    Love your videos, and they are so helpful for someone like me that probably will be moving there in the near future. Thank you for taking the time to help.

      Hi Stan, if living in your community with rent around $300.00 or so, not a smoker or drinker, and like cooking at home, making
      around $2,050 a month not counting savings, and would arrive with no bills. Would that allow for a good life? I am good at separating wants from needs.

    • @stanleyandjenlyncrum7582
      @stanleyandjenlyncrum7582  3 месяца назад

      ​@BennyHurley-x2x That would make for a very comfortable life. You would still be able to save money each month.

    I watch all your videos and appreciate the info on rentals. I plan to move to the Philippines March or April next year and am looking forward to living there. You bear an incredible resemblance to my brother Larry I lost to a murderer way back in 1984. Keep up the good work.

    Great video Crum. I am preparing the move with my filipina wife of 30+ years from Boston area US for early retirement @ 59. Been to PI once back in 06, lots of changes since! Lipa City is a nice option. I’m glad everything worked out for you & the wife 👍. It’s All about the Journey my Friend ✌🏻🇵🇭

    Stanley and Jen, I really enjoy your vlogs. I try to watch them as soon as I get notice. I just wanted to let you know I watch your vlogs on RUclips through our Xbox. And you cannot leave a comment on your vlogs on Xbox. So I jumped on my phone today and just wanted to let you know I don't comment as much because of this issue. But I always hit the Like. I look forward to each one of your vlogs. So please keep doing what you do!
    Still working on our exit plan to get to the Philippines. We will get there soon. ❤

    I have 3 wonderful kids, in America, so I am not planning to be a full-time retiree in the Philippines... until I can't travel and need a lot of help. Even then, I will need to make a choice, since I have an excellent LTC insurance in the USA. I recommend for expats who can afford to keep a cheap small place in their home country... when needed, also for visits. You can get a very cheap place in your home country.

    Well, my friend, from what I've seen on your channel. I think I would love the opportunity to move and retire there. I'm still planning on going g there next year to see how I like it. Unfortunately I can only stay 2 weeks for vacation at a time. But I'm still stoked on coming to check it out. Have 6 more years tell I can retire early. At age of 62.
