I'm up late, as well. But in 3 months, I will switch back to day shift for 6 glorious months!!

Spoke with the wife today... we contemplated retirement in the Philippines. I'm unsure.

If we do... I can retire for good in December. But if we make the move, it will be financially difficult to come back if I decide I don't want to stay. 🤔

Safe bet is to get to 53, cash out my sick bank at 100%... then adjourn to Florida. It's nice to know that I have options, though. She says 30k for the lot and 100k for a very, very nice house with central air.

I'm tempted.

One of my coworkers always talks about retiring in the Philippines. But he's from Kentucky, so I'm not sure he'd fit in too well. He's mostly looking at the strength of the USD there, and not the complete uprooting and entirely new life.

Three coworkers are from there. Two say they would not go back except to visit family. The third is a very wealthy surgeon who never sold his family home there and goes there for a few months every winter. He's well beyond retirement age, but doesn't plan to.

I heard you had hair where you didn't want it - maybe it's a good thing.

Danm-- lots of expats there, and the wife says they got 7-11's and KFC's and stuff.

Plus, I can speak tagalog enough to get by... but when I was immersed in the culture for 3 years, I was pretty good at it. I'd bet in a year or two, with enough sun, I'd fit right in.

mornin' ram and everyone.

heading down the Cape in a few minutes to check out a couple potential rental homes for a Summer vacation.
looking at 2 weeks I hope, one just goes too fast and I don't have to be back for work...

we rented one of the homes for a week last Summer, just want to take a peek to make sure it has been kept up, worked well for us. But I spotted another house in the area that looked "fresher" at least from the pics posted.

either way or even another way, we will spend a chunk of July August there.
