Pattaya, Thailand Retirement!



Pattaya, Thailand Retirement! By John Galt
Yes, you CAN retire on $50USD a day!
Although it may be crass to say, MONEY is everything in this world-by having money, you have the FREEDOM to do most anything you want. You’re fortunate to live in the West where you have the opportunity to earn and save sufficient capital to last a lifetime. Even if you don’t have a lot, most Western countries’ governments will guarantee a monthly income (pension) of around $1,000 (USD) beginning in your early 60s.

Pattaya, Thailand Retirement!

And while not much in your home town, it is A LOT in Pattaya, Thailand.
Here’s what I mean:
Sample monthly budget based on $50 day-

Housing (including ALL utilities)-$300

Food-$180

Transport-$20

Entertainment-$500

Misc/Everything else-$500

Not bad, eh! 1/3 of your budget is going towards entertainment which is A LOT of SANOOK (fun) in Pattaya!

While our budget of $50 a day exceeds the $1,000 monthly pension mentioned, a little tweaking in the entertainment or miscellaneous categories could bring it in-line. Or, having $100,000 in savings at 6% yields $500 per month thus putting you at the $50 figure.

Note that didn’t factor a ‘separate’ travel fund for the annual trip back to your home country. Inevitably you’ll need to back, so ensure you plan for it.

Now if you’re too young for a pension, their is hope!

If have around $350,000USD saved, you’ve hit the mark, assuming a 6% return on your money.

And DON’T be discouraged if you’re too young for a pension and short on money–consider ‘semi-retirement’.

Make a plan to spend six months or so a year in Pattya, Thailand and the balance working in your home country. This is the ‘having your cake and eating it too’ strategy!

  13. Unlike the mainstream concepts, I’ve to disagree with you, as there are simply so many different factors to consider.

  19. I think patients need to understand that if they want their solo/two-doctor group to be there in the future that they will have to accept an alternative payment model (i.e. cash pay). Some of the future changes will certainly be welcome, such as new technologies that make both patient’s and doctor’s work easier and more efficient, but there will also be less-desired changes of more governmental interference, red tape, and an increase of insurance companies’ efforts to collect as much money from the patient and give as little as possible to providers. By breaking this unhealthly addiction to insurance/government patients would find their doctor to be able to provide a much better quality of care. I hope it happens.

  29. I am not truly sure if top tactics have emerged roughly things similar to that, except I am certain that your huge work is obviously discovered. I was questioning if you offer several membership near your RSS feeds because I would be extremely concerned.

  30. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  38. Great job. You really inspired me and my buddy to start getting into tech and video streams as well as blogging now. Thanks for eveything you do and what you do to help your community. Keep it up. Thanks =)
