Sandman77 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just imagine , when the euro fall again after a maybe Greek exit eu in the same level , after the ugly ezb deal yesterday and one euro hits 30€, is it then time to go home for most expats? Where is your limit? If you live same standart like in Europe 3000k euro in one month or maybe more are gone in only 4 week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Briggsy Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 There are many ways to hedge against currency fluctuation. Look into ETF's or funds with assets denominated in other currencies. If you are living hand to mouth though, this becomes much more difficult to achieve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdanielmcev Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't see any reason for Thailand to devalue its' currency, as trade will more than make up for any deficit from tourists. So, if you aren't getting any more than a government pension, yeah, you might be in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahSiam Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Depends on how many euros you can bring in every month, I would've thought.

Popular Post zierf1 Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't complain to me, Euroman . While we Americans had crappy exchange rates for years, you Europeans were living the high life in Thailand. About time the Euro has taken a hit from it's lofty levels. Can't say I really sympathize. Anyways, the US$ has been crappy but there are still plenty of American expats around. Guess the ones with no money or lacking the will to stay will go home first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartempion Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 On a serious note: my pension is +-3000 euro/month, if THB goes South to 30 I wont be back (fly to Europe every 6 months for 1 month, April and September flight tickets booked and paid for). Spending winter 2015/2016 in Europe becomes a possibility. The only thing I will miss really is warm weather 350 days/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puukao Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Oh, this will be hurt at some point......but if yields went back to 16%....then just invest all your money in bonds and retire on the interest!!!!! on 100,000 bond, you get 16,000 a year....now you get less than 2,000 a year........
