Having just spoken to a friend of a friend who moved to Thailand 6 years ago this year, and i may add hes doing very well too, any regrets i asked, yes i should have done it sooner,
So should we have done it sooner,
We are all different in what we are seeking in our lives but we all know we are all getting older too,
This chap left England when we was 61 , he was alone here, renting a terrace house and going to work at the local hospital on his bike then back home again, yes at the time it suited him but he had a plan that to have enough money behind him and then just go, he also had a friend who was waiting in Thailand too i may add,
He only managed to save just around 6-7000 pounds and he could not take it any longer so he went,
A lot of his so called friends was laughing he will be back and this and that about him, but these so called friends are still in the same pubs and maybe same seats too, and has he come back NO,
he was a teacher over there and now hes a sales man just part time in a truck dealership, hes just brought himself a big motorbike with everything on it for touring and i must say he looks like hes in his 50s not late 60s,
So life for him has turned out just fine, but like i have said we are all not the same ,
My plans is still to be going no later then 60, if not before because how much do you really need for that nest egg , but also i have to look at i will not be working over in the phils at all, but i shall be having a income from my works pensions and property too,
So come on boys and girls those who have moved and those who have come back or are planning to go , whats your stories
