Nothing different. Since you have been to my house, you know where we are, but we bought property, about 40 miles north of here. The big city, is starting to wear on my nerves. 🤪🤗
My SS isn't that much here, but it'd do fairly well in the Philippines.
Our in laws live in a gated like you, in Cavite and we both would never live like that.
Here in the USA we have 3 acres of rural SW Pa and it serves us just nicely .... small town, locals love us and we them . . . Chief of police and magistrates are friends and my wife's employer.
We like small town living, but she does not want to go back.
