My wife's island's brownouts are 24 hours, they sometimes pay someone a little to use their genny charge their phones.Originally Posted by gWaPito
I will retire in the Phils also, but would need a genny to listen to music and use the laptop, and of course the small problem of airconditioning and leaky heads
is it a fact that most on here will retire to the phils , i for one is wanting to do it sooner then later but its knowing you have enough income or savings so you dont have to come back to england, its what amount that is , i am hoping for 130+ in 9 time if not before that should last me and emma and the children if they happen
9 years that was ment to say
I think all of us wanted to retire sooner rather that later to the Phils, the fact is you need money, lots of it to lead a comfortable life.
The reallity is, we want children first, get then through there early years then move out.
You got to have a realistic plan, a plan you can stick with, we have that plan and are staying with it.
It's easy to get carried away when you go out there for the first time, we come from a society where we get now and pay later, this is big time major life change for everone, not just for the 2 of you, many family members involved too.
You have to have funds to return to England, weather you want to or not. Be it for health reasons, family/friends deaths and other emergencies.
You can not cut out the UK. In time your wife will return with or without you. There is a 21 year age gap between my wife and I, my wife will out live me, for sure.
I want my wife to lead a comfortable life and if it means coming back to the UK to live, then so be it.
My wife is working now, she has many years contributions ahead of her. I want her to claim her old age pension, a pension she would of paid for.
You need to think years ahead, Steve.
gwapito I hear what you say but think its a very wise person that knows how much is enough or what the state of play will be here 20 years down the line.
Somtimes its best to trust your heart and allow life to show you otherwise you could loose for ever your chance to fulfill yourself because of the fear of what will become of me fact is you get one chance at life and everyone is as free as they feel to engage.
My plan is to keep taking the next breath as long as possible and take the opportunities that present themselves and if I need help in the future I hope Ive done enough to deserve it and brave enough to ask

Seems to me we have to save up a fair bit of £, then change it at a good £/PHP rate (!) and have ultimate trust in our wives.
We have nothing without good health, so look after ourselves and our wives/children in the meantime

You still got to have plans, Keith. We plan to move out there within 7 years.gwapito I hear what you say but think its a very wise person that knows how much is enough or what the state of play will be here 20 years down the line.

It would be foolish in my opinion to cut all ties with the UK.
We intend paying all our national insurance subs so, at least my wife can claim her pension many years down the line.
I accept you have to risk to make worth while gains and Im all for that.
There is a difference between calculated risk and down right foolishness
Im am not implying you are the latter, Keith
It is just getting the balance right
I agree, Apo. Without health we surely do have nothingSeems to me we have to save up a fair bit of £, then change it at a good £/PHP rate (!) and have ultimate trust in our wives.

Carry white vinegar in your swimming attire bag.
I saw someone years ago have a heart attack because of those stings.

All risk has a potential downside
None of us here has any idea what will have happened by this time next year regardless of our reassurances to ourselves.
My view is if it feels right and im brave enough "go for it " foolish as that may seem to anyone else.
The only certainty I have found in life is change the choice is ,for me , how I respond to that change, is it some thing to be embraced or feared?

I don't intend going out there on a wing and a prayer and hope for the best
The chances are, everything will be lost, deported and back to the UK and the Salvation army
Using your heart as a guide is not wise, you got to use your head mostly, Kieth.
I wasn't calling you foolish
Far from it, I was looking from my point of view. Believe me, I nearly lost it all last year, it was a scary few days.
Of course, if you have little or nothing to loose here, then why not, go for it. I have much to loose.
Like you said to gparry, we are all different, us men and our filipina's
Very true
