“And working in a call centre is considered a middle-class job (new recruits start at $470 a month).”
This is why I’m probably going to retire to the Philippines. Retire young to a place where your money can go a long way, and the beautiful girls will line up to marry ya... where’s the downside?
If I weren’t already married ( to a Japanese woman ) and didn’t own a home in Japan I’d be there !

Speaking as someone who’s married to a Filipino and has lived in the Philippines for 5 years, I can confirm that there is very little downside.
The Philippines is a wonderful country. I do sometimes miss the much greater variety of food in the U.S, and the ants, mosquitoes, flies, and other unknown creatures I’d never seen before do bother me to a certain extent, but overall this is a great country to live in.
