Where's the rest of your expenses? 

 

Transport.  Do you have a car?  If so, how much for insurance, maintenance, and petrol.

 

What about food?  Do you eat?  Do you buy healthy, but expensive food, or cheap, processed, and unhealthy food?

 

What about entertainment?  Do you catch a show, or sporting event, or dine out sometimes?  Do you go to the local bowling club?  Do you drink alcohol? 

 

Clothing.  Do you buy any?  You'll have to one day. 

 

Telecommunications.  Do you have a mobile phone and internet?  How much a month for these?

 

Household products.  Cleaning items. Eg. dish washing, laundry, toilet paper etc. 

 

Household appliances.  TV, Fridge etc.  They don't last forever.  Where's your budget for them? 

 

You mention "rent."  Even for those pensioners that own their own home, what about council rates and insurance, then maintenance? 

 

Health insurance.  You can't rely on Medicare these days. 

 

You mention energy supplement, but don't mention the total cost of the energy bill itself.  That's heating and cooling, during winter and summer.

 

Water bill.  No mention of it.  

 

You mentioned only one outgoing, and that was rent.  What about the rest you need to survive, and then some little things to have a basic quality of life?    

No car, gave it away a few weeks back no water bill since it is included in rent payments household items in cluded in fortnightly spending of about 90 $, phone just 12$ for 3 months, no aircon to pay for, don't have a heater, electricity about for 2 months 80 $ government subsidised TV is free don't have private health insurance being a pensioner I have doctor and hospital visits free, alcohol just 10 dollars a week (red wine is cheap) used to go bowling when I was younger, medication is cheap, like to know more? Not everything is bad in the west, and I live in a city of about 2.5 million.

Do you reply to that nut

I don't know why you people migrate to a tropical country if you can't stand the heat? Where I live, we had 10 days in a row over 40 plus and followed by 12 days in the high 30th. I don't even have an aircon in my place.

Yes 

I went back to a man's condo last Wednesday night.

He is from NZ , he is very foolish with his money and invited some Thai guys and their girlfriends around that he had met a week before at the markets , apparently they had market stalls 

 

I only found out later he wanted to put in 500b to buy them beer and prawns to sharec

 

He later complaint to me the thai people had used him and wanted gasoline money in which one Thai  guy actually asked me for , I said to him to ask Eric the guy who invited them,nothing to do with me gasoline money 

 

Anyway Eric had run out of money and they didn't bring anything to the party he said ,we had to buy the prawns and beer , 

I told him he shouldn't of invited them over ,for what reason?

I left after one hour anyway ,they wernt keen on a conversation and kept guzzing down the beer!

The audacity of one of the Thai guys with his GF to ask be for gasoline money 

I was out of there after one hour ,! 

Come on give it up you even follow guys into a men's can.

I just wonder what they would do if tap water would be used as drinking water instead of bottled water. I live in the second most dry continent in the word (OZ) and yes, we had no rain for months but still a water supply

Thais can become violent quite quickly in a confrontation.

Most times they will avoid a confrontation with a foreigner (unless drugs or alcohol are thrown into the mix).

Lived in Thailand 24 years. No issues.

Also lived in Oz, HK and Singapore. Again no issues.

The only country that I have been attacked in (random violence whilst walking on the street) was the UK. 3 times.

Wifey - mugged twice in the UK. Nothing, anywhere else.

 

Well, you must be lucky I am in OZ for about 40 years never had an issue with anybody, lived in LOS for a number of years got broken into twice had one of my apartments burned down and got threatened by my FIL with a shotgun.

So, if weed gets banned again we lose this useless website

I was going by the video where it appeared that he hit something in the road. "The tyre suddenly burst" statement is impossible to verify. More likely, the deflated rear tyre was part of the wreck. I've driven about 2 million miles in my driving career. Never had a tyre "suddenly burst". Especially these days with modern tyre construction. When seeing a truck with a burst tyre, they are normally shredded. The tyres on the truck are not shredded. 

Correct
