How much cash do you have?


Recommended Posts

Another aseannow first!

 

 

Seems like we have some high rollers here, so I ask you straight up.

 

How much cash do you have in your account, either sitting or invested?

 

Me, straight up almost 13mb.

 

A pittance to most and a small fortune to some.

 

I am 50, but I mostly fkd around most of my life, so I think I did ok.

 

How about you Bitcoin, real estate and investment zillionaires?

There's a Thai guy who could improve your finances if you let him kiss your butt.

You'll also need a gold leaf.

 

was there not also licking going on ?

I've found it takes a lot of effort, determination and some luck to build up enough savings/assets and investments to provide a decent income in retirement.

 

I have the funds from several company pensions which I was unfortunately convinced to move to an overseas QROPS ... lost a lot in collapsed investments and 'fees', so now not a viable pension.

 

Fortunately I also bought two decent properties in the home country and paid for my home in Thailand, so have no debt.  Add in some savings for future major purchases (like a new car or motorbike), and my government pension, and I'm OK, but still need to be careful with expenses.

 

Although I've made some big investment errors, the two things I did do right was start early and buy property.  But I've been surprised how much it does take to fund a retirement.

Whatever it is you are on I suggest you stop.

Sounds like he means net worth.

It would be insane to hold 13 mb in cash unless you're Elon Musk or someone like that.

 

Well, at least I am not land poor in Thailand.

The go bag has enough for ticket out of Thailand, transport, food and a hotel.

 

I have no money.  It comes in the bank and is pissed away into the Thai family.  Druggies, debts, ''the land'' and their school and university fees.

Cash in baht? Enough to last me for two years in Thailand, living fairly modestly. I don't drink, non-smoker, have a steady GF. I don't touch the 800K baht required for the retirement extension.

 

I also have cash and other fairly liquid assets in Australia. Enough to last until I am over 100, not that it's likely I'll get there.

I have more than twice that amount in cash at the moment.  I don't think that I am insane.  But I could well be.
