I have 3 children in the states and i care for them very much even though they are adults and have their own lives now and i am very proud of them.
That would be THE toughest part of being an ex-pat. Kids back home. Family. As you say, adults or not.
You're lucky. My ex did a number on our kids minds.
I left the USA (Pennsylvania) 8 years ago and I have no intentions of ever going back to a broken country, a broken system and a broken family. Do what you got to do and get back as soon as possible. I wish you all the best!
I’m with you!! Never returning
I want to join you, but the biggest break in the system is all the elites addiction to BEach house Collections. They pass 20 billion, here, 120 billion there, 50 billion over there and everyone gets paid off through shell companies. Eventually I fear our money will be worthless. What will I do in the Philippines then?
I have enough to retire there for 30 years, but do I really?
Please, the Philippines is not perfect and the USA is not that broken. Try to get a title for some land here and you will worship the system in the USA.
@@coreyh7323I have a military pension for about $2,000 a month. But, how much in savings should I save up before permanently moving to the Philippines?
@@HarryJarrell Broken nonetheless and it's weird to say someone will worship the system here even though people do it but that's mostly blind followers and their religion known as patriotism
6 years i have not seen my kids. i have been fighting the Judge, The Sheriff, The Clerk of court, my attorneys of which one was disbarred! i been unlawfully imprisoned, lost a great job, a pension, world class health care. in total I am out over 1 million dollars. I truly understand Sunshine! Thank You!
Let's hear your story....
Dude….are you on the most wanted list?
@@KeepItSimpleSurvivalI would totally like to hear that crazy back story….
I concur completely. My story is very similar.
@@henrymcmiller2527 ok... Let's Hear Your Story...
I have been in PH for 16 years. I do NOT miss all the craziness in America...
Thanks for reminding everyone that it’s not all rainbows and roses, and that life keeps on moving no matter where you are. I wish you luck Calvin
I could never stay here in the Philippines that long. It’s nice here but I miss the US. I miss the food, climate, less traffic, less people…many things. Good luck Calvin.
the less traffic thing is absurd. LA and NYC have some of the worst traffic in the world. There are provinces that have almost no traffic in the Philippines. Same with the amount of people. You have a weird way of looking at the world.

There’s nothing weird about reality. This is my third time here in the Philippines Ive been in the same place and where I am the traffic is terrible and there’s way too many people so there’s nothing weird about the truth. I’m sure there’s a lot of other places that have open spaces but I’m not there. Plus, it’s very hot here. I don’t live in New York City or in LA. I live in the countryside in Tennessee where it’s absolutely like a paradise so to me this is like a New York City or an LA, which I would never live in.
@@donclemons7637 it is super easy to move in the Philippines to a new Island. Why on earth would you return to the same place 2 times once you saw it was overcrowded with terrible traffic?
I live on 70 acres just outside of a town of 1300 people on the Oregon Coast. Not much traffic except during tourist season. I have also lived in the Philippines in places with far less traffic and less people. The weather here never approaches the temp and humidity of the Philippines. But Tennessee does.
If you lose weight, the warm humid weather will not bother you that much. I am selling everything and moving to the Philippines for good. Bad stuff has come to America. And it will keep getting worse like a snowball going down a steep hill. The lefties are destroying the cities and most likely they will get us nuked as well. Tennessee will not be a good place if that happens.
Life in the PH provinces can be very peaceful except for the roosters. But if you get enough land, that won't matter. The cool thing is, no one starves in the provinces. When the world economy implodes, that city you stayed in while in the PH will not be a good place and most likely Tennessee will not be either. Europe is headed for a major recession. If the winter is cold this year, it will do major damage as they now pay 4 times more for natural gas than they did 2 years ago.
I live where nukes and their effects most likely won't hit. But It will still be a struggle in the USA in near future. Perhaps next time you go to the PH, you might check out other Islands.
I wish you the best of success,
@@BologneseJones And no expat who is living in the Philippines has to live in a crowded city. You have to compare apples with apples. To say, as he did, that he could never stay that long in the Philippines because it is crowded and has bad traffic is like saying everyone in the USA lives in NYC.
If you read my other post to him, I live in a small town in Oregon and have lived in smaller towns in the Philippines. He has lived in the same place there 3 times. That's absurd. Why would any expat choose to live where they don't like it?
Calvin, a couple of things I learned early on in my travels is to take plenty of reading material, load up on the movies and, probably most importantly, DO NOT focus on the time. It helped to make those lengthy flights more bearable. I wish you safe travels and hope that you're able to resolve all of your issues before returning back to the PI.
My little trick is to stay awake a long time before the trip and when on board try to stay awake another few hours then when you sleep you get alot of sleep and then you wake up have something to eat and a few hours later before you know it you're landing. Works for me makes the journey less difficult and stressful. Imo.
I take caffeine tabs and benadryl tabs, and I use start forcing myself onto the Philippines time zone as soon as I get to the US airport for departure.
Thanks for your advice.
I hate airports. Except Tokyo ain't bad.
Do what you got to do bro. You will still have challenges, but you are mature enough to know how to deal with them. As an adult, knowing your choices would be your fault, failure, or success! Your choices lean more toward the success side! I believe this!
Peace be with you Calvin, be safe and stay awesome
Take care of your business Calvin! We are still here to support you! Good luck and keep us updated on your journey!
I spend every 6 months in the Philippines and 4 months in Arkansas. I think it's better to live in the Philippines every 6 or 7 months and return to the states because you get the best of two worlds. medical or just to see friends or family will help you missed the Philippines more. you are doing the right thing, so God bless.
❤
You have the best approach going back and forth especially if it causes NO financial issues.
Sounds good to me, Spending 3 to month's in the Philippines 🇵🇭 because not retired yet but when I am it'll be 6 months in the UK, 6 month's in the Philippines 👍🏾
Hey Calvin, my name is Bob Fears and I’m also going home to Louisville. It’s been almost five years for me also. I’m going to stay with my sister in Middletown Ohio. I’m a vet and am going to doctors at the VA. I was born in Louisville and lived there all my life except for eight years in high school and the Air Force. We leave January 27th and looking forward to it. We got a great price on JAL for our flight. Good luck!
Have a comfortable trip home!
Bob good luck. I would stay in Fairfield, much nicer than Middletown. Good infrastructure where Middletown is getting run down. I just returned also and I am living in Florida as I left Ohio years ago and will visit relatives but not going back.
Best of luck brother, I pray you are able to resolve these matters with ease. Your analogy of "one foot here, one foot there" is golden. Take care, safe travels!
I'm happy that you will see your family & see real time on what's going on here. You always have my support and I am still coming to the Philippines but had some delays. No distance will keep good people apart.
Good luck Calvin, I hope you get to take care of all your things that need to be done, sometimes life is tough and problems arise, take care of business and then come back to your life in the Philippines which you love.
Hey Cal. I can relate to everything you are saying because Im in the same shoes. I have been in AC for about 2 years now but will eventually have to make a trip back home to America to also take care of some unfinished business that I really should have completely taken care of before I moved here... but it will all work out. I wish you well.
I feel you. I can't stay anywhere in the US for longer than 5 years. Thanks for the tip. Do it man . Go take care of things . You're not wrong . People forget why they don't want to be here, paying taxes and dealing with rude humans
I am so excited to see your videos from Kentucky. I miss the Philippnes, but I am working hard here in the States to live there permanently. Ingat, Calvin, and salamat.
Wow !!! I understand you need to take care of your business. Nothing more crazy as pending issues keeping u up at night. I am sure once things are cleared up you will return to appreciate paridise with your family even more. The main thing is to stay safe in the matrix as you will see soon things are still crazy. Love your content and will still continue to support you. 👍👍🙏🙏
Be safe in your travels, Calvin!
Do what you need to do Calvin.
I hope you can get done what you need to do there un US.
I may not have meet you personally, but it diffinately on my bucket list.
Take care, stsy safe brother.
Regards to family and yiur closest friends there.
I LOVE THIS ....TO SEE A MAN THATS STILL CONNECTED AND HAS LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY.....TOO MANY OF THE GUYS OVER HERE FORGET ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THEY LEFT BEHIND.......
When I leave the United States for travel, I feel like I am as small as my luggage. As I start out to the airport to leave the United States, I leave everything I worked so hard for like my home, my nice neighbor and my worldly possessions including my status and when I get off the plane to enter the Philippines, I feel humble and down to earth and its feels like I'm accepted as I am. You can really get lost in a good way. Then as soon as my visit is over, my blood pressure increases because The United States is such a war and conquering place to live. It lacks culture and its only about building your material status.
Cal have a great time in the States I hope its all positive and wonderful for you. Im sure your wisdom is deeply needed and I hope you all the very best my friend.
very well said. we leave the US with what we need, what we have, less stress and disconnecting from the fear news cycle. I liked how you said you feel as small as your luggage. i understand your thoughts and appreciate them
I feel the exact same way whenever I’m there. It just feels right.
I'm in the States now just got back and leaving asap. Booking my ticket soon to go back Phil. Will visit my kids, do Christmas 🎁⛄ and get my place ready as I can for my long absence. Next time l come I want my wife with me. So visa top concern.
I have income generating project I need to finish. But I need my with me worse. And she needs to do her 5 yrs here to get my SS death bene..and her son.
your a good man and I think any and all people who know you that you are a piller of strength and a good role Model ,Please take care of your family and enjoy your friends ,Ill keep looking for your future videos
Don’t worry man. You’ll have a lot of catching up to do with your friends and family stateside. Will be nice to watch your journey Calvin.
Ur a cool cat Calvin. Wishing you safe travels to America. Enjoy ur stay. I've been to Louisville many times. Just prepare yourself for the Colder Weather especially in December. Good luck.
You're a good man Calvin.
I've enjoyed your posts and found them pretty useful as I plan my own exploratory trips. Sounds like you've got some pretty solid reasons to head back. Gotta respect that. Hope you're able to get these things settled. Safe travels!
Best wishes Calvin ! Come on down back to the states. Take care of your business. Thanks for the inspiration!
Congratulations on your decision to travel back for a visit, and very sorry to hear about your Sister's health situation, and also about your Grandson. Hopefully they both will do well with what they are dealing with! Also, your camera is giving an Awesome picture. It must be good for you to hear Marilyn already saying how much she will miss you! The average woman over here in the USA...would be asking her man how soon can he Leave!!😂😂🤣🤣
I completely understand everything you've said TH-cam Uncle Calvin. I am skeptical about when I leave the US and retire for good in either the Philippines or Thailand. I've been grinding and saving for my ENDGAME thing, and once I leave, I'm finished... I don't think I'll come back.
Take care , take care of that family. Big hugs and happy Holidays ❤
thank you for everything
Hi Calvin my name is also Calvin. You said "can't live in 2 places at the same time" I am only here since July but it has been hard especially because of my family issues in america. I just bought my ticket back leaving Febuary 2 from clark/Angeles city back to New York City. Anyway Glad you are who you are . Best wishes.
Wish you well and that everything goes well calvin
I had a similar issue with an unauthorized iPhone charge with AT&T. It was $2500 too. I found out quickly because I have credit monitoring. I filed a police report, disputed the charge, and put a credit freeze with the credit bureaus.
Thanks for the information. It bugs me being so far away and something like this happens.
Thanks for the update Calvin! See on across the pond!
Of course you’re going home. We all will go home eventually, for whatever reason. But you will be back, just like everyone else. This place gets in your blood. 🇵🇭
Good for you Calvin, its time and you know it. Good you work things on your terms. You’ll do just fine! I will be looking forward to your YT work while there. Im sure you’ll make it all interesting.
Thanks Philip. Are you on your cruise? Take care.
@@calroach1 sure am. Left Hong Kong last night and will arrive in Da Nang Vietnam sometime tomorrow morning. Been sick since the cruise started. Probably covid but its knocked me down. 9 days now so I’m starting to feel better.
Be safe Bro Calvin. @phillipcooper3330 is was in Ho Chi Min yesterday via NCL Jewel. Two hours to city from port. Take care.
This is so relatable and understood.
I have been planning to relocate to another country for a few years now. Handle the loose ends before making that move.
I hope all goes well for you, Calvin.
Good to see you big bro. Travel light. Get back home (Philippines) soon.
Good luck and take care of your business!! You will go back faster then you think after you see the mess over here good luck and stay safe
Hey Calvin...sorry about the series of events taking place in your life. Wishing you all the best, and want you to know you're in my prayers. May God guide you and comfort your heart with peace.
Be safe, and I hope everything gets in order
Thanks for the heads up.
Be careful in your travels & return safely to both homes.
Oh, I think many of us go up in our own heads too much at times.
Also, thanks for the heads up on returning to America once in awhile. I had not thought about that aspect of living in the Philippines.
Take Care, be blessed.
God Bless you brother
safe travels and a productive trip
Amping Ka brother Calvin.
Thanks Mo.
You gotta do what you gotta do brotherman. Trust your gut cuz your gut will never lie to you.
Do what you need to do Calvin you won't have peace if you don't I'm going home next June after 2 Years here to see my adult daughter and adult grands and brother and sister it's just something we need to do safe travels and be blessed ✈️🙏
Thanks for all the years of your work, I really enjoy them and it has given me a great insight into philippines. I been going to the Philippines for the past 14 years . I have PTSD and anxiety attack for the military . What I take for this 22 hours flight is Benadryl 50 mg po and Motrin 100mg po , I sleep like a baby. Look it up and do your research, the benadry relax me and the motrin keep my from getting cramps in the small flight chair and help to prevent blood clots. Thanks you for your vlog and good luck.
My brother, appreciate the update. Safe travels and I do know you will handle your business. Much love, peace.
Have a safe trip brother thank you for always be upfront real & honest. I can’t wait to see your blog back in the states.
Calvin, I fully believe in your honesty. Much respect.
Safe travels. When back home in Louisville, be patient. Critical thinking will resolve your issues.
I am praying for positive outcomes and health in your family.
Trials and Tribulations Brother. Trust in God!
Best wishes Calvin, hope it all work out well for you n yours..
For Identity Theft you don’t need to file a police report to get it removed from your credit report. There’s a more updated method you can do online to getting Rid of Identity theft items on your credit report. For example, filing a complaint report with the CFPB + filing with FTC report. All done online. Unwanted items on your credit report are usually eliminated within 30 days.
It's definitely time for you to go see about the kin folk stateside, I'm sure your family will be happy to see you, Philippines will still be there when you get back
Be blessed and safe. Prayers for you and your family.
Safe travels Calvin. Have fun!!
Good Luck ,Calvin.
Calvin, we wish you the best. You are a good man and I will pray for you and your family
So sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she comes through ok as many have.
good luck Calvin. Hope it all works out for you.
Wow very honest review
typically if she doesn't file, the longer your married for and the more she gets when she actually does file. I hope your problems are solved soon, so you can continue showing us what life is like out side the states! thank you for showing us what's possible!
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
I wish you all the best Mr. Calvin…you deserve the best.
Prayers and success on your future endeavors brotha.
All good Cal. It's good to go home every once and a while - connect with friends and family back home.
Hey Sunman it's good to chat you again. Yes Po I understand what your saying it's just something you need / have to do . Go handle your business and come back stronger & better for it bro . God Bless & Mabuhay
That is some beautiful green background scenery!
Good for you and Good luck.
Calvin you deserve to visit your homeland have fun with your family.
Wish you the best on your trip back home. Hopefully you still have a jacket to bring with you because it's going to be chilly when you get back home to Chicago. Thanks for all the info and your perspectives. Hope to see you back soon.
I'll be living with my Filipino laty in the Philippines , 💕🥰💋
I'm excited to see Calvin walk from the Philippines to the States and take video of the whole thing :)
🤣🤣🤣💪🏾
Good luck Calvin!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Sad to hear Calvin

Makes perfect sense! I understand
Be careful enjoy yourself!
Im praying for you and your families safe return and hope you come back soon to the PI
Thanks brother!
Hope everything goes well and all your objectives are achieved back in U.S.
Good luck and safe travels, when that Chicago cold hits you it will remind you of why you left.
Safe travels brotha
Don't look at it like you have to deal with this (exclusively at least) but rather see it as part of this crazy and amazing journey of Life and that you GET to experience this. There most definitely WILL be things that come out of this that will make the victory that much greater.
Also, this is ALL "free" material for the book series and channel.
You inspire me big bruh.
You got this.
One Love.
💪🏿👊🏿💯👑
It's a part of life at some point it's time to move on. We all wish you well and your mission in the Philippines is accomplished you have helped alot of people and saved lives. Good luck and God bless you.
Calvin, good luck now and in the future.
Love to you. I hope things don't build up back home where I came from (UK). Life's good now and I thank God for letting me come here. But yeah, you don't want things hanging over your head. We all get that. God bless and may it all work out good.
Have a safe trip.
Prayers with you brother sunshine ✊🏾🙏🙏🤠
Right on Calvin. Do what you think is right. God bless you and your family.
still be here supporting
Respect!!!
Thank you Sir for the advice 🇺🇸🪖🫡
Good luck Calvin. We had to go back to the USA last April for my brothers funeral. We spent 2 weeks there and we couldn't wait to get back to home in the Philippines. I hope your visit will be good for you, but I expect you will be wishing you were back here soon.
Thank you Calvin! Hope to see you at a meetup in Feb to May timeframe
good luck brother. God speed. best of luck in the states.
Will continue to look for updates on your vids be safe going.
Safe travels Sir!!
Calvin, You are an honorable man and honorable men "take care of business". Know that your subscribers wish you Godspeed and a quick return to Marilyn and your good Philippines life! Best.
Thank you sir. All the best to you.
