Retired in the Philippines is it Just for Old Men? Paul McGill Old Dog New Tricks April 21 2020

[@KOHTAOMURDERSDEATHISLAND]

Hi Paul. 🦘🦘✅ Your channel is on steroids at the moment with your subscriber numbers surging accompanied by increased views on your videos! It was only 2 months ago that you reached 5,000 subscribers and now you are racing towards 7,000 subscribers. CONGRATULATIONS!! Cheers from Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺 🦘✅

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Thanks Ian!

[@johngroleau8760]

Almost 25k in subscribers now. Not bad for someone who just like to watch people walking by. I know what you mean. Looking forward to this situation getting over and getting out there again. Love your perspectives. Keep on chugging man.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @johngroleau8760 Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my content 🙏🏼. Yes, it's great to see the community growing despite the pandemic challenges 🌈. Here's to hoping for a speedy resolution and a safe return to exploring our beautiful country 🚶‍♂️. Cheers! 🥳

[@petergapsis5526]

Hey Paul, I really enjoyed your comments and your video. I am 76 years old and I believed I learned a lot just from watching you and listening. Thank you for sharing your comments. God bless.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @petergapsis5526 Thank you so much! It's great to hear that my experiences and insights have been helpful to you, even at 76 years young! I'm glad you found value in watching and listening. Keep on learning and growing! 😊

[@lesliethilow3011]

Thanks for sharing your astute observations Paul. This topic was very informative and interesting. Learned a lot and simply awesome to hear you discuss things that matter.

[@davidkaiser810]

I wish that everyone was as sensible as you. That's why you resonate with so many people. Thank you for another informative video Paul

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @davidkaiser810 😊 Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot to me! I appreciate your support and encouragement! 😊

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

Paul, I don't know what you did but you are gaining like 500 subscribers a day - absolutely amazing. I remember the day you had a total of 500 - hahaha. Your outstanding sense of humor and honest chat is finally catching on like wildfire. As of Sunday night (26 Apr) you are showing 8.52K - amazing!!! The only downside, but truly and upside from your point of view and I can deal with it, is the large amount of ads on your channel. I just endured a 6 min single ad just now and over the course of your whole video there were like 7, most under 1 minute thankfully. (The long one worked out great for a bathroom break - hahaha). Anyway, I always let the ads play all the way through as I know it helps out your channel if you do. Keep up the great vlogges and best wishes always. You definitely have your work cut out to answer all the comments now - :)

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

WHEW!

Hi Paul. I am a swedish filmmaker who just found your channel and subscribed plus hit the BELL I am "only" 51 and strive to live the rest of my life here in the Philippines. I have no income or work permit so I will have to build a profitable business. Thanks for sharing your life and being awesome! STAY SAFE / Anders - Carcar City, Cebu

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @lifestyledesignpro9388 Thanks for reaching out, Anders! 😊 It's great to hear from you and glad you found my channel inspiring. Building a profitable business in the Philippines can be challenging, but it's definitely possible with dedication and hard work. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it happen. Stay safe and keep chasing your dreams! 😊

[@stevebraun9167]

Paul, so glad to have found your channel. I feel like you could be speaking to me. I’m coming up on my 61st birthday and am burned out and depressed at times with the daily grind of corporate America and all of the related stresses. Like you, I also had a heart attack a couple of years back and am looking for another way. Strongly considering retiring at 62 and making some life changes. Your video’s have given me a lot to think about and consider. Appreciate you sharing your insight and experiences.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

[@tomcase2837]

Cool video, cool channel! It's something how KZbin finds (suggests) videos for me. My wife of 8 years and I live in Florida. She still keeps me around after all that time, so she's very special, and as you said, I feel it is my duty to help her set up her future. I'll be 65 soon, she's 40. Like many there, she was brought up in a nipa hut with no electricity and no plumbing. Since she's been here she has built a block home with running water and electricity for her family, and I'm very proud of her. Anyway, you have another new subscriber now... lots of luck to you!

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @tomcase2837 Thanks so much for the kind words and support! It means a lot to me and Baby Mae. It's great to hear that you and your wife have found happiness in Florida together after 8 years. That's amazing that she's built a block home with running water and electricity for her family, and it's clear that she's an incredibly strong and capable person. I wish you both all the best in your future endeavors! 😊

Great honest feedback from a man who did it. No BS here! Good insight.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @cweismeyer Thanks so much! I'm glad you found my video informative and helpful. Yes, retirement in the Philippines can be a great option for people of all ages, not just older men. The country offers a relaxed lifestyle, beautiful scenery, and a relatively low cost of living, making it an attractive destination for many expats.

[@joshopincar4347]

So funny Paul....I'm a California kid too - I too am the quiet, observing type who just loves to people watch....I have a good time watching you as a 47 year old guy here in AZ - never thought I'd be hooked watching someone's KZbin channel!

Hi @joshopincar4347 Thanks for sharing! As an American living in the Philippines, I appreciate your California roots and enjoyable viewing experience. 😊

[@richier53]

I have been told that Medicare does not pay for medical bills in foreign countries. So what do you do about health care?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @richier53 Thanks for reaching out! Yes, Medicare doesn't cover medical expenses abroad, but there are some alternatives to consider. We have a local health insurance plan that covers us here in the Philippines. It's not as comprehensive as Medicare, but it helps with unexpected medical costs. Also, many hospitals and clinics offer affordable rates for foreigners, so we can get quality care at a lower cost than what we would pay back home. How about you? Have you found any similar alternatives for healthcare while living abroad?

[@winduncan9818]

I think you are putting out better/more interesting videos and more people are watching now. 2 other PI KZbinrs are saying their numbers are decreasing with the lockdowns. There will be more and more young guys as the internet improves and other countries become more restrictive with visas.

Hi Paul , baby Mae …. Really like your way of storytelling , watched a lot of your vids now , I’ve never been outside my country , don’t even have a passport , I’m 58 , and something like what you’ve done , is starting to be very appealing , more to escape the western rat race , chill out , be in the company of nice people , that would be more than I require , so thx for being you , information is golden …..cheers 🍻

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @pete8163 Thanks so much! Your kind words mean a lot. It's great to hear that my stories are inspiring others to consider a different path in life. The Philippines is a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of Western society, and I'm sure you would love it here. Don't worry about not having a passport - there's plenty to explore and experience right here on this beautiful island! 😊

[@fretworkband3204]

I was married to a Filipina nurse that I met here in the states for 33 years until she passed from cancer. When I began to look for love again I met a young Filipina in the U.S. that was ironically 33 years younger and dated her for a few months until she started pressuring me to marry. I had no interest in remarrying at the time and we split up. She is now married to another Anglo and has a child and I’m happy that she has found what she was looking for. Subsequently I traveled to PI and met my current wife, 8 years younger, and have been married now for 2 1/2 years. She has three grown independent children and she has truly been a blessing. We split our time between the states and Luzon.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @fretworkband3204 Thanks so much for sharing your story! It's great to hear that you've found happiness again after experiencing loss. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and start dating again, especially after going through a difficult time. I'm glad you found someone who makes you happy and that you're able to split your time between the US and Luzon. 😊

[@tomgerryinphilippines8817]

another good talk paul. I can relate to lot of what you say and have said over the last few months I have been following you. I have been following a lot of vloggers for the last 7 years and enjoy your content and one other one more than the others. I am very happy with my relationship with my filipina who is 23 years younger than myself. I waited 3 years til I hopped on a plane to meet her in person as I was never planning to meet a woman so far away but found her to be very down to earth and funny and smart as well as beautiful inside and out. I consider living there when I retire in October and like a lot about the relationship and the easy life compared to usa but there are some things that are hard to adjust to like jeepneys, trikes, and not flush toilets. Keep up the good work and glad you are getting monetized. I know you don't do it for the money but glad you are getting little something to help mae with her business ventures as well. God bless you both!!!

You said it, you improve her life as she improves yours..... very well said sir! I am 51 and it is my intention to reward myself on my 60th birthday with a one way ticket to Thailand, I think the principles re Philippines as very parallel to Thailand! I’ve lived abroad (in Portugal) before and at least I know how to plan for a permanent move abroad, and yes I’m sure the lady or ladies will play a part at some stage, but as you say it’s a mutual gain for both people if it’s dealt with correctly.

[@thaidawg9231]

Hey Paul, are you satisfied with Dumaguete, some are now saying that there are too many expats there and locals are weary of all the expats.

[@Rick101755]

Yes getting crowded here. Not only expats but Filipinos too.

[@PinoyFX]

@@Rick101755 Woah, of course Dumaguete City is in the PHILIPPINES... LMAO

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @thaidawg9231 Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your feedback and can understand why some may feel that way. However, Baby Mae and I have had a great experience living in Dumaguete so far, and we've made many wonderful local friends here. 😊

[@ericbown1551]

It’s all give and a take ..everybody looks at things at their own angle. Everyone needs to be honest with each other. It’s all obvious stuff. I wish all you guys the very best.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @ericbown1551 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊 You're absolutely right, it's important to approach life in the Philippines with an open mind and a willingness to learn and adapt. Honesty and communication are key to making the most of this beautiful country. Wishing you all the best as well! 😊

[@andreypetrov8751]

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @andreypetrov8751 🙏 Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot to me. I'm glad my videos have provided you with an accurate representation of life in the Philippines. I appreciate your support and I hope you continue to enjoy my content. 😊

Good Morning from San Diego California.

Good morning!

[@dalelittlefield57]

one of your better vids, good powers of observation.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @dalelittlefield57 Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found my observations helpful. It's great to hear from viewers like you who are also exploring life in the Philippines. 😊

[@daviddarden1915]

Paul, another great video. In my opinion, back in the day there were young guys at the bases of Clark Air Base and Subic BAY Naval Base who were more responsible and did find serious relationships with the local women. Obvious since the closings of those bases things have change. Now the men are generally older like me starting to get closer to retirement age (I am 57). Now these young bucks of today who go there (Philippines) all they want is to clown around for the most part. Plus in my opinion the study income from things like social security and other programs for the older men are not there for young bucks. This is very problematic for them to exist in a stable environment without a secure stable retirement income. So, I believe that many of the Filipina females find out that they had wasted their time by trying to get with the young guys in general. Now older guys like us Paul generally still appreciate beautiful woman but, we do keep it real and try to just keep one by our side as compared to the young bucks who think they are playboys. I agree Paul, as I have gotten older, I am more tamed in certain areas (physical) even though you still love to dabble in the physical too. I am glad that I was in the Philippines when I was in the military in 1991 at age 31 and got rid of the lust qualities then. Now, I think I could plan to go back and just want to retire because, my income would be plentiful there. If I am blessed which I think I would be to attain a relationship, then I know I would be more of a companion partner instead of a lust partner like I was back in the day. Thanks again Paul for all the great information.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @daviddarden1915 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences! It's great to hear that you have a more mature and realistic approach to relationships now compared to when you were younger. 💕 It's important to keep things in perspective and prioritize stability and mutual respect in any romantic partnership. I'm glad to hear that you've had positive experiences with Filipina women and are open to the possibility of finding a meaningful connection with someone there. 😊 If you have any other questions or insights, feel free to share them!

[@markgauger9056]

I like all the videos I have watched so far. I was planning to move to the Philippines this year. But with this virus blow up all my plans. Hopefully when this is over I can come back to the Philippines I spent s week in Cebu and just loved it. Can't wait till this B S is over.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @markgauger9056 Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 Yes, many people are planning to retire or move to the Philippines, and the pandemic has definitely put a hold on those plans for now. But as you said, hopefully when this is all over, we can all return to our dream destinations in the Philippines. Stay safe and healthy!

[@chuckjordan8280]

Paul you look just like Jerry Springer 😂 but seriously I really enjoy your content it's a genuine perspective. I'm 42 and was in a relationship with a beautiful 23 year old Filipina and I came out to Manila for a brief visit to meet her and her parents and it was a great experience but I had to end the relationship 4 months later which is a long crazy story lol keep doing what you're doing!

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @chuckjordan8280 Thank you so much! Grateful for your kind words. It's not just old men retired in the Philippines, many young people like yourself are also enjoying this beautiful country. Sorry to hear about your past relationship, but glad you found it helpful watching my videos. 😊

Hi @casedismissedguaranteed7436 "Awesome to hear from a fellow veteran! Subic Bay was one of my favorite places during my time in the Philippines.

Hi @damonbugden2648 Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@edwardlautsch8539]

Great, sensible video! Your humor reminds me of a time when a lady went to see the doctor. She finally gets in his treatment room, takes off all her clothes and lays down on the table. Says to the doc, "I haven't seen a man in two years! " Doc says, I got just the treatment for you. Here, he says, these eye drops will cure what you have! Lol. Thanks for the video!

[@lanibarton2504]

Hahaha so funny 😄

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @edwardlautsch8539 Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. The joke you shared made me chuckle as well! It's great to hear from people who are also exploring retirement options in the Philippines. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further advice. 😊

[@ovidroberts8983]

hay Paul we have a lot in common I will be retiring there with my Philippine wife after she gets her citizenship here in the U.S

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @ovidroberts8983 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! It's great to hear that you and your wife have similar plans for the future. Good luck with the citizenship process, and I'm sure you'll both enjoy living and retiring in the Philippines. 😊

[@jkbc]

Paul, If you don't mind me ask question: Do you completely living in Philippines without having a back up plan in the US such as Health Insurance for just in case? Also I would like to ask more questions but it may not be appropriate to put them here. Is it possible to contact you via email? Thank you.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @jkbc Thank you for your question! Yes, I do have a back-up plan in the US when it comes to health insurance. As a US citizen living in the Philippines, I make sure to maintain my US health insurance coverage while also having local Philippine insurance. It's important to have a backup plan in case of any medical emergencies. And yes, you can reach me via email at. Look forward to hearing from you!

[@davidhutchinson5233]

I think the key is just to reduce stress. Pick a nation, there are a ton of them out there. OR find some land here in the US.....get off grid and become self sustaining. Nothing more satisfying than that. I lived in Mexico years ago and my biggest regret is returning permanently here and getting back on the proverbial treadmill.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @davidhutchinson5233 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Reducing stress and finding a nation or land to live off the grid are great options for expats looking for a more relaxed lifestyle. It's great that you have experience living in Mexico and can share your insights with our audience. 😊

Why did you choose Dumaguete to live in?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @randy6766 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I chose Dumaguete because of its laid-back atmosphere, affordable cost of living, and excellent quality of life. It's an ideal place for retirees like me who want to slow down and enjoy life without breaking the bank 😊

What’s your take on retiring on Boracay Island Ph🇵🇭🤔...

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @doncena8880 "Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Boracay is definitely a popular choice for retirement, but there are many other beautiful islands and communities in the Philippines that can offer a great quality of life as well. We've been living in Dumaguete for a few years now and have found it to be an amazing place to settle down. The cost of living is relatively low, the people are friendly, and there are plenty of activities and communities to keep us engaged. 😊"

[@brianp6097]

Great video Paul, I agree with it all 100%. We think alike about many things, maybe it’s an age thing. The dirty old man, or sex pat thing is just trotted out by people either with no personal experience, or people who have had a bad experience with women. Men like that don’t settle with one girl, and build a relationship and improve her life, they just find as many as they can and don’t get involved with any of them. Some people refuse to believe that a younger girl can love an older guy, but it happens and often. Filipinas often see past a guys looks, and love him for having a good heart, being loving caring and faithful. In other words, they love him for who he is, not just for his looks. A lot of them have been burnt by the younger good looking guys. You treat them well, they will treat you well, unlike Western women.

The young lady/ older dynamic has existed for centuries. Charlie Chaplin was 54 when he married Oona O' Neil at about age 18 and the marriage lasted until his death at 88 years of age.

Hi @stevesmith1127 Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, Dumaguete has a great retirement community, and it's not just for old men. Many expats and digital nomads are also drawn to the area for its relaxed atmosphere and affordable cost of living.

[@naderayrom596]

Hi Paul, I haven't been to Philippines yet, but been to Thailand.How do you compare the amount of heat and humidity between the two countries? And how do you ,deal with it?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @naderayrom596 Thanks for your comment! Yeah, the heat and humidity in the Philippines can be pretty intense, especially during the summer months. It's definitely a challenge, but I've found ways to cope like staying hydrated, dressing appropriately, and taking breaks in cooler spaces. Thailand can also be hot and humid, so it's interesting to hear your comparison!

[@dennishunt787]

You real lucky guy

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @dennishunt787 Thank you so much! It's definitely not just for old men here in Dumaguete, there are people of all ages and backgrounds making the move to retire or semi-retire in this beautiful country. 😊
