Posting this for anyone planning on retiring soon who want to live well without spending a fortune.

If Hitlery gets the White House, this might be a place to check out for those who might leave the USA.

“Aging European Men Like Young Asian Beauties and Economic Opportunity”

This is news? (But I don’t blame them ... beats the heck out of where they came from!)

[FixitGuy]

Wait until all the Muslim “extremists” in PI hear about this.

[ASA Vet]

I was in PI in Feb. The reason is on my profile page. ;-)

[wideminded]

Congratulations.

Art Bell gave it a shot and came back to Nevada.

Congratulations ASA Vet. Good luck to you both. She will likely want a family. You won't have time to relax.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You lucky b@stard! :-)

[ASA Vet]

She's already aware I'm fixed. I joke with her that adoption is an option.

(I mean adopting her.)

[ASA Vet]

Oh, and I don’t plan on relaxing. We’re going to spend my remaining years running around having fun, except when she’s in school getting that RN.

Art Bell ran into some strange problems. Apparently a business enemy of his circulated a false rumor that he hated Filipino people, and this made it difficult for him to hang around in the Philippines. He also lived in the Manila region for some reason, which isn’t exactly the most charming part of that country.

[ASA Vet]

Thank you,...... Thank you,...... Thank you very much.....

[WesternPacific]

Thanks, we are planning to retire in PI in a couple of years. Will surly have to check out Northern Samar.

[WesternPacific]

I was lucky enough to find one of those too.

[stbdside]

I’m also corresponding with a nice Filipina. Very pretty and very smart too.

[Tainan]

Congrats and best of everything to you both.

Mabuhay.

I heard of a case in that town where the foreigner bought a property, met a girl (underage)introduced by a public official. When the foreigner and the girl moved in to their new property the public official advised the family of the girl to sue the american. He was harassed until he left his property same thing happened to the canadian friend of the american. They both left their property almost a year ago and never returned.

Back in the day, I found paradise in the philippines as well!!
