Sad that we might have to leave our own country to retire.

That’s what exactly what I will be doing - either the Phils or Chiang Mai in Thailand.

Leaning towards the Phils, but health care is much better in Thailand.

Don’t know about retirement but Olongapo City was quite the liberty port back in the late 60’s and early 70’s.

If our country keeps going the way it is, I’m probably retiring there too. I’ve got a while to go before I get to that point, but my tentative plan is to try to get my own little island there, because there are plenty that are pretty affordable. For what you’d pay for a single family home in some parts of the US, you can get a 40 acre tropical island all to yourself that can probably provide most of your needs.

I don’t know about you guys, but laying around in the sun, raising a few chickens and goats, and fetching my lobster traps sounds like a pretty sweet retirement to me.

Philippines, and have China 100+ miles from you as they just put themselves there claiming that for their property and there they are. No, thanks.

I’m married to a Filipina. I haven’t gone there in ten years - too dangerous for White guys in many, many areas.

My bones ARE getting weary.

Miles to go though, miles to go.

I hope to retire in the Philippines by November, but I have been planning this for 15 years.
