I really appreciate some of the comments on here, its nice to see that most of the respected members have taken the time and trouble to offer there help, and advice on my situation. Thanks also to the people who sent me Reps, i really didnt expect that as Im asking for advice on my situation.
It makes me feel a little bit humble to read all these great replies, i realise my original question now expanded upon, was a little bit "How longs a piece of Stringish" but the general opinion seems to be its do-able on my Pension, providing that i make the right choices, However i still feel the Healthcare issue may still be a possible fly in the ointment so to speak.
When i was in Phills i met and became friends with an American guy, who moved to Samal, and shortly after had a stroke, and his medicinal expences i was told are 30k per month, and he is basically housebound now.
