Island Life Updates - Cost of Living on an Island

It looks as if my wife Rose is either a mermaid, or she is on the flotsam from our shipwreck that landed us on this 'Undiscovered' Paradise Island. Nevertheless, we are enjoying our fantastic lifestyle, while many of you have been asking lots of Good questions. So many Good questions, that I have decided to:

• write a new book,
• or create a video series,
• or maybe a combination of both. 

The new book is going to answer the questions: 'How do I Move to the Philippines?' I'm still not quite sure what the new title will be. Maybe:

•  'The Rat Race Escape Manual' or '
  
• The Escape Manual' or
  
• 'The Escape Manual to Paradise & Happiness'. 

If you have any topic suggestions, please contact me and let me know. I will do my best to add them.

I guess my next question to you is, 'What does it cost you to 'exist' where you are? I say 'exist' because many of you are not 'Living' and enjoying Life.
​
So... my question to you: What is it worth to you to begin Living & Enjoying Life?
