Actually, this is a good thread that can create some useful discussions. Those guys who sold everything and left the USA for Thailand in all probabilities can't ever afford to return to their place of home. I made a home here in Thailand before retirement complete with homes and a kid. All the while maintaining and renting out properties in Ca. There are things I miss about home like camping at the reservoir with a sailboat. Projects I never completed, so many places I never visited in the US even though I traveled the world for many years.
I maintain my driver's license and car sitting in my garage back home. Just because it makes me feel good. I don't think I could completely cut the US loose.
