It works against a younger person who would like to live here, but must still earn a living. Most who relocate sucessfully are of our age group, war babies and baby boomers. The cost of goods and services that we depend on is much cheaper than in Western countries (medical treatment and medicines, and housing, as an example). Our dollars, pounds, yen, etc. go much further here than in our home country. Thank you for crediting me with the topic. It was first published locally in a major Manila newspaper, the <i>Philippine Daily Inquirer</i>, August 30, 2009.
