Most of my pals died well before 60, I don't know anyone over 70 that has a life I would want to live ....... and I'm 65.

Only way they could get away from you, I guess.

And your circle must be very impoverished in the over-70s department  — there are plenty of over 75s/80s/90s who are leading far better lives than your pal-less(?) one.   Get to know us!

They said retirement age of 64 to death age of 78...not mid life lol.

That was ‘mid-life’ for many of us!

Average SS is around $1500 a month

Averaged over which population?   And does this include parts of the world where the SS no longer generally operates ?

You shouldn't count on much quality life after 75.

But many of us are right now continuing to enjoy this superb quality for far longer, without even having to count anything!

Most pensions also rise with the cost of living.

No, not really.  And for the minority that do, with whose cost of living do they rise?

79 being around the average life expectancy for farangs.

Expected for whom and by whom at what age, and from which foreign places? Which hat did this figure magically pop out from?

My income as an online science teacher - easy job ????

Great!  Bubbling test-tubes and dissecting frogs included?  

Or just build your own nuclear-powered spaceship and colonize Mars?

You could indeed!

It's 83 in Italy, 82.5 in Sweden, and 81.5 in the UK. It's 77 in Thailand even

And it goes on going up: if you make it to 78 then it gets to well over 85!
Make it long and wealthy!

so easy to put money in my savings account each month.

Where does this ‘easy money’ come from?

family of four, on 40,000bht/month.

If I was living alone that would reduce to between 20,000-25,000bht/month.

Very parsimonious towards the other three!

Is this all based on ZIRP?

What is this? 

I find it strange that for the input amount they report capital requirements only, whilst basing the costs on renting rather than ownership.
