- Retired on Social Security in the Philippines/My First 30 Days/Was it Boom or Bust? There are many Challenges Facing us as we Transition over from or working life and into our retirement years.Some of us decide that a complete change, in a new country, is our way to possibly discover ourselves, and begin a journey that will not only test us, but also lead to a much more rewarding and fulfilling life in the winter of our lives
We subscribe because we are envious of your lifestyle while we are trapped in boring careers and mortgaged to the hilt
I feel ya
You don't have to be envious of anyone remember you have the same opportunity as anyone and no one is forcing you to have mortgage and job you don't like it's your choice dude😅😅😅😅
@@addictcar69 true that, do something about it
Bro you just told yourself that you need change in life.....do it!
@@boondockswokandgrill8459well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine today! SMH.
😎👍🇺🇲
All sound advice.
I like the idea of staying in a hotel for a while.
I could get by with a small fridge and a kettle for coffee.
Or an Airbnb for a few weeks.
I was finally able to return a few months ago. Stayed for only 2 weeks.
We traveled to several cities and spent some time on busses.
My friend had a death in the family so that threw a wrench in the vacation.
Nevertheless, we dealt with the situation the best we could.
Overall it was a great "get my feet wet traveling" experience.
I learned a lot.
It was merely a practice run.
I also got the chance to meet my long time chat mate. Chatting for 6+ years and never met in person)
We had a great time hanging out.
I walked a lot to soak up the environment and teach myself to watch my feet.
I may retire there. Not positive yet.
I'll certainly stay for awhile and skip around.
The Philippines is a great place to adventure. But only if you have an open mind and a keen eye for weird stuff.
Cheers ✌️
good info: when i moved to p.i. i lived in 2 hotels, one in manila (malate) and one in angeles city. great monthly rate, security, 24/7 electricity(they had generators), swimming pool, never ate there, but just outside sidewalk eatery, breakfast usuallly $1. made a lot of friends , employees of the hotel, still in contact with a few of them. always tried to befriend a local cop, never know when it might come in handy, and it did. take care.
Thanks for sharing
I subscribe for the entertainment value😅. I am retired and am too old for the Philippines. Enjoy your story telling ability!
Wow, a very sound advice. To answer your question why a nut like me listen to your blogs 😮, because your advice in moving to the Philippines 🇵🇭 makes a Very Good Sense and how to stay out of financial headache 👍🙏❤️.
101st Airborne Screaming Eagle Veteran … saluting you
I arrived here (PHP)..May 12, the 13th, bought a 2023, BajaJ Maxima, for transportation. Living in Airbnb's for $11.00usd daily since, (monthly rates)..."Duma" & Valencia, great area. Been at the Valencia Plaza for Sunday walkabouts and Produce deals. HyperMart & Robinson's...Hope to "bump" into you Paul & BabyMae....some day.
Ooppsss, forgot to mention, information from your videos in the past, were very helpful.
Very nice!
Good video Paul. I am coming next month for 6 months. I am budgeting $5000 my first month to buy a vehicle as soon as I land in Cebu for around $3000. I am too big and spoiled to take public trans and I want to be in my own air-con safety cage not on a dangerous motorcycle. I plan to travel all around to the normal places like Iloilo, Dumaguete, etc and end up in Butuan City before settling down and getting an apartment for the remainder of my time there. I will get month to month only. Once domesticated and not a tourist I plan on about $1500 a month which should be plausible because I prefer to eat healthy at home, rent is cheap there and I dont hang out in bars or expensive places, just want to drive around and see things and go to the beach. From there I might drive down to Davou or go up into the mountains which I hear is a lot like Baguio (cool).
Don't OVER-PLAN ! Be flexible . . . PLAN ON being flexible and adapting. Be open to experience each day . . .
@@Dean-b2f if you dont plan and budget your money then your a fool that will go broke fast. Ive planned my whole life out including this trip and its been working so far hehehe.
@@leftyinhesperia1662have fun driving there.
Thanks Paul for the general information on any subject matter, it's always up to the individual to make his choices , but, still do their own research in the Philippines,
Thanks Paul, for sharing lessons learned. Other lessons provided by your subscribers are an added bonus.
One comment, things are changing in the Philippines. There are a lot of hotels, even condos that accept credit cards now and you won't have to pay in cash. But I agree that you on having a bunch of cash with you, just for emergencies. My normal cash access is through ATM's using the Charles Shwab debit card.
My Charles Schwab debit card was compromised the first week I was here. I haven't been able to replace it yet.
@@dougm643 I use fidelity, and I opened 2 accounts, thus 2 separate atm cards with different numbers. Make sure they both work before you leave the States. I also use remittly if needed.
@@dougm643 Please provide more details as it would benefit a lot of expats that use that card. How was it compromised?
@@oahuguy3918 I first tried to make an ATM withdraw from a machine in Robinsons mall Dumaguete with 2 fails probably due to my own ignorance. I stopped at two. I then used the card purchasing lunch at San Ravel. That went through. A couple of days later I tried a bank ATM and asked for too much. That did not go through. Later I was contacted by Schwab that the card had been used to make a purchase at an animal facility in Colorado for a minor amount and they shut down the card. I used the card once at Publix before I left the U.S. a month or two earlier.
That’s my plan too. The only thing I’m not sure about is the US phone number and address.
Paul I've been watching your videos for a while now but this one is the best. In a 28-minute video you managed to answer most of my questions that I've been having before making the big move. So I know you've heard it before but I'm going to say it again thank you and keep up the great job you're doing.
Thanks for all your little bits of information Paul please keep them coming, they are invaluable as I want to visit in November with a view to living there eventually. Love to you and Baby Mae. ❤❤
I'm so happy that you are there to show us new guys what's it like . Would like to pick your brain as I will be arriving in Dumaguete next May. Please reach out to me if you have time. Regards!
Paul, Thank you so much! Very good video, and now because you mentioned it, I have installed Viber, So I'll be able to get calls from my other cell phone on my main cell phone as well as keep in touch with family efficiently. I'll also call my provider to confirm whether the international plan allows calls from the Philippines as well as to Philippines for no extra charge. 😎👍
Once again, great information! Hopefully some will gain the knowledge they need to make the transition to the Philippines smoother.
super helpful video and perfect timing for me personally. appreciate it
Very helpful information! Thank you Paul.
Congratulations on your anniversary! I retired early and planning to visit the Philippines and stay there for 3 months. I will definitely check Dumaguete and your Valencia area. Any recommendation on hotel or apartment? Thanks!
Great new couch very nice 👍
Thinking about it but not 100% sure yet. You give valuable insight. I just don't know if I can live there, despite that I am not too happy with quality of life here in the US. Might do a vacation and see.
Thanks for all of the videos over the years. As I approach
I believe that is your best video.
Viber works fine with SS although SS doesnt work very well.
Good video Old man!
Really thorough synopsis Paul! Thank you sir!👍
Great idea to rent and ride different bikes when first here to see what you like BECAUSE when you go to a bike dealer to see if you like a bike by riding it first you will discover that you cannot ride a bike. They tell you that you must buy it BEFORE you can ride it to see if you like it! The dealers' exact words. So beware and prepare.
Good advice paul . Something to look into before i come over 👍
Right now it’s 97F here in SC with 90% humidity.
Sounds like it might make sense to do some research up front at a nice hotel for a couple weeks in a few different towns. This would give you a great place to stay while exploring different areas while you decide where you want to settle. I feel like that’s what I would want to do even though it’s a little more expensive.
I just wanted to say. I had T-mobile when I came over but my phone had been with sprint before T-mobile bought them. My phone worked but only as roaming. It worked but it was expensive.
Air BnB solved my home issue until I found an apt... has everything and was at the time 25k with pool and all I needed (7yrs) ago
Very informative video, thank you Paul 🙂
Great video Old Dog!!😁😁
i will be exporting my ATT cell number to google voice before i get on the plane. local sim card when i land in Thailand
I'm making the move in the fall of 2024. I've been wondering about the phone text verification issue. Verizon charges $100 per month plush reg charges. It seems expensive, but I dont know if I have any other choice
Thank you
Thanks Paul a Great informational video
I think you did a great job finding an apartment in a foreign country by yourself in a short period of time.😊
Couldn’t find underwear that fit? What, are you bragging? LOL I’m not planning to move there but I still really enjoy hearing your stories. You do a great job of getting your message across and I’m sure you’re helping a lot of guys out by conveying your experiences.
Hey Paul, Baby Mae and Tada. Great knowledge pass (not advice :)). God bless!
You forgot Gaylord!
Great advice! Thankyou! I am retiring March 1 2024 at 66 and 6 months! I stayed working until I could collect 100% of my social security! I have been divorced 3 times and you have made me feel like a rich man! LOL Thankyou from New England!
Great Tips
I guess I need to transfer money over here, in the US first , then win I go over there it would be easer
Hey just noticed u got the selfie mode fixed High 5
Paul I think Dan can at 68 we should not pay taxes anymore
great info
Hi Paul, yes another good reminder🤭
Great tips thanks very much. See u in 29 months and 9 days but who’s counting? Lol
Paul, you make some very excellent points, particularly about considering staying at hotels/motels (and budgeting appropriately for them) versus apartments. The more I research a temporary stay there in the PI the more I've come to the same conclusions. I realized more and more that the added costs of incidentals associated with apartments equaled (and, in some cases, exceeded) the cost of a hotel room stay, as well as the inconvenience of having to manage those incidentals.
I've come to accept that I cannot reasonably expect to rent a place for $300/month that will be acceptable to me. I am looking at hotels in the range of $600-$900/month, but will include all of the incidentals (electric, internet, etc.) so that I do not have the burden of trying to arrange and manage those things outside of my rental payment. Additionally, I don't want to be tied to one place for any significant period of time, not to mention that I will be visiting during what I expect to be a high rental period (Nov. - March).
Your experienced input is so much appreciated!
Good video👍. Heading back over in a few months and the virtual phone number has probably been the biggest item Ive trying to make sure it works for everything. Googlevoice is what I chose and found it isnt accepted by some.
Google voice no longer works in Mexico, but Skype still works.
@@mylifethaidiy7045 Most American cellphone providers have free international calling to Mexico and Canada, not sure if it works in reverse though.
I have use Google voice in multiple countries and paid the $20 to import my American number. Free monthly service. Only problems I've had is I can only make outgoing calls from my computer because I refuse to link a foreign number to it. Also sometimes touch tone prompts don't work. It's free and I get to keep my american number so definitely worth the hassle to me.
Yes, I watched numerous videos from expats in the Philippines for about 3 years before making the move to Cebu in May 2023. The info really helped me prepare, especially about having multiple financial resources to obtain my money from the states while in the Philippines. I also utilized the info regarding what to expect when arriving at the airport and about the visa extensions. Already made my first visa extension. I pay an extra $100 per month to use my USA phone here in the Philippines. I also have a Philippines phone with the Smart SIM card. I have found it easy to communicate with my family in the states as well as take care of business in the states using my USA phone. I purchased 10,000 Philippine pesos while in the states that was express delivered to me and carried $9,000 cash. Yes, whenever I try to exchange the US hundred dollar bills they are very picky but have only rejected one so far. I got that heads up from watching the expat RUclips videos. I used Expedia to book and pay for my hotel and I used Expedia to hire a SUV to pick me up at the Cebu airport. All was worth every penny. Keep up the great videos.
Paul there are many channels but you are the only one that sounds honest and fun to listen to. The rest are either boring as heck or don't know what they are talking about
Agreed 👍 😊
Before traveling to a foreign country you can get foreign currency before you leave. Just ask your bank. You typically have to wait a week. There is probably no rate advantage but it is one less thing to worry about when you arrive at your destination.
I got lucky my first trip there. I went to Tubigon Bohol and rented a fully furnished pension house near the town center. Near the market. It had Wi-Fi and free coffee and breakfast included. It had a full kitchen and was run by a USA expat and his wife who were able to give me LOTS of helpful hints. Wandering the streets downtown at night and eating street food, drinking beer, and going to local small disco /ktv places was great fun. I was under no pressure, and had a great time while learning a lot.
Thanks for saving me from making costly mistakes in my first 60 days in PH.
I subscribed to a great friend whom I have never met, but seems as though we think a lot alike. Paul, I always enjoy your content, subject matter, and your delivery.
Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 Paul me auld 🌼 flower I love your speaking voice it
Helps me 😴sleep just kidding
Your humanity shines through brother thats why we subscribe
Good information on here..
Wonderful!
This is a great video. I would not have thought about negotiating with the hotel for a 30-day stay for a better price than the daily rate and then I'd have the time to look around for an apartment. The T-Mobile information was quite useful, especially since MagicJack wasn't accepted at some places. I think I'll look into switching my Verizon # over to T-Mobile when I upgrade my phone in the near future since it's over 5 years old (original iPhone SE).
Hi Paul,
Hindsight is 2023! Excellent tips and advice here!
You, Reekay and Gio and have done a remarkable job!
Thanks to you….future expats who watch should benefit greatly from the experience and lessons learned, good and bad.
Gracias! 🙏
Americans planing on retiring to the Philippines ad live on their social security had better stop and take a good long look at the social security system. The system is broke and has been for many years when our government stole the social security funds and forgot to pay it back. Put that with the fact our government is broke and on the edge of defaulting on their 25 trillion debt we are in trouble. Make no mistake we will default on our debt very soon. We have opened the borders to a all illegal aliens that want to come into our country and this country can not afford that. We give them free cash, a free cell phone, free education, free section 8 housing HUD, free medical and about 100 more free welfare programs. We will default soon.. If your are in the Philippines or going you had better make sure you have a emergency fund available to get you out of the country once your social security and all federal checks are cut off. They have estimated it will be b 2030 but I think it could be sooner. it is coming my friend maybe even faster with the Ukraine war. And you can put your money on the table Israel is not going to let Iran have nuclear capabilities that story is playing out very fast and will change things also. We are living in a world with a lot of problems and do mot expect our bought and paid for career politicians to help much. Say good bye to the world as you know it and enjoy what time you have left there in the Phil's.
Well . . . If you are going to be a nervous nellie then you might as well live out the rest of your days in someplace fun and beautiful.
Great log, most informative. A question, " given 6 years down the track would you suggest maybe Air BNB over hotels now? Or are hotels still the best
Wow I have a friend that's been there for 4 years now. He came with 2grand in his pocket and 5grand in the bank. He now has 8grand in the bank and has a beautiful wife and only needs $500 a month to live comfortably. I guess it's how your taste are and what you need to survive and do it wisely. Some people need $3,000 month where others do great on $500.
The only thing I would add is a bugout plan.. I see so many youtubers now all talking about budgets here. You can not make a budget for a limited income. Keep in mind there is an exchange rate. It's been up for some time now but what goes up could very well fall down. For example if your budget is based on 1 to 50 what will happen if it goes to 1 to 25? Something to think about'
T mobile and philippines operate under the same GSM system.... people in the usa call me like I'm next door...
As a veteran expat living in the philippines, I would highly recommend NOT driving in the Philippines. If you rent, they will pin any damages on you when you return it. Ditto if you own a bike. You get in an accident and the cops will always hold you liable. Bikes are dangerous everywhere. I've lost lots of friends in Canada or seen them crippled. You are not a 911 call away from hospital and it's hard to try and figure out the road chaos in the Phils. I'm happy Paul has avoided any problems of driving in the Phils but I think he is one accident away from swearing off driving there, especially a motorbike. And, it's not like transportation is expensive there, so what is anyone saving ? 20 pesos to go across town. You get an opportunity to help some poor guy feed his family and school them. Plus you get to meet more people and learn more about what is going on in the community. I could see if one was living in Valencia Negros the handiness of owning a bike but I'd still skip it and go public transport.
Hey Paul, i have a question, i am with T-Mobile now in the US, now i will be coming there to visit my wifey ok, but later on we do plan on moving back to the Philippines, so my question would be, do you still have a cell phone with T-Mobile or did you switch to a cell phone there ? and if you did how do you call back to the US ?
Thanks Paul picked up on some of your points how to get started even after being in Dumaguete 3 or 4 times but next time my home base with be all sold up and what a nightmare that is but for me bikes are out of the question I will need driving tuition yes I come from right hand drive vehicles be strange sitting on the left but I will need a car pretty quick rent or buy let’s see,hope to find a storage place for a suitcase and then take of with a very very small backpack to visit folks I know.
If you are planning to get a bank account in a foreign bank, don’t underestimate the difficulty of doing this. It may not be as easy as getting an account in the US. Find out what you are going to need in the way of documentation, visas, and home address to open an account.
Good advice Paul. I've been with T-Mobile for about 20 years. I've been very happy with their service and pricing. I recently looked into the international plan and it's still an additional $50. However, they didn't mention any additional fees like the $15 activation fee you mentioned. I believe that fee no longer exists. I definitely think it's worth the extra 50 bucks. Especially for the first few months of being in the Philippines.
I have been with T-Mobile also for many years. I use the $15 month pre-paid plan. 3gb of data and unlimited talk and text.
When in the Philippines I can always make and receive calls to the USA with the wifi-calling feature turned on. I also can send and receive text messages.
Just an FYI.
Jim
@davidstryker7379Ditto. I just prepaid for a full year with Mint. For that very reason. For use in Thailand in my case.
you may find that things like text verification codes just sent via text by your home county supplier cost nothing extra. It may be all you need for the odd code for banks ect..i use this from the uk supplier and it works fine with no cost..i dont even have a contract in uk...just a number that i have to add credit to if i want to make calls...
I just got back from my 3rd trip there seeing my new house being built. I am on T-Mobile's 55+ plan for $30/mo. When I turned on my phone after landing at the airport I received a text from T-Mobile. It said I had free text, cheap calling, and slow unlimited data for free. It worked fine, and seemed to be Globe. This was on an unlocked Samsung a14 USA phone.
My first 30 minutes in Manila, I said what a sh***hole. :)
I retired and moved to Peru, can you beleve that shit. went thru most of what you did
Excellent Paul, I too dealt the phone issue my first trip to the Philippines. Was unable to receive a verification code to use my credit card.
Anyway best wishes for you & Mae and thank you for sharing.
Me too
That was a good story. Also good insight for the guys thinking seriously about making the jump. Most of the guys think to themselves "how can I be sure, what if something is different and I am not ready for it?" All your information was solid, you covered most all of the unknowns.
You came over within a few months after I got here. I remember having trouble telling the difference in the colors of the paper currency especially between the P50 and the P20 notes.
I also watched Reekay on his channel before I came over. I started watching him from shortly after the time he was hanging out in the jungle in Bohol which was about two years before I came over. He would go places and had a good talent for explaining what he observed and also showing what he was observing. These last few years however it became just him sitting at the table droning on and pontificating. I am glad he waited for a few years before ending up in that mode.
These days, you are one of the main guys and I applaud you. People can just look through your library of videos and find most all of the topics. Steve Johnson and his channel called The Philippines Info Channel is another good one. He is an independent guy doing the city life with a lot of friends, he perspectives and experiences are valuable.
One thing to keep in mind and thinking about this video that you did here about your initial experience(s)....a lot of guys come over here like a fish with a hook in their mouth being reeled in by a fishing Filipina sweety. Apparently they can be sooooooo sweet on the dating channels and when the guys get off the plane sweety is waiting for them and their whole initial experience is whatever sweety has set up and provides for them and it's usually touristy stuff and it's usually expensive. One of the tests is to see if you actually have money. Many of those guys (I would say all of them) are completely blindsided in terms of looking things over objectively and taking any kind of advice at all.
One other small piece of advice regarding the two-step security that most financial institutions do where they transmit a one-time-password (OTP) would be to communicate with those companies before coming over and find out exactly what their processes are and insist that they have included the ability to send the OTP via email. If they can't or won't do email OTP's then consider getting set up with another company. Using U.S. phones internationally is expensive and coverage is not guaranteed. These days doing Voice over IP (VoIP) outbound phone calls to North America is both easy and inexpensive. I recommend Skype for this and will note that just recently (within last couple of years) Skype has begun doing text for a nominal fee (like .012/160 characters). Also keep in mind that the financial institutions can send texts at no additional cost to you to an international phone number. Things have progressed, talk to them before you leave.
Mark tried to scam us with some stupid idea about selling photographs as art , we told him to screw , thats the real story
Appreciate this Paul. One of the things I'm worried about when I come over is the 2 step verification and the one time passcodes I may need that are associated with my current number.
Great info Paul!! Question, now that you no longer have a USA based mobile phone do you no longer require codes being sent to your phone for two factor authentication? My bank allows email as an alternative, however I know some of my credit cards do not allow an email for sending codes.
Great rewind Paul. Congrats on 6 years. We are coming in on November 27 and have a hotel room booked at the Florentine for 10 days. Would like to take you and Baby Mae to lunch or breakfast. Within a few days.
Being able to receive text verifications is critical - almost all financial institutions use it and few have an email option. Anyone living in rural areas where there is no cell service is aware of this. Which leads me to ask... do you now use a PH bank and just keep funds there so you can use local ATMs etc and not have to deal with the overseas issues? If it is possible to open a PH bank account it would seem like a no brainer to keep $5000 USD locally for emergencies etc.
🎉🎉❤ Long. Ago? I followed you for A while. T I p t o p t I remember You speaking of that but this is a good refresher. I think for another video you could make something how you met baby. Mayou? Probably did. One? Already. But maybe again?
Thanks for sharing!!
Great video Paul 👍. Sharing your experience and what to do once us expats arrive are priceless 🙏. Great information to know!Valencia is definitely a place I can see myself living one day in the near future 1-2 years? Will try to visit next year for sure. Blessings 🙏🌺🌸🌼
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Paul, thank you for the valuable information. I have just one question. How did you secure your cash for the first several months when you arrived to to the Philippines.
Thank you and have a blessed day
Ron
Hi Paul.
Thanks for another great 👍 informational video,.. I'm "taking notes" for becoming a future expat.
Keep up the great work and take care.
Thank you for this most enlightening video. I'm moving to the Philippines in less than two months and I hadn't even considered some of the information that you provided us in this video. The texting for example... I would've been screwed for real without this information. Thank God I have many friends there already who have also given me particular insights into moving permanently to the Philippines. Thanks Paul. You saved me many heartaches and headaches in a 30 minute chat. You have the information: keep giving it to us. Cheers...
I’m out on the road full time now after selling my house, so I haven’t been able to catch many of your vids lately. Glad to catch this one and hope you’re doing great, Paul! Take care!
All good
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 awesome! This is global Greg by the way. Looks like RUclips changed what name they are displaying for some reason.
Hi Paul do I need to notify Social security that I'm moving to the Philippines.
My Social Security check is deposited to my US bank but I gave SS my Thailand address. They occasionally send regular mail. The SS office in Manila provides service to all Social Security recipients in Asia. I applied for SS using the Manila office.
@@martypoll I will be retiring in Thailand in the near future. Does thailand has SSS services to apply for your pension ?
Or do you have to go to Manila, Philippines to apply for SSS ? Thanks for the answer.
Really appreciated that video. I'm going through the process of moving in the future. So I did find value in it. Don't expect a check in the mail though. Take care!
You look healthy now ❤
You dirty old dog you always produce the filth
And it’s so entertaining
I Love your channel
Your my favourite channel to watch on RUclips
Keep up the outstanding work 😊
Hi Paul, I was planning on buying and registering a scooter when I came to the Philippines. But a friend of mine living in the Philippines has told me that people staying there on Tourist visas are unable to register anything and I'll have to rent. Is this correct?
There was a time when there was no help from cell phone, atm, internet, or bank for that matter. But somehow we got the info we needed and prepared accordingly. Today's information age has surely made it easy for the less informed and clueless. Not sure if that is necessarily a good thing.
I subscribed coz Rick introduced your channel to me. He likes watching your channel. And i absolutely like to listen and watch your video's. Very informational, explaining things clearly and in a very detailed way. No hanging questions after watching your video. Very detailed and specific. ❤
When did you open a local bank account?
2018; my first visit to the Philippines. Before I left the US I went to currency exchange to cash in $1,000 USD for Pesos. When I ask for this amount the girl behind the counter had this look on her face like I was going there to buy drugs. She must have asked 10 questions why I needed so much? Before she asked the next question I ask for my money back and left. I then went to my insurance carrier AAA and asked for the same thing, got the same look but I was able to get the money. When I thought about it, I asked myself how many times have they been to the Philippines? Zero is the answer I came up with. Good thing I had that money because none of the ATMs at the airport we’re functioning and it was night time so currency exchange at the malls were all closed.
One thing I should’ve done, but didn’t, is get a Philippine Driver’s license right away. I think a western driver’s license is only good for 60 or 90 days if you decide to drive. I don’t know? All I know is I got sick and tired of public transportation, was not going to get a scooter because it’s just too dangerous to drive out there on two wheels and decided to get a car. I don’t live in Duma. I live in Cavite. And if you’ve ever driven down the main street here you know what I’m talking about.
Hello Paul, I hope you and baby Mae are doing well, I know this is off subject but I will be turning 62 in august 2023. Can I draw my SSI and still live in the PI
Yes

Also re phones. If it gets stolen any codes go to the stolen phone. It's a nightmare. DON'T HAVE YOUR PH STOLEN. Great videos btw.
This video is why I'm going to subscribe to your channel, sir!!! Excellent, Excellent, Excellent video of what the do's and don't's are when traveling to the Philippines. Especially having T-Mobile for the phone service. Thanks so much for your information and do's and don't's when going to the Philippines. Much appreciated sir.

Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏.
