My daugther works in the clinic and she ask this old lady if she have medicare card and she said no and my daughter said how come your 65 and she said still have to work 2 more years to complete the 40 credits to collect SS and qualify for Medicare.And I have a neighbor she can’t put her husband in a nursing home because he never paid her SS
It's amazing to hear these stories of the USA putting everyone into the military. It's a business.No wonder people want to flee into the Phillipines from the war.
Every man has at least 3 stories. He has his " Happy " story that explains why he's a success in life. He has his "sad" story that explains why his social and economic failure isn't his fault. Then he has his complete story called, " Start me up, Start me up baby and I'll never stop, Never Never , Never stop.............
Great interview Mark thanks! Skip's a very interesting guy and the time flew by. It would be fun to hear more of his insights if he's up for another session. And if so perhaps we as listeners could field some questions for you to submit. Also, at 28:17, as you both had three shots, I was curious to know if you you had the Pfizer shot and if your reactions might have been after the second, as a couple of friends had similar reactions after their second PF shot? Their Filipina wives who are nurses said some of the other nurses at work had reactions on the 2nd or Third round. Thanks
Not sure I buy all of what he’s selling. Not a great idea to avoid all doctors. I wish I could list the guys I know of who died of prostate cancer needlessly because they hated going to the doctor for anything. Good for him though if he saved enough to not need ss for the rest of his life
I sometimes think it matters and sometimes I don't. I just think once you get past 60 years your on borrowed time no matter if you go to the doctor every day or not. My dad was a doctor and he got cancer just like everyone else and the doctors couldn't do much of anything. My mom was married to a doctor and got liver disease and was gone shortly after she went to doctors non stop and none of them did much for her either.
He lost me at drilling his own teeth and "choosing" not to pay Social Security as a small business owner. Not only was he legally required to pay, he should have been paying the full 12.4% as the combined employer and employee. I'm pretty sure it isn't optional. LOL And you can't compare that to people with federal or state jobs who don't contribute (which has changed for federal employees about 40 years ago, and federal employees under the FERS retirement do in fact contribute to/receive social security). Oh well... seems like a happy guy. I wish him well.
Mark, I was wondering, if someone wanted to talk to you 1 on 1, do you currently have a way I could do that? I know you sometimes have q and A style livestreams I’ve attended in the past and was able to ask a question or two but I was wondering about if there is a way to have a more private chat. Please let me know!
Great interview. Very interesting and funny gentleman. He reminds me of Don Rickles.👍👍
WOW!!! First time I heard of someone doing their own dental work. Amazing.
Fascinating and interesting guy - please do a part 2
I really enjoyed this conversation
An upbeat and positive guy enjoying this time in his life
Great interview Mark. I’m definitely up for a Part 2 at least. Thanks for sharing!
He's got some of the craziest story to tell really, he is one true survivalist out there, a unique person of self reliance.
This guy seems to live in his own world. Rare breed.
How fascinating. The ultimate surfer Dude. 😀
Drills and fills his own cavities 😂😂😂
Skip can surely do it all! What an independent man! Good for him. Smart and frugal man indeed.
Not so independent that he resisted the covid shots!
Very it interesting candid interview.
The part about how to never pay tax. Is something the government is never willing to openly teach.
Great interview. Great guy. My life seems very boring after this one.
I bet he would remove his own appendix if he had appendicitis.

I just got My drivers license (For cars) in Manila yesterday and it took 90 minutes....license is good for 5 years
We can all take a little from this man (frugal) is smart. Bravo brother you'll do fine in the Philippines.

There might be a couple of sailor's from the USS Indianapolis who would disagree with your shark evaluation.
Love the South Bay- especially Manhattan Beach.
Ide rather listen to these videos all day than the politics on fox news or cnn. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for your support
Another great interview, Mark. I feel my life is very boring compared to your great guests!!!
Come to the Philippines and shake things up
That's funny, Mark. I'll be there in February see you, then. @everymanhasastory
Skip is from California Southland. He might know Zephyr surfboards and met some California Filipinos stateside. Liked.

Very interested guy. Like to see more of him 😅
I read Florida gets the most Shark bites due to its rivers causing turbid waters and mistaken identity as they said in this interview.

@@youngandfree93 how many men do you personally know right now that are 75 or older that aren't dead or too fragile to live on their own?

Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
200,000 pesos for a wedding sounds like a lot - but it's only $3,500 USD.
When he owned bars, you could smoke so he got plenty of second hand smoke

The only way is in person. If you visit Dumaguete I would be happy to sit down with you 😊
Impossible that he never paid taxes. The IRS would have sniffed him out. Not impressed whatsoever.
I don't see the link to this guy's channel
Never goes to the doctor but runs over to get the experimental injections ... drills his own teeth really? Sorry this sounds like a tall tale.
Id like to meet this guy for a dental procedure Mark, seriously! Can you connect us?
