I posted this in the "Hi" section but figure it belongs here. I've updated it.
I was divorced a few years ago. I still have something left. I am now 47 and remarried. My wife is Thai and we both want to move to Thailand to retire. I would like to go at age 50.
Here in the USA:
I will be selling my house. It is now worth 350K-100K mort=250K
My 401K - 285K
My IRA’s -34K
Cash- 80K
Saving 18K/year in my 401K and adding 4K in my Roth IRA
The earliest I can get my pension is when I turn 55. At the greatly reduced rate of 50% I will get 650.00/month –No COLA
Then SS at 62 the SS Calculator said 1326.00/month
In Thailand:
I will need to buy a house 70K-100K after living their for 2-3 years
And a car 30K when i arrive
I will need to buy Health insurance for approx 3K/year.
I need between 24K-36K/year.
What do you think? Can I do it?
I am trying to educate myself how to plan for my retirement. Suggestions on anything appreciated.
Thanks
Mikel
