I really respect you and like this video. and You may be a White old guy but I don't know what the media says about you but you don't seem like a bad person. This video is really motivating.
This is a Positive video, personally, I like more white girls but I wouldn't mind traveling to the Philippines and seeing how they are I want to talk to women.
QTR= Quality Time Remaining! 67 is out of the question for the little amount difference you may get. That's why I went to the Philippines at 59! I realize everyone can't do that but, If you can you need to!
Good words brother. I hope to retire at 59 1/2 (less than 2 years from now). I’ll withdraw from my Roth IRA if needed. I used to be a welder at a shipyard over 30 years ago. Now, I’m in an engineering group for the same company. After getting laid off as a welder, I told myself that I would never do it again unless it was for my own business. Well, close to 30 years later, I built a tig welding shop in my house and to weld aluminum for people. I wish you the best. I found out about you from a Sunshine Shoulders video.
The retirement option I was looking at was sitting in the bar every day drinking myself to death. Then I realized (thanks YT) I could stretch my savings (with a small disability) until my small pension kicked in, stretch until small 401k at 59+1/2, then stretch until SS at 62+1/2. I quit drinking (7 mos now), quit my job, sold everything (not much) and came over here to the PH. Never looked back, no regrets for same reasons you just talked about.
divine intervention comes through God Our Lady , God Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost........and it's that simple ...the Keys to the doors of Heaven
my friend there is no need to settle for the bottom of the misery barrel....for 10 percent of that you wouldn't recognize yourself...im laughing a little i see me and you standing next to a monitor looking at your philippine life me saying ...yes thats you! yes thats your girl!...
A balikbayan box costs less than $100 from the USA to the Philippines. $75 from Orlando to Digos. A garage sale, window unit air conditioner fits just fine in there. While you are at it, throw in a 3000 watt 220 to 110 transformer (amazon) and you can run anything you want from the USA. I also bought a tankless water heater in Davao. The province isn't so bad anymore.
Hey Heidon! Right away you look 10yrs younger, good job man! If your mobile and can stay healthy, why not look and act as young as you can. The Phil is the best place for that! 🥳👍
When I got here over a month ago, my gf took me shopping to buy some tanktops for comfort. And it was the biggest convenience when I went to the beach.
Pastor told a story once about him being a younger man trying to quiet cigarettes. And he did, a 1000 times. But by lunch time he’d be back at it. He had a lot of discipline, hard working guy, surely he could do this 🤷🏽♂️ So with pride he quite 1001 times, then 1002… Finally, he asked Yeshua for help. He surrendered his pride. And that day the Holy Spirit descended upon him. HS didn’t tell him that he would quite cigarettes; HS told him from this day forward you are a non-smoker. And so he was. 🙏🏽 Now whether you see that as Ego surrender or Divine Intervention, it’s not for me to judge, but either way there’s power in this world and prayer is the direct line.
Great story brother. Philippines was not even on my radar but wife hit me with divorce and I’m 61. Great career and six pack and all that, I sorta figured I’d pack away some more 401K and then do a fat cat Arkansas retirement at 71yo. I’ve got many years but now they’re looking like empty years. And there are no guarantees. I might make it to 93 and be fine but I work in health care and I know things can fall apart. So anyway, I’m looking at the sexual marketplace (as the psychologist call it) and brother, those older woman do not do a lot for me 😂 The wrinkles and the extra 30-50 lbs just make me a monk. I tried some 40 something’s and no interest. And even if you capture one, they are still of modernity. 2024 and it’s obvious that women do not need a man. Perhaps desire one from time to time, but just like you hire a plumber to fix your sink; once it’s repaired his value goes away. I’m looking for something more conventional. A playful gal in my bed everyday. Maybe twice a day 😂 So long story longer, thanks for the inspiration. 62yo is right around the corner and I might pull the plug. Not the treasure chest I wanted but a million plus SS should go a few years of joy.
Heidon, I have to say you've hit this out of the park - particularly your comments about where to make small change, and the wearing of cotton (I AM a 100% cottton guy, [boxers and t-shirts] lol). For the first time ever, I have decided to pack light and am still trying to figure out what those things should be.
Thanks Chris! I left 1st week of March. I'm going there since 2000. BTW......Great job BBQ at Derek's when I met you. I'll be back in Cebu in November. Take care my Friend!
