Thanks for the welcome replies. Had never really given the Philippine's a good look as a possible retirement location, and am starting to see it could be an option.
I will do my due diligence and research some on my own here before I start asking any questions. Already got one of my questions answered by noticing the exchange rate box on the right side of the page, nice convenient location for that! Been a little busy today, but made sure to get back, and now I'm glad I did.
Never had the pleasure of being a "One Hit Wonder" Bet that will change with this post. :-)
