  Add me to your data base. When I retired and then left for the Philippines at 63 from the USA, I had $150000 and now going on 6 years living overseas, I have $155,000. I have SS, 2 small pensions and dividend/interest which adds up to $3000 in retirement income per month. Discipline, living within your means, living in a cheaper country, paying your bills, travel and still be able to save money.

  Got £200,000 at 56 stressed and miserable working 7 days a week, going to Cambodia in January to retire. Have 12 years till my pension, lost a few mates recently and thought life&apos;s to short so let the adventure begin.

  Hitting Thailand from Eastern Canada soon as the house sells, $800-$1000 pension per mt with over $200k savings, ready for a quiet life in Chang Mai/phukett🙏🏻

  I moved to the Philippines after I retired at the ripe age of 42 with literally nothing but a monthly pension. I was firm on living off 2,000 pesos daily for my basic needs, including beer! &nbsp; In less than 4 years, the farm I dreamt of, worked on and ran became self-sustaining and then some. I am living large, my own definition of living, considering that most of my 2,000 pesos per day budget for basic needs now go to &quot;leisure&quot; bucket. Go figure. &nbsp;My hack is proper planning, realistic expectations, flexibility, living humbly within my means, show kindness and then everything else is icing on the cake. In a couple of years I will draw SS. &nbsp;Living like a king? &nbsp;You bet I am (and in my own terms).

  Many people save and never think about retirement at 55 years old because they’re healthy and thinking about retiring at home. &nbsp;Then something happens that hits home and lets you know time is more valuable than money. I had a million saved in the USA and was thinking about retiring at 62 but once a had a few health scares I said screw it and left for the Philippines. &nbsp;Take Social Security as soon as you can to subsidize your savings. Any thoughts about not having enough money will quickly disappear. &nbsp;Good retirement to you all

  Excellent Vlog... I am similar to the Corporate Guy - PULLING THE PIN SHORTLY before my 61st Birthday. Live the life you love in SEA.

  I am retired and have some cash saved. &nbsp;Easily affordable to live in some country like the Philippines. &nbsp;But the fact that I had to wait has given me a few problems. &nbsp;Health concerns now keep me from traveling and I can no longer tolerate the heat. &nbsp;I truly beleive that had I left about 5 years ago I would not have the health issues I have now. &nbsp;Stress and injury caused my issues. Both were work related. &nbsp;I still dream about living in Panama.

  The divorced guy who waited 10 years or so before making the move, may have regretted he didn&apos;t &nbsp;do it sooner....but one thing for sure, he did the right thing by his children for staying. Period. He shouldn&apos;t have any regrets. Just my opinion.

  You don&apos;t generally need as much as you think. But you might need more. You need a decent safety net for the unexpected

  For me, the numbers are critical to the move decision. I really appreciate when people take the time to share how much they had saved/invested, their budget/outflow and how their finances are working out for them. Thanks for this vid.
