My monthly expenses/payments as a family man living in Thailand

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

I see many lower end budgets being written online, I decided to post the expenses and payments that I have monthly.  

 

Rent 57,000

Electric 18,000-20,000

Part time Maid 9000

School for one child 43,000 per month

 

Mortgages 126,000 of which 82,000 covered from rent

 

Car repayment 129,000 per month

 

Investments 200,000-300,000 per month 

 

Loan repayments per month

41,000 

55,000

77,000

 

Eating out/spending outside 30,000 per month 

Online subscriptions 15,000 per month 

 

There are lots of other expenses and costs. But that's all the bulky consistent ones.  I have missed a few intentionally, I do not have or need health insurance.

    Your staying in a place that's only 57,000 per month. It must be a dump .... there are far better places around for 80-90k a month.

    Your monthly medication costs probably exceed any of your above expenses.

But of course, I believe everything else thanks for sharing.

The OP reads like "Show and Tell" that we did in early grade school.

A guy lives somewhere in Thailand in some sort of lodgings of unknown size and neighborhood with unknown number of others and pays 57,000 rent.

 

 

Can't think of any way that post could be helpful to anyone, but who knows I guess...

Thank you for sharing. The expensive schools here sucks but its extremely good value for money. Its around 33k a month, 7k for bus and 3500 for extras plus costumes for events.  I know schools double this cost.

We cant always choose paths but if we dont post or answer then we don't get anywhere. You have enough interest to answer.

If this was the USA my housing costs would be three times as much (just a guess) for the same house but car payments would be half.

99.9% chance of you being mentally ill, 0.1% chance of you being wealthy.

When you're in a bar, do you whisper 'pedo' to all the old foreign guys with young girlfriends?

Some inconsistencies, but without them it wouldn't be science fiction. Some of my former colleagues who left the UN system with 30 to 35 years of services at a D grade are at around half a million THB a month.

Interestingly, the Philippines grant retirement visas under special conditions (1500 USD deposit) to ex UNers. Obviously they are much smarter than the Thais.

Insecure wealthy people who need to brag about their expenditures as they really have little else to offer in life.

You're saying that anyone who makes reasonable money is mentally ill?

You cant say inconsistencies until you have seen a breakdown.

I'm anonymous. I wanted to see how messed up peoples mindsets are.  Seems alot of hatred or disbelief because other peoples wealth makes people feel uncomfortable with there own situation.

Let me correct you, what you have is a lot of debt and no wealth is apparent in your post.  You might currently have a decent income for Thailand.  That might be doing something illegal.  You seem to be very flashy.  You don’t speak like a person with money ...

I have good debt for business and investments.

 

Lots of people claim wealthy people must be doing something illegal, they dont understand the work, leverage and balls it takes.

 

Only 3 people in real life know my income and net worth.  They are far up the ladder to me. I don't talk about it due to jealousy and making people feel bad.

 

Also, I said 200-300k a month in investments, but you said no apparent wealth in my post? It was a list of expenses, not bragging about assets or net worth.
