When I look back at all those movies made in the 40s/50s/60s, I see the white women were all as small as today's Asian women, all my girlfriends back in the 60s UK were also small size, generally 40-50Kg. Not from any selection bias on my part, that was the size of most women in their 20s. Something has gone seriously wrong with the west in the past 50 years. I can pick up a woman that weighs 50Kg, just about, 45Kg is easier. If I can't pick a woman up, I don't want her. No the avg was 55 to 58kg before. 45kgs is tiny. Under 50kgs unnatural really for adults. Jockeys are tiny and weigh 50 to 55kgs on diets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make claims you obviously have no clue about, and on top of that, you manage to accuse those who have knowledge for having no clue. It takes a psychopath or plain stupidity to do that. In one thread you claiming living on 40 is not living, in another tread you claim you and your wife and family live for 15 k or so a month. You claim you know about quality clothing, but have no clue at all, and also expert on marriage and how to live, as well telling everyone they are not living at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll understand if you drop your bias and reread my comment. Of course it does. Look at the cost of life from your age 20 to 30, 30 to 40 and 40 to 50? By age 50 or even earlier, a person should have been asking themselves, how much am I going to need to retire? Then do something about it. By the time they get to age 60, they should have a much clearer idea how much they need for retirement. So, for those folks that didn't have enough and still retired early to Thailand because they thought they had it all figured out? They simply did not. Why in the world would you retire early in that case and bind yourself up financially for the rest of your golden years? Was the lure of young women to great to wait a few more years to shore up their finances? These folks are all victims of their OWN decisions Some folks are smart enough to place their financial security in their golden years, aboving moving to Thailand and chasing 20 year olds around. Yet time and and time again, we read many comments that some folks are just not that smart? Retirement has a heavy cost, no matter where you live. If you never planned for it, guess what? It is just not the cost of living, daily expenses, etc. Sooner or later we will all hit that age when there is a major medical emergency.

Maha Sarakham Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I would say that Thailand isn't for everyone. It has a lot of flaws that some people are willing to overlook in exchange for the company of women, warm weather, and cheaper cost of living, but it is by no means perfect, it is far from it in many ways. If you have money to live comfortably in a Western country I think the quality of life is actually better overall, but that is going to depend on your priorities and what's most important to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was how they made it to retirement with nothing but a state pension. The other issues are possible reasons why. In my career field, when I retired, some people had already accumulated over US $1,000,000+ in 401K and IRA's, add in company pensions and max social security because they planned for it. They are doing just fine in retirement. I never liked having 401k deductions taken out of my check, however they were company matched and I knew exactly the ramifications if I did not save. Years and years went by with friends driving expensive cars, boats, etc. All my extra money went straight into the 401k. I knew right from the get go that the company pension and social security was not going to get me through retirement. I spent the last 20 years paying into the 401k and IRA's to make sure I would not have any financials worries in retirement Some folks spent all that money enjoying life with fancy toys, getting drunk, blowing it all. No knock on them for enjoying life. That just wasn't an option for me.

Many did not have / still do not have the money to be able to invest in alternative pension schemes and were/are reliant on the State Pension for their future income. I know a few that were self-employed and were convinced they would get the maximum state pension right up to the moment they were told what they were going to get. A friend who was employed for a time on the RFA's (Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet) found that being employed by a Government Agency and paid in the UK, did not entitle him to a full pension as it was decreed that his time at sea did not count towards his "service period" to calculate his pension.

Getting to retirement financially stable was much more important to me than an expensive car, boat or anything else You have to understand that some of those people who invested their earnings in wine, women and holidays in Pattaya, also live in rural Isaan with their partners - usually acquired in the bars of Pattaya Their meagre pittance of a pension is sufficient to cover their daily intake of Chang and Khao pad and kwitiow. They live rent free in their partner's humble abode and they happy - happy in the knowledge that life for them in Thailand is far superior to what they would have had in their home countries. I came here at age 52 with nothing and I managed to keep most of it! ????.....I lived that life in Isaan for a while and really enjoyed the Pad Krappow and Kwitiows. In fairness I knew that a couple of decisions I made should ensure that I had more than enough income and capital to have a very comfortable life. They did eventually kick in and gave me even more options to ensure that I maximised my happiness in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
