That's It! Dude is 72 and she is 26...stop hating on this guy and give him his props. Enjoying that Life before checking out. Having a form of right relationship is the critical key to longevity and too many U.S. men have either opted out or been beaten down and defeated. Too many older men in the U.S. hate on their brothers instead of sharing information and helping each other out. In the end its all the same for MANY...this guy got divorced, faulty or not, and found a way to make it work for himself instead of being defeated by the system. Good luck and thanks for posting.

@wanderingdoc5075 2 года назад

Exactly. 35-year-old Western women will hate on her and him for being happy and smiling and living a great life. All while saying where have all the good men gone? Meanwhile she thinks it is unthinkable for a woman to ever serve her husband or children.

I'm not impressed with this at all living in the United States Yonkers NY with a $350 a month apartment in 1983 honest-to-God I was only making a $112 a week from CH Martins in Getty square paying $350 a month look how much i was getting paid a month no benefits Sometimes you do what you have to do to survive I was using a little over $10 for food every week sometimes sometimes less i had just turned 18 I live like that for almost years On only $448 a month I was a teenager danger so I'm not impressed by this at all by myself I have to proof that I did it does does he have the proof im 57 now that was 1983 to a little into 1987 Just like those animals out in the world in the woods that don't know what they're gonna eat the next day they have to catch their prey this is not impressive to me at all coming from parents that weren't there from me where I was in the group home from 6 till I was 18 because they were fighting all the time you have to learn how to survive

@muhjm1946 2 года назад

I stayed one time over my visa time. Not intentionally, I forgot how long i was there. At the airport as was leaving, the authorities just informed me that I had over stayed my visa. And instructed me to go to customs. They were very respectful, informed me how much I had to pay for over staying my visa. I paid that, which wasn’t that much. I boarded my plane ✈️. No issues and no problems. Since, I have returned several times. With no problems, now I am not saying a person doesn’t have to keep their visa up to date, I believe they should, but if someone forgets or delayed in paying, you will have to pay before you leave. The authorities are not running after you, you be responsible, and be respectful, don’t get into any kind of trouble. You will be okay. But remember if you decide to leave have some money set aside so you pay the fees, and depending on how long a person has stayed over will determine how much they will pay. Just pay and everything will work out fine.

@ariefraiser140 2 года назад

That guy Randy must have fees up in the hundreds after over staying 14 years. I think they may ban him if he's caught. It's one thing to make an honest mistake and overstay for a few days or weeks. You may get away with over staying months or a couple of years but 14 years?

@nowthatsfunny1 2 года назад

In Randys case say 20 years over at 500 per month is only 2400 dollar fine. 😁 120,000 pesos

@ckSport3000 2 года назад

But OVER STAYING for years and years is a completely different story. This guy is a dead man walking, he will be black listed and deported soon.. for sure.

@amaliahightower 2 года назад

@@nowthatsfunny1 it’s not 500 per month. It’s a 500 pesos exit fee you have to pay at BI however at the airport it will cost around 1,600 pesos. I pay 2,800 pesos every other month for visa extension. I have to show my ACR card to be able to get my visa extension. My ACR card cost is 2,391 and it’s valid for 1 year. So roughly around $5,000 US he will have to pay.

@muhjm1946 2 года назад

@@ckSport3000 you are probably right, I would not recommend anyone doing this. My situation was, I only stay a few days. At the airport I had to go to customs and pay for my visa stay that went over two days or maybe three, I don't remember. I pay about a hundred dollars, maybe a hundred and fifty. At the airport when they check a person passport and see a person has over stayed, they send them to customs at the airport. And a person is not leaving until they pay. And they have to pay in cash. No credit cards.

Randy proves you can live a simple happy life without a lot of money , especially in the Philippines , great story, my first visit was 2004 , I decided then , when I retire I will live in Phillipines , I moved here permanently in 2016, this is my home now .

600USD per month is like about 2.5 times the minimum wage. Definitely livable at least in the Philippines.

@do7473 2 года назад

I have a wife in the Philippines now when you can get apartments at less than $200 a month I'm not impressed by that try paying 350 a month getting a $112 a week like I did $600 a month budget I'm not impressed by that in the Philippines ..I've been to the Philippines over 5 times have a wife and son in iligan city thats easy for a man that's lived like me I make 550 a week now I was living like a king every time I went there and spent almost 6 months every time which was a difference from 112 a week Putting aside a little over $75 just to make $350 a month rent try doing that for a all utilities included studio for 350 a month

interesting to note, my wife and I considered the possibility of having to bring my mother with us when we moved to the Philippines to enjoy her last days--she was suffering from dementia at the time, was in poor health, and funds for her grouphome care were diminishing quickly. Had she not passed when she did, an option would have been bringing her with us to the Philippines to live out her days...similar to Randy's approach. She wouldn't be returning to the States again, and would be buried and interred here. But...it was just a thought...

Is very unwise. I live in the Philippines on the same budget by the way. Good luck to him though, and thanks for posting this.

@metalguru5226 2 года назад

@Randy Wilson Thanks for the response Randy, and I understand what you are saying. For sure there are others doing the same thing across the country. As you said, they have never made much effort to force overstayers to leave. Maybe no effort at all, as far as I can tell. Not unless they're suspected of certain crimes. It's apparently also illegal to do charity work without government permission and registration, but again, just another law that's seldom - if ever - enforced. I'd be careful not to assume that just because things have been a certain way for a long time, that they will always stay the same though. Having a "plan B" is never a bad idea. Personally, I'd hate to be in that situation, since i love travel and want to continue traveling. It is an interesting option for those who are certain they never want to leave though. Would work in many developing countries I suspect. Best of luck

600$ is around Php29,982. If you live in the province that is a lot. Depends on where you choose to live. Rent would be around 1500 - 15,000 pesos or more ( regular 1 bedroom house to condo unit). If you cook your own food that would save you a lot and will eat healthier. 800Php a day for 2 people a day is for me too much well if homemade. There are travel packages if you decide to go around and visit tourist spots. Cost 1500-5000Php. Depending on where you choose to go. Travel every month or two months. That is not bad at all. You can get life and health insurance which is not that expensive is very flexible and can be shouldered by the $600 budget.

@pedrozatravel 2 года назад

Well it does help to keep a healthy lifestyle, but a lot of countries you can get very cheap healthcare. It is cheaper for us to pay out of pocket in Mexico than my copay in the USA for prescription medications.

@chrisjuricichxl5 2 года назад

@@pedrozatravel we also figured that even were we to have stayed in the USA, our combined SS income coupled with any available PT jobs or..even continuing to work and deferring SS for awhile, living in the States would have required moving out of CA to a cheaper state, and if either of us came down with any debilitating health problem, even if we had health insurance, any long-term care facility would have virtually bankrupted us despite everything. Yah, we have savings and investments but it would quickly evaporate. Instead--we moved here, built our retirement house, are staying legally with a PRA visa (thankfully) and...retired! NOT working.

@ariefraiser140 2 года назад

You don't need perfect health to live overseas. There are lots of countries with as good or better Healthcare systems as the US for what ails most expats at a much cheaper price. And when it comes to prescription drugs which is the medical care a majority of expats would need it's ridiculously cheap compared to the US. Once you get to highly specialized technical healthcare like organ transplants that's likely where it would be better to be in the US but let's be honest. For a majority of guys like Randy they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of something like that even with Medicare. At a certain point in time you just have to go out and make the most of your remaining years instead of trying to live as long as possible but live in misery in the process.
