Keeping busy in retirement with not 1 single worry. If you’re not married to a Philippine citizen you can still retire here. You can buy the land where you want like I did. But, if you’re not married to a citizen of the Philippines you can still legally lease the property for 100 years or more. Or you can buy a condo that is yours. You just don’t own the land it sits on.

Car maintenance adventure. Everything is an adventure in the Philippines! Strangely, people seems to be looking at my shoes more than me. It’s a style of Nike I haven’t seen around here. My wife bought them in America, with a specked rubber and a soft cloth top very comfortable. Anyway, I wiggled my toes when I saw someone looking at them. 🙃

I love maintaining the well system cause it gives me a reminder of its basically free. Only$5.00 of chlorine twice a year and water filters. Filters are another $20.00 a year cause I change them every 3 months instead of 1 time a year. I also remember with glee that the septic tank is free and the garbage collection is free. I get so happy knowing in Virginia that all would be thousands of doll...

@@todnewoods5121 Really,I didn’t know that. How do they prepare it ?
Question ~ We bought a place is Subic and I replaced the ceiling lights with LED lights from Wilcon - most of them have a glow at night, like they are still on a little, I asked the guys at the store and they pretty much said it is normal ? Not sure they understood me though. Do you have any insight on that with your build ?
@@Qwikbeat No, none of my LED lights glow after you turn them off. They are probably a different brand since I only got some PVC ceiling panels from Wilcon. Stuff like lights I got from Citi hardware or triumph.
@@Qwikbeat I have never seen that before. Hopefully you don’t get electrocuted.Better safe than sorry.
@@62tofreedom51 Apparently it is common in houses here because of a lack of a good ground, a small amount of voltage that usually dissipates in the ground stays in the loop and burns off through the led light. One guy has got around by using a four way switch so that he can disconnect both sides - blue an brown. I'm still researching, - And too late - I got bit the other day when I got distracted, man that pair of pliers really flew a ways ! Lol had every dog in the neighborhood barking ! Learned my lesson with 220 ! Take care man .. TY
@@Qwikbeat I’m not sure what my builder did, because I don’t mess with electricity. All my plugs are 2 pronged plugs. If something has a 3rd ground prong I have to get an adapter. I did ask him about a ground in the beginning , as in a copper rod in the ground connected. He said you don’t need it sir. ??Wow, yes 220 has killed a lot of people. Better double up on the safety.
Yes,happy birthday young lady. It’s a long and arduous road ahead with plenty of fun and games. As with all Filipinos I know you will keep your family close to your ❤️ 💜 ♥️ heart on your way down that road. 🙂

How much do it cost to live like you do? Have a place like your?
@@edwardsimmons7805 I bought the property in 2018 when land was cheaper, I retired and moved here in 2022 and built the house in 1 year. There has been a lot of inflation since then, so I will have to guess.
So this property is 1000sq. Meters. In 2018 I bought it for 1,000 peso a sq. Meter. 1 year later it was 2500 peso a sq. meter. I think it’s at 2500-3000 for waterfront now. You can probably get it for 1500 inland. Divide the 2500/57= $43.86 USD a sq. meter.
If you check my house build playlist you will see that the house is solid concrete reinforced with steel. I don’t like the hollow blocks or cinder blocks they make here. It cost a little more but it’s negligible. Otherwise you’ll have an ant farm. $100,000 to build this house approximately. That’s materials and labor. But that’s with me being on site as the contractor surveying the material stores everywhere for the best deal. And Gary my builder was just awesome. With inflation I’d say it would be $170,000 now. If you started today.
When I first met Gary I ask him what if we need plumber, electrician. He said. “ I KNOW ALL”. And he wasn’t kidding. He is a concrete man, carpenter, welder, electrician and plumber. Tree climber. He was a dream come true. On top of that. He is a workaholic and only missed 1 1/2 days in a year. Plus he is honest. So, sorry probably too much info. But I hope I answered your question.
you're there in the Philippines, make your own fertilizers......banana peels and garlic boiled to release nutrients, cooled down water and mixture poured around the mango trees.....
@@johnthomas5806 You sound experienced. I do throw the banana peels back to the banana stalks. I just put a little fertilizer I bought with a little nitrogen on everything. My 2 mango trees are only 3feet tall. Unfortunately the big mango was on a slope and the roots were exposed. It was a house killer. So had to chop it. I’m raising its babies.
@@johnthomas5806 Also I mulch the banana stalks in the plants.
@@johnthomas5806 That mixture is just for mango or anything ?
Its blue so energy weapons wont burn it.
you are better buying the metal bush cutter blade
I wish I can find it. I think that my machine has to be the bigger more expensive one to put the blade on.
I have one, they are awesome 😊

62 to freedom tomorrow! My birthday! Still here in wisconsin! You have been an inspiration to me! July of next year I will be joining you in the Philippines!October of this year we will stay there for 6 weeks! I am taking my time and getting my departure checklist done! Currently I am laid off because of inflation and lack of sales. Till September 30th. So the time will pass quickly. Anyways just keeping you updated. I don5😢know what the future holds but may God be with you and me.
@@scottmoede5316 Hey, Happy Birthday Scott. Hopefully we will have many more. Yes the checklist was a big stress point for me. Luckily houses were selling well and I sold my car at CARMAX. I don’t know how it is now but they gave me an inspection and written offer. After getting the offer I had 30 days to turn the car in. That was a big help.
@@scottmoede5316 I heard carmax went thru some changes since then. They gave me more than blue book value for my Camero. Good luck to you.
Scott, if you retire here you should send a box of that great Wisconsin cheese because here the cheese is inferior. 😊

@@bobbq9290 Man I’m licking my chops. I must be part monkey. 😀
Never get tired of those sunsets! What's the neighbor doing with their property? Seems like no movement in all the time I've been following your channel... Lots of potential there with a little TLC and maybe a lot of money! James and Mel location is nice too, like you have... They've done an immense amount of work over the years to protect the beachfront... But it's a constant battle when storms hit... Your location is a bit more protected, at least for the storms to now... With the extra steps you've taken, I think you are okay for the moment... Middle of the week, pushing on to make it another productive one here... On Day 3 of current fasting regimen, up to almost 13 kilos gone... Combining that with supplements, ACV, natto mix, and lower carb diet when eating... Goal is to be able to jump over tall buildings in a single bound like in the Army days, haha... 😂😂😂 Anyway...Minnesota Nice signing off... BTW, Harris' running mate (Mn Governor) is a pretty cool dude! He's a Vikings fan, a retired Sergeant Major, teacher, football coach, and a nice guy... Really glad to see this... TC... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
@@smartbiz888 13 kilos in 3 days. Is that possible ? That’s over 28 lbs ! I got news for you, you are already Superman. Harris and her VP are a little too radical for me and I’m glad I’m outta there.Neither side is optimal although I like the way Harris talks but if she had Trumps policies that would be perfect to me. Get rid of Trumps mouth and Harris views. Anyway, let me know how you lost that much weight. I lost 25 lbs in 21 days juicing fruit and veggies a couple years ago. It was expensive in the US though. I might try it here again. Wow 13 kilos. Did you jog the whole 3 days ??? 😀
About the neighbors property they come there occasionally, the last time was a couple of nuns. I hear they will make a kind of party place for birthdays and parties. They have changed their tune a couple times.
@@62tofreedom51 I do a swim 3x a week and walk 3x a week... The fasting forces your body into autophagy... This is where it uses all the unnecessary cells to create energy since no food... I also am taking supplements to counteract the arteries clogging up over the years... The condition has gotten worse, plus gaining weight, so decided to address this head on... I'm sure I'll not get back to top condition, but want to hang around in this time a little bit more! 😜 Plus I actually feel better... The juicing is helpful, and losing weight will lessen the stress on your heart... But... It ain't easy... I got a mail in from KFC and almost ordered a double bucket... But then I decided to save the $45 and make a batch of chicken soup haha... Yeah on the coming election, let's see... I can connect with Walz for a number of reasons, but not perfect by any means... Same on glad overseas... No desire to live over there again... Visit, yes... 30 days a year to remain tax free! 😉 TC and good luck losing some weight! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
@@62tofreedom51 Hmmmm... Waste of property, but hey, if that's what turns their wheels... 👍😎👍
@@smartbiz888 13 kilos, what is the secret ?
😊
Those are some mean looking clouds! Lots of rain and bad weather with the two storms... Hunker down! I'm busy, but I'm taking time out to check out the only other Vikings fan I know of in the Philippines, lol! Busy executing Operation SMART, and it's given me new life and motivation... Next year, we'll head down your way when we have a break from the storm of activity... How're the Vikings going to do this season, you think? Pundits have us losing the first 8 games????? Don't see that happening... SKOL... 💪💪💪 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
@@smartbiz888 OMG, yes they are picking us last. My dream is our defense can put a lot of pressure on and keep the score low. Then, our revamped running game can also help the QB situation. Lastly Darnold redeems his career and can manage enough drives to keep us in the game. Aaron Jones is no slouch if he can stay on the field. Wow the stock market is crazy right now , you better be careful. Hope you make it around here. Texas Filipina commented back to me about a visit somehow. I’m trying to think of the best way. Good luck on your venture.
Did you see any sharks since you live there?
No sharks yet. It’s salt water but the locals say there are none. I do think sharks like cooler water.

Yea,I’m not doing any vaccine. I want my system to be strong on its own.
In the Philippines if you don't pay monthly fees they remove the bones and thorw it in the dumpster, making room for the next victim, heartless people.
You can just buy the place and your family can join you when they pass. That’s how it is in this area.
The small ones are for the bones because you don't buy you rent. So you get kicked out of one and your family can put you in another.
