    He sold everything and moved to the Philippines - sight unseen! Without ever visiting here, Eric decided to make the Philippines his home, and left the comforts of the United States behind. Is he foolish? Is he reckless? Or did he do his homework, and create a plan to escape to paradise? Perhaps only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - he sold everything he owned and moved to the Philippines to follow his dream!

      You must, I repeat, you must sell everything, all your possessions , all your assets.
      And then find a Filipino woman , give her all the cash you have accumulated.
      This is the secret to eternal Bliss and happiness.

    • @Corsair37
      @Corsair37 6 месяцев назад +16

      "Burnt out but not broken". I think that's an unfortunate side effect for a lot of men in the West. I know that I've reached a point in my life that I have no particular desire to get married again, and a lot of my divorced male friends feel the same way. I'm not opposed to it, but I'd be perfectly fine with just having someone to share my day to day life with.
      It took me a good 10 years to fully recover financially from my divorce, and mine wasn't nearly as expensive or traumatizing as some of my friends. I think here, in the US at least, the divorce process leaves a lot of men with a bad taste in their mouth. The idea of taking the risk to go through that again...is not appealing.
      (I'm not anti-marriage - it's just not the priority it was for me earlier in my life).

    First reaction was 'Wow, that's taking a risk!' but then I remembered from when I was a kid. Many families in the UK upped and emigrated to New Zealand, Australia, Canada without ever having been abroad before! I have relatives in two of those countries who took advantage of subsidised sea fares to set up life in those places. Maybe we've become too casual about international travel now? Wish him luck, thanks for the interview Pea! 🙏🏻🌹

    Pea:
    Awesome interview with Eric. Your comment at the end about "Green Acres" made me laugh because I was remembering the TV show and it was one of my favorites back in the day. With all the videos of yours and every other video I've seen on YT your comment about that RV show really hits the nail on the head. The Philippines may be awkward to Westerners when they first experience the culture, but at the same time it's fresh, cute and fun. Please don't get me wrong about that. Personally for me, I think the differences in culture would be an enjoyable change to what I have experiences my entire life here in North America. Just like in auto racing, if you can't win on a track, try a different one.

    Pea,
    Thanks for this video.
    This guy have BIG BALLS and is not afraid to take risks.
    I still various years to retire and I'm planning visiting Philippines at least 3 times before deciding to retire there.
    This guy moved there without hesitation.
    Really a check there needs 45 days to clear in your bank account? Damnnn, that's rough
    Here in the US, if the check is small (say less than $1,000), all of it will be available immediately. If is a big amount (say $10,000), the bank will make a portion of the check immediately available (e.g. $2,000) and clear the rest in a week.. In one ocassion I got a check for approx. $7,000. I spoke with the bank manager. She allow me to get $3,000 cash and deposit the rest. The rest of the money was available in a week or so.

    • @zuchnicky
      @zuchnicky 6 месяцев назад +1

      I've never understood these checks... (I saw it in US movies, someone just write number to paper and subscribe it - but how is it secured? How it could still work in 21st century? 😯) What is it good for? When I was 18, I simply opened account and get debit card. (here in EU) It is super secured by pin, limits, insurance, chip (hard to copy), mobile phone lock and magnetic strip could be disabled to prevent simple copying.

    This video was "right on". His assessment in such a short period of time is, well, "right on". I've been here, as of 3 days ago, 11 years and I have found what he stated to be accurate. The difference between he and I are I'm not a beach lover but a lover of concrete. I like the big city feel being from New York, Atlanta and Cleveland, also San Juan. His opinion regarding money was, too, right on, and it is KEY, very KEY, to know and to define your purpose living here especially when you're retired and have an exorbitant amount of time on your hands. I recently went through a period of depression about "purpose", being 67 and thinking will every day be as it has been the past 11 years. It could very well be and would that be so bad? If you are going to be "retired", one must lower their expectations as compared to being gainfully employed. Your whole entire outlook must change and is it so bad to be staring at an ocean setting, or over a golf course, as I do in my condo, enjoying each and every sunny day, warm temperatures and ease of life. Sometimes, realizing the blessing we are living daily is to be appreciated for what it is, a blessing, as compared to what so many suffer through daily.

    Great interview Pea. I agree with Eric that it is important to have some regular source of income before moving anywhere. That's true even moving from state to state in the USA. The economy isn't what it used to be here. I had to adjust my sense of humor when chatting with some Filipinas online. Their use of English is excellent however they are very literal when it comes to jokes and didn't realize when I was joking. I noticed 3 guys with firearms walking past in the background. Security or police I would guess. Good that no one was alarmed. I always pay attention to things like that as many public places may not be safe and sometimes it's not always the good guys who are armed. I agree with Eric about your videos and advice. You have helped many more people than you may realize with important decisions like relocating and retirement and understanding the similiarities and differences between Western and the Philippine cultures Pea. Eric was 100% correct about dating and/or approaching women in the West. This has become an impossible situation for many men. Thank goodness that is not the case yet in the Philippines.
