People keep posting, Thailand expensive, but I'm not seeing it!
It's all difficult to compare, since so much depends on where you live, and how you want to live. We used to own several condo's in Noble Remix in Bangkok. 50m2 and we used to get ฿30,000/month for them, shoebox's really but nice and in a great location. We now own condo's back in the US, 1000ft2, or 92m2 and we rent them for $1000/month, so the same, still rather nice in a great part of town. Food is always tricky and it depends how 'local' you want to go. I was never into buying meat at one of those outdoor stalls with the swirling fan trying to keep the flies away, I'd always pay more in Top's for meat that at least looked more hygienic. For sure our grocery bill is higher in the US than when we are in Thailand, but last time the gap is narrowing, but again, ain't prepared to go full native Utilities not much in it, and at least the power stays on all time time here! You said you are on Medicare, so you're at least paying Part B. If you get an Advantage plan they do cover you for overseas travel, which might be worth looking into, then you're not committing yourself to be reliant on the local Government hospitals, which outside BKK vary wildly to say the least -

Trump ambushes South African president at White House meeting
After all these years of so many lies, mistruths, misinformation, exaggeration- in other words steaming horse manure, how can the Trump fanboys still believe a word he says? Beyond belief. -

Gold, the undisputed "safe harbor". Or is it?
Gold goes up when people lose confidence in governments. I think that's happening now. Interesting most Thais, especially women, usually know what the price is and buy it when they have extra money. -

Yes but, they do this after marriage, not before. -

Dating 22-Year-Old Thai Bubble Tea Girl - She Just Asked for 30K/Month – Am I Being Played?
I'll wager she is taking home over 100,000 baht/month. -

Dating 22-Year-Old Thai Bubble Tea Girl - She Just Asked for 30K/Month – Am I Being Played?
When i met my wife, she was a recent graduate from the University starting a new job making only 15k a month. She was hot then and still now. Her income has tripled now with her career. She gets money from me monthly now but 90% of it pays our monthly bills. We save money in a joint account that does not have a ATM card and can not be taken by one person only. Through all the years we have been married, she has rarely asked me for help with family money although I have offered occasionally when i see a real need for them. I say this to give a small comparison. There is almost a 20 year gap between us. Back then, when I met her and we dated. She never asked me for money, in fact, she would buy me dinners that she brought home and sometime when we went out. Not because i did not have money ok. So, I am of the opinion that if she wants you for love and a possible future always to be together. Then she would not be asking you for money now. Perhaps her friends tried to tell her it is normal for a foreigner to pay support to keep a GF. Which leads me to think she is talking to some type of working girls that are not (good girls). Also, you have to consider, if you were a Thai man, she would not be asking you for money and most likely giving you money instead. If you see this girl as someone you want to continue with to make a future being married, then paying her off like a prostitute is not something you want to do. She will not truly love you and will stay with you simply to get the money you are giving her. Once you go down this path, it will only get worse. If she is serious about you and feels love and considering a future with you, then she would not be asking for your money now simply because she will be wanting you to have lots of money once you get hitched. Perhaps, you should quietly tell her these things the next time the topic is brought up. Does she want your money now, leaving you with less to buy a house and make a family? Or does she have real feeling and considering a future with you both always together. Just remember, once you start paying her. Then you are no longer the BF. You are downgraded to the sugar-daddy or customer. By the way, your gf knows that once married you , she will have better access to your money to aid family if needed. To ask now, means she is looking at you as an ATM machine. It will only get worse. If she truly supports her family as she claims, how is she doing it now and what has changed since before you both started the relationship? Nothing most likely so she is just using that as an excuse now. You are posting that your GF wants you to begin paying her for her love. You can surely figure it out this way. Perhaps it is time to take a step back to assess this with your big head instead of your little one.
