With regards to health insurance in the Philippines, we found out that our health insurance benefits that we are still paying since we worked for the federal government in the USA were actually accepted in the Philippines, which is Bluecross Blueshield from FEHBP. The Medical City Hospital in Ortigas did accept our health insurance plan. You just have to pay for your deductible for your doctors visit and medication. They have an overseas kiosk that you can contact to learn if your health plan are covered. Last year, Saint Lukes Hospital in BGC accepted our bluecross blueshield insurance but not this year due to insurance affiliations change. They also have an overseas kiosk that you can contact and learn if your plan is accepted in there hospital. I hoped this help.

Nang lahat relatives here,same those peoples who knows us& close friends are all surprise ng they learned na magre- retire kami sa Pinas! Actually,say ko nga the lady talking or make.ds video ay parang si ako! Lahat ng sinabi nya sa.video yun ang reasons namin why we want to go back home,fav.ko rin si Dr.Ong! Ang wala lang kami bahay na sarili sa Pinas at mga pera sa stock market like she's talking, kasi very tight budget namin,kasi di naman kami professional like silang mag-asawa! We live pay check to pay check,kaya parang ipon namin yung 401K namin,happy na kami non,kasi yon lang kaya namin i-save! Upa na lang kami sa Pinas ng 🏡, para pag may nasira, di nasa bulsa namin galing ang pang gastos, pwede pang palipat lipat ng place na tinitirhan! Pareho rin kami ng Gunawan ng video,na ipinapasa Dyos,those things beyond our control! At Isa pa,lahat naman taU,babalik sa acting Creator! Para sa akin,instead of ignoring yun na 1day it's our time to go, kung we are preparing our retirement sa work,we have to prepare our retirement here on earth! Na pag tinawag na taU ni Lord,we can say na thank You very much Lord sa retirement time, we enjoy it with our family & loved ones while we are waiting U to send us back home, to our Eternal Father's house!❤🙏🔥

hahaha. marami oy. Kaya lang karamihan para sa low income na katulad ko ang mga blog nila. Yong mga advises paano pag kasyahin ang SSS pension na walang ibang source, paano mag side line na poultry or agribusiness etc. Pambihira lang ang mga high income na tulad ni madam ate Gi na gumagawa ng vlog about retirement kaya nabiglaan ka nanakarinig na ganito pala mag invest sa stocks etc.

You give very sound advice. We were a little bit like you guys as saving for the rainy days, having 401k, getting pensions from ssa and from the government but not as much as you earn as nurses. Our house here is paid off too and we acquired 2 lots in the phils. But until now, after retiring for 11 years, we havent decided if we will retire here or in the phils. I always think of the medical expenses even if we have substantial savings. I love how you plan your retirement. You seem so grounded. Good luck to you!

Kung medical lang naman, marami namang medical insurance sa Pilipinas. But for health insurance meron naman, depende na sa health condition mo. If it just visiting doctors, it doesn't require surgery or something na out of pocket. Then you have no choice sa US ka. Kaya it is very important merong economic freedom sa bansa.

Hi Ate Gi. I have just subscribed now. Your videos are so insightful. I moved to the UK in my mid 20s and have been here for 25 years. Still a bit far from retirement, i have the same thought process of retiring in the Philippines. I am a nurse too. Though given a chance to work in the US, I decided to stay here in the UK. Nevertheless, when retirement comes I will also be depending on the fixed income from the lifetime savings, state pension and the work pension that I have. I want to retire in the Philippines because of the same reasons you have. I am so happy to see your video and ecstatic to hear sensible stories of retirement planning from nurses abroad. I am happily single and not into mingling. More power to you both. And cant wait for the next video. Love to know what health insurance is better for balikbayans.

Good luck ma’am on your retirement. That is our plan too. We are planning to retire at 62 while we can travel. I think we have more than enough if we live in the Philippines and few months here in the US. Life will be simpler in the Philippines.

The moment I hear your voice, I immediately subscribe. It's just so calming. My partner and I are about to migrate to Canada as a PR. We are based in Abu Dhabi and have a normal, decent life. We were able to save so much and invest; my dilemma is about retirement, as Canada's cost of living is high, and we are in our late 30s. Our current passive income from investments allows us to comfortably retire indefinitely in the Philippines if we want to. But I'm not sure if this is enough or if it is still worth it to start a new life in Canada. So far, global mobility is our number-one reason for moving to Canada. Although we have rarely had any visa applications denied to countries we have visited. Other reasons we have are for permanency, health care, and lifestyle. I have these concerns about retirement costs, and I want to share our story as your videos resonate with me. Thank you.

Great topic. We are retiring at the end of this year and considering doing it in the Philippines. But like many, my concern is health care cost. I am apprehensive because a couple i know did an early retirement over there and it started just fine until the wife and emergency medical condition that resulted not only in surgery but a long stay in ICU. That cost them millions (pesos) in medical bills. Now i understand that there are health insurance options over there. Those who have purchased one over there could you share premiums and benefits.

Right now we are maxing out our 401k contributions, HSA and my kunti ding monthly contribution for kids College 529 plan. At the same time nag seset aside din kami kahit papaano for enjoyment like going to few vacation and eating out. We always buy used cars in cash and live in a descent size house (not too small or big).

Good find on my autofeed. I can relate to your story.Disagree a bit with the bigger houses here in the US and thinking we are buying more than we need. I bought my house for $300k over 10 years ago with 5 bedrooms and today is close to going over $1M. Me and my wife will turn 59 in a few years. The house sale + 401k + savings will allow us a comfortable retirement in the Philippines.. and will also allow us to wait out social security until it reaches the full retirement amount.

Hi! I did mention in this video the 5 streams of income that we’ll be tapping on when we retire in the Philippines. Thanks for watching 💙💜

Mam may i ask what kind of camera do you use in taking your videos?

I’ve never used a camera. Always just my cellphone. Currently using an iPhone 15 pro max. Oh, and a go pro, which is a small camera. So I do use a camera! Hahaha!! Thanks for watching 💙💜

What school did you graduate in Manila? Where will you retire in the Philippines? Did you inherit your house is the Philippines?

Thank you for sharing your retirement plans to the Philippines, wishing you all the best

My best to you too. Thanks for watching!

Ang galing naman ng editing skills mo. Saan po kayo sa States at saan din po kayo sa Manila? I'm in Florida and going to visit Manila, next week.

3 na lang po. Kaya puspusan ang preparation. They say the 5 years before retirement is very important in terms of preparation.
