Love your content. Your research is professional and covers everything that should be considered if moving abroad. I have yet to visit your web site but did want to ask if there are ways to sort specific information all of these places. I mean healthcare, housing prices, active life style of nature and the arts are in my top 5 but another thing that is really important to me is weather that is not completely over the top in heat or humidity. I have lived in Oregon for the last 25 years and have grown accustomed to the brisk mornings and with very few days in the100's over the 365 days throughout the year. Cheers to you and yours!!

Quick question. Why do so many of your thumbnails feature half naked very young women when your videos are for retiring? It's giving creepy.

My favorite channel hands down. Retirement in southeast Asia ? If you can do basic math, it's an obvious choice economically. Canada sucks big time nowadays. North America altogether. I'm 53 now, and 25 years ago I was already planning for my retirement. Get a small chalet and go fishing was all I wanted. It was possible back then, unfortunately it's not possible nowadays. The cost of living is astronomical here. Housing alone is insanely expensive so is everything else. I'll burn through my savings if I don't leave north America. My quality of life is simply going to get worse, my purchasing power is just gonna dwindle every year. If I want to leave something to my kids, I must leave north America.

I will sell my house soon, 2 maybe 3 years from now. I already have a retirement fund, combined with selling my house, I'm a modest millionaire. Social security is something I never factored in planning my retirement. I see social security as gravy on my steak nothing more.

I don't need to live like a king at all, it's not who I am. I just want to go sport fishing from time to time. Don't need to live like a king to go fishing. I could sell my house and buy a chalet on the lake, but this is not helping the cost of living in Canada. Everything else will just go up in prices. Food, gas, taxes and everything else. I don't want to own anything either, I'd rather rent now for my retirement. Being stuck with a mortgage ain't my thing anymore. I'd rather remain "mobile". I'm concerned about China actually. If the shit hits the fan, I just leave everything and go somewhere else.

As I'm getting older, I'm also concerned about health care, health insurance, life insurance. Some diligent homework is required here. Most channels rarely talk about this unfortunately. The cost of living in southeast Asia, if you're healthy is one thing, but we all know as you get older and older so is your chances of needing medical care. I'm 53, so far so good, but I know this won't last forever.

Not a popular subject I know. However it's still a big chunk of your monthly expenses so keep that in mind people. Simple math works fine if you add everything at the end of the month, including health care health insurance life insurance. Just saying. I don't want to come back to Canada. The taxes, costs of living, the badly managed government spending, the costs of heating my house alone is insanely expensive. Winters are brutal here. Scraping the icy frost from my windshield in the morning ? The insurance for the damn car, the house ? It doesn't make sense anymore.

Two to three years to go. Freedom 55… or freedom 56 in my case. Until then, I'll keep watching your channel my friend.

Hi Dan.. I’m Filipino Canadian my husband is Canadian. We retire early 55 and 58 years old and we are living in Bacong area of Negros Oriental it’s 15 mins from Dumaguete. We are renting a 2 bedroom bungalow for $550 US., it’s 5 mins walk to the beach. We love it here! We choose to just rent instead of building a house. We plan to move to Iloilo City next year as Iloilo has a western style infrastructure. We are so grateful to be able to retire early. We also do a lot of travelling. Philippines is our base as I’m from here. Our next trip will be in Japan . Love your channel!

When in Ubud: walk or scooter ❤

If you don’t ride scooter, order scooter taxi (Grab or Gojek) for $1-$2. Car for going out of town.

The beaches, the sea, paradise all become old after a while. In fact I know many expats who live in "paradise" who haven't been near the sea since they arrived. Can we see a video that gives realistic overview of good retirement places in Asia. Cost of living, health, infrastructure, social connections, transport, food, entertainment, cultural differences, friendliness of the locals etc….

I heard if your retirement pension income is already taxed in your home country will not be taxed again in Thailand.
