In which case, he would have made the right decision ... ????

You do know what you asked, and you did read my reply. You may want to reread both. Hint; virus / anti-viral medicine

Or ... sex with people his own age ... that's scary in itself ????

I was so anti kid in my later years, that I got a vasectomy at 40 yrs old. Raising one was way too cool, and to much fun for both of us. Can think of only 1 other thing that actually gave my life meaning, purpose and worth existing ... ???? Main issue for OP is, he already did that, and really no need to repeat. Doubt if I would, if younger, raise another kid, since already doing, as that's a 20 yr commitment. Most folks, get to do it again with grandchildren, and part time, a major plus. I'm actually looking forward to that, but not sure I'll live long enough, as daughter in no hurry.

But if the top end of the poor, those that do buy a new vehicle in the family, then going EV could be quite the money saver in the long run. Motors will run forever, and 8 yrs from now, battery cost will be much improved. I think Thailand has one of the fairest tax codes, one main reason I'm here. They could lower the excise tax on entry level cars, as 100k is a bit silly, and adds and extra 25% to the sticker price. Enough to keep many from buying. At least eliminate the excise tax on small engine p/u's.

฿2M ... nah ... I can think of better things to spend that extra ฿1M on. 2m for an unimpressive 4 wheels, I don't think so. 2X the USA price. If they build it here, would it still be 1m. Along with no gov't incentives to buy, $20k USD brings it down to nicer entry level ICE.

That vulnerable / high risk person, should avoid people & crowds. Enough already. If you're scared to live outdoors, stay indoors. Nobody wore masks with the seasonal flu, and can be deadly to people at risk. Mask provides little to no protection if you're not wearing goggles.

Whoa ... yea that's a wee bit more. Trying to figure out the source, as one vendor lists as 'Huangren Harley', but can't get any info for it.

The app ... yikes, that sucks. Worse than the computer site. I hate apps, refuse to use when I don't have to.

Why's that ? Treatments I've read about, include the same anti-virals HIV folks take, so with that .... I think so !

Strangely 'review history' is working today, and it wasn't yesterday, as I tried looking for something I ordered. Then if order pages aren't working, I'll search my reviews. Good reason to review.

Yea, that does that now & then. Sometimes you can search all, sometimes not. It will come back.

Or ... ฿8060 ... different specs though ... LAZ: http://tiny.cc/5h5nuz

Owner of captive wild animals, wants people to treat them nicely ... ... hmm All zoos should be banned ... period. Nothing but animal abuse.

Oh yea, I'll throw it out there, though may not apply ... but ... if it didn't cross your mind. How solid is your relationship ? Some of the negative nannys (not me of course) may suggest, once kid is born, and SS approved, a nice little monthly income (Thai standard) .... you ain't needed any more ... ????

So a Yank, and it's down to, 'do you want to have another family again' and all that goes with that in your retirement. If that's not a thing you'll be happy with, then that will also affect your relationship, and the kid's future. If you are not happy, then not a happy relationship, and not a happy family. Hard for anyone to give advice, as I did the opposite than most, and exactly what you're asking about, 20 some years ago. I took in the unofficial village orphan, when she was about 2. She graduated Uni this year, self employed, along with salaried job in spare time, and now self sufficient, and I couldn't have made a better decision way back then. But I waited till I had the time & money needed, to raise a kid, as didn't want anyone I was responsible for, to have to mirror my childhood / teen years. Never had kids of my own, or was around other's for more than a few years. You already did the family thing, do you really want to do it again. Did you ever think ... "glad that's over, and worked out good, don't think I'll do that again" ... if so, there's your answer.

Haven't peeked in 20 yrs, but surely there's places to put money that give 8-10% returns yearly, some even paying dividends. Someones posted something a while ago "Dividend Aristocrats" funds paying dividends every year, in fact, increased every year. It's not rocket science ... that took less than 5 minutes to find. https://www.kiplinger.com/tfn/ticker.html?ticker=NEE

Ditto, though only 25 ish yrs of fun there, so I could retire and have fun elsewhere. Retired the same age as CrunchWrapSupreme, who I replied to ... ????

OP, are you retired ? Are you a Yank ? If you crapped out just after birth, how would the Mrs & kid financially support themselves, independently, not the family thing. If a Yank, not a problem, as SS would support the kid, if you are paid into it. Don't know about other countries' policy. Do you or she, already have children, or is this the first for both ? Do YOU want a kid, and the responsibility it requires for the next 20 yrs. If not, then NO....and that's no, if or but. Not fair to you or a kid.

Depends what symptoms you get, as with the flu, treat the symptoms. If you know someone HIV+, that would be a major plus, as they seem to treat all variants of, with an anti-viral, so 2 weeks of that borrowed from a friend, would be my first choice of self medicating.

Yep .... hurt only themselves. Though I do wish they'd adjust the law, "causing death by vehicle" / if no helmet, list as suicide, not death by vehicle.

So there are intelligent free thinking people in Thailand ... go figure. Isn't everyone vax'd or tested to get on Phuket or to get a ferry to PP ? Guess it's everyone's option, though do know the risk of running foul of the 'rules'. Apparently none.

Just think if you never came here, and 25 yrs of equity building, and then you could come here now and retire comfortably. Hindsight's a bitch

"....take immediate action and fine tourists" There's a sale booster if I ever read one .... ????
