12:40 I agree with you Mark, Filipina looks for a man who can give her a stable life just like all women. My aunt married an Irish man and they've been together for over 30 years and I see how he treated her so lovingly and made her very happy.
I had the same type of experience. Lived in an RV(truck and truck camper) from December 2021 to October 2022. Then visited the Philippines for 5 months starting in November 2022. I spent May and part of June 2023 selling all my belongings in the USA so I could get back to the Philippines and my local girl (I met the girl in person) in Luzon… Screw RV life single in the USA!!
My wife is from the Philippines. After two divorces, I decided to do some research which was much easier, due to the advent of the internet and social media. Specifically,I wanted to know which guys were / are the happiest in marriage and all roads led to the Philippines. As far as the age difference, I had not planned on a 24 yr gap, but after 'video dating' with many different women in the Phil, of all ages, it was one in particular where everything was right. Nobody was beating down my door to make me happy and in fact, the western women I did date later on after the last divorce, were always 'difficult' (not easy going) in some way or another. I decided age was not a problem. I've been ridiculed some by strangers (women my age) here in the states but really, who cares if your happy and content. My wife wants a sense of financial security which I expect and am happy to give her. Throughout history and in most cultures, women want security from their companion. We help her immediate family in the Philippines. In fact, it makes me happy that I am able to lend support.
I certainly wouldn't listen to older western women. They are insanely jealous lol! I was the same as you not looking for a large age gap. Was talking to multiple Filipinas at once at the time which were close to my age. It was boring like a job interview. The Filipina who would eventually be my wife messaged me and I originally told her we could be friends because I couldn't imagine making that age gap of 20 years work long term, but man she looked amazing. We kept messaging and she was always fun to talk to - always teasing me or something. She was the only one I was having fun with, so I decided to just go for it. Been married almost 9 years now and glad I didn't listen to all of the naysayers. It's worked out great. I actually look younger now 9 years later than I did when I met her and was stressed out from being in relationship with western women. Good luck!
This guy's is another great addition to our country. He is a very well-rounded, nice guy who has a lot to offer, especially if he chooses to have a Filipina wife. I myself have lived in the USA for over 40 years and decided to retire in my own, not perfect, but less stressful country.
Interesting interview. I've watched Kevin's videos too and suspected he was from Houston. I took my wife out to eat last weekend. We each got a jumbo baked potato stuffed with BBQ and all trimmings, a side of mac and bottle of beer and the bill was $47.31 before tip. Food prices have skyrocketed here. Medical cost after retiring could potentially wipe out all your savings so that is one of my reasons for looking to PH for my retirement.
Me and my husband ( american)put up our business in my name but he is the one managing it. Construction products. I registered it as uncle sam's concrete products and it is 6 years now.
Im flying into Cebu next week from LAX for $735 on STARLUX airlines. 18-hour flight with 1.5-hour layover in Taiwan, which is where the airlines is from. They are a newer company of 2020 but have an excellent rating. I bought a throw away ticket for $50 from Manila to Singapore.
Lol! When I worked in the trades, I would go “booming”. Basically van life, only earning a good union wage, with retirement benefits, and a nice R.V., or motel! American women don’t realize that the welder, in his truck, that just passed her on the highway, may be making $70.00 per hour, plus benefits, and that kid, his helper, in the passenger seat is knocking down 30 bucks an hour, plus benefits!
@@everymanhasastory I lived, and worked, like that for 5 years, before I settled in the Pacific Northwest. All my pension followed me, and I managed to put in another 25 years, before early retirement… I’m ready to live 50/50, or close to it in Pinas, But my Filipina wife keeps moving the goalposts back another year! Lol! I’m looking at 30 more years of living, if luck holds, and I’m tired of damp, cold, uncomfortable winters!
i was diagnosed with kidney stone and spent about 5 hour in the emergency room. after a month i saw the copy of the bill for almost 10,000 dollars luckily my wifes work have a great family medical insurance and didnt pay anything.
Loved the "won her in a poker game" joke lol. Marriage fell apart and now he's traded up. I bet his ex flipped out he got such a younger woman. Her loss I'm sure.
Great interview with Kevin. I've considered traveling around the USA in an RV visiting the National Parks but over the past 2 years have reconsidered and plan to move to the Philippines in 2024 (after a 3 month visit to check it out). I've also subscribed to Kevin's channel and enjoyed his investment videos which is something I'm starting to get into (Options Trading) and plan to continue with when I'm retired in the Philippines.
Aside from St. Luke’s Global Taguig, these hospitals in Metro Manila are on equal footing: Makati Medical Center in Makati City; Cardinal Santos in Greenhills, San Juan City; Medical City in Ortigas Ave. Pasig City; Manila Doctors’ Hospital in UN Avenue, Manila. Very competent doctors and nurses.
I met my fiancé online, but she is close to my age and middle aged. Professional woman from a professional family, with grown up family who have left the roost and migrated abroad. We are looking to spend 50-50 of our time UK and Philippines. Our plan is to build our own home in la Union on her land which she owns. Looking to move in together permanently next year
Hospital costs in Thailand can be ridiculously expensive too, albeit not as insane as the US. There is a triple tiered pricing system in hospitals in Thailand. If you end up in surgery, ICU or worse, the costs can and do become extreme. Lots of self insured expats in Thailand, who cannot get health insurance (too expensive and won't cover them for pre-existing conditions) and basically won't be treated if they become seriously ill or badly injured. Treatment won't commence until payment is secured.
I’m thinking of buying Kaiser, in the Philippines… Not sure about what is available to expats in Thailand, but, no matter where in SE Asia , insurance that repatriates you in cases where you need to go home, seems a good bet
FYI: "As of Jan. 1, 2019, there is no mandate for health insurance at the federal level" One can search for that string and find the source. (Investopedia) Note, the federal tax form will still ask if you have insurance. Regardless of your answer there is no longer a federal penalty for not having it. But! For state requirement you should check your state's requirements. For example: "As of 2022, only five states (California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Vermont) and the District of Columbia require all eligible residents to declare annual proof of health insurance coverage on state taxes. " Again, search the phrase, this came from Forbes in Aug' '22.
Well...I am not a business man...but I will probably move to the PHILIPPINES. JUST to get away from politics and Toxic culture. I just wanna be on The Beach and pay bills when due. I can do that.
Its nice food is so cheap there. When I visited my uncle in Hawaii for 2 weeks the food was outrages ($15 for McDonald burger). He would take me to where the locals eat for cheaper. One dish called LOCO MOCO is awesome. Its a bed of rice with a hamburger patty on top, then gravy and a fried egg on top. Served with Miso soup. Its around $8. It rained everyday I was there, just sprinkles. I rented a new mustang convertible, and it was annoying to constantly have to put the top up and down hehehe. This guy has good taste in vehicles. I too have 3 Duramax Diesel vehicles for my biz, two trucks and a van. Duramax made by Isuzu, so tough as nails. I'm an avid motorcycle rider here in the USA with three big bikes but will not be riding in PH, just too dangerous. I'm hoping to pick up a cheap vehicle with good AC while I'm there for 5 months. I bought a travel insurance to cover my medical up to $250,000 no deductible for $300 or $60 a month. It also covers many other things. As a retired RN I can tell you ASA or aspirin starts to expire once you open it. The way you tell is smell and if it smells like vinegar then its bad and throw it out.
There has to be options on blades there because too many expats have smooth shave bald head like mine. It is not possible to get a smooth bald head shave with a cheap Bic disposable. I never heard that before
Hey Coach, that’s all I have found here. I just placed an Amazon order and one of my bald friends had me get him 3 packs of refills for his razor. Again, even if a place carries something here…it doesn’t mean it will be in stock. I had to go to 2 supermarkets to find one can of shaving cream here
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 I am comfortable with having to place an order and wait, I just need to be able to know that I can get them because if I don't shave I'm one hairy dude! I seeLazada has a large selection but I do understand I would have to order them. Thanks. ✌️
Yes. A little caveat. Set boundaries though. If you give a hand, they might take your arm. If you give an arm, they may take your shoulder. Then your torso. So better if you teach your girlfriend how to fish instead of giving her fish or doleouts. Don’t be their free-flowing ATM. “Those who do not work must not eat.”
I am coming to damaguete in one month to retire, being to phillipines many times before but never being to damaguete. I have heard so many good reports. Where in damaguete is a good place to base myself so i can learn the ropes. Also do u know the name of good places to stay in damaguete so i can find my feet
Kevin commented that it is hard to date a women in the United States when living in an RV. I think it may be difficult for any man to find a women willing to date them if they have been divorced twice, are living in an RV (actually not even much of one) and working as a migrant worker for $20 per hour. Most quality women would not be interested in that type of man. He would not be considered a high-value man in the United States.
I was not a migrant worker when I was looking to date. That came after I left Houston, and it didn't matter if I had a $500,000 class A RV. Nobody knew what kind of RV that I lived in. Don't know what being divorced has to do with it. Every woman I talked to was divorced at least once, some more. Sounds like you just want to be an Ahole. Either way, my life is better than yours. Maybe one day you can move out your mom's basement and join us out here........nah, you'll never move out
Thanks for watching James! I have an electrical issue that I have to get fixed. It’s in storage in Conroe. I’ll message you again here before I go back at the end of August. There is a TH-cam video by the dealership in Chattanooga that I bought it from: 2012 Lance 855S up for grabs at half the price as new! *sold* , if you want to see exactly what it looks like
That's unfortunate to hear having to go back over unearned income in Roth IRA. It must be a considerable amount to have to worry about it. Now that I know that one has to have "earned" income, which I don't have, I won't be shifting any more dividend/brokerage/investment income to it (only put in $500 when I opened last month). Taxable brokerage account it will have to be, +HYSA and DCA into some staked cryptos It's always some dang gotcha thing... maybe Schwab could at least provide a warning about IRS rules when transferring
Hey Otto, it’s not a considerable amount just $4,300. I just don’t want to deal with whatever hassles the IRS will make me do. I think I will have to withdraw it, pay penalties and taxes on the profits. The thing is, if MY TH-cam channel can make $4,300 NET then that would suffice and I won’t have to work at all. Good thing is, I can put in 100% of my future channel earnings in my ROTH. I’ll just do that monthly instead of a lump sum
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Oh, good to hear then. Yeah, I forgot that your channel income may be able to cover it- hope so. I just assumed since Schwab let me open the Roth IRA and set up automatic transfers from the individual investment account that it was okay. It's confusing (or relatively impossible) to find out what the IRS would actually do with $X amount against the rules, since many of their audit thresholds and such are in a black box, but better just to avoid any hassles. I'm glad I heard you mention that, and I halted any such future transfers.
Sure, but you need multiple partners that you can trust. Then you have to “negotiate”😉 with the mayor and other baranguay officials who could just shut you down if they chose to. Not worth the headaches
Nomad land cool rv camper subculture movie like he was talking about. We shall see if he makes it back. Hopefully. Best of luck to him. Many expats seem to come and go…..
I live in Vietnam and I've been to the Philippines multiple times. I don't think that razor blade thing is true. I would never buy those expensive blades from the US. Here in Vietnam, I get cartridges equivalent or better than Gillette Fusion for very low prices. Each cartridge has 5 blades and I get 8 cartridges for about $1.5. I saw the same brand in Manilla.
what this guy talking about, someone needs to tell this guy that women are not merchandise rather human ( he has saved her so she won't wash by river or not having western plumbing or refrigerator inct.) Sir Please if you like to help someone that is great but don't look them that way.. have lived in that country forty years ago for five years and visited there last year and know Pilipino ,they are wonderful loving people.. good luck to you
No one need to hear all the time that people are poor over there. I bet those girls are richer than you all because they live a happy, stress free life.
Yeah, we get it, mang (and with the other low-IQ comments at the bottom) They're rich because they're happy, obviously, bro!!!! No need to go to US/Canada/UAE!! (which a lot yearn to do)

"No Ragrets?" Not even just one letter? Love that movie "Meet the Millers." That was one funny movie.

Here in Vietnam, I get cartridges equivalent or better than Gillette Fusion for very low prices. Each cartridge has 5 blades and I get 8 cartridges for about $1.5. I saw the same brand in Manilla.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
what this guy talking about, someone needs to tell this guy that women are not merchandise rather human ( he has saved her so she won't wash by river or not having western plumbing or refrigerator inct.) Sir Please if you like to help someone that is great but don't look them that way.. have lived in that country forty years ago for five years and visited there last year and know Pilipino ,they are wonderful loving people.. good luck to you
If that’s what you think I meant, then you have completely misunderstood what I said
No one need to hear all the time that people are poor over there. I bet those girls are richer than you all because they live a happy, stress free life.
Yeah, we get it, mang (and with the other low-IQ comments at the bottom)
They're rich because they're happy, obviously, bro!!!!
No need to go to US/Canada/UAE!! (which a lot yearn to do)
Usa much better period
Nope! You can have it
