Philippines Living: The Radical Move
By Dave DeWall
Summary: Dave DeWall retired abroad to his wife's homeland of the Philippines. They live in a remote jungle area on an amazingly low monthly budget. Yes, such an adventure comes with cold baths, unwanted lizards on his bedroom ceiling and a few other "perqs", but he definitely doesn't miss the rat race and his old life in the U.S.

guestI will soon be moving to the Pines, with my native Fiance'how difficult is it to stay in the country once I move there, what must I do to move there legally and Permanent.
tlallen59Very nice write up Dave. I have been married to a Filipino girl for 13 years so I started building the retirement house about 7 years ago. We are moving in 16 months and we can't wait. I will be 55with about 1500 a month in pension so life will be good in Gingoog city, Mindanao. For those of you reading this you can live much cheaper in the province than the bigger city's, come join us!
guestGreat article and agree 100%. I retired from Verizon Wireless and don't miss a thing about the states. My wife is simple the most wonderful woman I have ever known and her family is kind and accommodating. I also grumbled a bit about a few things but this usually drew only a laugh from my wife and I quickly learned it was for naught and have adapted, even to the lizards who keep our home buy free. The abundant fresh food, the people, the climate (even the heat which cured my joint problems!) are great.
