Try to see how far 20K (about A$200 a week) goes in Australia for two people. Who cares about Australia? Are you denying costs haven't risen in Thailand the past 13 years? You don't know anything. Look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have to say, been back home for 3 months, I say yes to both places will do for me. The cost isn't crazy if you can afford it, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are entitled to those but no one else cares what you believe. You have no idea, do you? How did you become so bitter when you obviously feel so high? Lesson to learn, is to appreciate the smaller things we take for granted also.

Lesson to learn, is to appreciate the smaller things we take for granted also. But I do not expect you to understand simple things like that. Must be a Republican....those that live a life of privilege feel that equality is oppression. Just cant stand to see those beneath them enjoying their lives and being happy when they have tried to fill their empty lives with materials things and money and are miserable.. money and stuff is not the key....not what u dont have, but enjoy what you DO have.... Einstein said the key to happiness is a calm and modest life....so is he a cheapskate??? My buddy is this way..hot wife who sleeps in sep room---kids--lexus--good job--paid well and he is miserable and complains all the time...he is living the "american dream" right??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he feel above me, I really do not care, but he do not know bullpie when it comes to my life, what I have and do not have, or neither my experiences. He just take it for granted that he is some kind of superior to others he never have met face to face. But he can assume anything and everything he wants for me, but he should behave and be polite and do not trashtalk other he really do not know anything about . He really made a sympathetic impression in the other tread we had the day before with his statements about low life and not living. when you lower yourself to write what he did, then you kind of start feeling sorry for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is why im happy to debate and reply....they seems to eventually grumble, insult and go sit alone in their mansions.......is why i always say why do billionaires kill themselves......or ask hiso thais how poor people can love.....money buys goods and services--it does not buy happiness-tho it can help people get their dreams to achieve happiness...i learned this in thailand seeing dirt poor people seemingly smile and be happy living in a tin shack...i asked myself what it was and discovered they had each other..a strong family bond and love...... ive lived in nice places..traveling the world has shown me whats really important to me... and i dont mind being poor--i like the challenge of being creative and using my brain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is to be gained with a sustainable lifestyle. Everything I have is second hand, and the car cost £60 about 20 years ago, and still daily transport. I believe the missus was also second hand, but does have a certain charming patina. Yes, thats not a typo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson to learn, is to appreciate the smaller things we take for granted also. But I do not expect you to understand simple things like that. I feel high because that is the way I am. Sorry if I didn't plan my life to grow up living out of a car. Don't expect me to learn your lessons, I am not you. Don't expect me to understand anything, you don't know me and have no idea what I understand. If you think growing up to live out of a parked car is normal and you appreciate it (smaller things), good for you. I wasn't brought up to believe that is such a good idea. Pretty sure I would have a hard time fitting my entire clan into a car to live? Maybe that is why we have so much land and a real house, and one abroad.
