In this video I talk about turning 62 In Thailand, and the complete process on how I filed for social security benefits from the beginning to receiving my first payment. I also do another test using the new DJI OSMO Action 3 camera and the DJI Wireless mic.

Live in Thailand. I start collecting social security November of this year. They don't have figures for American males living in Thailand but I'm sure it's longer than the United States. The food here is much better for you the healthcare at least in my opinion is the same quality as it is in the United States perhaps better. And far less expensive so I'm not suffering from sticker shock everytime I go to the doctor.

I am a federal employee with the USDA. We have a program that if we retire at 60 with 20 years of service, the agency pays my social security until we reach 62 then SSN takes over. Not a bad program. Also, we can stay on our health insurance at the same rate until we are eligible for medicare.

I also have Dji Action 3. Great camera. Exposure settings. On the rear screen ...on the right hand side ...in the middle ...click on icon (looks like 2 parallel lines). Then ...top right corner is a 'PRO' icon . make sure that it is on ...if on it should look yellow. Below that click on "Exposure". Then set it to "Auto" not "M". Then Left hand side set it to "+0.0EV". On right hand side set ISO range to 100-12800. Click "Confirm". The 2K and 4K settings that you mention ...in theory ...should only affect resolution ...not exposure. Hope this helps. Regular video mode looks better. The sound is excellent.

The sound is perfect. 😊 you are right not to wait (if you have the choice) for 65-70 years to enjoy the present moment because we can never be sure of what awaits us. The life you currently have is priceless and you have already made the right choices to leave before your retirement. Enjoy even more now!

Hi Joe, I have similar backgrounds, came over to the U.S. as a Vietnamese refugee at the age of 11. Lived through the war, started life delivering newspaper in the middle of winter at 5am as a child that couldn’t speak any English. I have one more year to go before retiring in my current govt job and going to Chiangmai. I too will be collecting at age 62, did my math and came to the same conclusion. Enjoy your retirement life and thank you for the SSA information.

Joe, I'm happy to hear you have things worked out for your social security. The mic and camera... The mic is perfect the way it is don't change a thing. The video is a bit darkish but it's really not that bad. The only problem you may have is on a cloudy day or walking into and out of places, buildings, etc. I just watched a video about the settings "Osmo Action 3 EVERY button, setting, & feature EXPLAINED" and he says to turn up the brightness for outside sunny days. Hope this helps. Take care. 🙏👍

Joe, very interesting watching your latest posting. You and I have a lot in common. I've been retired in Bangkok for about 15 years but in my past history you and I both have the same backgrounds. I was in the military for four years and then I worked as a teacher with the Department of Defense overseas schools. That gave me a total of 35 years of government service which is pretty good toward the pension. I have my federal pension from DOD sent to Bangkok every month. I don't get much in Social Security because we didn't pay into it as teachers with DOD. I let that small amount of Social Security go to Bank of America account in the USA. Having the pension transfer here each month is really a pretty good deal there's a minimal transfer fee and the exchange rate is excellent and it's always there on the first of the month. I would never recommend anyone try to get their visa based on that in income every month however. It was so difficult dealing with the Bangkok Bank to get verification of that income every month. AND BIG BANK FEES! Hard to believe since they're the ones receiving the money and holding the money etcetera but it was impossible to deal with with Big Bangkok Bank every year. I've gone back to the 800,000 baht. Deposit

I've mentioned before on your videos that I've been traveling to the land of smiles since 2000ish. I went on the 9ths trip of my good friend who had gone once a year for 9 years so I started out with a big head start on most people. That was around 26 years ago and having been there 30 times of so since I've learned a lot on my own. That said, I've learned and re-learned so much from watching your videos, and Chucks, even the Chocolate man. Its so helpful to see other peoples perspectives and videos like this are super informative. After I first traveled to thailand I was amped up and thought I'd retire there long ago. Things change and I've stayed here mostly because of family. My son Graduated from UCLA in december and today he got his first job, My daughter is 27 and doing great so now this info is getting very helpful. I'm 61 in august. Ive already come to the conclusion its going to take at least a year to organize, sell all of my stuff and rent the house out here so theres a good chance I'll have the SS thing worked out before I arrive in Thailand but its comforting to know if I come before that I can use your info and get it done outside of the US. I say this and I'm starting a new business...lol I'm crazy! Thanks again.

I also started collecting my SSA benefits at 62 in the US, once I moved to Thailand at 63 I notified Manila SSA to have my benefits deposited in my Thai bank account. It was an easy and straightforward process.

Hey Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe, good to know where you are on your walk through life. I am pretty much the opposite of you.had it not been for my back I probably would have stayed on that job until I was 65. Being forced into retirement at 44 was hard to handle. I did have a part-time business at the time and we were going into the the Christmas season so that kept me afloat until the retirement checks started coming in and between that and what I got from Worker's Compensation I actually was making more than I was when I was working.

Greetings Joe, you look great for your age, personally I couldn’t tell much difference with the camera settings and the mic quality is fine. Your decision to claim your social security is your right, you’ve earned it now live long enjoying it with Gift, family and friends. I absolutely agree with you when you talk of average life span, the calculation is the same for us Brits, we’re not expected to last beyond 76! With pension age soon to rise to 70,I’m a few years behind, but plan to go a similar route as you,as always sir take care and have a blessed day ✌🏿☕️🥰

SS process from overseas is hard due to the fact phone numbers don't always work (same with IRS) and the length of time it takes to get to that phone interview. Once you get that though it is smooth sailing. Glad to hear yours has worked out (I got my first payment in Feb) I went through Manilla as well from Australia and applied in November. We came to Thailand in Jan so it took a fair while even though I was 62 prior to applying.

Good idea to get feedback on the video settings. It looked light the natural light that day was rather flat (hazy, not much blue). Under those conditions I wouldn't expect to see much difference. I'd suggest doing a retest on a bright clear day.

The mike is perfect. It's clear and not too loud or soft, but the best part is there's no wind noise. The HDR mode does seem to be a tad darker in this video, but it's kinda hard to tell because you're walking in and out of the shade, and the sun pokes thru the clouds now and again.

Sound quality is excellent. The video quality of both modes is very good. HDR is probably overkill, unless one is viewing on a high resolution computer monitor (but probably not noticeable on a TV, smartphone, or tablet).

Joe, you made the right decision for you. Your assessment of ROI was correct. Take the money up front, invest that money and you are better off. I took my SS at 64 and my wife took hers at 64 and 6 months. Welcome to the official retirement club. Continue to enjoy the best part of our lives.Look forward to your next adventure with Gift. The Mic works just fine.
