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.
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.
@@CarefreeChris Don't give in to such suggestion to interview people on your channel as your main content. There will be backlash and you'll get more haters that might endanger not only to your channel's existence but to yourself as well. Not all people are comfortable being seen on someone's else's channel especially when he makes a stand on some controversial issues. Just leave it to certified media men. Vloggers shouldn't mimic a certified or licensed journalist. You don't even need to do that.
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
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.
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!
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
Big difference between a vacation and living full time. You cant spend like a person does on vacation or you will be broke in a couple months and living on the street.

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 🤙🏽
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!
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!😊
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!
My wife is Filipina of 30 yrs. I am new to these ex-pat channels, but now am seriously considering retiring in the Philippines. 5 yrs ago I wouldn't have even considered it.
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 🎉
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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!!!
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.
I’m retiring in eight months and own a home in Colorado. That’s currently rented out. I plan on keeping it and now coming to the Philippines for the first time and checking out that city you guys are in. thanks for sharing all the information. What a great video.
No problem. Happy to help. There’s so much to do there in Cebu city. If I’m in town, check out my community group and we can meet and I can introduce you to a bunch of people
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
Hi Chris, I was watching Mike’s Philippine retirement videos and I saw the one that he did with you and I thought it was really good. I have been watching your videos now also because I am going to the Philippines for the first time in a couple of months. I purchased an elite visa for Thailand so that I can explore that country also. I am going to spend about two months in each country. I am thinking about living in BGC in the Philippines and Chiang Mai in Thailand and spending 6 months in each place when I move there. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.
Great job Chris! Excellent video from a 63 year-old guy from the southeast USA whose looking at PH for retirement and a wife. Britt, I spent many years in Georgia, NC & SC. It's God's country man. I'm curious, since I have a "milder" southern accent than yours, how do Filipina's react to your accent? As I travel abroad, folks love my accent, but sometimes can't quite follow what I'm saying unless I speak slowly, especially if I use some colorful local expressions. Rock on man! Very happy that you landed on your feet. Hope to meet you some day.
Loving the Channel Chris, as a Veteran moving to Cebu, Philippines in June 2024. I really hope to meet you and grab a beer! Thanks for all the Info brother!
I love this video! Great job doing the interview, Chris. Online dating in the Philippines is also a hit and miss. I guess you just have to take your time and get to know the person.
There are so many expats esp in the U.S. moved to the PH and never plan to live there again but only visit. Thanks for embracing our PH culture Britt and Chris.
Love Brett's unmistakable Albany, GA accent! Glad you like it there in Cebu; I'm from central Tagalog region, was stationed in MCLB, Albany for two years while in the Corps. Love it! 😀
Great interview man! And I was thinking about San Felipe Baja California and or Pensacola Florida... And my exact experience with online dating here in the states...
Great interview with Britt. It’s fascinating as most people including myself don’t recommend moving sight unseen to another country. But Britt shows the all-in strategy can work if you’re doing your research and being part of a facebook support group helps. Personally I found Cebu IT park to be a bit dull. The restaurants are a bit expensive and there wasn’t even a single pub that I saw. But you can definitely get a decent condo so I guess that’s its attraction.
Excellent interview! Just subscribe to you. Moved to phili6at 30 year old from US. It's AMAZING compared to the US. Moving back permanently to The Philippines next year at 38. Keep up the great content.
Glad I found your channel brother.. Seriously considering The Philippines for retirement after my divorce.. Keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber..
Hey Chris, great interview. Cool listening to Brett’s story. I’ve watched a few of your videos, good stuff. You have a very likable personality. I just arrived to Cebu yesterday. I’m only here for 3 more days then back to Manila for 4, then on to Thailand for 2 weeks. I went to Ayala Center yesterday evening for dinner, a coffee, and some air condition, lol. Small world. If you are back in Cebu from Noval would be cool to meet up for a coffee.
Great video i just stumbled across this vid, I am basically going to do the same thing, but I am moving to Thailand instead. Congratulations his interview sounds just like the way my life is going. Me and my ex-wife sold our house and separated in November of 2020 and we were finally divorced in September of 2022 because of the county and state not fully open because of covid. I did online it, actually meet a lady that was originally from the Philippines she was very nice but she had been hurt so bad by the men in her life she couldn't be the woman I needed so I broke that off. I haf a narcissist before her 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I didn't know what a narcissist was until I meet her. Have a great life guys you just confirmed that I am making the right decision.
GREAT VIDEO CONGRATULATIONS ! LIVING IN PHILIPPINES FOR 1 YEAR ! NOBODY IS IN HURRY , RELAX LIFESTYLE, ENJOY TEENAGER FREEDOM AGAIN - KIND OF ! AND THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE !
In September of this year I will be turning 55, and will begin drawing on a small state pension. I own my home here in Charleston, SC and would likely net a nice sum on an outright sale. I am single with no children, and am strongly considering making the same move as this gentleman here. I will have a pension and investments, along with future Social Security and could budget on average, $3500.00 US. it is comforting to hear that he is having a great singles life on less than that. Thanks so much for sharing!
Please don’t hastily sell your house to move in Ph. Try living there few months before you decide. It can be too hot or too polluted for you. Beaches are gorgeous! And one can hire a helper to do cleaning, cooking, run errands for $200/month.
This guys experience in the US is spot on. If you aren’t good looking or successful then online dating will be rough. In the PH women genuinely want companionship and dating a foreigner is usually new for most so Its good to hear of his experience. Though money will eventually matter. And if you get married, especially a women in her 20’s, you do marry their whole family. Just make sure you have some sort of income or at least a half a mil in the bank to get you to your SS as you will spend more long term. And meet lots of local Filipinos. Most of my closest friends in the PH are Filipino and I have really experienced more than I could have only hanging out with other foreigners. 38th Park Ave is a nice building. And rainy season isn’t here yet. You are here during the best time of year. Enjoy and good luck!
The money does matter but I'd say it's more about stability and being faithful. It's simpler like can you provide food, shelter and a loving home. Something we all want.
For sure and there are great cities to do that in. Cebu City, BGC and Dumaguete are a couple of great options if you're looking to make foreigner friends.
I have been watching the videos and am convinced that I will be coming to the Philippines in the next few months perhaps which are actual dating websites and not scams there are so many out there from here that say they are Filipino Keep up the good videos thanks in advance Marvin
Man you can tell this guy Britt is a happy camper in The Phils. I would be too. It looks like he has a great place to live plus he stays under budget as a newbie. All the best to him and i hope to put myself into position to do the same in the near future
Hi Chris i just subscribed to your Channel . Thank you for interviewing this nice man. Mabuhay Watching from Virginia USA. Keep up the good work. looking forward for the next one. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
You mentioned a community that helps those looking at moving to the Philippines in this video. Can you provide a link to that? I am going for a month next year and plan on retiring in Cebu in 2028. I would love to get to know others in the area and learn from their experiences.
Chris, Just discovered your channel. I’m 68 and wondering and asking how I would fit in there? I’m healthy and active and have always liked the Asian people. I’m retired but still have work part time because they asked me to keep working. I’m just living day to day just routinely. Ready for some excitement. Thanks if you can reply. Tim
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 !!!
@@CarefreeChris yep - visit it from nearby and still enjoy - but live daily much cheaper and better air quality ? Wise up and really get your money's worth !!!
Omg you guys are amazing talking about your experiences about dating. I am a filipina am here in the USA an on the dating site for a long time but never dated in person because I'm still scared to go out there lol. I am excited to retire in my home country Philippines.

GREAT VIDEO CONGRATULATIONS ! LIVING IN PHILIPPINES FOR 1 YEAR ! NOBODY IS IN HURRY , RELAX LIFESTYLE, ENJOY TEENAGER FREEDOM AGAIN - KIND OF ! AND THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE !
Yes. Great live here in the Philippines
In September of this year I will be turning 55, and will begin drawing on a small state pension. I own my home here in Charleston, SC and would likely net a nice sum on an outright sale. I am single with no children, and am strongly considering making the same move as this gentleman here. I will have a pension and investments, along with future Social Security and could budget on average, $3500.00 US. it is comforting to hear that he is having a great singles life on less than that. Thanks so much for sharing!
3500 US is great budget brother
Please don’t hastily sell your house to move in Ph. Try living there few months before you decide. It can be too hot or too polluted for you. Beaches are gorgeous! And one can hire a helper to do cleaning, cooking, run errands for $200/month.
Being from the South, he's probably used to the humidity. The Philippines sounds like a great fit for him.
I came from Colorado. Weather has been a nonissue for me
He’s from South GA. He’s not going to see trans people. But in Atlanta, he definitely would.
@@CarefreeChris Bonus.... There's air at sea level.
This guys experience in the US is spot on. If you aren’t good looking or successful then online dating will be rough. In the PH women genuinely want companionship and dating a foreigner is usually new for most so Its good to hear of his experience. Though money will eventually matter. And if you get married, especially a women in her 20’s, you do marry their whole family. Just make sure you have some sort of income or at least a half a mil in the bank to get you to your SS as you will spend more long term. And meet lots of local Filipinos. Most of my closest friends in the PH are Filipino and I have really experienced more than I could have only hanging out with other foreigners. 38th Park Ave is a nice building. And rainy season isn’t here yet. You are here during the best time of year. Enjoy and good luck!
The money does matter but I'd say it's more about stability and being faithful. It's simpler like can you provide food, shelter and a loving home. Something we all want.
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
For sure and there are great cities to do that in. Cebu City, BGC and Dumaguete are a couple of great options if you're looking to make foreigner friends.
So looove your content!!❤🎉
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
I find your channel, a fun reality show and fairplaying video interviews with backgrounds of my home country Cebu Philippines. Cheers
Thanks for watching
Congratulations for being happy and contented with your life style in Cebu
Yes. Thank you. Hope you’re great there too.
I have been watching the videos and am convinced that I will be coming to the Philippines in the next few months perhaps which are actual dating websites and not scams there are so many out there from here that say they are Filipino
Keep up the good videos thanks in advance
Marvin
I would use two, Bumble and Facebook dating. The rest are garbage imo.
You can just pick up women in the mall.
Man you can tell this guy Britt is a happy camper in The Phils. I would be too. It looks like he has a great place to live plus he stays under budget as a newbie. All the best to him and i hope to put myself into position to do the same in the near future
He’s having a great time here
@@CarefreeChris He looks so happy he has to sit on his hands to keep from clapping

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

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.

You mentioned a community that helps those looking at moving to the Philippines in this video. Can you provide a link to that? I am going for a month next year and plan on retiring in Cebu in 2028. I would love to get to know others in the area and learn from their experiences.
Should be in all the video descriptions
@@CarefreeChrisThanks Chris, not sure how I missed that!
Chris,
Just discovered your channel. I’m 68 and wondering and asking how I would fit in there? I’m healthy and active and have always liked the Asian people. I’m retired but still have work part time because they asked me to keep working. I’m just living day to day just routinely. Ready for some excitement. Thanks if you can reply. Tim
Hey Tim welcome.:) You should come out and check it out. If you're able to work remotely it's a no brainer:)
Cheers from Valdosta. Thanks for sharing. Seems with 3k, you'll have some left over to travel throughout the region. Or short stay in Europe.
We shall see
Hi what area are you in at 38 park sounds great thanks for your great interview
38 Park Place is in IT park.
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 !!!
Yeah. I think my expenses will be cut dramatically next year as I’ll be out of the city
@@CarefreeChris yep - visit it from nearby and still enjoy - but live daily much cheaper and better air quality ? Wise up and really get your money's worth !!!
Guys Enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Live and retire full of happiness and joy 😊.
You know it:). Thanks for watching and commenting
Wow. I have also been in Central America for 3.5 years and feel like I have been getting pulled ti SE Asia.
It's pretty incredible out here
Omg you guys are amazing talking about your experiences about dating. I am a filipina am here in the USA an on the dating site for a long time but never dated in person because I'm still scared to go out there lol. I am excited to retire in my home country Philippines.
You should come home now. Your home country is absolutely spectacular
I know right. I just subscribed to your channel.
