Confused about dryer sheets
I just retired to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Has anyone retired abroad? Like to hear your experiences, adjustments...
Have my first english student to tudor!!!!
I hope she starts with Henry VII, not Henry VIII...
We're going to Playa Del Carmen next week. No experience yet. Sorry. ....
I own a condo in Switzerland. Spend 2 or 3 months there, rest of the year cruising the high seas and at "home" in Boston. I have really serious "re-entry" problems lately coming back to the U.S. I'll continue this schedule as long as I'm able! I've "thought about" permanent relocation to Switzerland, but haven't taken any action, yet.
Permanent move?
Yeah, permanent as you can make a "stable for now" kind of country. We're going to do some volunteering down there (and a little fun), meet some new friends & have a room for our friends of our past to visit.
We've been "researching" and planning for 5+ years; finally got the kahunas to finally do it. Leaving corp jobs was a little unnerving as we've been there all our adult lives. Hope to share the experiences and maybe encourage others not to be afraid of ER...

It is possible to make a move overseas on a strict and fixed budget of less than $1,000 per month. You could live on this budget easily in Thailand, by paring back allowances for household help, entertainment and travel. You could also manage a comfortable, interesting life on a very modest nest egg in parts of Panama (outside Panama City), parts of Ecuador and in Medellin, again by scaling back on nonessentials and renting an apartment outside the central and expat-popular neighborhoods used for the budget calculations above.
