AdamRich Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Return to the US and be a hobo on the west coast. I hear Seattle and Portland are very generous. I think even the homeless can get food stamps.San Diego or Miami for me. I fed the homeless in Portland a few Christmas ago when there was like the biggest snowstorm and found out that it is definitely too cold there to be a hobo.

MobileContent Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I would sell off all the assets such as our SUV, my condo in Bangkok, a couple of iMacs plus 70% shares in my Singapore company. Alternative I would start selling of my websites and Mobile apps which should keep me/us going for at least 2 years. My Mrs also has 20 rai's of land which she inherited from her mother plus we have a house to sleep that I build 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRich Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Ok, clearly this is heading down hill fast. CLOSED Someone on here once posed the question that Members should go home and tell their wives or Girlfriends that they are suddenly broke to see what happens and if true love should prevail. My response was:JLC to TGF: Sorry honey -- I have gone suddenly broke. TGF: BS JLC -- you've been reading that silly farang website again, haven't you? LOL. A buddy of mine said that before he made her his girl he played really sick for a long time even having her wipe his ass for him. After that he "went broke" and she volunteered to go out and get a job to support them both. After she was on the job a while he made a recovery healthwise and financially. He said he knew from that he had a good one and wanted to keep her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kovaltech Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If you did good before your money ran out, good will come back to you... If you understand that there was a reason for you, to run out of money, then you'll learn how to live without it... If you'r a good person, there always will be a bed and a meal for you... so why worry about plan B ? Live the life of a good person... = plan A to Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybas Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I believe in planning ahead, so, for that reason, I have a plan "B", "C", "D" and "E". each plan is funded separately, no one has access to funds unless plan before it has been depleted. if for some reason, I am found dead, all "plan", minus burial (payed for by VA) traveling home expenses, money is then willed to VA in the USA. This way, no one gains if I suddenly jump from 8th floor, or slip and fall in bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustapha Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 you have plan b, ok, but if plan b not working, what would you do? That's a good question. What would you do? Panic, !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altalake Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The Helmsman is 100% right. Don't over-extend.

pmarlowe Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A lot depends on your age, employability, support network here or at home. However, if you built up some assets over a long time or a lifetime, even if you are living on the edge and fear going bust, you should always keep enough liquid cash on hand to live for at least three months. Healthcare plan is also a must. These two things at least give you time to sort things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was born and paid taxes in what some jealous people refer to as a nanny state. I was born with a plan B. It's trying to put plan B into operation that the trouble starts. Try landing in Heathrow as a pensioner with nowhere to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyWarbucks Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If you have been married for a long time and live among Thais you will be cared for... they take care of their own. I had health problems and was unable to work anymore. My wife and grown children along with the extended family came through for me. I've always loved Thailand - in spite of the many aggravations here - and now that love is being reciprocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmichd Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 you have plan b, ok, but if plan b not working, what would you do?Rob, steal and kill. This could only happen if authorities refuse to pay my pensions which are my property. I'm not about to beg again for the money that I have already worked for.

natway09 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Firstly, I doubt would go suddenly broke, just gradually so you would be aware of the impending doom. If going "home" is not an option take a short flight down a 30 storey building..... sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I would start in bar where beautiful rich Thai women pay bar fee to take me out and one may marry me and allow me a luxurious life. Only flaw in that one is 99% of them are already married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micmichd Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I assume for most, losing it "all" would take a little while. I can't imagine a scenario where I would dead broke overnight.
