im same age 1961 march its just a year right. I still feel 40
Oh my goodness! I’m 80 this year. I have no health issues, I love to travel, I consider Thailand my home. I have a Thai husband.
I feel like I still have a long time to enjoy life.
Very happy for you.
A cherish for the day enjoy your life as it s yours
My first husband was killed in Vietnam, I draw from the military, but I don’t feel it’s taking anything. My kids were raised without a Dad.
I am so sorry. Bless you my dear.
So sorry for your loss. Your late husband made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. IMO, there is no amount of money that the Government can give you, to make up for the loss that you and your kids suffered.
Respect to you and the trials and tribulations you have been through...Indeed, that compensation is well-deserved...That you have survived and thrived is a testament to your tenacity...Yah Bless...
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
totally agree when taking SS out at 62
You did it right Joe, you've earned everything through hard work and commitment! Taking SS at 62 is the way to go for you. I plan on doing the same. The DJI worked great! Keep being you! Peace brother!
The quality of that new camera is top notch.
Congrats Joe, I recently turned 62 also and started collecting SS be careful here in States if I make over 20k per calendar year I have to pay penalties.All the best to you both
Thank you 🙏
You worked for it, you deserve it. And SS is a component of FERS. Take it when you’re illegible. Congrats Bud. Enjoyed the walk.
🙏
I am a federal employee with the USDA. We have a program that if we retire at 60 with 20 years of service, the agency pays my social security until we reach 62 then SSN takes over. Not a bad program. Also, we can stay on our health insurance at the same rate until we are eligible for medicare.
Joe, BEST DECISION EVER, taking SS at 62...it is better to enjoy it now than to keep waiting
Great advice Joe.
Live in Thailand. I start collecting social security November of this year. They don't have figures for American males living in Thailand but I'm sure it's longer than the United States. The food here is much better for you the healthcare at least in my opinion is the same quality as it is in the United States perhaps better. And far less expensive so I'm not suffering from sticker shock everytime I go to the doctor.
Agree and the stress level of daily life is noticeable. It will add years i believe.
Both modes look great! 👍
Thanks for sharing Joe. Great info as always. I’ll take SS at 62 as well. Camera great and mic picks up everything. Let me know if your headed up to Pattaya again soon.
Hi Joe.
Video quality beautiful and mic clarity excellent.
Stay well
the mic is great supper clear ! i could not tell the video difference at all... L.A Rob
Thanks Joe
Loving the new camera!
Thank you 🙏
Brighter in regular video mode.
Good Video Joe 😊. Good sound and the lightning was a little darker facing the cloudy sky.
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations Joe, I'm happy for u😊 I'm retired AF(24 years) 16 years civil service. Retired in January in Philippines at 63. It feels good, I should done it sooner😊 Take care, and God bless
Thank you 🙏 for your Service. God bless!
Love the videos and it’s always great to see Gift she always looks so happy 😁
🙏
Mic was perfect. Right volume.
Happy Birthday!
Congratulations on your social security.
Thank you 🙏
Hello from Chicago! Great information.
Thank you 🙏
Camera and sound quality fantastic Joe. Well worth your upgrade. Thanks as always for posting your videos with Gift. Love watching.
🙏
Video quality is great like always Joe!🙏🙏👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏
Happy belated Birthday Joe.
Thank you 🙏
Sound is great Joe, like you say brightness fluctuates as you walk under the shade of the trees and direction of the sun.
Always watch your vid’s from here in Adelaide Australia.
All the best to Gift and yourself going forward. 🙏🏻🍺
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations Joe on Social Security. I also started drawing SSN at 62. Never thought it would be there for me when I retired, glad it is. Great video
Thank you 🙏
This was interesting Joe Thanks.
🙏
Cameras look good. New mic sounds good.😎👍🏽. Thanks for the social security info. 😉🙏🏼
🙏
I also have Dji Action 3. Great camera. Exposure settings. On the rear screen ...on the right hand side ...in the middle ...click on icon (looks like 2 parallel lines). Then ...top right corner is a 'PRO' icon . make sure that it is on ...if on it should look yellow. Below that click on "Exposure". Then set it to "Auto" not "M". Then Left hand side set it to "+0.0EV". On right hand side set ISO range to 100-12800. Click "Confirm". The 2K and 4K settings that you mention ...in theory ...should only affect resolution ...not exposure. Hope this helps. Regular video mode looks better. The sound is excellent.
Thank you 🙏 so much for the info, I will check it out.
Works fine Joe. Microphone is outstanding. Thank you for sharing your terrific videos.
God bless you and Gift and keep having fun.
😎🍺🇹🇭🇺🇸
Thank you 🙏. God bless!
Hi Joe, I really didn’t notice any difference when you switched the camera settings. The new mic is definitely clearer. I think you were spot on with SS, i still have to wait one more year. I have run the numbers too. Thank you for sharing . I almost forgot hi Gift. Take care 👍
🙏
Great Info - Both cameras good - sound was good
Thank you 🙏
Hi Joe, I don’t really see the difference between first and second camera’s view. The sound is perfect. 😊 you are right not to wait (if you have the choice) for 65-70 years to enjoy the present moment because we can never be sure of what awaits us. The life you currently have is priceless and you have already made the right choices to leave before your retirement. Enjoy even more now!
🙏
Good morning Joe. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your life story. And your filling process on SS. Awesome and helpful. In my view, the quality of 4k 30FPS is better. And the DJI wireless mic sound is very clear. Your are strongly young brother. Enjoy every second of life. Stay safe and healthy 🙏
Thank you 🙏
The wireless mic works really good and I didn't even see it until you pointed it out.
👍
the HDR footage looks great mate
Thank you 🙏
Another great video talking about stuff that's important to me too (in a coupla years). Mic is great.
P.S. Looking damn good at 62 bud. I got a couple more years to go but hope I'm as fit & healthy.
🙏
Happy birthday!
🙏
Good morning. The video quality is better in regular mode and sound quality is good. I salute that you work hard to support your family and does not depend on any help from others.
Thank you 🙏
Congratulations Joe all the best mate. Hope to catch up with you and Gift when we come back to Thailand 😊
Thank you 🙏
Hi Joe, it's great to see you looking so well. Long may it continue. Regards Tony
Thank you 🙏
Great Job Joe! God bless you ! Thanks for sharing your beautiful life😅
Thank you 🙏 God bless you as well.
Just stumbled across your channel, I like your work and I absolutely wish you guys all the best. I live in Vietnam, smartest move I ever made.
Thank you 🙏
I read you 5 x 5. Excellent Video quality
Hi Joe, sound was good picture quality much the same in either mode. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
🙏
The regular mode, not HDR, seemed brighter
Thank you 🙏 for your feedback.
Hi Joe, I have similar backgrounds, came over to the U.S. as a Vietnamese refugee at the age of 11. Lived through the war, started life delivering newspaper in the middle of winter at 5am as a child that couldn’t speak any English. I have one more year to go before retiring in my current govt job and going to Chiangmai. I too will be collecting at age 62, did my math and came to the same conclusion. Enjoy your retirement life and thank you for the SSA information.
I love Chiang Mai, good luck with that. One warning though ... have you researched the air pollution issue? I'm planning to spend time in Thailand ... but I'd only stay in CM 6 months of the year. For the smoky months I'd spend time on the coastal towns or islands.
Thank you 🙏
Hi patrick, i also came to usa at age 12 in 1975, but now retired to chiang mai since 2019. i'm on ssdi due to a recent stroke. i'm getting the amount i'd get at age 67. let's get together sometimes since we came from the same background. i'll put in a friend request.
Everything works just fineJoe,and no wind noises in the microphone.
🙏
new subscriber... really enjoy your video with all informations and advises.
Thank you 🙏 so much, greatly appreciated.
Good morning Joe the video looks great it’s like your literary in our living room on our big screen tv lol thank you for sharing your experience with the s.s early retirement it’s very good information for us we’re coming up in a couple of years for our retirement and we’re looking forward to that day that you for sharing your story you deserve every bit of your retirement with your beautiful Gift looking forward to seeing you guys trip with Chuck Paige and the rest of the gang
Thank you 🙏
That new camera is spot on. Gin clear pic. And the wireless audio is transferring across well too. Great investment.
Thank you 🙏
You were a hardworking young man supporting his family and look at where you are now…..in Thailand 🇹🇭 living the dream! My husband and I love this very inspiring video and the information will be very useful when he retires in 2 years time! Video/camera is great and so was your voice 😊 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏
regular video is best. Glad you're well. SS is pretty easy here as I'm finding with my initial questions. The guy in Rome is a jewel
🙏
Joe, I thought the video and audio quality was great. I could not tell the difference. I retired exactly one year ago. I traveled to Australia and Thailand the very next day. Very helpful video. I am back in Indiana trying to figure out when to return to Thailand. Long time subscriber, first time commenter. Keep up the good work! Joe from Indianapolis.
Thank you 🙏 so much.
Congratulations, I'm waiting for my first check right now!!
Thank you 🙏. Congratulations to you as well.
sound great
first camer better
Happiness & much Love
Regular video is excellent
Hey Joe, I think the 1st video mode looked great. the second was good also - but the 1st was superior.
Thank you 🙏 for your feedback.
awesome joe
🙏
All the best to you and gift. i was was in Hua Hin end of last month only for 2 days. thought about you guys. back home in New Zealand now long time Subscriber cheers
Thank you 🙏
Joe, I'm happy to hear you have things worked out for your social security. The mic and camera... The mic is perfect the way it is don't change a thing. The video is a bit darkish but it's really not that bad. The only problem you may have is on a cloudy day or walking into and out of places, buildings, etc. I just watched a video about the settings "Osmo Action 3 EVERY button, setting, & feature EXPLAINED" and he says to turn up the brightness for outside sunny days. Hope this helps. Take care. 🙏👍
Thank you 🙏 for the feedback
I've mentioned before on your videos that I've been traveling to the land of smiles since 2000ish. I went on the 9ths trip of my good friend who had gone once a year for 9 years so I started out with a big head start on most people. That was around 26 years ago and having been there 30 times of so since I've learned a lot on my own. That said, I've learned and re-learned so much from watching your videos, and Chucks, even the Chocolate man. Its so helpful to see other peoples perspectives and videos like this are super informative.
After I first traveled to thailand I was amped up and thought I'd retire there long ago. Things change and I've stayed here mostly because of family. My son Graduated from UCLA in december and today he got his first job, My daughter is 27 and doing great so now this info is getting very helpful. I'm 61 in august. Ive already come to the conclusion its going to take at least a year to organize, sell all of my stuff and rent the house out here so theres a good chance I'll have the SS thing worked out before I arrive in Thailand but its comforting to know if I come before that I can use your info and get it done outside of the US.
I say this and I'm starting a new business...lol I'm crazy! Thanks again.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing.
Sawadee kap Joe, you are at 62 don't put your money in one basket and I had invested many good location cbd condos in great countries with very good rentals, and only one condo for vacation home near to cbd, thonglor-bts, malls in BKK Bro !! 🙏🙏
Thank you 🙏 for the suggestion.
Thumbs up 👍 Joe
Thank you 🙏
I Really like you. More so I respect you. Your experience . . . Not much different than mine. I am 61 and, after working my entire life, on the cusp of retiring and following in your footsteps to Thailand. God bless you.
Thank you 🙏. God bless you as well.
You did it right. Nobody knows when their last day will be on this earth. Take the money at 62 and live your life.
You did right Joe taking SS @ 62 , you need not worry , as the cost of living increases ,your payments will increase . I'm American at 68 years old , living the dream also in Thailand .
I also started collecting my SSA benefits at 62 in the US, once I moved to Thailand at 63 I notified Manila SSA to have my benefits deposited in my Thai bank account. It was an easy and straightforward process.
Sound and picture quality very good
Thank you 🙏 for the feedback.
Little dark Joe! Congratulations on your social security❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🙏
Sounds great! Neww Jersey here too, close to Hoboken! Lol!
mike is spot on
🙏
well said my brother
🙏
I’m happy my wife can get my SS if I die. She gets almost nothing but she worked at home raising the kids.
Had the same experience with the three month window issue. Really enjoy your channel. Have a son and daughter in law in Pattaya. I think the Hdr mode is softer and better. David
Thank you 🙏
HDR mode looks great!
Thank you 🙏
Congrats bruh on your first SSI payment. I'm 63 and been collecting since March of 22 after my BD Feb 6th and yes I applied in December of 21 ! Familiar life story you and I growing up poor and taking care of our responsibilities as young adults to now. I was never in the military but come out of military family 😊 " ya did what ya had to do so you can do what ya wanna do now " ! Job well done dude now don't sweat sh#t and enjoy as I try to do everyday and we'll live till 97 not 77 bro 😂. Doing great joe and like me you have the best partner in the world to be by your side !
Oh by the way I think the new camera's cool and easy to handle
Thank you 🙏
Congrats on your SSI Joe, took mine right away as well. I'll have to write down what you said about being 73.5 year old... turning 73 in September wouldn't want to go outside the expected, lmao... thanks for the content, cheers bro
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing! Wasn’t expecting this honesty! Bless you and gift!
🙏
congratulations
🙏
I've been subscribed to your channel for awhile and I noticed today that I was 'unsubscribed' and thus subscribed again. Wouldn't think much of it but I checked several other content creators I follow and wouldn't you know... keep up the good good and hopefully we'll share a few beers one day.
Thank you 🙏 so much resubscribing.
At the start it is Pretty dark .... Happy Birthday Joe ...It is a little
Bright but still Darker then usual .. Sound is great and being
from Berlin N.J. near Cherry Hill YEA We do seem to Talk Loud,,,
🙏
Congratulations Joe with your retirement 🎉
Thank you 🙏
The second setting Seemed to be better lighting. Sound was fine.
Hey Thai Girl Gift and Foreigner Joe, good to know where you are on your walk through life. I am pretty much the opposite of you.had it not been for my back I probably would have stayed on that job until I was 65. Being forced into retirement at 44 was hard to handle. I did have a part-time business at the time and we were going into the the Christmas season so that kept me afloat until the retirement checks started coming in and between that and what I got from Worker's Compensation I actually was making more than I was when I was working.
good to know about the SSA in manila handling SS payments for those living in SE asia. Valuable info.
Joe,
With your attitude, health, and current life status, I would be planning on being around way past 77.
Congratulations Joe your the same age as me and your in very good condition keep pumping the iron mate it's doing you good you look very strong
Thank you 🙏
Joe, very interesting watching your latest posting. You and I have a lot in common. I've been retired in Bangkok for about 15 years but in my past history you and I both have the same backgrounds. I was in the military for four years and then I worked as a teacher with the Department of Defense overseas schools. That gave me a total of 35 years of government service which is pretty good toward the pension. I have my federal pension from DOD sent to Bangkok every month. I don't get much in Social Security because we didn't pay into it as teachers with DOD. I let that small amount of Social Security go to Bank of America account in the USA. Having the pension transfer here each month is really a pretty good deal there's a minimal transfer fee and the exchange rate is excellent and it's always there on the first of the month. I would never recommend anyone try to get their visa based on that in income every month however. It was so difficult dealing with the Bangkok Bank to get verification of that income every month. AND BIG BANK FEES! Hard to believe since they're the ones receiving the money and holding the money etcetera but it was impossible to deal with with Big Bangkok Bank every year. I've gone back to the 800,000 baht. Deposit
Thank you 🙏 for sharing.
I too am living the life 👍🇺🇲 Watching on my phone, picture quality is better with the second camera 👍 When you turned around depending on sun and shade affected the picture. Still pretty good quality. Sounds great, volume is fine.
Thank you 🙏
Greetings Joe, you look great for your age, personally I couldn’t tell much difference with the camera settings and the mic quality is fine.
Your decision to claim your social security is your right, you’ve earned it now live long enjoying it with Gift, family and friends. I absolutely agree with you when you talk of average life span, the calculation is the same for us Brits, we’re not expected to last beyond 76! With pension age soon to rise to 70,I’m a few years behind, but plan to go a similar route as you,as always sir take care and have a blessed day ✌🏿☕️🥰
Thank you 🙏
SS process from overseas is hard due to the fact phone numbers don't always work (same with IRS) and the length of time it takes to get to that phone interview. Once you get that though it is smooth sailing. Glad to hear yours has worked out (I got my first payment in Feb) I went through Manilla as well from Australia and applied in November. We came to Thailand in Jan so it took a fair while even though I was 62 prior to applying.
I think it depends a lot on the situation.
Congratulations
Thank you 🙏
Good Moring Joe.. I like the 1st camera better look more realistic
The video got much clearer. If you can get it clearer that would even be better. have a blessed day my friend.
Thank you 🙏 for the feedback
HDR is a bit dark, sound on both settings is solid. Congrats on social security and thank you for your service to the US!
Thank you 🙏
regular video mode looks much better Joe it is normal looking the other was a bit dark still !
Thank you 🙏 for the feedback.
