Having lived in the Philippines 🇵🇭 at Clark Air Base back in the day in 1991. I always thought of retirement in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Now age 62 now. I am a widower, my children are grown. Getting close to retirement. Eventually using the American Military 🪖 Philippines 🇵🇭 sponsored SRRV program. So, soon hopefully to make this happen. Thank you for this video.

Central location and ease of travel throughout Asia, makes the PI a great place especially Manila. Personally, I can only handle larger cities for a short period, but I do choose to homebase in BGC for the reasons cited, central in the PI and BGC is a quick shot to NAIA. From here, you can hit everywhere from Seoul and Tokyo up north, to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Min, Singapore/Kuala Lumpur, down to Jakarta. Any of these place can be $200 USD or less, some a good bit less. Heck a quick roundtrip to Taiwan, or Hong Kong is right around $100 USD.

The main problem as far as i am aware of, with those yearly or quarterly renewable insurances is, that on renewal, if you fell sick while you where covered with some kind of chronic, or long treatment condition, they(and of course all other insurance companies) will treat it as preexisting condition. If that treatment is expensive, your premiums will go bonkers or you may not be able to get insured at all anymore, if you cannot cover that.

You are right about Dumaguete. There are now too many expat Vloggers there who keep selling the idea of retiring to Dumaguete, which is, IMHO, making it a place to not retire to. My fiancee is from there, and we are very concerned that it's grown way too fast and is now much more expensive (and increasingly so) with too much traffic. Because of this, we might have to go elsewhere to get away from all that.

Hi Evan this is the second time that I am sending a comment on your videos. I tried to get the 15 helpful steps on moving to the Philippines and put my name and email in and I got a email that says that this is a private site and I could not access it. I sent a comment to you about this and never received a reply. I asked JJ the lonely bull in Asia questions 4 different times on his channel and he replied every time. I subscribed to your KZbin channel and I thought you would treat your subscriber better than this. There are many other KZbinrs that I subscribe to that have always responded to my comments. This is important to me because I am planning on staying in BGC for 6 months and Thailand for 6 months when I leave the United States soon.

Looking forward to my retirement too and because of my husband, I’m retiring in Pinas too! I’ve been living in USA for about 44yrs now, born and raised in Cavite. So I know how it feels to move back to the Philippines and lives the life of queen for me. First of all, I cannot wait to have someone prepare my food for me. But on the other hand, I can’t wait to do some charity work for our kababayan there in Pinas. May I know the place you did this interview in BGC?

2:01 how old was he when he retired? One of my biggest problems at 45 is not working. I work projects and I enjoy being able to pass on some jobs. 3:50 would really appreciate some rough figures. What's "good money"? 6:08 Wow! Cost of lving 1,500 USD! I'm going to have to get a flight soon. Was loving BGC, was working there in 2021, stayed at the Marriott for 2months two blocks from the mall and a ton of restaurants. Beautiful area but the women i met were very westernized. I was a walking ATM. 17:20 Spent far too much time in Pattaya. Pheuket, and Bangkok was really a blur. 19:07 ACR card new? 23:54 traveling health from the US. Seven Corners insurance...thanks! 33:07 Dating life -- same, just not meeting the right women. Love the Philippines, I agree the customer services seems off. Had an experience in BGC at a bar and a few bartenders seemed angry about foreigners buying up property. Thanks To both of you, i will definitely visit JJs channel.

$1,500.00/month in GBC! My budget is going to be $2,340.00/month in Cebu or Dumagete. That includes housing ($700) ,utilities ($235) , transportation ($150), health insurance/dental/vision ($175), visa($30) phone ($50) and $1,000.00 for food/entertainment. I will still have plenty of money left over. And yes, I commented on this video for someone to respond back if I’m budgeting correctly?

As it would probably not usual a younger good looking Filipina girl would stay with him for free. They usually want some type of financial benefit. Especially if the guy is a much older foreigner.

China officers a Permanant Residence Visa, which is relatively low in cost. Philippines has SSRV Retirement Visa which REQUIRES ($10,000) to be put in the hands of Philippines banks, where they can revoke on a mere whim.... That is $10,000 down the drain (risk). China offers far more for Retires with a Pension. Philippines Very Restrictive Rules says "my way or the highway". Keep in mind that the golden highway of Retirees Money ($$$$$$$$) rejected by Philippines, speeds on past the Philippines and lands in the Economy of China! Thank you China. That is smart business indeed. This money can be used to expand China's economy and influence in the world. Smart China!!!

As a retirement specialist. So many Americans are being foolish by staying in the USA 🇺🇸 on a fixed income of say. $4,500 to $6,000 per month. And clipping coupons and scared about inflation. One can live in Thailand. Or the Philippines or Vietnam or Bali for under $1,000 per month per person. Max. And. For someone 60+ and has some retirement cash. This can be placed in an annuity for a lifetime income stream that never runs out.

WOW -- $1500 budget - for 2 - in BGC (!) - but somewhat frugal or thrifty is needed ? --- A single expat who wants to be alone - must be able to live on less than $1500 (?) - '''if''' - he refrains from the extravagance (?) it would seem ? 🤔 Rent is really the big expense here ? > Perhaps a more frugal studio could save some more $ in the budget ?

How is it possible a 20 year old girl will date a 60 plus? of course its for security. Money. The only difference is, the Filipina will return you the favor and will love you for real. But come on, it all starts with $$ and security in their mind. Otherwise, if a 20 plus filipina is a doctor and financially secured, would she date a 60 year old foreigner? absolutely NOT.

I see these interviews with people who are retiring on a budget and bragging about saving 6 bucks here and there. How about a contrary view? I am a 67 year old male (single) in very good health. I am thinking of checking out the PI in November, 2024, with the idea of finding a nice Philippina to spend time with. Through Pensions and smart investing I have a passive income of over $300K a year, which is well over $200K after paying taxes. I am sure there are other older men, like myself, who are in the same situation and are tired of western women, and life in the USA. So, I am thinking of making KZbin videos of my experiences on that kind of income. Unless the Savvy Expat beats me to it!

The interviewee is better off living in another country, like Thailand or singapore. He is just too focused on his inconveniences. Never heard him discussed about the best the country provided him. I bet the Philippines will not be very sad when you hit the airport. Just leave pls.. Just my two cents.

I was about to subscribe to his channel but no, he might be thinking that his channel will grow fast by using different countries in Asia that he’ll traveling at. If you decide to have your base and blog here permanently in the Philippines you’ll definitely earn lots of Filipino subscribers-Filipinos are addicted to social media-put that in your mind. You can only get millions of Filipino subscribers if you’ll permanently and regularly here in Manila. For now, we will not subscribe to you yet, sorry🤪
