    Ah man u got it made. Have to have a citizen buy property and u have ur wife for that. I spent a cumulative 4 months all over the Philippines scuba diving, trekking, and general sight seeing when I worked in China, Hong Kong and Thailand and lived in Vietnam. Absolutely incredibly beautiful nature. The cities tho aren’t nice, very poor country, terribly slow internet due to the 7100 islands. But best and happiest people on the planet IMO. I hope to retire there or somewhere outside the US that’s cheaper as well but that’s far off.

      Yeah, we’re both 52, and I have jack saved for retirement, but I’ll own this house very soon, so I got that to rent out for funds.

      Can’t get over how many old white guys are married to far younger women, it’s kinda hilarious. Her ex, a real POS, was 72 and that same guy just married her niece! I sincerely hope she’s gold digging on that man.

      At every gathering it’s a bunch a white dudes, even older than me, and their women, slightly younger that mine. LOL, my girl was legitimately upset to find she’s 6-months older than me! I talk shit in front of her friends about my “old woman”.
