I was wondering why some people say all you need is 1000 /monthly to live in the Philippines? so I would think 1300 / monthly would be sufficient

[Larissa-Raphaela]

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

The best you could add is to marry an educated hardworking Filipina with good family that will not take your money.. be honest to them coz they think foreigners are rich people

[danneyboy]

I have lived there 8 years, i can speak Tagalog, own 2 houses, one in Alaminos Pangasinan and one in Baguio Benguet. I started out being stationed in the Air Force in Clark Air Base Angeles City Pampanga 3 years then returning after a short tour in Korea at Osan Air Base another 5 years until Mt Pinatubo blew its top in1991. I ended up married to the daughter of Fernando Gines chief forester of the Philippines and still married to this wonderful lady. We now live in Corpus Christi Texas but often go back.. I love the Philippines and the people there. I will soon return when my wife retires as a nurse practitioner in January 2024. Life is great

sound advice. After 10 yrs living in the Philippines, I was in a car accident. Once physically able to travel back to California for rehab, we stayed for one year. My wife and I travelled back to the Philippines, but now only stay 4 to 6 month at our home in Naga. What saved me from major problems, I kept my home in California and rented it out while in the Philippines. You must have an alternate backup plan in an event of an emergency. Moreover, I don't recommend staying longer than a year in the Philippines due to the medical/living conditions.

[Lifechaser]

You made this important point very succinctly better than anybody else who had talked about the issue. You hit all the right notes. Good job!

[donk.]

Love this video. You are blunt, to the point, no extra chatter. I appreciate your well experienced comments. Thank you, Dk.

[gmscolh]

Very sound advice. Pay attention. Actually, it applies to anyone wanting to stay or live in a foreign country for an extended period of time. Always have a “plan B or C”.

[adamgarey]

Yes Mike Very Good Reasons! Thank you for being Straight and Honest! Many Country Video Segments hardly talk about these very valuable topics! Best to You!

[michaelgrider]

You are helping by telling these truths. It could save someone a very bad time and life . Thanks. Salamat

[jonirving]

Great video, Mike. I am contemplating Philippines in my retirement. But I am a different sort. I lived in Honduras for 7 years. I saw the alcoholics and the guys with no money, and the complainers. I was there as a young teacher at an international school. The honeymoon wears off quickly. I loved the slow pace of life, but there are a lot of frustrations. I am in a good position financially to make the move in retirement. But I am only planning to visit for a couple of months. I may not like it. Who knows? This video is really important, because so many videos only talk about how great everything is there, and what a paradise it is. Yes, it is a beautiful country, but not for everyone. Keep up the good work.

[hadrianopolis]

I did many mistakes. I'm from Montreal. I met a very fine lady online and got engaged before I visited the PH with plans of retirement and buy a few hectares of pineapple farm. We spoke for many months on messenger. Then 3 months before my first visit there, I began to have strong doubts about my capacity to adapt to life there . I went for a month anyway and was very disappointed for many of the reasons you mentioned...the noise at night, the food, the cities...now I'm back home in a very sad state of mind 'cause my Filipina and I we truly love each other but I don't think her country is for me.

[indiahenretta]

Thank you for your kind advice and guidance . All what you’re saying is the truth 👍🏻 from San Diego California USA 🇺🇸

[RealGaryGibson]

When I came to Manila to meet my LDR filipina, we spent 2 months living together in a condo to see how we got along together. It wasn't a vacation, she cooked and cleaned while I worked on my computer and paid the bills. That was a great preview to our future life together and it was great!

[Matthew-gzoh]

This is a must see video before moving to the Philippines. It will be great to see what you and Paul come up with on your collaborations.

[lostlarry]

Best advice around. Been there 15 times. And this info is very solid. Listen closely to this man

[thomasq]

Great points guys. I've been thinking about it and will definitely take those into consideration. Thanks!

[truthbetold]

Mike right now i am talking to an agent in Cebu, they are building a lot of condo and houses and they are planning a lot of expat to come over. This is the same thing as some videos in Dumaguete about expat being disrespectful to the Filipino people. Sadly this won't stop those people who are idiots and respect no one. Lots of people are going to come to the PH to retire and lots of them will get drunk and party all the time, its sad but that is life. Some people simply have no respect for nothing, i had a condo near Montreal the guy next door had 2 young kids, marijuana was not permitted but he smoked it day in and day out, i sold my condo because of this, even is girlfriend was stupid. For me if i even retire to the PH i am going to keep a low profile, i keep fit i love training i do not drink nor take drugs and i will try to avoid any encounter with other idiot foreigner who lack respect to others.

A couple of other things that guys from the U.S. might not like (or at least, I don't like) are the loud drunken music on New Year's Eve and at birthday parties and also when they burn leaves and make the air smoky. Those are my pet peeves but at least they're not done everyday so that I can put up with them. I love my Filipina wife and her family and am generally happy with everything else here. I was lucky that things worked out on my first visit and we got married after I had been with her for three months after chatting with her online for two years. Eventually we'll go to the U.S. but just for a visit; the Philippines is my home now.

Luckily, I’ve been to PI in the past and yes, it was an eye-opener of adjustments. But that was sometime ago now I have plenty of friends well let me say I have enough friends who are Filipinos and they are willing to guide me wherever I need to go since they live in the states as well. So I travel with them and they gave me the full experiences by island hopping. I could not ask for anything more! Live and learn!
