RETIRING/LIVING in PARADISE at a FRACTION OF THE COST compared to our Western Economies.

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

I have been coming to Phuket, Koh Samui and Chiang Mai in Thailand for the last four years and each time staying longer and longer. It is ridiculously cheaper than western countries and a lot more freer and your living the dream daily! I am not of retirement age as yet but I am fortunate to lead such a life. I often engage in conversation with retirees back in Australia that are watching there superannuation being eaten up by the banksters, governments and fees paid to the industry. I could go on more about how there savings are being eaten away and there living standards deteriorating. For a retired couple in such places as Thailand they could live well on under US$400 per week which would include some of the best medical in the world, tropical weather, major airports and airlines at your door step, healthy food and living and availability of pretty much anything you need at a fraction of the cost back in our controlled and over priced western economies. I had to see an ear specialist recently, I did not have to wait weeks to see him and it cost me about $20 with medication for the visit. Good accommodation you can find for a little as $100 per week. Accommodation at $200 per week would get you something very nice. A single good Thai meal as low as $5 per person, the list goes on. Retirees or investors that have regulat income to support them let me show you how you can set yourself up as an expat in paradise.
