    I am retired military and get about $3900.00 per month pension. I own my home outright. I am highly considering selling my house and truck to move outside of the US. Mexico and the Philippines are both choices I am looking into but this place isn't bad! I am only 43 so I have years to travel and pick a spot to really retire lol.

    Great video. It was very informative. Koh Phangan is a beautiful with even more beautiful people. I'd really be interested in knowing what travel and major medical insurance Jules is using. I've been in Thailand for 5 months with digital nomad insurance but I feel like it's not comprehensive enough.

    • @JewelsAthena
      @JewelsAthena Рік тому +1

      Hi Bryan. I have major medical ex-pat insurance. it covers me only on overnight stays in the hospital. I broke my wrist and had surgery just over a year ago and it was fully covered. But now I have an issue with the insurance company trying to wiggle their way out of paying the costs to remove the metal plate. So I will not recommend them.
