Ready for retirement

As a US citizen, I have always wanted to retire somewhere else. I came across this author who specializes in retiring to faraway places. I am loving this book. The author takes you through everything there is to know about the logistics of moving to the Philippines and the recreation aspect of the area. I am so excited to keep looking into retirement here, as I have 5 years until I'm ready.

This book answered a lot of our questions and more

With family roots in the Philippines, my parents have been seriously considering retiring back there, and this audiobook couldn’t have come at a better time. It covered every question we had—and a bunch we didn’t even think to ask. From navigating healthcare to finding housing and budgeting in a practical way, this guide dives into details that make the idea of relocating feel less daunting and way more achievable. The section on managing finances once you’re living there was especially helpful. It’s not just a list of facts; it gives you a real feel for what the experience would actually be like. My parents are feeling a lot more confident about the possibility, and so am I. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone considering this big move.

A lot of great info for your move

I've been listening to various audiobooks for places I'm considering moving to when I retire. This one offers a great amount of information on relocating to the Philippines. I appreciated learning about the visa process and healthcare options, since this differs from the United States. The island has a lot to offer, and this audiobook breaks down the various luxuries of living in the Philippines. Take a listen if you're planning to move there or consider it!
