Sells everything, moves to the Philippines sight unseen. First two months, dating, budget... 

dating in the U.S. is abysmal now. the U.S. today is not the U.S. I grew up in. it's a train wreck now. the corporations in the U.S. are awful to work for as well. it's one thing to not be able to date, but it is a double whammy to have no dating life and a depressing work life on top of that.

some friends told me about this channel, and I know why....love the versatility of the content, excellent channel

I liked this interview, maybe because it was with someone you already know. You should do more with people you know, both locals and foreigners. There are enough bloggers doing interviews with people they don’t know, sometimes that works, often not so much.

Chris, you are getting more sophisticated. Keep up the good work growing the channel

Great job to both of you. Just a chill, transparent, and informative convo 😉 Keep flowing naturally with the channel. Authenticity is the most important aspect to me...that shines through...and definitely on your Q&A sessions. - Steve from Dallas, TX

Still in vacation mode, but what a great attitude! Seems well grounded and is actually paying attention to his budget which is a huge benefit. Nice interview Chris, well done bro.

Good Interview and congrats to Britt on his move, he looks so relaxed and happy, obviously he made a great call moving to the Philippines.

It’s a little different. A date in America cost me $300. A date here cost me $12. They don’t ask for expensive gifts, tickets, vacations, etc…And they are half the age as the American women I was seeing. A lot less past dramatic divorces. They aren’t holding on to hatred toward a past husband. Causing them to secretly hate all men.

You paying attention Guys ? ……. Leave the western Girls go East Gentlemen…😊

I just met my "doppelganger", the guy you interviewed could be my twin. Great we have good people moving to the Philippines brother.

Hey Chris....much appreciate these videos, my number was 3k a month as well, so I am stoked to hear that's almost too much! Btw, loved that 7 days in Bangkok last month. Hope you get there soon, fun place, and great people like Phillipines. Stay anywhere near the bts rail system,,and you'll do fine. Enjoy & Aloha 🤙🏽

Great content, really enjoyed this interview.

Nice interview - great content

I love this. It’s being very transparent on what it’s like to just cold move there. That’s great.

Great interview....had me cracking up. I am sure this has been very informative to many western men.

Nice to see you do an interview. It's a good idea to do interviews every now and then as part of your content on your channel. It also gives you a different insight on your experience by talking to other expats. Keep up the good job, brother!

Good work big C , though you 2 did a great job. Would like to have extended the time by 20+ minutes. Miss your weekly live stream. Glad to see you in a better place than a few weeks ago 🎉

good vid Chris. some dudes like to turn the page and take a new path. thats cool if they find what they want in the Phils. the US is a great place to work, make money, raise a family. its not a good place to retire. costs for things are high in highly developed countries. people come to the US to make their fortune. most people dont go to the Phils to make money. its a great place to have fun and enjoy life, without spending so much money. most people in the Phils would kill to get a visa and come to the US. they know they could earn WAY MORE money here than in the Phils. everybody knows that. it all depends on what you want. for older men who are now retired on less income, the Phils are great. if they feel lonely and ignored in the US, the Phils are great. Filipinas are pretty smart. they are willing to play the long game with an older expat. their lifestyle will improve dramatically because we are all "rich" compared to what they are used to. its a win-win for them and their expat

There is a huge difference in the trans culture in SE Asia then in the West. The Western trans culture wants to force you to accept their ways/beliefs to where SE Asia's trans culture just goes about their every day lives

Subscribed to you Chris, I’ll soon be moving here. Thankfully my asawa is Filipino and we live in London currently. I’m vlogging the Philippines because it’s now my favourite place on earth! God bless you! Keep making the content!

DONT forget FILIPINO WHO HELP YOU IN YOUR CHANNEL ONCE YOU GAIN MILLION FOLLOWERS FILIPINO HAS MORE THJAN 816 MILLION MEMBER IN RU-vid AS FILIPINO JUST BE CONSISTENT ON PHILIPPINES TOPIC AND BE FRIENDLY HELP SOME OF THEM WHEN YOUR CHANNEL GROW

This guy is so kin happy best interview I've seen on here thanks

Its a shame men from an economically and educationally advanced country leave it to go meet women who arent from their country or their culture. The USA is a dead country.

Being from the South, he's probably used to the humidity. The Philippines sounds like a great fit for him.

Great interview and good to listen to others with similar experiences

This is a great vid. Chris you are doing great with these vids. They are interesting, funny, knowledgeable and just honestly cool. Keep it up. Im glad there is new blood doing vids. Hats off

I just discovered your channel. This was a good interview. Bret was very straight forward and honest in reviewing his budget with us. Keep up the good work Chris!😊

The SECRET to living in the Philippines is to learn *TAGALOG* and live in the Countryside and Visit the city. Make most of your new friends with FILIPINOS, not Americans. Don't talk trash about the Philippines. Living in the country has huge benefits such as incredible low cost for rentals. Hire locals to do your cooking, cleaning, transportation, etc. It is very possible to live on $1,000 or less. Best advice is to think with your brain NOT your penis. I am married to a Filipino woman for nearly 18 years. I met her through my Filipino friends, NOT a bar.

Great content, honest, yet casual…I am married to a Filipina and God has blessed me with an amazing wife and life! If we could, I would move us back to her country the Philippines in a New York minute. Keep up the great work!

thanks for doing the peso to dollar conversion pop up in your video

To all the foreigners coming to Ph to find a wife. My only hope is that they won't take advantage of these Filipinas and make them serve you only, it must be give and take. As a Filipina myself, I know my part in the family I know my role but of course, I expect my husband to help me with the housework, like cooking and cleaning. I am blessed to be married to a Filipino guy, which is one thing we practice at home helping each other with everything. Don't just come here to Ph and expect these Filipinas to serve you, please don't do that, just stay in your country if that is your very reason for coming, they are not your maid to serve you and be used by you. You don't do that to the Filipinas here. Do not abuse and take advantage of these Filipinas' kindness. Even though like what I have said, as Filipinas, we know our role in our family, we know our part. But do not abuse or take advantage by having that mindset of coming here to find someone to serve you. Do not awaken the warrior side of these Filipinas. And another thing, we live a simple life, and most of us Filipinas are hardworking women, we can buy our own flowers even though NOT all but I could say most. We value and respect others not because we look at you as superior to us, but because we know the feeling of being away from your own country and family. as we know the feeling of being away from your own country. Because of our kababayan working abroad.

I see many American men here, walking around with wives and say to myself, you could do better than that. Here is living proof. Do another interview with his fiancé.😊😊

Could never live in a shoe box condo,gotta see nature!!

Great episode. When i came last year as a 36 yr old i had an amazing month in the Philippines and felt human again. Doing everything i can to get back next year for good

Best of luck Brett - Chris, really nice open discussion where it looks like a true friendship is been formed, nice humour shared, enjoy - Patrick

As a Filipino American, you're smart to chose the Philippines as your permanent home. Hope you will find your dream girl/woman who will love, respect, understand you and a best friend forever. Good Luck.

I was living in Thailand, due to the English barrier strongly considering moving to Cebu

2 weeks is not a long time - ( ? ) - given he is totally unfamiliar with everything & never been there before ? --- Should have been expected I would think. 🤔 Many who I've heard on here suggests a month or two for "orientation" to a new area !?! --- Perhaps he's a bit impatient and too focused on women ?!?!?! -- > He finally got to it. - - - A relaxing comfortable retirement is what I will be looking for and w/o any extravagance. Most I have seen and heard this past year - suggests a $1500 / mo. to be plenty - and more than enough most months ! 🤗

I visited PI many many times during my Navy career, great people and beautiful Country.

i say true feminism is in the philippines. their version in the US is frankenstein version

Chris you look like a non wealthy version of Dana while jk bro,keep the good work.

Not wise at all….do not do this. Take 1-3 extended stays to the Philippines. See if you like it or not, don’t do all or nothing.

Nice interview with Brett, thanks for Posting Chris...Jim

What city are you guys in?

Dated women in fifties lol hilarious that would be not good

Dudes get a vasectomy and a trust fund for your assets money and don't get married get a girlfriend believe me as long as you have money she won't leave you also never ever buy land in the Philippines foreigners can never ever legally own land in the Philippines foreigners instead rent or buy a condominium apt foreigners can legally own a condominium apt but not land do this or regret it for the rest of your life 😁

Been missing your content Chris. Glad you’re well and glad you’re back. I’ll be arriving in Cebu in March 20th. Would be great to hang a bit. Thanks for all your PH coverage.

Wishing y'all the happiness living here in the Philippines❤💕

He might want to visit ILOILO CITY. Who knows, he just might like it and find his one true lovec

Hi men, good luck to you both. I'm in the Metro Cebu area and use Airbnb for lodging. Thought about motorscooters but didn't want to get in accident situations.... Grab and tricycle is ok.... I had a 33 year old angel find me a I'm like a 33 year old man again. ...I'm really 68 in dog years. So life is treating me better than I deserve.. Best Regards to y'all... See you in the ville .... Smitty

13:57 glad to hear what he said. Aside from dating.. that peace, stress free (or much less stress) is something we all need. Just a few good friends, some time to relax and enjoy..priceless

If it doesn’t work out finding a girl at the mall or on line try opening up your home to one of the many stray dogs on the street I am 72 years old and if a man took me to Macdonald for a meal I would leave him in the parking lot

He's in his honeymoon period.

Great chat, ill probably hook up with you when i get back there also non drinker stockbroker looking to live like i do in the states for less

Could you please recommend a reliable motorcycle mechanic in the area? Additionally, I would like to inquire about the prevalence of motorcycle theft in the vicinity. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Never fall in love with a bar girl....I did

Great interview. Thank you for sharing 😎

It's paradise for the divorced man.

Love this one. I know exactly how he feels I only live about 45mins from albany ga. Tifton here. The date world at 50+ is horrible at best. But I am also starting to make plans to move to the philippines. I dated a philippines woman while Korea and she was awesome like 20yr ago. I'm so jealous hope to u there within the next couple of years.

I love your channel, Chris. Carry on.

The fact that he talked about the meeting other Americans and having friends to go out with with huge for me cuz that was my biggest worry

Be careful with your finances. Beware of aggressive city girl. Don't give in to women's pressure. They are after your money but not with you. Look for shy lady and unagressive. They are serious and are not money hungry.

Only in the Philippines can you take a local girl out on a date to McDonald’s of all places, and she thinks you’re a BIG spender. It’s more fun in the Philippines! 😎

Belize... speak English.

Great interview and love your open-minded take on the Philippines. I'm a subscriber and I'll keep watching. Make more vids! Erny in Florida.

7:45 brother, not gonna lie. This attitude (among many other positives) is going away quickly with social media.

you have only been there 7 weeks. it's all new. after a while it won't be new anymore. you haven't talked about your income. if any of you think a 20 year old is interested in you, you are dreaming. there is no fool like an old fool.

Very beautiful setting. Why not? You're welcome and have a good life!

Very nice video really enjoyed the intro to the video. Good job Chris

Britt, Take your time to date. Don't be in a hurry. You'll find someone out there soon and you'll be happy. Thanks Cris. You're adapting our culture. Thank you for visiting our country, you both no matter what's in the news. keep up your good work.

fantastic interview, please do many more of these, you are a natural talent interviewer and talk honest about things. Please share still more about where you live in IT Cebu, what differs it from the 2 Ayala's? Thank you again, keep going, keep healthy, keep happy

2 years of research - and it didn't take long to prefer English speaking areas - when actually trying to picture myself living anywhere ! -- Getting acquainted with people is necessary for everyday living. > Can't do that if you can't communicate (?) now can you ? -- -- -- The Philippines really stands out for the language issue - when cost of living is a priority for you. Many US expats are living there already and that makes it all the more attractive for an easy comfortable retirement. Some do it on half the amount he budgets - @ only $1500/mo. - and a few even retire on half of that (!) - seemingly quite content with frugal !!!

The more men who move there, the more it will become like the usa as the women realize they can ask for more. Just like the tourists moving here ruined my neach town, used to be a small town, quiet in the wimter. Now you wait in line 45 minutes at the restaurants, traffic is terible all year round, housing is incredibly expensive. So it will go in the phillipines as time passes.

Man I need to get to the Philippines asap… I keep thinking I need more money to move to the Philippines, maybe I need to just sell all my stuff and buy a ticket!

Don't do what this guy did. Do not sell your stuff in the US... He made his choice based on RU-vid videos.

If you leaving here iin the Phils for good and you are wise to spent your hard earned money form US you probably leave here like a king bcoz of the low cost of leaving here.

So many older guys wanna move there for a 20-30 y/o girl/woman ...for a girl that's young and fresh you give up on a worldly woman that can hold a sophisticated conversation. Have been there 5-6 times, married a girl 20 plus years younger, she and her family used me for a quick way out of poverty...so many guys I know ended up in the same boat.

Good video Chris. I am in IT Park for a couple days, for the second time in a few weeks. Love this area so much. Last year I stayed in Mactan Newtown. I like this so much better! some might prefer Lapu Lapu but I love this.

Going to fastfood places like mc Donalds shows u got no taste... how can u have taste in women then? Ridiculous!

My first date would be Andoks' and build up to McDonald's ending with fine dining at Jolliebee.

the Phils is a great place to go, but ruling out everywhere that doesn’t speak English?? You are retired bruh… learn a language.

I can live in the Philippines for almost 100€ per month and good enough but in Germany 2000€ needed to live a descent life there..I found Philippines more cheap and affordable

It has everything to do with the money.Do you really think those young women would have anything to do with you if you were broke?

Good luck to Brett... Albany GA is about 2 hours from me...

Welcome to our country Britt ❤❤❤ stay safe, guys, and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 🇵🇭

Hey Brett I lived in Cartersville. I worked at the dam there. Great interview Chris.

My family sold everything, moved OUT ‼️

Just rewatched this. I’m fired up to travel again

All the best with your life's journey in my humble country, Mabuhay.🤗

So if I am a retired millionaire I should check out a few beaches. Just have to watch for the balls.

¿ whats the residency status required to stay their & do you have health insurance while living their

That was awesome information thank you

No veneer - No blinders on - Honest opinions regarding Philippines . . .

Great interview Chris! I stayed in 38 Park and I loved it there! The studios are a little small and expensive though.

Whats up Kojax

Wow...I am going to do the exact same thing. I've been looking at retiring early for a year or so. My good buddy has been coming to the PI for a couple of years now and loves it. I am taking the "leap of faith" and giving it a shot in 7 weeks from now. The crazy part is I'm starting off at the IT park also. I hope to meet some people from your group. Chris....love your channel and keep up the great content!!!

the editing urrgggggh!!!! didnt got the juice of the convo. the originality of the convo some being deducted lost me.. Still, thanks for promoting our country.. new subs here.. keep going

Very interesting interview. Honest and not misleading.

Great to see another foreigner in the Philippines. We also sold/donated/give away everything and we are moving there in June and we can't wait to experience Philippine life again.

You decided to live here in the Philippines you need to obey the culture and policy of pilipinos respect
