    Hey Ai & Derek,
    first of all. Thanks for you open minded content. I "study" the philippines by youtube and talking to locals for 6 months now. Of course the start was chatting with a nice woman but more and more the country itself wakes up my interest. So many possibilities and chances for a better (this means peaceful) life. And by thinking of this stuff so many questions are appearing in my head. I am 43 years old and its way to early for retirement. So...how can i create an income. As you said...always work for yourself and not for a company is the best way to go.
    As you said...first is to get my ass over there and look how it feels. This means to "simulate" living there and not go to parties and have the "special" fun. I guess the best way is to jump in the cold water and learn to swim. The other things can and have to wait until the basement is build. Its life...so its not a sprint. There are so many influences, the country, the culture, the people, the food, the weather, the costs and so on. I guess in the first days and weeks its still a never ending wave of emotions.
    You are are very helpful source for information...big thank you for that.
    Regarding TH-cam...you are doing great. You are responsing which 90% of the channels here don´t do. So its not only feels like interaction...it is! Keep up the great work
    Best wishes from germany

    At times I wonder if your trying to hard to make a business work, like it would in the U S. A blog in the Philippines said, slow down. Things work differently there. You have a mind set different then the other bloggers there,use it. Things in the Philippines moves slowly there. The people as well. The no rush mentality as well. Slow down with everything you’ve doing and enjoy the things around you.

    I have enough money and also a lot of ideas regarding my early retirement by investing in / doing a business in the Philippines.
    And I am certain I can have a sustainable business. And can create work and do a lot of other good things in and for the Philippines
    But because of the laws, everything has to be done over the wife. So it all stands and falls with finding the right wife who is honest and loyal.
    This isnt an easy task and even with a good knowledge of human nature and intuition, you never can be completely sure.
    That is the one thing that still gives me anxiety.
    If I am lucky, I can start my new life in 2027 as planned. If I dont have luck, and its really bad, I might have to fly back to my home country later with my emergency funds :/
    Maybe Ai can do a video on the topic? What are green flags regarding a good filipina who wants to be successful together with her husband instead of just getting him to build a house and so on, and then get rid of him

      Whenever you have to be dependent on someone to get something done, it's probably not a good idea to do it unless you can truly walk away in a total lost situation.

    • @i-am-your-conscience
      @i-am-your-conscience หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@qadventures But how does this work out for most businesses? You have to spend money to set something up. If the wife wants you out of life and business, there is little you can do.
      Motorbike rental might be a good first business though, because you not only can walk away from the situation, you can drive out of it ;) because I think the ownership of several scooters by a foreigner is not forbidden :D and a motorbike rental business without motorbikes is pointless of course.
      But in most tourist hotspots, the rental business is more than saturated.
      And everything with more revenue all needs investment that you cant own.
      Maybe some things change though over the next years, Marcos seems to be somewhat progressive business-wise?
