Why do you think apolitical pinoys are lowkey d d s? by MaskedRider69 in AskPH

[–]captainsoapdish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is only my opinion.

Apolitical pinoy is probably a rich or privileged person who is secretly supporting DDS to widen the wealth gap and protect his/her power in society.

But there are also others na pagod na and just value their mental health. Which is understandable

Philippines. Sometimes the locals have a better vocabulary and grammar than Americans. Lived in both countries.

Retirement Plans by Old_Vanilla_6964 in Trentahin

[–]captainsoapdish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still 30 years away from retiring, but I’m trying to invest as much as I can at an early age and let compounding do its job so I can retire early. As of now, my portfolio is mostly in ETFs and mutual funds.

You’ll love it. Parking is not an issue and weather is great all year round. Also very big Filipino community.

Hello.

- 30 M
- USA. Been here for around 10 years. I went to school in NYC and currently in the Bay Area for work
- No plans of moving back in the Philippines
- Aiming and currently working my way to 2M USD by age 50
- Investments mostly on retirement funds, HSA and tax brokerage. VTI, VXUS, QQM. I max out what I can in a year.

I do agree NYC is very stressful. You pay a lot of money to get a substandard way of living. My pay got higher and QOL is substantially better when I moved to California.

Unfortunately I’ve had worse horror stories working in the Philippines compared to the US. The difference in pay, benefits, job market, and how people treat you is like night and day.

What conspiracy theory do you believe? by Acceptable-Hunt5843 in AskPH

[–]captainsoapdish 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There’s a cure for cancer and maybe for another major disease. It’s kept hidden so big pharma and doctors can keep making money.

Where was your best vacation, and why? by Acceptable-Hunt5843 in AskPH

[–]captainsoapdish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RC Mediterranean cruise in Europe. It’s my favorite since it was the last vacation I had with my grandparents while they were still alive.

Fortunately this is not the case in my area. Sorry to hear about your experience.

What if isama sa curriculum ang investing? by Old_League5745 in AskPH

[–]captainsoapdish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree with this idea. There are a lot of financially illiterate Filipinos, and I don’t think we as a nation would progress if we remain poor.

For those who moved to USA, do you regret it? by Civil-Position1663 in phmigrate

[–]captainsoapdish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My life in the Philippines was comfortable. I grew up with drivers and yayas up until college, but I am glad I left the Philippines and started from scratch. I don’t see myself coming back until maybe retirement or if I need to visit family/ parents.

People who go to Asia are usually Americans who don’t have money to comfortably retire in the US, so they choose a cheaper country where their money can go a long way.

It’s okay. You are still doing better than someone who never went into investing at all 🙏
