leisurely Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Absolutely loaded, Mr Man is a millionaire and I am a princess with my own kingdom that generates as much bread and honey as I can spend. My daughters are, or at least will be highly desirable as brides due to the huge dowery that we can afford to lay out. I buy my weeks shopping at either Villa or Paragon, I use creme de la mare on my face and elbows............................... Actually we are not loaded by any stretch of the mind. We have enough to get by on, own a car and go on holiday often - usually to Pattaya, Koh Chang or fly airasia. Wealth is a relative thing.We are compared to many, if not the majorityof Thai people absoluted loaded, but in comparison to our friends in England we are certainly the poor relations. Don't lay awake at night worrying about the exchange rate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry57 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i feel rich because im blessed with a positive outlook and balanced view on life. i can way up the good and the bad and usually come up with a positive instead of a negative. the glass is half full instead of half empty sort of thing. i have a great job, which brings me respect and allows me to travell often, also supplying a very fair financial reward. thank you very much.

farangsay Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I don't think about the stock markets because it's years since I owned stocks. I try not to think about the baht exchange rate because it makes me want to vomit. I lie awake worrying whether I can get to sleep before the bloody sparrows start chirping.

Ling Kae Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Do you lay awake worrying, about world stock-market corrections, or the baht exchange-rate ? I don't worry about corrections but if the baht goes down it makes my farang money buy me a longer stay. In general if you got no money you are not really wanted in any country and Thailand is no exception to that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudhopper Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Rich enough to not have to pay any attention whatsoever to anyone except government officials and my mom. The Baht will fluctuate. If you don't have to bet on which way it will go, you won't have to worry about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webbew Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 No. Not financially wealthy. I'm a bakery chef and I make about US$ 26,000 a year. That's just about enough to get by here in the States and maybe have enough for a nice vacation at the end of the year if you live very freugally.

Jingthing Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 My whole financial existence is based on stock market movements and baht values. I do stay up late at night, but not worrying. Does it help to worry? (Or maybe I am richer than I thought.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLah Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Well I am not really happy, purchased a Benz S class 500 series and it stutters when going beyond 200 KM per hour. My pool (50x20) gets cleaned every week but still have some leaves in it after. The maids (4) are doing a good job on keeping the house clean, they also cook for me whatever I want. However, a bit of problem for them to find a good Kebab. Have sauna and Yakuchi. So I consider myself rich but not too rich. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm certainly not rich by any western standards BUT I live here as I choose and am able to to live on less than half of what I could afford to spend. That may change if the baht keeps appreciating and if my stocks continue to go down. Actually my nest egg is in the stock market and other than the dividends, I have not had to use any of it. My retirement was based on 25 baht to the dollar so I am still comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
