when you retire..

[me_bee_da7]

where do you really want to live & why? let's take into account that you have the means to live decently anywhere..

it could be where you live right now, or a certain area in the country where you live, or another country you have visited, or some place you read in a book..

and what is the most important consideration that will nail down your decision?

[me_bee_da7]

i'll start..

i think i will not stay & live in one place as long as i can walk & am relatively healthy.. maybe a year in a cottage overlooking the ocean or any body of water with only the bare necessities & many books & a typewriter with only the sounds of nature.. another year in a quaint village in a European country where they milk cows & have a backyard of fresh vegetables where there is a telephone, a TV, & internet connection.. then when its winter where i live i'll go travel to a warmer place but not too hot for 6 months, to be with the crowds & enjoy the sounds made by humans & see their eyes lighten up on their new purchases.. i will stay with a good friend for 6 months or travel & enjoy her/his company.. wherever my feet, my heart, my mind will take me -- there i will be until i can't.

then when it is time, i will gladly go softly into the night knowing i had the time of my life in the way i wanted it to be...

[kim G]

kadarating ko lang from the phils.,and there's no place like home.Kahit mainit,matraffic,marumi,maingay and sobrang gastos sa pinas pa rin ako mag spend half of my time pag retire ko!

[mindweaver]

I wanna go back to the philippines and stay near the beach when I retire. Ayaw kong mamatay sa nursing home.

[TheClockWorks7]

babalik ako sa pilipinas when i retire. hindi ko sasabihin kung saan ako titira at baka maunahan ako. hehe. basta paradise yun at malapit lang sa luzon. masarap mga pagkain at masarap simoy ng hangin. walang mga magnanakaw at mababait ang mga tao. yup doon ako titira kasama wife ko. mag tatayo din ako ng chinese take away may alam naman ako sa pagluto ng stir fry at noodles. yup para naman maging busy.

i agree that it would make things easier & for the senior playboys kailangan yan

pero for those who just want to live simply in a unexpensive village by the sea somewhere lolz, i guess all one needs is some money to get by, your sanity, your health, & maybe an international health plan if you get sick..

[Palaweña]

move back to palawan, build my little kubo house with a balcony, enjoy the fresh air while drinking beer and have 2 big *** dogs.. ohh.. sounds soo good to me :P

yeah you're right.. two big big dogs haha

you know what.. breeding designer dogs would be a nice business on the side while you're at it!

[starry_night]

kpag kaya pa ng katawan ko, i'd travel around the world. pero home ko pa rin is philippines, somewhere near the beaches siguro. cebu? davao? dun siguro

[PrairieRose]

titira na ako sa Pinas for good. magtatayo ako ng maliit na bahay na gawa sa purong kahoy at may balcony overlooking sa aplaya. tapos magtatanim ako ng veggies sa likod ng bahay at papagawan ko ng bangka ang hubby ko para matutong mangisda pang-ulam namin. hahahaaha. dream ko talaga ito.

[cefalexin]

makatapos lang ako sa pag-aaral, makapagtrabaho at makapag-ipon, early retirement ang gagawin ko and i will definitely go back to the PHILIPPINES!

iba pa rin talaga sa PINAS! kahit maraming problema, masaya pa rin!

[discover69]

retirement place: Dumaguete, Negros Oriental

I've been to many places in the Phils. esp. in the vismin areas...... halos napuntahan ko na lahat ng lugar sa vismin at masasabi ko at napag-usapan na namin ito ng wife ko, when I retire, sa Dumaguete ko gusto tumira..........
-simple living
-malalapit mga beach
-mababait mga tao

tubong-maynila po ako.......
