    Very sad story. I had some trouble in my youth but I turned to God and changed my life around. Im 48 and now I’m saving and investing, hoping to retire in the Philippines as well. I have a trip planned in a few months to go there. Love your videos. God bless you and your family

    Tragic story. As you told the story, my mind kept going from different people I have known over the years. People, very loyal, great friends, and confidants. But would have an addiction that held them back. Or other emotional issues. It’s so sad. So much potential.
    I’m hoping he gets another shot and makes the most of it.

      @crewfamilyphilippines I have witnessed 1st hand the debilitating effects schizophrenia has on sufferers and the stigma they face. I pray he is getting the required treatment and support needed to help him. Through a family member. I became aware of the disease almost thirty years ago. I have witnessed the roller coaster this person has gone through in their life. With the advancement of medication support services and a better informed society, with perseverance, they have managed to maintain a more settled life. I wish the same outcome for your friend.

    Heartbreaking. Nick can get no assistance in navigating the criminal justice system, Meanwhile those burning down buildings in the name of equity, tolerance and diversity are met with zero punitive response from the government.

      SSSSSooooo you do not believe in equality? Tolerance? Diversity??? DO you believe that white, christian males should rule over all others? You talking about people fighting for equal rights as if you would have lynched Dr Martin Luther King Jr if it were up to you... Do you know how many black and brown people are being done far worse than him by the justice system? Funny that when a black person complains about the justice system, you demons tell us to "stop crying, criminal"... But when its one of yall.... "ooooohhhhh the justice system is so unfair and corrupt". Guess Trump has taught yall well. Im glad he cannot come here... one less colonizer here pretending to be human. But anyway... I want to know how you answer my first three questions... WS burned down entire cities in the name of supremacy... Bet you would love to be able to do that now huh?

      What does civil protest have to do with Nick’s condition. And how has their protest impacted his life or denied him any opportunity.
      Based on the story, Nick had support of several people and made choices at an early age that affected his entire life. Maybe the fault lies with his irresponsible, alcoholic parents who abandoned him at a critical time and age while providing zero resource or support after he turned 18.
      No Black or Brown people were mentioned anywhere in the narrative. So maybe shelve your racist tendencies for a moment to just feel compassion and empathy for a human with a good heart but bad luck.
      Hope he gets out and is able to realize a portion of his dream before he goes toes up. Good luck 🍀 Nick!
      From a concerned Black person.

      @@elmoelbow TheInvisibleAmericanMan is just a Trumpanzie that needs to point to black people at any opportunity he can find. He wants to reach back to a peaceful protest, but I guess thats because those that participated in the terrorist attack on our capital are being rightfully punished (even if the punishments are not strong enough)... Well all except for the leader of the attack.. Thats his hero, and since Trump hates black people... he hates black people too.. Most likely he has never had a black person do anything wrong to him, but I bet he has has several white ones do him wrong... Sad that he hates black people so much, but only does so because he has been taught to.

I'm 38 living in Texas and I make a lot of money but I'm in a lot of debt, trying to work hard and clear it all so I can actually start saving up money so I can early retire there in PH, I've known for sure I want to retire there by the age of 50 years ago. Your story reminds me why I need to make sure I do what I need to do and not try to get everything last minute as that can just be such a bad experience as you've had i'm sure.

One huge thing is we all have to get right with the Lord. Even a wonderful woman cannot competely straighten us out. Life is rough, but keep a stoic, prayful daily life. Much better to stay calm than angry. Keep it cerebral. And stay busy. Nick gets out, just day by day build things up. But, again, keep up the prayer life.

    It’s a sad story, and it reminds me of my brother.
    We all had a very bad childhood, but my sister and I went one way, and our brother went the other way.
    He’s had a life of extreme alcoholism, drugs and arrests.
    Always a good heart, but always an F up.
    I’ve tried so many times over the years to help him, but he’s now 60, and I don’t think he’s going to change his stripes now.
    It’s sad, but he’s a grown man and has to help himself too.

    I had a friend from high school who gave me a similar story. I believe he was bi-polar. When he was not depressed he could get great jobs and live right. But suddenly he would go into depression and destroy his life and the lives of everyone around him. In one of his good times, he married the perfect girl. I was tempted to warn her but didn't. They had a son and named him after me. He ended up addicted to heroine and lost wife and son. On my trips from the Philippines to the USA, I would try to contact him, but he was either in rehab or living on the streets. Finally, about 10 years ago, his father called me here in the Philippines to tell me he committed suicide. I was sad, but I understood. He was never going to get his life back together was obvious. He just couldn't face living his life anymore. I was sad and think about him often, but it was the first time I realized that,for some people, suicide makes sense. It was his only way out of his hell.

    Nick's story is a very sad one indeed. Maybe there is stiil a glimmer of hope for Nick His time in jail may offer an opportunity for him to redeem himself. With proper counseling and the desire to better himself he can get himself a GED for starters. From there he can learn a trade. I believe it's even possible for him to get timeoff for good behavior. It's all up to Nick to pick himself up by the bootstraps and make a better person of himself. I wish him the best. Hope you can find someway to keep in touch with Nick, Monty. I believe he looks up to you as his mentor. Your encouragement and support can certainly inspire him to be all he can be.
    I sincerely hope things become better for you and😢 your family as time passes by, Monty

If he can get a job building fence he can make very good money. The couch is very comfortable. It sits 3 but normally we can fit 5 if there are kids.

One with the help of his girlfriend who he got married too got him sober and the other had to go through a lot of hard life lessons to get sober. He ended up losing his license 3 times for DUI.

He’ s really a good at heart person. But my niece who was taking care of him had to take him to be admitted to the hospital phschiatric ward against his will . My heart is literally aching for him, but there was no other answer at this point. So I know how you feel Monty. Sometimes all you can do is pray to our lord persistently for them.

Financially wise, your right, he most definitely won't have the funds to survive there in the Philippines and as a foreigner that's the last place to be if your broke.
