So how do you survive?
-
I was listening to Sydney's talkback radio station 2GB to hear a heartbreaking call from a pensioner who couldn't survive on his meagre pension. We will see more moving to Asia to survive ,whether that be Thailad, Philippines or Indonesia Disgusting!!! https://www.2gb.com/64-a-week-heartbreaking-call-from-struggling-pensioner
-
Well you should know , you wre a judge in the high court in your previous life and thankyou for your service
-
Oh no need to be disgusting This is a family forum
-
I don't mix with others When I'm at the gym ,earphones on ,pump up the volume and lift !
-
Well the point is ,they do in the UK on 40k ,maybe they live in council housing ? But they do ,granted it's free healthcare
-
Well that's another topic ,but there is many fit guys on here
-
Excellent point And how does your life then change? Looking for alternatives? Cheaper expats only bars? Becoming more of a homebody ? Cooking more at home ? Going to beach road to pick up ladies ?
-
True, but that's for private hospital health insurance A pensioner in Australia or UK can use the Free public hospital system
-
The only negative is the..... medical insurance,at average 6k a month one member pays !!! That's $300 AUD a month !
-
And yes there it is ,the medical Insurance! A Aussie pensioner /UK pensioner would have FREE health care in their own country Thats where that budget can be eaten in Thailand No way around it UNLESS you can make the trip back to your own country if illness happens
-
Very true But they may share rooms We are talking about the example of a Australian or UK pensioner on his country old age pension of around 40-45 baht a month who if he can live in that amount in Sydney or Sheffield can he live in that amount in Pattaya?
-
Very true lol Your a hard man Harris
-
So you sit in your condo watch tv , computer ,etc ? Eat out ? Gym?
-
Possibly The AUD has gone down to 21.0 and less Which is basically between 40,000 baht to 45
-
So the UK pension is basically the same? At around 40-45k a month So if old Reg from Yorkshire can live on that in Sheffield why can't old Reg live in Pattaya on that ? Oh please stop being so negative
-
Certainly not !!! It's 1100 a fortnight 2100? That's a 1000 a week,rubbish
-
Yes it's around $1100 AUD a fortnight
-
So no bars for you .
-
See many of you are forgetting the "core " of the subject If an Australian old age pensioner can live in 42,000 baht in Australia Tell me why he can't in Pattaya??? And indeed the UK old age pension,how much is that currently?
-
Various reasons my dear Watson And all reasons may not come to a Fruition
-
It's members like "quake" who should be respected in here a 28yo war veteran who gave his service to all of us who is apparently living the good life now in Pattaya with his Honda motorcycle and Ray ban sunglasses and Nike flip flops I do love how his generation use the brand name to describe what they are wearing ,I wonder why
-
Oh there's no need for racism and ageism English is a universal language Many older guys cannot learn the language for various reasons
-
Very true I am although fascinated when people talk brand name like Honda or ray bands,meaning they need to buy these materials instead of just a non brand product One of the posters here Quake a 23yo war veteran said he buys brands, I wonder why
-
Very good and that ROUTINE suits you ... would it suit old Charlie living in a 21sqm room in Soi Bukhao? Probably not
