Hello from Thailand

[Pete44]

At 59, last August, I completed the sale of my California home, sold everything I had and took off for Thailand with one large suitcase and a guitar. I live in a beautiful condo in a beach community. Have an active social life, a Thai girlfriend and I just love it here. My total monthly expense is about $1800. You could do it for $500 less depending on life style.

I had some questions about using the yield from bond funds to pay for all this but I'll leave that for another post.

If its about dryer sheets, despite being an aficionando, we've never used them. I think they go in the dryer to make the clothes softer. Why would we want soft clothes. hard clothes keeps us awake.

What is the angry baby saying?
