nasanews Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I am an early retiree stuck in LOS but after almost two years I find it hard to adjust financially and scheduling my week, also I am a playboy. Appreciate your inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks for "outing" yourself as a Playboy. An honest man. Most come here for the Temples. I can see your plight: A Playboy with not enough money to "play" ? That is a problem! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Are you really asking for advice? Well here it is. Unretire yourself, go back home, make some money, and after you've better prepared yourself, re-retire for a more blissful existence. You can thank me later.

Oxx Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Start taking potassium bromide regularly. It'll save you a lot of money and should help with the bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstevens Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 What do you mean by "adjust financially"? Are you saying you find it expensive, or can you not control yourself when it comes to spending on your playboy lifestyle? A clearer question would be easier to answer.

Old Croc Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 How on earth did you retire early if you are incapable of managing your finances or even your time (schedule)? Why are you "stuck" in LOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you do have a "beer pocket" there's a pretty good chance you'll end up in dire straits, what with inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, uninsurable medical costs, &c., even without investing in a beer bar or being ripped off by your wife/girlfriend.

Now, some Thai locals are living large. However, I conclude you are suggesting the OP live as cheaply as a local can live. Never could understand that. Why would you want to live cheaply like a local? Or is it you have to live that cheap? Edited October 20, 2017 by smotherb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The half-Thai son of a friend of mine is a real playboy or maybe gigalo. He is a good-looking young man and the girls swarm about him. He had the normal Thai school-girl relationships, but was not ready for a serious commitment. So, now he allows the Thai bar girls to share his precious bodily fluids, if they foot the bill; after all he is a student and does not have any money.

In which case, going home won't improve his life. Everything will be much more expensive than here, Including playtoys for playboys. Get a real life or a real (decent) g.f. Or go home & get a job.

In which case, going home won't improve his life. Actually, it probably would. I don't know his nationality, but if he were British, (a) his state pension (when eventually he receives it) would be inflation linked, (b) he wouldn't be subject to exchange rate fluctuations on his pension income, (c) all his medical costs would be covered by the state. Other nationalities have similar advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
