    I recently lost my job at the age of 45. In addition to having access to Tricare and VA healthcare, I also receive a 9K military pension. I'm thinking of selling or renting my house and moving overseas with my cash, assets, and 401(k). What are some good passive income opportunities?

      I'm not sure whether I should merge all of my investing accounts into one. If so, what should I know and how should I respond to this? In addition, I intend to sell my property, which might potentially fetch an additional $200,000. Is it better to put everything in one account or spread it out among several investments?

      These are important questions for a financial planner. I met mine at a summit, and with her assistance, my wife and I reallocate our $1.7 million assets between a regular IRA and a brokerage account. She has been handling the investment with our agreement and has helped us recover twice as much as we lost. Currently holding steady and gently navigating the market.

    I've been to almost all the countries in SE Asia. I plan a 59-day trip back to the Philippines in March because of the amazing people and it's English speaking. But, compared to other affordable SE Asian countries, it's 3rd world. The food is terrible, the traffic/noise unbearable, the health care sub-standard, and the infrastructure unreliable. Filipinos deserve better.

      People are so lazy…do your research, it takes less than a minute:
      To apply for a Special Resident Retiree's Visa
      (SRRV) in the Philippines, you must meet the following requirements:
      • Be at least 35 years old
      • Make a deposit at a Philippine financial institution
      • Complete a DFA Medical Examination Form No. 11
      • Obtain certification from a PRA-shortlisted bank that the deposit was made o
      The amount of the deposit required depends on your age and whether you have a pension:
      • 35-49 years old: Deposit USI$50,000
      • 50 years or older with a pension of at least
      USI$800 per month or USI$1,000 for couples:
      Deposit USI$10,000
      • 50 years or older without a pension: Deposit
      USI$20,000 •
      You can get the medical examination from a licensed physician in the Philippines, a PRA-accredited clinic in Manila, or in your home country if it's translated into English and authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate. ®
      The SRRV is not permanent, but it can be renewed annually for a small fee. After ten years, you can apply for citizenship in the Philippines.
