This is a really important conversation. I’ve been in Asia for 10 years with the military, have lived outside of the US for almost 20 years of my 63 years, and I agree that life in the US has become one of the most stressful lifestyles in the world. Everything is based on “success” defined by money, but less than 10% of the population can actually claim monetary success relative to the required income; most are barely making it, and very few can retire comfortably these days. But in these “poor” countries, where social programs are abundant, most people have the essentials, and so they don’t feel poor and stressed. I am always impressed with most of these country’s national healthcare systems, but it’s impossible to get that passed in the US Congress. Misinformation is rampant in the US because there are very few actual journalists on top with credentials, and talk show hosts who scam the public for monetary and power gain are prevalent. Politicians are all about earning campaign funds and personal gain rather than spending their time solving problems. The US is in serious trouble, and there are many other places where life might be less material, but much more quality based.

Hello Mark, my name is Ted, I think I've watched most of your videos and I particularly enjoyed hearing Joe's story. I can relate to Joe's story and reasons for relocating to the Philippines. I currently live in Houston and the same things that have been happening in Los Angeles, have been going on here in Houston. I'm too married to a Filipina who is from Leyte and who is now a US Citizen. I had the privilege of previously living and working full time in the Philippines for 10 + years and we are now on a trajectory for returning to the Philippines to live out my life. For me living in the Philippines is a no brainer. I love the culture, people, food, and entertainment, and most importantly for the investment opportunities to help supplement my retirement nest egg and live my life to the fullest. I currently own rental property in Metro Manila and in Cebu and by the way have fully furnished units available right now, if any of your followers are needing a new place to live.

I am a retired nurse and i have taken care of patients with mental illness in the past. The closing of mental institutions happened during the time of Reagan. It is so sad because they cannot defend nor fight for themselves . Somehow they are the ignored and no funding allotted for them. If they kept the mental institutions at least they have a place to go. They need help and medications. They end up homeless and they also commit crimes because of their mental illness. The movie ''Joker ''is an example of how difficult it is for mentally ill people in the US.

Hi Mark, I enjoyed this interview very much. I wish for Joe and his wife more happiness and more quality to their daily life in the Philippines or wherever they currently reside. On Philippines accepting refugees ... yes, If I may add on to that. Philippines accepted approx 5,000-6,000 "white Russian" refugees. They were the Russian persecuted by the "Red Russians" in 1917, They fled to China and when China became a communist country, they fled again in 1945-1949 to Tubabao (near Samar), Philippines. We also accepted 1,300 european jews (more than Schindler's List) prior to WWII (1935-1941). Boat people (Vietnamese) - 400,000 in 1980-1991, they camped in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Many of these refugees have been given citizenships in the US, Aus, and some other countries. in 2013, during the super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) ... it was heart warming that many of these refugees , in their own personal efforts have sent donations and relief good to typhoon victims. In 2019 - the jewish refugees - "AN OPEN DOOR" movie (documentary) was launched in the U.S.. Some jewish refugees who were still living and some who were not were represented by their children and grandchildren, came to the Philippines for a commemorative ceremony in Malacanang palace with then Pres. Duterte and his admin. During typhoon Yolanda, many of these refugees have put their hands together to send relief goods to the affected area. I am very proud how my country, the Philippines. Hospitality goes very deep. It's in our cores, DNA. It is in our heartbeat. We are sensitive (in a good way), nurturing, mild mannered, but not to be provoked bcoz the inner fighter knows how to fight and defend itself.

Interesting conversation. I also live in America and live part of the year in Malaysia. I share the same experiences and when in Malaysia I am relaxed, no pressure or stress and enjoy outstanding food and lifestyle.

[@everymanhasastory]

I've heard good things about Malaysia . Thank you for watching

[@insemely4775]

Thank you for loving our country.

[@jaqsmom]

One of my favorite interviews, likely because I agree with alot of what he said. I live in the NW of the U.S. Portland and Seattle used to be one of the most beautiful cities in the country but now they are ugly ridden by homeless, trash, business suffering from smash and grab, antifa terrorists rioting destroying business as well. The list goes on and on. Feels like there isn’t anywhere you can move in the U.S to escape this. So so sad 😞. .

@@garrylafferty100 Not anymore coz the rest of asia don't accept garbage from say canada.

[@tmb3131]

THAT is exactly why I quit the Lazy B after 25 years and flew into CEBU yesterday... Never dreamed I would see the Puget Sound turn into the crime addled cesspool its become.

[@steveseclecticadventures1894]

@jaqsmom I agree. I left the USA at the beginning of October. I expect to be back in the Philippines before the end of this month.

[@rolandotorres1894]

Some parts of the Philippines especially if you lived in cities of course there's crimes, but if you lived in province in isolated area its peaceful, we welcome you all especially Americans...

[@marcorivera2617]

Crime can be anywhere don’t commit the first mistake, don’t start temptation to victimize you.

[@jspice-kl2wc]

Great interview, Thank you.👍👍👍

[@Marjo273]

Sir your welcome here in Philippines and enjoy

[@john99776]

Great interview. I definitely will be coming there in the future for part of the time.

[@johnboy6594]

love the show mark. You my friend are a natural interviewer.

[@phlebiacbrothers717]

All filipino families will encourage the girl to be with a guy that is successful especially a foreigner. It doesn't matter if she's in love in the beginning they tell them you will be happy just give it time. That's what I've always heard around my family. It's all a game

Back in the 80s the homeless in Los Angeles were only in skid row where I used to park to go to the city buildings where I used to work. The last time I was there in L.A. a year ago, as Joe said the homeless are everywhere. If he lived let's say in San Bernardino, I've seen some homeless guys who will just lay down in your front yard and sleep.

[@everymanhasastory]

I know Gary. Something has to be done. But I have no idea what the solution is. 😕

[@jamesbowie6925]

Hi Mark, finally here in Dumagete, fancy a meet up and a coffee?

[@everymanhasastory]

Sure James. Email me at [e-mail] And we can work out a day and time

Every human has its opinion, option, free will and freedom to choose

[@shaneross64]

I cried my eyes out listening to you two... I'm so unhappy herein the United States

[@everymanhasastory]

Shane don't cry. Take action! If I can move to the Philippines with $600 you can find a way to get here too. There are many ways to earn money online. $200 a week is enough Refuse to accept your situation.

[@AL.N-music]

i have a funny story. Met an American once in a bar owned by a german guy who was my good friend's step dad. We had one too many, it turned out we had the same first names. I have a second name and turned out he had the same exact second name, he goes, "you must be shitin me", then I go, 'what are the chances that your birthday was (my birth date)', then we exchanged IDs, lo and behold, we have the same first and second name, same birth days. The most mind blowing thing that ever happened to both of us. ahahahaha He was much older though. Never saw him again after that. That probably never happens. The likelihood is almost impossible. We had a very good conversation much like this. Could never forget that experience.

[@felopzddefpotec1600]

Another interesting interview to watch…. Thank you to you both!!!!

[@jardindelajoie635]

Your interviewee's sentiments remind me of my second cousin who came over from Chicago for a vacation decades ago when he was about 10. When it was time for his family to return to the US he got somewhat depressed; he didn't wanna leave yet saying he liked it here because people actually take time just sitting and conversing with one another.😊

[@aryan6536]

Hello there from London UK. Excellent interview. Thanks, oh by the way I am first to comment :)

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

[@I.can.do.8]

They are after the less fortunate that work hard and a law abiding citizen. I can't wait to go back home.

[@johnpelar]

Mark, its Geriatric not Pediatric. Good job though. Love your channel. I think I'm coming home to Romblon. From Bellflower, CA.

[@gilberturesti338]

Getting older in the United States is a death sentence. Getting older in the Philippines is enjoyable and your happy 😊

[@docjas5227]

And you have beaches, people, foods, malls, skyscrapers (Makati, BGC, etc) to enjoy.

[@garyt7232]

Another interesting guest. You have great interviewing skills. Enjoy the various topics on your channel. All the best to you and Jen.

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you Gary. I really appreciate your support.

[@anythinggoose8336]

Filipinos like to go outside the Philippines,while Foreigners like to move in the Philippines.😊

[@julie2250]

You know every time i see vlogs like this and know what its like to live abroad it makes me appreciate philippines more,my home❤️ yung iba hindi lng marunong omapreciate kung anong meron sila..

[@scambastards7853]

like to go outside "temporarily" to work and save (because it can be accomplished much easier/faster") and then go back before the retirement or upon retirement to enjoy the fruits of their hard-earned labor while still working as a business owner - and knows what? they have their children (small ones) grow in the country they work and have them also do the same "cycle" for the betterment of their generations. family is number 1 in the Phils. :))

[@romeodeguzman9041]

Filipinos generally go abroad for economic readons and not because they do not like the Phil. Foreigners have the resources, that's why they come in droves..

[@briandumont7272]

Late on the takeup, but the diviciveness here in the US is one of the reason I can't wait to leave. It is getting rediculous here. People now refuse to meet in the middle or, like you said, "agree to disagree".

[@randolphpinkle4482]

Is there actually a middle where people can meet? The two sides are poles apart, and there's a black hole in the middle.
