Prolly 500k and paying much of wife's expenses as well including two local holidays totaling 4.5 weeks. Two dental cleanings. Unknown qts of Chivas and Beam. About 12k to her parents or dinner out.

 

International trips, etc or savings not included.

 

I'll crack it open at 62-65. Still living lean. Eat well though.

Looking back over my Excel spread sheets for last year, I spent 1.8MThb in 2020, and that does not include the money I transferred into a Fixed deposit account of 800k Thb, or for the motorbike I paid cash for as well as the insurance and registration.  This year so far I am down to an average of 110K Thb a month, plus I just bought a new car which is not part of that spend either as again I paid cash.  I am trying hard to get down to 80K to 90K Thb a month.  Average Electric and water bill per month is around 6500 Thb.  Thankfully I do not have a payment on the condo I own, but their are the every 6 month fees that we pay, which I move into a different account monthly so its easy to pay and not have to transfer that sum.

I really wonder how one can spend 6300 Baht each and every day of the year, even when eating the most expensive of imported food, unless you have a family of 5 or go to the bars every other day.

 

 

well supporting two families and 4 businesses helps.
