Lots of these guys in Thailand.
You can blame Dan about Thailand, he's always broadcasting how cheap it is to live in Thailand.
Thailand is cheaper than the west but you just can't move here and expect a good life living of an aged pension.
You need money to enjoy yourself, go out to restaurants, travel, shopping. This is what you need and much more to have a healthy, liveable life.
Hopping on and off a baht bus to get to the bar for a few beers and fish and chips for dinner would be a miserable existence.
BTW, Flybird condo is an awful dull, spooky place for an elderly guy, it's got heaps of beautiful, young bar girls living there but these guys are not looking for a teenager.
