Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, I liquidated 200k of 325k from my 401(k) it has yielded nearly 1 m after subsequent investments so far.

Move out of the country. Don't sell your house, rent it out. Your house will help finance your new life.

Dan is a good host. He let the guest talk n doesn't interrupt. Watching from Bay area CA.

My story is so much like Pauls except I retired at 50 and moved to Fiji. I am now 67 and will be moving to Asia at the beginning of the year and slow traveling til my end of years.

Perhaps the most important element in a successful life in the Philippines, is to be lucky in love. That, and a partner who is faithful, honest and financially responsible, with some skills and income stream of her own. It’s a big ask to get all the above, and in my 25 years of experience of the Philippines, very few get it right.

Dan has traveled to more than 67 countries and gives away lots of valuable info, Paul is a good guy, but he has traveled only in some Estern Asia countries.

Good wisdom. I'm learning what's important in my 40's and in some cases feel like I've wasted a lot of time chasing nothing........

Same here. Moving to Turkiye in a few months and saying goodbye to the USA 🙂

My two favorite expatriate, social media personalities; both down-to-earth and personable.

Retired Air Force Officer here, was stationed in the Philippines, been back to visit many times since the 1980's. Here's the deal - the Philippines has it's benefits, however, it also has many, many drawbacks. If money is not an issue (like for myself), then America offers so many more benefits over living in the Philippines. If a man is on a social security budget, then the Philippines is a good choice. I'm in my 60's, love to kayak, play pickleball, bike ride, jet ski, fish around Florida, and live without "brownouts". I like dealing with people in America vs dealing with the Philippine people in the Philippines, because it's often some kind of excuse for something, or it takes forever to get things done and nobody seems to be responsible. The Philippines has unsafe roads, too much diesel smoke pollution, dirt everywhere, and a government that just isn't on top of things. Living in the Philippines ..... well, you just have to accept the way things are over there. Life in America can be fantastic if money is not an issue, and I'm not rich, just comfortable enough with a little extra each month. But, I will say, that perhaps the biggest benefit to living in the Philippines is, if you are a single man, meeting a nice young gal there is quite easy. And, I believe that most western men know that the Philippines is relatively cheap and one of the best countries worldwide to meet a nice young gal to date or have a relationship with, and older western men can easily date gals 30 or 40 years their junior. That's quite a big attraction for many men worldwide! Best of Luck!

Finally! Someone with a brain! Yes, aside from the health care issue, the Philippines can sometimes be a logical choice for those forced to live on a cheap-charlie Social Security only budget. With some cultural adaptation and acceptance that they won't be living a Western lifestyle, it's possible to live modestly on a Social Security check in the Philippines and have a live-in companion. Living on a Social Security check in the U.S. means poverty, reliance on government programs, and loneliness. The problem with old-age companionship in the Philippines, is the myth that these young Filipinas love old men. They don't! It's a biological impossibility. The world over, young attractive people are attracted to other young attractive people. No young woman wants to take care of an old man. Extreme age-gap relationships are based on survival and convenience. They always involve a desperately poor Filipina and a gullible self-deluded old man who was spurred-on by these snake oil peddling vloggers like Paul. And this lovely young Filipina usually comes carrying utang na loob (an obligation to support family). Due to this, most expat retirees will crash and burn and return to the states within 5 years. Many will return due to medical issues they are not financially equipped to pay for out of pocket.

I like the diversity and differences of the Philippines, that to me is the advantage ,when you are not on the day to day treâdmill and have many choices for entertainment and fresh foods at affordable prices.The weather is big plus also where I am from we get subzero temperatures with limited sunshine for months.The people of the philippines are also inviting and kind who will share there lives also.

Good to see two of my favorites sharing practical advice for retirement. From 62/63-70 I’ll bounce from USA & Philippines. After 70 just the Philippines

Dan, this is one of my favorite interviews . The chemistry and compatibility of both rich personalities that are just right down to earth. One learns so much about life while having fun watching this video. Good luck to both of you always.

He is cool, A car guy Some of the coolest people work in that industry. I can picture him desking some deals back in the day.

Glad you two did this together! You both have so much wisdom and understanding from your experiences to share. I've been a subscriber since you both started and I get Dan's reports on where I want to go. Retired 6 months now, donated all my belongings (don't need them anymore). I also get Dan's reports as a lifetime member too. Paul has some of the most heart felt videos that have had such an impact on me. I've spent 3 years preparing myself by getting into the best physical shape possible to be ready for my journey. Retired at 62 and 6 months on my journey already in Mexico. I'm in Queretaro which is in Dan's top 5. It belongs in the top 5! I'm following your advise and finding such great places in the Centro area. You can definitely live here very well under $1500 per month as Dan has shown me how it was possible! Almost tempted to c'mon over to where your at now instead of another 6 months on this side. Please follow both of these great gents of our time. you won't regret it!

I have been married 3x in the states, (slow learner), everything your saying applies every where. Been single now eight years, more savings than ever before. Travel two to three times a year, Japan, Europe. May go to the Philippines next, I worked one summer in Hawaii when I was 16, loved it I love the Ocean...

I have watched The Old Dog from the beginning. He’s come a long way and stayed the same. True retirement success story.

Paul is my kind of guy. He’s my age. A minimalism and practical man. Just like my long lost husband. Honest and calm. Simple man to be with. I love this kind of man. Paul is humble and kind. It reminds me with my husband. I lost my husband for 43 yrs.Nice to know that there is still a good guy like him around.

The idea of leaving the videos so that your future kin know what DNA they came from is brilliant.

When Paul talks, everything is fair game. And he is honest, even at his own expense.

Paul's tips are golden for anyone looking to thrive in the Philippines. Really practical and inspiring.

This was a great interview. We should call him 'Old Dog teaching Tricks'.

I got enlighten with this conversation, Paul make sense, from big box house and a small box house, fancy car trying hard to make payment monthly, financial stress not living a life. now I wanna retired early and enjoy life.

Get out of debt and STAY out debt and living below your means are gold nuggets to keep.

I love listening to Old Dog. He is such a pragmatist and no BS yet polite. He is sort of an every man in many ways.

Paul , i truely believe your success in retiring in the Philippines is in large part due to you finding such a good woman as Baby May!

Good luck. I hope your days become fully yours. I'm just a few years behind ya. ✌️

Paul is correct in collecting social security at 62. Let me explain. I have done the math with my own SS, and several friends and it all works out the same. Try it yourself... By collecting at age 62, or 65, or 67, or 70 years old... by the age of 77 years and 5 months... you would have collected the same total amount at this age (77 & 5 months) give or take a few hundred bucks. Try it. 62/ 15 years and 5 months payments... 65/ 12 years & 5 months payments... 67/ 10 years & 5 months payments... and 70/ 7 years & 5 month's payments. Add them all up and it all is roughly the same by the time you hit 77 and 5 months. Only time you will benefit is if you plan to live well past 78. Like Paul says, enjoy it while you can at a "younger" age. What good is it when your 80? The government wants you to wait till 70, they are "banking" on you dying before you can collect anything.

Paul awesome, thank you for the interview. I'm somewhat of a minimalist. At 55 I retired early with a small pension from the US Gov. I'm 58 now and will collect SSI at 62. Great advice. I been going back and fourth from the carribean and Asia. Changed my western lifestyle, started to healthy, dropped weight and lowered my stress by 90% , started studying Buddhism and ready for a permanent move to Asia ( Asia is where my heart is). All I need as a master level educator and social worker, is to add value to my community through service, a 1 or two bedroom condo or small house , TV and Internet access (and a puppy❤ ) and I'm good

You’re an awesome human being, I listen to you and if I ever meet you, I’d love to shake your hand. Be safe, buddy.

I've been following Paul from the beginning and he is down to earth and very honest and real. I'm glad he has grown his channel and has still remained the same.

Took 12 years going to Philippines to find the right partner, went through hundreds of girls. Just married in Subic this year. Learn patience and traffic tolerance, PHILIPPINES IS NOT CHEAP EITHER!!!

I love listening to Paul. He is full of wisdom. This is an awesome video

Paul I would love to meet up with you. Your life story is much like mine. I have been in and out of the Philippines since 1979. I have my new Filipino family in Sorsogon, but I go everywhere north of Cagayan de Oro. I will not travel any farther south.

My favorite ex-pat interview so far! Humor and intelligence are very attractive!

Loved it!

Awesome video! 👍

I enjoyed this conversation, I can relate to a other of it, I have been married to a Filipina for 30 years, we met as pen pals through a supermarket tabloid,she was working in Saipan at the time and later in Singapore where I went to meet her in person, i ended up bringing her here to Florida on a finance visa we have a daughter, I retired at 62 she is 10 years younger, when she retires we plan on selling the house and moving to The Philippines

Great stuff!

Paul, I totally agree with your outlook on material things in life. Many people today would have been in a much better financial state if they didn’t concern themselves with material things. I learned that later in life; but thankfully it’s not too late for me.

You guys are my kind of thinking. Like Paul, it was a no brainer to retire at 62 becoz you never know how many years we have left. Let's face it, the powers would want us all to retire at 73...and keel over a year later! Great peeps..Now ask Paul if he want's to meet for a coffee?? (inside joke) Paul might get it.
