English Engineer Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you are spending 6k a month for electricity you should consider installing solar. Payback is now around 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex8912 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 On a serious note we see these cheap Charlie threads a lot. The 4K , 5 k Per month , I demand my .25 satang back every time kind of guys. I feel a little sorry for them. No one should end up this way and some threads about how to pre plan should be started more often than how little I have to spend. I wonder if the OP or others scraping to get by ever pic up their phone ( or a friends phone) and speak to some great grand nephew or great great niece or grandchild or even the current neighbors kid and tell them how important it is to pre plan during your money making years and save hard and long during that period of life. Don't depend on a meager pension that you think may carry you through the golden years. Invest, learn about the stock market , Roth IRAs , retirement accounts, Real Estate etc and be better off. Even if you didn't do it yourself advice from an older person is often good and listened too. Just my 1/2 satangs worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 18 hours ago, steven100 said: I can survive on 4,000 baht a day. That's my budget and I generally stick to it. That's excluding the hotel room as that's paid weeks in advance. That's around my mark in order to live the life I want here, and having worked from the age of 15 and retired at 58 and stashed enough away to live comfortably here, that's what I do. One the one hand I couldn't consider living like the OP because I like my comforts, yet on the other hand I have a certain amount of admiration for him (provided he's not a troll) in being able to do what he says and I would imagine he gets a great deal of satisfaction in making a go of it when the odds seem stacked against him.

The topic is 4k per month without rent. Not 20 or 30 k. No one wants that lifestyle by choice please don't waste time and get on the phone and tell someone younger to save when young. That was my point. You are barking up the wrong tree sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twizzian Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Rather go back to my home country than struggle on 4K baht. Watching every coin before you spend, can’t go to restaurants, can’t do anything for free except a run round the park or sweat your cods off fishing. Any little luxury, no’ Most things cost money, on 4K what a miserable life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerkinsCuthbert Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've said it before but I'll say it again: no need to waste 100 Baht a month on coin-operated washing machines; simply lurk close to the laundry room with your dirty items. When someone has started their wash and leaves for the duration, quickly nip in, put your own clothes in with theirs! Same when the cycle finishes, fish out your own washing before the original person returns. Presto, one hundred Baht a month extra to spend on luxuries! Kerching!!

Curmudgeon1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 On 2017-10-28 at 6:37 AM, Crossy said: I just paid our latest electric bill, >6k Baht. I spend about the same on fuel and 1k per week on tolls. Now if you were talking US $4,000 per month ... Just to put things in perspective, you spend 4,000 Baht a month, I don't get out of bed for that an hour. You can live on 4k Baht per month, I probably could but I choose not to (actually I probably couldn't). Budgeting is too stressful. I retired to avoid stress...i know my lifestyle ....I live below my means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can eat for free also. Just go to any food court many scraps around. Or better yet, many people put their trays down then go get a drink. Just rip off their food. The baht bus? If you are sly you can gently hop on the back. Better yet, just jump on, get your ride, then jump off and run. Save water? I have actually seen guys washing themselves in the restroom at the mall. Pay rent? no way. If can sneak into that shell condo at the harbor, walk up a few flights, and have a full ocean view with no bother. HISO!!!!

Estrada Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think this is made up.... The poster is obviously using the internet to make his post, yet there is no charges for use of computer + internet shown in his list. Perhaps B30 for extravagances covers that?
