    Be careful which charcoal you buy. I have had several of them tested, and they all contained lead. Some even had other harmful heavy metals in them.

    We would like to challenge to try to eat on Filipino Restaurant/coffee shops like Mary Grace instead of Stsrbucks because coffee and Filipino/spanish bread are way better and gradually infuse yourself to local cuisine (just find some great food influencers so you won't be fool or crave-bait. Filipinos atleast in upper middle class are aware Fastfoods are not healty.

    Hi Rob and Allie! Great video! I have a question this has nothing to do with your video but when you do your VPN when you come back to the states do you still use your VPN or do you disconnect it ? I did get surfshark and I'm just testing it out I Did It For My streaming and when I went back to Netflix I Got a notification on the screen saying that we see that you're using a VPN please disconnect it that made me a little nervous, can you elaborate a little bit on that ? Is it something I need to be worried about? Thanks! Bill

    I'm not following the housing costs. If you used 92,000 IHG points and you bought those points with cash at the end of the year for the double points, shouldn't they be counted somewhere as a cost? I think you said you got 800k points for $4k, so shouldn't there be a cost this month of $460 ($4k / 800k * 92k)?

    If you leave the cities and venture out into the Provinces, you will hear one or more of the Native Tongues but conversations between you and the Locals will be in English. You will find that the people of the Philippines are among the most friendly people you will ever meet. I would go so far as to say that even when a Philippine person is sad, they remain happy & cheerful.

    I’d love to get the Platinum card but there’s one thing stopping me: Amex is so ridiculously woke. I refuse to support any business whose CEO tries to tell me how to live. Same reason I never stay at Marriott hotels. Bill Marriott must be spinning in his grave. Why alienate half your potential customers? Here’s an idea: how about focusing on doing a better job running your business for the benefit of your customers and shareholders instead of wasting time and resources sticking your nose into politics and the culture wars? I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred and plan to upgrade to the Sapphire Reserve as soon as I can qualify for another points bonus. Bottom line: each of us has to decide what our priorities in life are and then live accordingly. Do you value personal benefits or doing the right thing more? God bless!

    • @GroundedLifeFinances
      @GroundedLifeFinances День тому

      It will be beneficial, but there are aspects that we just don't know, like which bank you should go with etc... those are presented as an American, and of course the credit cards won't work. Most everything else, including live chats and meetups would be beneficial.

    We found out that there is an issue with a garmin maps device in Thailand, because it is satellite linked. We have months in other countries, but can't take the device because Thailand will confiscate it. Do your research before traveling with equipment. 😊 Oh my gosh, it's great to know that another man gets searched like that at the airport, like my hubby. TSA pre-check helps in US, but not anywhere else.
