Male OFWs average 12 years abroad. Some reach 34. Most said "5 years lang" at the start. This episode gives you the system to actually come home in 5 years — and never have to go back.

In this 30-minute episode, I lay out the complete Reverse Retirement Plan — the 5-year, year-by-year framework for OFWs and seafarers to build enough income-producing assets to stop depending on foreign employment — with real Philippine peso math, real investment options, and a concrete action plan.
