Hello folks, whats ur thoughts on the subject?

I know most thais who work for thai companies they are hardcore working mon to saturday (yes every saturday)

And as I heard their retirement age is set at 55 yrs old, i do not think it enought to save up till their death???

cus they got like 30 yrs mortage and like 7 yrs loans on their ride and stuff.

 

i know there are upper income peeps as well like husband & wife both working eaching brining the bacon 100-150KB each totaaling 300KB per month

But for general plebs whos making 9K-30KB per month, how they gonna surive with no great incoming coming after the age of 55? 

im quite concerned for my thai acquaintances around me, (i dont want to bring this topic direct to them though, i might get stabbed or lose some teeth)

"And as I heard their retirement age is set at 55 yrs old"

You heard wrong - sorry.
