Fishtank Media - Invidious

Fishtank Media

Fishtank Media is a no-nonsense YouTube channel for men considering retiring in the Philippines or already living here full-time.

This channel covers the real cost of living in the Philippines, retirement budgets, visas (including SRRV changes), healthcare for expats, banking and money transfers, taxes, and the day-to-day realities of life in Manila, Cebu, and the provinces.

No sugarcoating.
No influencer fantasy.
No “$1,000 a month beach life” nonsense.

If you’re a man over 45 thinking about retiring in the Philippines, moving overseas, building a life with a Filipina, or leaving the West for a simpler but realistic life, this channel breaks down what actually works — and what quietly sends people home broke or frustrated.

Expect honest discussions on visas, healthcare, money, cultural differences, expat mistakes, and long-term stability.

Truth over hype. Preparation over fantasy.
If you’re serious about life in the Philippines, you’re in the right place.
