I agree with pumpkins, it doesn't matter where as long as I am with my second half. But there's no place like home
Philippines will always be close to my

We have 2 choices in Pinas.
Tagaytay or Sta Rosa. Place are both ready for us, but we're not yet ready
Not yet ready to live like king and Queen.
I still like Philippines, here if your old you will just wait the heaven in old nursing home waiting for god, while in the philippines (just avoid the noise and humid) stay away from Manila will be fine,have walked every morning in a sorrounded by tress,making fire through the dried leaves and sit on a rope tie on the tress,listen to the chicken tik tilaok, dog running around the backyard,ahhh what a nice life in philippines.
Ok I will be fair, if your retire here in the UK,you had money from govt. sometimes go town by car,used wheel chair or the electric car for old people,going ASDA/TESCO and if your children no longer look for you,they will sent you to nursing home or you will stay all by yourself in your house,cant get out everyday during winter cause you will feel cold,athritis.almoranas will attack during cold (this partly joke) no ants, no coakroaches, no mosquitoes
My choice: Philippines, life was happy down there indeed.

We don't know yet, we haven't decided just yet. Depends really, on finances and all(?) hehe. My answer did not help, did it?
have you been here before?
i thought you have only been here a week on a visit visa but you know alot about being old in the uk.
if your old in the philipines you need money to live,isnt having lots of kids to look after you the reason they you have so many
like a pension plan,isnt it

Good luck QueenbeeI wanna buy an island in pinas(beach house on a fine white sand,crystal blue waters and a massive boat or yatch) and jst grow old there with ma man...hehehe
that's my plan too but not likely to happen unless I win the lottery
Yeah, no place like home as they say....My hubby loves tagaytay when i brought him there a couple of times before....Hello Sophie I will take Pinas as your answer. It is that okay?Same here. I love Tagaytay!
And the weather is cold there so he won't struggle with the heat unlike in the city (las pinas) where i live....
So tagaytay is a place worth considering in the future
But that's still a long long way ahead, plans could still change...

Hobsons choice
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
thanks to whomever repped me
I have opened this topic to my husband but can't decide yet. Actually either of the 2 as long as we are together. If not in the Phils probably in Spain because of the weather, beaches, the culture and the food (i love paella huh!

Well as for the 2 choices,
I know for a fact that we will be retiring in Philippines when the time (savings
But just now, we are both enjoying life here in the UK, as we both know that we have more opportunities here to save money for our retirement
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
Spaniards colonised pinas for 333 years P&P,unless my memory is failing meI have a few books somewhere in storage on pinoy history,havent read them in years though so you maybe right about 400 years,I just remember 333 figured in it somewhere

You seem so homesick September. Knowing you just arrived in this country last month. Is this your second time on a visit/tourist visa? You seem not excited being in this beautiful countryand i know how it feels because I was in the same situation before
You're right i agree with your statements about getting old here they will stay in the home for the aged. There are advantages and disadvantages staying in the nursing home. But sometimes it is better to be with the same age group and being accepted, taken cared of and needed rather than being with relatives and not to feel the same.

Thanks Tawi2 i'm near the figures of the correct answer.Spaniards colonised pinas for 333 years P&P,unless my memory is failing me
Even Bicol dialect has Spanish words as well

And Bornabirth its just so happen that I am very observant whether I will stay here after the marraige or live in Philippines, and when I was young I worked in goverment so I managed to had my private pension plan and active the GSIS as well, I am working in Congress for 15 years, and file for 6 months leave, and so I need to decide after 6 months whether I will live here or carry on working to my boss in congress.
Well, speaking as someone who has lived in the both countries, I would suggest that if you're gonna stick around the UK that you learn to like it - or even love it - otherwise, you'll be unhappy the whole time, and that's no way to start a marriage.

That's just some advice from my own experience.
Hello pumpkins! Yeah, great to know what you are up to. That is one good break! I do like scrabble as well. Well, who know, maybe one day icome and visit both of you when that time comes. It is a bit too early to think of retirement when you are just starting. It is just worth knowing. All the best and maybe we meet up here?hi bless.books
my husband is here with me now so we been busy together..we been to an island "we treat as our paradise".. no internet there and far away from the city, hard transportation..that is where we plan to live when we come here full time ...so now we are back here in our house and we just keep tracking spouse application and we making our self busy here..as of now we are playing scrabble..so while its my husband turn ( long waiting) am reading forum.
nice to hear from you bless.books
Hello liane! Thank you for sharing. We have the thoughts, anywhere will do. But as we all come to that - retirement ... it would be worth thinking about it this early, so we can prepare for it, perhaps saving more ...I agree with pumpkins, it doesn't matter where as long as I am with my second half
Hello pennybarry! Thank you for sharing. Hey, I like thatWe have 2 choices in Pinas.
Tagaytay or Sta Rosa. Place are both ready for us, but we're not yet ready

Hello September! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I don't think I could add more to that
Hi september, you are quite a good observer, keep it up
And Bornabirth its just so happen that I am very observant whether I will stay here after the marraige or live in Philippines, and when I was young I worked in goverment so I managed to had my private pension plan and active the GSIS as well, I am working in Congress for 15 years, and file for 6 months leave, and so I need to decide after 6 months whether I will live here or carry on working to my boss in congress.
And being homesick is normal, specially for someone like you who's just been here a little over a week....
By the way, what department/division in Congress are you working for, if you don't mind?
I have a close friend who works in congress, you probably bump into each other already
