Phils. Here I come baby♡
Coastal Rural California: Monthly: 2br, 2bath Apt: $1100, increasing 4% per year. Power $217, Increasing 10% per year. Vehicle Cost: Gas, Insurance & repairs: $450, increasing 5% per year. 84 Calendar Days until Retirement with a 70% Pension. Cebu City by Mid-October 2024.
Don't LDR - land as a free agent - play the field - don't settle till you're 100% sure - and that will take you 6 months and more than 20 girls to interview.
$1100 for a 2 bedroom stay in California then
Anyone going overseas to find a woman could be a winner. But still be careful. Some women regardless of the country, could play you, waste your money and time, and in the end leave you heartbroken. Pick someone who likes you and wants you.
Filipinas have unique, exotic, attractive beauty to them.
I like Filipinas because they are very beautiful and attractive ladies with long hair smiles on their a baby faces. The cost of living, and the warm weather. I always want to the beach 🏖️ with a lovely lady.
Hi "Rik" I need to thank you again. This time I believe you saved me, with one of your advices. Thank You. I am now in Dumaguete, will travel tomorrow to Cebu for 2 days, then....maybe to Bohol again for the rest of the month.
Excellent!
Envious 😊
My Three Reasons ; I can live *_great_* on $1,500 a month. I can live in a high rise condo - with a pool. The pool attracts young ladies who want to come and take pictures of themselves - invite them over for a 2-night stay and they will show their appreciation ten-fold.
Yes definitely trying to live in the phillipines just can't afford it yet.
My name is Ari JJ and I approve this message.
Top 3 reasons to move to the Philippines: 1.) Filipinas 2.) Filipinas 3.) Filipinas.
For some filipinas, top 3 reasons to meet a foreigner: 1. $, 2.$, and 3. $....
In every city in Australia, you are looking at a minimum of 2K USD to rent a studio apartment.
What???? Wow
I live in the US. And rent for a one bedroom apartment is anywhere from 1200.00 dollars to 2500. Dollars a month!!! To rent a room with a bed, and share the bathroom & kitchen it’s 800.00 dollars a month. It’s outrageously crazy!!! Utilities cable tv, cell phones, forget about it!! And dating ? I’m divorced 60’s. I might as well be dead.
dam I love this post.Im 50 …..definitely got PHP on lock for perm stay.Doing all research ,you are providing.
Selling my house, my car, everything I own is a big step, however I don't have an emotional attachment to material things. So nothing is holding me here in Canada. Selling my house will give me access to half a million dollar immediately.I also have a government independent retirement fund that I don't need to touch for another 15 years, if not 20.
Financial aspect ain't a problem for me. I'm 53, single, free to do whatever I want. I don't want to get married. I'm torn with choosing between Vietnam and the Philippine. I won't know until I go and experience both. I'm curious about the tourist visa subject. Health insurance is another.
3 Reasons; Lechon Kawaii, Lumpia, Chicken Adobo. Done.
Retirement in the Philippines has been my goal since 2012. Thanks to you and your channel im 80 percent done. My dream will be reality in 6 more years of saving and visiting the Philippines for 60 day stays at a time.
100k??? What??? Good, don't stop. Thinking about any road trips would love to see the rest of the philippines!
thanks! :)

One day I will meet you in Bohol for some nice advice
Are you kidding!!?? It costs every where I have been searching, 1550.00 dollars a month for a One bedroom apartment, And. 800.00 dollars a month for a bedroom!! 🤯🤯 and you have to share the bathroom & kitchen!!!!! 😮🧐😳🤯🤷🏻♂️. I’m in New York, the worst, but I’ve searched most other states the cheapest I could find was a one bedroom apartment for 1050.00 dollars a month, it just out of control here that it’s just crazy sick. I’m making plans to retire there this coming August, and I’ve never gone on a date site, But I watch ALL your videos and others like Pea an do on.
yes, i gave conservative numbers. depending on the area (midwest vs NYC).. the rate for lodging varies. but even so, the PH is wayyyy cheaper.
Hello David! I live in south Texas. I'm 56 and have been retired for 4 years. I plan on moving to the Philippines in 2026. I have been there twice and loved every minute of it. I was interviewed by Maya, Gio in the Philippines wife. It is her third or fourth most popular video. Go check it out. We were discussing using Christian Filipina as a dating site. If you will be moving there in August and are interested in dating right away, I highly recommend you pay the three-month subscription and begin your search now. There are many girls that will be interested in you and many more that you will be interested in. Take your time and set up some dates for when you arrive. Even if you don't meet the right girl for a relationship, you will definitely meet some good girls and it allows you the opportunity to enter the dating scene.
Good stuff Reekay.
Well said
Easy to get sub $20/month on a phone in the US these days, though even a simple apartment is >$1,800/month for even a basic apartment in any major city.
Isn't she lovely!
Just Waiting On The Lord For several things and Than His Final Say So. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
😂😂😂 ok. He did give you reasoning skills and then ability to make your own logical decisions right?
You left out Jolliebee restaurants on every corner. 😂
@reekay i really wished you do more longer videos and talk about ph like back in the days
after much trial and error over the years, 10-12 minutes is what most viewers prefer. anything longer than that, they tend to pass over.
@@Lifebeyondthesea can you please start doing live steams again then ?
perhaps at some point. livestreams were very popular during covid. but the last two years there hasn't been much of a turnout.
The Food is a tough one. The rest is doable.
my wife and i love to cook, so tasty food isn't a problem for us. but yah, dining out sucks in the ph from a healthy diet standpoint.
Food is a tough one - but not enough for me to lose weight.
Live soon Please. TY
What about monsoon season rain
6 months??
there are about 6 to 10 typhoons in the PH per year, mostly in the northern regions. for most of the PH, it's simply some rain during the wet months. rain for maybe a few hours out of the day in most cases.
as a side note, a typhoon has a circular wind pattern, while a monsoon is a prolonged rain without circular wind.
@@Lifebeyondthesea
Ok ty
Agreed that Filipino cell phone plans are far cheaper than US/western plans. BUT you pretty much need to maintain a conventional US-based cellular number (not VoIP/internet based numbers) for banking purposes as they insist on sending passcodes via SMS for “security” reasons... so you’re really paying for two services, one of which is expensive. Am I missing something?
for over 12 years i've used google-voice and a paid skype # (as a backup) to receive all my OTPasswords from my banks. works with all of them.
the only deviation is with WFargo.. they will send a voice OTP, but not a text. even so, i still get my access code.

I like to go Filipino
Hello Rickay,
Have you ever been to China?
Did you ever go to
Vietnam or Thailand?
China is very very safe place to stay.
Cost of living is even lower than
Thailand , Vietnam
or Philippines.
Would you reply and advise?
Thanks
japan is also very affordable. however, personally.. for several reasons i will never entertain living in china. i would choose vietnam or japan, myself. and i did live in vietnam for a year, 2019, in several cities.
most expats i've known who lived in china more than a year did enjoy it. but they eventually left china after their work visa expired. the political climate towards americans and lack of human rights even for chinese, limits on internet, 'tofu' bad construction of buildings all incline me to give china a hard pass for the long term.
I always love your videos how do l get in touch with you
Hi Rikee, I have a question for you somewhat unrelated. And maybe you did a video about this but I missed it. I just wonder why did you choose Bohol over so many options here in the Phyls?
we are at bohol 'for now' since we enjoy the beaches and quiet province life. but we're still open-minded to iloilo and a few other places.
some people want more city amenities, so cebu is a better fit for them.
@@Lifebeyondthesea we visited Bohol a few weeks ago but just the Alona Beach area, seem like a nice place. We’re currently in Mactan island but I’m sick of driving here (we have a small car), seems like every time I get on the road I have close-calls with scooters and people just stepping out in front on the car constantly. I feel like I need to leave Cebu to a less crowded area - if there’s such a place. I do want a reliable hospital in the vicinity tho.
it may well be cheap to live in the Philippines but maintaining a Filipina GF/wife and the majority of her family will outweigh any costs of living you may have saved initially residing there
Foreigners need to factor in those added costs also
that is only true for 'yes-men' who cave in to every money request. those are the guys who get hosed financially.
set boundaries, and your budget stays intact. more on that here;

Waiter! Two Philippines for me!
Is it unlimited internet on the phone? And do they have unlimited internet phone planes.
i've seen unlimited calling/text.. but not sure about unlimited data. my plan comes with 10Gb/month and i never go through it all. i just use that when i'm in town since at home i have a separate home fiber signal.

my plan is staying in cebu then taking a ferry to bohol, is bohol cheaper to live vs cebu?
if you do your own cooking and live in tagbilaran, it's about the same.
but if you live at alona beach and dine-out for most meals, it will be much more expensive than cebu.
Reekay i keep hearing expats saying cost of living ia going up it worry me that what i have montly making from my Job isnt't enough. My goal is to have a family of 5 fine and will have $3.5k a month, should i get a second job?
a budget of $3,500/month is plenty for a family, on most any island aside from maybe makati city. not a problem.
while prices have gone up in ph maybe 8% over the last 2 years, it's nothing compared to the rate of inflation in usa. ph is still the clear winner for cost of living.
th-cam.com/video/aa5KP_wENRE/w-d-xo.html
@@Lifebeyondthesea Thank you for the reply and linking the video. I do not plan to live in manilla I want to go to cebu first then transition to Iloilo City. The reason i worry about the budget is because i am not retirement age still will be under 30 years old by the time I make the move to the phillipines. Its very difficult to find people in my age range making videos its mostly guys that are older, but i still appreciate videos and advice. It just to some people it sounds crazy to live the US for Phillpines especially to family and not seeing people in my age range there worries me because i want to come to build a family/have children most expats who move there that i watch are not living that lifestyle. Aslo you are right cost of livintg is still cheaper than the US.
Let me confirm - $3,500 is 205,000 pesos. You can live great on 100,000 - so with 200,000 - you can live like a baller.
Keep these videos coming Reekah❤
I like your style, I'm the same way I like to meet a female the old school way face to face!! Hopefully I will be in the Philippines within the year.
The TH-camrs convinced me. Leave US on July 16 and getting everything lined up for permanent departure.
pace yourself and enjoy! :)
Get a vasectomy - it'll be the best option for you.
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia-routinely 100% humidity, cold or hot and in between.And when its not, count the days on fingers.
2 out of 3 ain't bad. -- Tradeoffs will have to be made. Not so sure the 'noise' won't drive me nuts over there ? And - we can't - "turn off our ears" ? -- Perhaps (?) - some quality earplugs are a good idea before coming over there ? At least they have McDonalds and some other food available - we are used to ? No Taco Bell I heard from someone ? Having - some - "comfort food" should help with the culture shock and getting adjusted to the many changes smells and the humidity ? - - - This video really got me thinking !!! -?- 🤔
i think too many guys complain about 'noise' in the ph. the city isn't much more noisy than an american city. and out in the province, like where we're at.. every day it's quiet and peaceful. no barking dogs or karaoke like people keep complaining about.
it can happen, sure.. just like in usa you can get some neighbor who blasts their heavy metal or rap music all saturday afternoon.
as for comfort-food, being on keto diet that's a rarity for us to dine-out. we pretty much avoid fast-food and pick restos that have meat and veggies available, or soups. there is kenny-rogers roasters here, so we enjoy that. once i a blue moon i might hit up shakey's.
I think the "noise" my Filipina makes will drown out any noises from the neigborhood 😂
