age and were dead 2 years later.

To have the Australian Age Pension to be Portable ( payable overseas) you need to have been ressident in Australia 35 years minumun. There is no social security ageement between AU & PH so you get at present $925 pf after 6 weeks as the supplements are taken off. I f you do not have residency you can not stay overseas very long.

This guy is like pulling teeth to get anything out of. I’m a motorcycle guy and I wish people would just say the bike make, model and size of their bikes. The reason for interviews is to learn. He could have also expanded on the cost of a bike for operation and insurance. All of that would have taken 30-45 seconds. Mark not complaining so much as giving you feedback and feeding the KZbin algorithm 😊

[@michaeljakeusman]

a 650cc bike usually cost around 500-800k pesos. basic insurance is 500-700 pesos yearly and registration is 600, emission is 500-600. change oil (synthetic) 500. gasoline now is 60/L

If he does not want any kid how about his girlfriend. You can not blame Filipinas to play around if you decided to not give her a child. Generally Filipinas love motherhood, children give us happiness and meaning to life. We love to nurture and gives us pride to have a child. I just do not know about his GF but again Filipinas can tolerate the man's bad attitudes if there is a child.

Probably very few western women. Why would they? Those are not the kind of men (Filipino) they typically want, for example. They can get taken care of, or simply not be alone, where they are, if they're "just" average (or below). It's a lot different for men.

Seems normal. Chill. The average person is not like some of the other guests (assuming everything they said to be entirely true anyway). The right kind of person for someone who does not need to be constantly entertained (but even plays some PC strategy games). He did the smart thing and won't have to work away for nothing in a place where he's invisible, even if putting everything into funds, ETFs and whatnot isn't glamorous/interesting. Steady income which does not rely on SS or similar is good, especially for younger guys. The women won't care what he did/does to attain it anyway, as long as it's there, unlike western women.
