Who am I, and how was I able to retire early to the Philippines?

My name is Kevin. I hope you enjoy my videos of Dumaguete, Philippines where I retired early and live by the ocean. I often host beach parties with expats, and their Filipina wives or friends, where we swim and snorkel with colorful reef fish and corals and enjoy the island views. Please join me in exploring this beautiful area including day trips to waterfalls and mountain lookouts and island hopping. I will also show you the local infrastructure including restaurants, markets, medical facilities, etc. Please like and subscribe for more of this content.

    Hi Kevin. Just joined your channel. As i was listening to you, it was hard not to hear the waves in the background. The sunset and the waves, you cant beat it! I grew up in Lufkin, Tx. Used to go to Houston on the weekend. I was stationed at Clark AB 1986 to 1991. Married a Filipina and still married. 33 years and counting. Will join you in about 2 years there in the Philippines. Take care!

I'm from the Philippines but have been living in Florida for quite some time. I always advise foreigners not to go into business in the Philippines especially ( Farming, sari-sari stores, piggery, aqua farming ) you will surely lose your life savings and it's hard to recover when you are in your old age. But snorky business may not be bad. I also play the stock market modestly but now I prefer to leave it on Vanguard index fund.

I was lucky and got to travel the world at an early age.. I will be in the Philippines in a few months to live out my retirement.. after I get settled I will contact you through KZread or your email if you have one.. I would love to buy you a cup of coffee or a couple of beers and even supper if we have a few drinks in afternoon.. coffee is fine with me if you do not drink..

Albeit my name (why is for another conversation), I'm a highly successful, single mother of 36 years to 2 awesome grown and highly educated kids. I need to declare this now to avoid getting comments advising me to marry a young pinay to be my caregiver 🤣. I was born in the Philippines and grew up in the US. Hence, a great comparative advantage indeed should I retire in the Philippines. Through hard work and years of studies, I landed a career in foreign affairs/diplomacy. Although I'm not quite 60, I'm eligible to retire any day now by virtue of lenght of years in service and would like to check out my options in the Philippines. I do have a very attractive federal pension along with savings/TSP/passive income investments. I don't think I need SS, it can wait. I can't wait to talk to my family and friends with the sound of waves in the background while enjoying French pressed coffee barako watching the sunrise. I plan to be in the Philippines around the first week of December this year and will visit Dumaguete for sure. I hope to make it to Dauin (spelling?) one Thursday at least. Thanks for being our eyes and ears on the ground so to speak for some of us who are thinking of retiring in the Philippines. Best regards.

    I have been watching several expat channels in the Philippines and other countries and you are the first blogger I have seen that is smart enough to warn about the possibility of inflation outstripping the income growth of Social Security or any other pension or passive income streams. If new expats don’t plan on inflation eating into their budgets then they should consider that it is possible their budget might be reduced EVERY year by maybe 2% to 5% (or worse). Can you survive indefinitely there with a 2% + PAY CUT every year? Just as you should have an emergency fund or nest egg, you should also have a buffer or margin of error for monthly expenses to cover the possibility (likelihood) of increasing inflation.

I found myself in a bad place in trying to entertain each of them. Lately, I pulled the plug on each of them. So, point is it is too easy to find a girlfriend in the Philippines.

    No David, when I sell a PUT contract, I am agreeing to buy at least 100 shares of a stock on Friday IF it drops below a certain price….the kicker is, the other person has to pay me a price per share. If I sell a CALL, then I put up at least 100 shares up as collateral, and I make a deal with someone to buy my stock on Friday if it GOES UP! That person also has to pay me for the right to buy my shares. IT is IMPOSSIBLE to LOSE money selling a covered call, because I determine the price that I would be comfortable selling my stock in 1 week….normally 10-15% profit it one week. I know it’s not the best explanation. Maybe I’ll make a video showing both strategies, if y’all are interested
