The Xaiomi 4 compact and 4 lite versions have a non programmable LED screen, the 4 and 4Pro have a OLED screen with programmable buttons… Using the app is not that complicated and really only needs to be used once to set the fan speed for your favorite mode (all models have a button to turn the favorite mode to on)… The app can be on your phone or a tablet… I have it on my iPad… I especially like the apps ability to set schedules so they go on and off in different rooms… So the bedroom goes on a half an hour before bedtime and goes off in the morning when I’m in the shower… And the main living room goes on and go accordingly… -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
When you return your state pension reverts to the pension applicable to that date. Should you return to Thailand within 2 yrs your pension will return to the rate of your previous frozen pension. If you remain in the UK for 2yrs or more and then return to live in Thailand, your pension will once again be frozen to the rate of when you return. Nobody has mentioned that pensions paid by local government or other government departments are not frozen. The same applies to the high pension received by MP. Therefore we must conclude that Their cost of living increases each year unlike those suffered by those on a frozen pension. -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
sorry for you, but I will endeavor to educate you , please read the following : Insufficient savings or investments Not saving enough during working years. Living expenses outpacing savings rate. Poor investment returns Bad investment choices (too conservative or too risky). Market downturns at critical times (especially right before or after retirement). High cost of living Living in an expensive location. Inflation eroding purchasing power faster than anticipated. Unexpected expenses Major health issues or medical bills. Family emergencies (supporting children, parents, etc.). Debt problems Carrying mortgage, credit card, or personal loan debts into retirement. Underestimating retirement duration Living longer than expected (great for life, tough for finances). Lifestyle inflation Increasing spending habits when income rises, rather than saving the extra. Lack of a clear financial plan No retirement budget or withdrawal strategy. No contingency planning for market crashes or emergencies. Unexpected economic events Severe recessions or financial crises. Currency devaluation (important if living abroad). Changes in government policies Reduced pension or superannuation benefits. Higher taxes or loss of social security supports. Divorce or relationship breakdown Legal costs and asset division can severely impact retirement savings. Bad financial advice or scams Falling victim to fraud or poor financial advice. Over-reliance on one asset For example, counting only on a house appreciating or a business sale. Health preventing work continuation Forced early retirement due to injury, illness, or disability. Poor insurance coverage Not enough health, life, or long-term care insurance coverage. so as you can see there are many reasons which could lead to an individual not being financially well off later in life , and perhaps stop showing a lack of wisdom and maybe just show more empathy and understanding.
