Did I waste my life? I think there are instances in everyone’s life where time could have been wasted. The only difference is, whether you remain in that specific situation, Or do something about it.
Im 67 years old now. As a young adult I didn’t have much money. I could have constantly complained about it. Whined about the government, blamed my situation on this and that. And just be the same now.
But I always moved forward. Always trying to better myself. I’m retired since age 62. I collect social security plus a decent pension from my job I worked 32 years. I have savings and investments. Discounted health insurance from my previous job. Covers me world wide.
I always wanted to experience living overseas. When I vacationed I mostly took trips overseas. I chose Thailand to retire. Living in Bangkok almost three years now. Chose it because of the retirement visa. Living in Thailand is not my cup of tea. I would say I wasted that time in my life giving it a try. So I will move back to the states by the middle of next year.
