- Being rich in the Philippines is not about money and at the same time it's all about money. It's one of the last places on earth where a working man can live like a king. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. 3800/monthly is considered rich but it's a reference point in my vlog. How much you are above or below that amount should tell you where you stand. I didn't mean to confuse anyone it's not a budget video. Take care.
@Sunshine Shoulders, I emailed you a long time ago when you had the female relative of your GF in a video looking for a foreigner relationship. She rebuffed me but did hook me up with her friend. I learned when chatting with her friend I needed minimum $3,000 a month to live middle class life style in the PI. I ended the chatting as I wasn't going to have that kind of income from my SS. She never asked for a dime and I never offered per your warning to never send money to Filipina LDR who you haven't met in-person first. You saved me some money brother Calvin with your warning.
@@mr.k8625 I'm planning on a budget of $1,600 to $1, 800. I could tap my 401K with $250K, but I would prefer not to do that as it generates about $300 to $400 a month in income.Plus I'd like to leave that money for my 2 boys when I kick the bucket.
You state that a retiree can have the woman (singular) of his dreams for $3800 a month. What are you referring to that would carry that price? I understand that it would be expensive to lead a bargirl lifestyle, but didn't expect to hear that cost cited for living with just one woman.
He's just saying for that kind of money you can live like a king but realistically 1000 to $1500 is a good budget just make sure you have money for an emergency
Does Filipinos speak Spanish
I totally agree with you Calvin...
I am a 63 year old retired US ARMY VETERAN,
A *N.Y.C. 🇵🇷 Bronx Boy living comfortabally on $2,000 usd. in the Province in Cebu.
@Neil Stewart Hi Neil,have you been already in the Phils.If their is an international health insurance in the US maybe much better to ah e it before your going in the Phils.
I've lived in the Philippines for 5 years now. I live on around $1000 - $1200 a month. I honestly don't think I could spend $3800 a month here, even if I tried
It depends where you live and how you live.$1000 it's rich to the limit
Thinking of retirement in the Philippines I probably have 1800 a month to retire . Is this good for retirement there?
@Justin Cappellini ok yes thank you my girlfriend lives in padagian city she has a daughter and owns her house
@Justin Cappellini yes I plan on coming in October hopefully the travel is open staying in Manila for about 2 weeks
@@justincappellini994 wow
As a general rule. In terms of what your USD can purchase. In Manila/Makati area - its like 2X purchase power compared with living in the US. In Cebu, its like 3-4X. Davao, Clark, Iloilo, Northern Mindanao, Dumaguete is like 4-6X. Beyond that, in the provinces, you're looking at 10X but then there isn't much to buy. Lol.
@Jerald Macachor: Agree; I purchased a two-bedroom Condo at The Fort 10 years ago for $200,000. The Fort has great entertainment, restaurants, shopping, and St Lukes's hospital. All within walking distance.
I love the Philippines. I travel to Manila often. My plan is to get my retirement visa when it opens up there again. Luckily I have very good friends there with very good connections. I'm retired here in NY. But I only make $1500 a month. Here that is basically poverty. But there I will be ok. Hoping to get back there soon.
Good choice, , 😀
@@lanieaguisanda6221 If that's not a Filipina name... 😃
Bra 1500$ no enough
Every time I visited my family in the Philippines at least I have10000$ just for a month
You should be comfortable living with $1,000 per month (about 50,000 pesos) in The Philippines, provided you live "normally". You cook your own dish, perhaps 2-3 times to the restaurant, and you budget the rented house at $100-$200. You can in fact live with less than $1,000. Most Filipinos do not earn 50K pesos/month. The average salary here is about 20K.
Retiring in the US on a pension will never be enough to survive. I have seen many retirees who cannot stop working to pay their mortgage. Most jobs are contract with no retirement benefits. It is sad to see "American dream" is a nightmare. I am retired but chose to live in the Philippines. I am flying out of the country in two weeks.
You’re supposed to pay your house off before you retire.
@@elpacho....9254 Dont be a slave to it. If you can sell the bastard and leave.
@@brucehardy890 that’s always an option.
Great subject Calvin! My definition of being rich is to wake up each day knowing that you have all you need to be comfortable, healthy and safe. Knowing your kids are in good shape and I’m able to make a difference in their lives. I thank God everyday feeling like this each day! Take care!
Really like your videos Calvin. Im born in the Philippines. I reside right now in California. I go there once a year. but this video reminds me of how much more relaxed Filipinos are compared to Americans. Americans are always such in a hurry when they are out and about.
Communist California, shit hole of Amerika
@@irenewestcott7917 do you know how many countries capitalist usa bombed and invaded?
including philippines?
@@irenewestcott7917 lmao just curious, what's communism? Which communist country in the world has homelessness? Or even like cali? These are pretty basic questions. Show us that US education system.
Thanks Calvin. Looking forward to being a neighbor in another year or so. For the people that don't believe you I think oftentimes many are are way to scared to move to another country. So much so it literally prevents them for making the move. Which suits me find. lol
just be careful with women.. i hope u find a good partner if u plan to marry a local here.
I went to Dumaguette and Siquijor in 1994. At that time there were only a few tricycles in Dumaguette and I had to sleep in an old Spanish house which was the only lodging. The entire island of Siquijor had no electricity at that time, not even in the beach resorts.
Nice to see people out and about. And I'm definitely ready to get my piece of paradise.
I make $3800 a month but after all the bills paid rent and all I got $200 bucks left in my wallet FOR GAS!!!.. 😆
Calvin, you done it again on another great seminar of education. I really enjoyed the concept of being rich in dollar value in the Philippines. I know down the line you will show upper middle, middle class dollar values too. I believe you because, having I lived there before too. To me, I apologize if I am getting in advance on future videos from you. The concept of at least having 50,000 pesos ($1,000) a month there in the Philippines will get you in pretty great shape there in living good. The believes now many Americans and other foreigners have to realize that, when you retire, it is best to retire overseas like the Philippines and several other places too. Because the example of the dollar value as compared to many countries in the world will go farther. Now, in America, you see many who suffer with social security retirement payments. If they took a chance and retire in the Philippines they can live minimum as a knight, prince, princess, Queen or King lifestyle. Thank you Calvin for keeping me focus on retiring in the Philippines estimates around 2025. Now time to share this great video. Enjoy the life with family, friends Calvin brother in the Philippines. Happy for you.
This is such a great video, good information for everyone. Is good that you are showing some parts outside to give us a different perspective of life in the Philippines. Everyone looks like they are enjoying themselves. I frankly can't wait to get the heck out of the US. My rent here is 1,400 a month, for a 2 bedroom apartment. And you are right. The US is just way to expensive for a person to have a stress free life. The cold also doesn't help when you have injuries. I really hope they open the Philippines soon.
I prat for your journey soon everything will be open💓
@little drane is to hot to live in Oklahoma, Texas has cheap rent too, also Utah. But people don't want to live in those places, that's why the rent is lower. Back in 2005 rent was $600 in Pennsylvania. But not anymore.
How sweet it is even just to see people enjoying themselves out and about, let's pray it continues with out interruption, good talk real talk✌️
The Filipinos are really wonderful people.
They are welcoming and polite people.
I love the place and people.
The problem is when foreigners come and want to make it like the place that they came from.
Keep your way there and come there and be like a Pinoy.
The KENS are problem #1.
Some are perverted, arrogant and disrespectful and they own everywhere.
Only things I hate about the philippines are that the businesses cheat you out of money. Like the airlines not giving a penny of credit when you need to cancel days in advance, when they used to give 50%. Or a restaurant giving a different salad that what I asked for but still charging for the rejected and replacement salad. Or buying outdated soy milk that turned out to be spoiled but refused to refund. Or a scooter rental telling me to bring the gas back at 3/4 where it was when I rented, then keeping my deposit for bringing it back at 3/4 tank. Or the hotel claiming I took 22 water's out of the fridge when I took less than 10 and keeping all the dark chocolate bars I left in the fridge by mistake (Cant buy true dark chocolate in Phil). And then try converting $100 US bills at the bank and see how they examine each one like a dermatologist examines you for skin cancer. It will drive you crazy as they reject one after the other. If you cash out for hundreds at home, make sure the bank gives you new ones and make sure you don't even make the slightest smudge on it or the slightest wrinkle or dog ear on a corner, or you will be getting 10k peso hits at the atm with fees.
What is KENS?
Our living expenses was less than $500 a month. That includes everything. internet, meds, cigs. I mean everything. This was in San Juan, Batangas
We're Expat living stickly with my SS and US Government pension. We were able to buy an acre of land and build our own home in the Province of Batangas. We have a house keeper and a gardner. We never considered our self rich. We are seniors living a comfortable life. Will never have this relaxing lifestyle in San Francisco. Our advice is to learn how to leave like the locals. Save your money in America and do not over spend. Our monthly budget is $1500. My pension money is kept in America. Can you imagine how much savings we accumulated for four years.
The Philippines is a diamond in the rough. They have so much potential there. It's limitless! It won't be a secret for much longer! A lot of people have caught on or are catching on!
Island tourism can add much to alleviate poverty in the Philippines but it's not been happening.
@@joeawk ;
Thanks for the great footage Calvin! It looks very peaceful and relaxing!
Living for 10 years in the PHILIPPINES. You need at least 2000usd per month for a normal, comfortable life.
2000 usd for one person or for little family?
That's funny. However you try to justify being there, Filipino's know the only reason foreigners are there is because they can't make it back home, either financially or romantically, or both. Most Filipinos would do anything to come to the USA.
P191K is 3 to 4 times my income here 😱 and I think I live like a king already. 🤴 Good Walking Tour 👍
Absolutely
Since Year 1980 to Present day I have lived in the Philippines on and off, more than half of my adult life. My wife and I are now snowbirds and divide our time between homes in the USA and the Philippines. This video popped up on my Filipina wife's Google site and she insisted we watch the video together. We are impressed with the video and its content. We really enjoyed the video. Oh, my wife and I live in a highrise condo, located above a nice size mall. Our basic monthly budget is approx 61,000 pesos per month. We own our unit, so no rent or housing loan payment.
I work in European country. Based on my experience I can say, I can afford things which I was not able to afford when I worked in Philippines. But I can't say rich. But for foreigners Expats, when you live simple lifestyle then you can afford and be rich and can live life in comfortable way.
But you'd be extremely lucky if you found a wife or a husband that is not extravagant or who doesn't live as one day millionaire and lives strategically (madiskarte in filipino).
I agree with you sir.
Hi Calvin, the swab procedure is different now than 2020. They dont go as deep in your noseas in the beginning of pandemic. I had swab test earlier this year and it was not painful/uncomfortable.
Doctors and Lawyers make an average of about 45,000 PHP/month in the Philippines or 900 USD. Military Generals make about 121,000 PHP/month or 2,400 USD.
Let that sink in.
My retirement is $5,500.00. Rich for here yes it is. Do I live better here than the U.S. hell yes. Can I have peace of mind? Well yes i can pay my bills. I've been here 20 years. Your best friend is the word no and 24 hours a day 7 days a week somebody somewhere is trying to figure out a way to get your money fact! So you do have to stay on your toes, eyes in back of your head and never ever get complacent about your security.
Beautiful promenade. The cost of living is on the top of the list of reasons for coming to PI. Although prices are going up everywhere, PI is still a desirable retirement location for all the reasons you mentioned.
I've seen alot of vloggers talking about living in the Philippines on budgets in the neighborhood of $500 or $1200. Seems to me you really need alot more than that to live comfortably. When I retire, my combined TSP, SS and Pension will amount to about $5000 per month income. I suspect I could live pretty well on that without having to stress and that's what retirement should be: STRESS FREE!
500 is a stretch and I wouldn't suggest you do that but 1200 is very doable under the right circumstances. Your 5000 monthly would be outrageous over here under any circumstances 🤣
$5000? its the salary of Filipino Gen. Manager of American company that has business office here in the Phils. You will be rich here.
You can live like a king on half of that (USD $2,500) in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Bank the rest as inheritance for your future Philippina wife and kids.
Wow ,that is a new perspective,I've been all over Philippines, love culture, food peacefulness but never looked at it that way.
With that being said you have to be careful not to be an ATM for people that will come to u with every problem under the sun.
That's not just Phil's that's everywhere
I've noticed that most often when there is a discussion about retirement it almost always hinges on how much money one should accumulate in order to retire, but very rarely does it seem mention is made of the importance of lowering our standard of living in order to balance out the need for greater amounts of money.
I've often argued that, for most people, if you want to live in retirement like you lived when you were working, well, guess what, you have to keep working. But, if we're willing to do without the many wants we chased after and limit ourselves primarily to satisfying our needs, we'll find out that our needs are not as great as our wants, and we can get along just fine with less money. It requires an adjustment, and an adjustment that we should all start working on before we even leave our respective countries to go elsewhere.
Any money you save immediately losses 1/5 of its value by the decade, I'm reducing debt,
Ha ha. I moved to Southeast Asia from ALABAMA. :). I have not noticed much of a downtick in my standard of living. My paltry 2500 USD a month, seems to keep me well fed and satisfied in other respects, as well. I live in Thailand, but I want to move to the Philippines or someplace where they don't hate foreigners. :)
@@fazbell come in visit yu r 20th battle monument in New Zealand, at least for a beach n surf holiday,
I have been going to the Philippines for over 30 years, most of my friends are filipino americans here in my city. I lived in the cebu city for 4 years, i had to go to the hospital in cebu city. It was disgusting and they over charged me for nothing. Nobody mentions health insurance, if u do not have money saved for medical emergencies then u might have big problem. Unless u buy health insurance....beware
@@ajw9377 I agree! I have seen several vloggers in the Philippines talking about investing in stocks, starting a business, buying a cruise ship, getting into bitcoin, etc. It’s like they want to retire but still chase after that dollar bill! I thought retirement was about taking it easy in your golden years.
5000 a month here in the US and I have to live frugally. I, like you, enjoy helping people so if I get there I will live a frugal lifestyle and be able to help people in way I can't do in the US
Great video Calvin, nice to see people out and living their lives almost as normal, but not quite. enjoy your time in Dumaguete.
I am retired here. And you are right the cost of living here is affordable. Way more than in the USA. I am debt free here. My home and SUV are paid in full. But you must be wise with your money. I follow a budget. I look at rich as an abundant supply. And I have that. I am able to save half of my pension here which is super.
Calvin that looks like a fun place to take my kids.
Can't wait!
And grownups!
I've been using you Steve and a couple of the other guys to get as much information about traveling over the Philippines I I appreciate you in all your videos I seen that you were having a little issue over there with somebody messing with you I feel bad that people can't mind their own business I enjoy your blogs and your videos regarding the area and I think dumaguete would be the home base in a jump spot to visit the other Islands I am talking to a Filipino woman for the last month I was introduced by another friend of mine that is marrying a Filipino she is in Manila I am trying to understand the culture she was explaining to me about the food and about the bathroom facilities over there of what they use in the bathroom I was a little surprised but I guess it is now different than like camping I'm up in New York and it is no different a bear s**** in the woods a bear s**** in the woods that is what it is it is what it is in the Philippines I understand and I just have to change some of my American ways to adapt to the Philippines I've never used a bode she was explaining to me about it I've been learning from her and all you guys I really think that a Philippine woman is the best way for me to go the American women over here are two shot used and abused it is not the same way it used to be as I grew up I was raised old school an Old fashioned but it is different now in the United States the kids are different the people are different so I really would like to come over there someday and meet you Calvin I like what you have to say and I like how you present everything to us
Thank ye kindly Calvin for your honest and real look at life in the PI at the minute , I’ve spent most of my adult life working in America, Retired came back to Ireland where greed and corruption are part of daily lives on our Island don’t get me wrong greed and corruption are a virus in humanity that sadly won’t go away anytime soon, but the quality of live in parts of Asia especially the PI are a breath of fresh air , to think most of us struggle on our pensions here in the West. But without a doubt living within yer means in the PI would be grand, thank you Sir for posting, I’ll look forward to other posts. Sincerely SSGT Ret AMA. 🇮🇪☘️🇵🇭☘️🇺🇸
7 more years and Philippines here I come. I want the simple life. Leaving the USA mentality behind.
Thanks,
I appreciate you showing the city where I was born. Be retiring there this year. I have live in the California for 50 years. Retired USAF for 26 years.
Keep up the good work you have done and I will met you in the near future.
God bless

Hello Bro Calvin. Again very good content. Dont let the swab test stop your travel plans. I believe you may have had an new nurse perform it. The key is, close your eyes, deep breath then be calm. I have taken 12 swabs since this situation. One county clinic makes you swab yourself. I have given myself three swabs so far. All 12 negative. Still waiting to get back to Cavite. Looks like it wont be to next year. Take care to you and family.
Calvin do you think $2000 a month will afford you the same lifestyle 10 years from now if the dollar to peso ratio stays around 50 to 1?
10 years is a long time but not enough time to completely change this country so yes I believe it's doable. 2000/month here is balling
Right on Calvin..
It definitely the single working man's paradise. Not only can you travel all over the Philippines. Once covid over you can travel all over SE Asia. It almost all affordable and easy to get to from Cebu or Manila. Philippines near an airport is a great hub..
$3800USD!! Man, you are rich!! I live here with my wife and son on less than $350USD per month. We manage, but are NOT rich.
3800 would work for me in Florida sista keys beach 🏖️ I get 600 a month right now I live in a shellter Florida might be a better place to live ⛱️
I don’t live in the Philippines, but my wife and I have been visiting there since we’ve been married 1983, we have a home there. What I do notice is that the foreigners I meet, many of them Americans, are living off of Social Security of less than $1200 and no pension or little or no savings. Younger guys have come there hoping to make money just on TH-cam and little savings. I think you’re doing a great service by informing folks who want to travel or live in the Philippines what it takes to live comfortably. But unfortunately, what comes into play for many is the little head thinking for the big head.
You're a great man Sunshine Shoulders, you will be blessed beyond belief for all the good that you do :), thanks for your amazing videos and helping us to understand the Filipino culture, it's one of the worlds last few treasures.
I love this video.Im a working man like you bro !! Im retiring in 6 years from my blue collar job and God willing I should have around 5 or 6k per month.I will be 60 years old.I already have a a beautiful and sweet Filipina partner from Leyte thats 30 years old and treats me like gold.Life is good,but soon its going to be better.
Most people in america make less than 3800 a month
Wow!! Calvin I think I saw maybe 2 foreigners in this whole video. 🤔 I thank you for the view
Liked today's video. Jealous cause its 22 degrees here in Connecticut.
😂😂😂
Colder then that here in northern Vermont ! Lol
Calvin become more and more encouraged every time you give us perspectives on everyday living in the Philippines and the value it presents as opposed to living in the United States. So it is a year and a half maybe 2 years tops down the road, I cannot wait to get over there and experience the advantages of expat living. I love my wife, and she has a kind of twisted. Over here she is gamefully employed which means she can make lots of money for herself and to send back home to her family. But I'm trying to explain to her that once I get my pension and we move back to the Philippines unless she wants to continue working for her family there will be no need for her to work for our household we keep a tight budget we will be set and we will be able to live comfortably. Thanks to you for always providing vital information 💯
@@ryanjones7543 That is true. I did that with my Filipina wife and she loves it!
I fact, when I came to the Philippines in 1983, the rate was P7.32 to $1.00.
Now, with the exchange rate as it is, plus my pay increases, I am living a wonderful life! And my wife started raising pigs for her money. She is very, very happy! And almost never lets me out of her sight! I'm seen as "eye candy" here. She even makes sure the house girl goes with her if I don't feel like going anywhere.
@@ryanjones7543 La Union.
@Benny Neb Yes it’s true,I am planning Next yr to go back and retired even it’s not time.I don’t want to spend the rest of my life here n work till 67 yrs old.4 friends of mine leaved me now because of cancers,when we can relax n live a life without stress? Stay healthy n keep safe
@Benny Neb Yes I will thanks n God bless
You did it again Calvin this was a very nice video. Oh yeah, thanks for the lady shots. There’s some beautiful women over there. I’ll be glad when my passport comes back and they open up the borders again. It would be so nice to walk by the water in peace. I use to know what that was like,back in the day.
Wowee kuya we are so close hahahha enjoy the city kuya. And thanks for the information
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I will retire in 2 years at 55 years old, and with just my retirement and VA benefits pay I will bring in around 6k a month ( not even including social security due to me age) The P. I. Is high on my list, your vid’s really helps me to sort things out
You are absolutely right! Being rich means you have the financial and time freedom...Enjoy your stay and be safe!:)
Wow someone finally gets it. Thanks.
Damn... ...I make $3800/wk take home (net). But I can only make that kind of money here in America and I won't be retiring anytime soon.
I do miss the Philippines. I wish they're weren't going CraZy with their COVID-games 💉 over there so I could go back.
US Citizens Dollar salary vs Peso Value and Philippine worth of living has HUGE difference .. so yeah Foreigners specially Americans even if they are average in their Country is kind of rich here in the Philippines.
Thank you for your vlog, and enjoy the paradise, wish you know that people here in USA, has very stressful life, where as you have a very relax and serenity way of life, it comes to the point that retirement so good in Philippines, because dollars is almost triple in Philippines, soon , people realize that moving to Philippines is a very good option, thank you and “GOD” bless you
Thank you for your videos they give me a better understanding of my future home.
What is far more important than how much you have per month, is how much you start out with. Once you have your transportation, furniture, a gal, very easy to live on $800 a month.
Filipinos have the perception that Americans are rich. Yes I made more working in America than most Filipinos.
Money only goes so far so budget carefully.
I'm retired now an my home in the US is paid for but I also have a fiance in the Province of Isabela in the Philippines an a house an car, my income is more then $3800 per month but I can't see spending more than $1200 a month their an still enjoy living life
Another great video Calvin. I can hardly wait to move to the Philippines in the next couple of years.
Yes if you live other countries cost for living very expensive.. usa, singapore. Japan..that only frinking high cost for living.for me philippines is low budget i can live forever..
If you really looking for a girl that her family don't need some money sometimes, look for middle or above middle class because at least the family have business in city or a good farm. The family package happens when the girl siblings failed of the education or something.
$3,800 might make you rich in the PI, but how many Americans these days have that in passive income? I'd say very few.
Calvin you're like the Forrest Gump of the Philippines. 😆😆😆
Nice...thanks for sharing. Another 8 years to retire and I am going back to my Philippines.
Go for it!
The REAL value is the atmosphere. Relief from the constant chicken shit of USA and even worse EURO.
You are RIGHT.
FILIPINO are so laid back.
Wow... this is why American companies don't want their tech workers doing global remote work. They'd live like emperors.
Great video again Calvin...I would like to reach out to you offline...Do you have a personal email you can share as I have some RFI's I would like to solicit from you.
Thanks Calvin but I don’t have 38 hundred a month to work with I’m talking $1600 a month but I’m going to give it a go on that budget
You're still balling 💪🏾
@@calroach1 thanks man if I’m honest I’m happy with my budget I know my life is about to improve Uk to Philippines no compensation
we are rich in corruption.national and local govt.only the politics are rich and have fabolous lifestyle and all vacant lot and bussiness are belong to mayor or congressman.and to there chinise bff investors thats the reality of life filipino. those survy that our economy higher that a lie . go to the remote area and provinces u can see that poverty is higher.
Thanks for the video sir 🙏
I get 164,000 pesos a month and I live like a king 🤴 with my Philippino queen 👸 .
i will keep looking for your videos
Good morning my friend happy Saturday godbless you and your family have wonderful weekend
Get out of Manila and don’t support your partners family and friends and acquaintances and any other freeloaders.
Yes Definitely I’m going to live there and about four or five months.IIigan City with my wife I Filipino God bless live long lives strong Oo🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
It's so beautiful there and comfortable! Oooh I want to be able to not know what day it is!
Cal, Duma is looking nice. I’m here in Tagaytay and $5600 a month is making me feel like I’m on top of the world. And you are so right about the PH is not a third world country. Everytime we go to the mall here, it is always full of Filipino people shopping. I always joke with my wifey by saying “and they say the Philippines is a poor country”. Bullshit…….
@@joehouston2833 if youre not renting a house and your 200 dollars is for food only then itas enough
Haha
@@joehouston2833 no, it's not. This is coming from a Filipino. That's super stretched. But some Filipino families live with that amount monthly. I doubt you can live like that, specially you're used to western lifestyle and food. Plus expenses for your health, that would be really difficult. But Filipinos can get by with that because they are used to life here.
"Hello, maayong hapon!!!"...miss that greeting f to f to my people there in Cebu, Sunshine Shoulders!...I'm amazed u say it fluently!!!
Can't wait to fly home very soon!!!
Awesome info brother, thanks.
I'm in Mexico and being in Mexico with that kind of money you talk about gosh, you don't even know what to do with the money. I eat out 3 times a day and get my massage everyday for at least an hour and then like everything else so I understand what this man is saying but he is in Asia and I'm in Mexico.
Where in Mexico? Sounds ideal.
Don’t blame you Calvin for not taking those swab tests. They are very invasive.
Calvin, you are an American hero, sir.
Thanks Fred ☺️
I'm going to build me a set of Apts there, thats my hustle
You have me thinking big time now!! I'm getting ready for when The Phil opens up.
Thx for the video. The White Dog looks like a Samoyed
Interesting stuff, thanks for that. Oh, and the dog is a Samoyed, surprised to see one in PH, they're really a sled dog more suited to the Arctic.

Thanks for sharing valuable content Brother Calvin 👍
Greetings from Siquijor. Haven't been to Dumaguete in years but the Strip looks much improved. Lots of people for those into that, and Valencia is close for those that like things quieter. Thanks for your content Cal.
Thanks Brian I love Siquijor and plan to make it my home for part of the year.
@@calroach1 You'll have to look me up some time. Been here 13 years.
Being rich is not having to worry about money and it affects the attitude of the people too
Have the lifestyle I want here in the US. Four 2100.00 per month. JUST have to plan ahead. Lake house, serenity sane, neighbors, well behaved children..,family, just what everyone needs.
Health insurance for family will take a chunk of that. I don’t believe you.

I’ve been waiting for it to reopen since all this started... I was there and had to leave on one of the last flights out when they closed it down... My belongings are still there... Everything and everyone I love is there... My life is there, put on hold by this madness... My rent in Huntington Beach California, 2500 USD per month... I’m very sad and often think it’s going to open for folks like myself anytime soon... I’m simply running low on Momentum ... 🙏🤱🏻😓✈️😷
Hang in there
Why not “park” yourself in nearby Los Cabo (1-hour flight) for 1/3 the budget of SD & ride it out there?
Same here, when President DU30 got on television and said all international flights will be canceled in two days, I immediately got on the phone and made reservations to fly out the next day (Ruined my vacation). I went to the airport five hours early, and there were tons of people trying to get a ticket. Tickets all sold out. I felt sorry for them.
