    Subscribed…nice reinforcement of my experience in Asia…I 8:03 don’t think I can afford to return to USA. Plus I’m having fun still after 4 years.

      I understand completely
      I have now been full time in southeast Asian countries for over six months and the Middle East for about five years before that
      Saved so much money over high US living costs
      And I was able to invest money
      Have a great week, Jeff

      Embarking on this new chapter of retirement? Remember, proactive financial planning is the key to unlocking a secure and fulfilling future. Instead of solely relying on any factor, consider staying invested with a trusted financial advisor. They can guide you towards strategic investments, ensuring your retirement is not just stable but prosperous. Take control of your financial destiny and embrace the retirement you've always envisioned!!

    Geo arbitrage is the best choice for me. All my friends in US are in deep denial with magical thinking that nothing bad will ever happen. They are on the edge with huge incomes as huge debts. That lifestyle is normalized in US. The music will stop and they will be baked. Not me. I love freedom, cultural exploration, being fully responsible, living consciously, happiness, peace of mind and optimism, not fear and anxiety about the future. Great content

      Similar to your plan
      I’m glad you are enjoying Thailand and Vietnam

    The things you are talking about are crazy, I think its a lot of keeping up with the jonses. I went to Lebanon on my last RnR and they do 100 year home mortgages. I think you are right in what you are doing. I also REALLY value my time over slaving away to buy a $90,000 just to look good for someone else.........Also that vehical wont be worth 90k when/if its payed off. I think its worth living ouitside USA. I have been looking at Equidor. I want to need less money but retire super early.

    What are the vaccination requirements in Vietnam and Thailand ?

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  11 місяців тому

      very good question. vietnam has an e visa requirement you need to do a few weeks before going. very few countries require this. in the evisa website they want you to upload your shots and booter docs. so its full vax if that is a problem just go to cambodia ... they did not ask anything and its really nice there. cheap and go visit angkor wat!

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  11 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, but I have to tell you … 30 days in Vietnam is a nice visit … then I’m ready to get back to Thailand or Philippines
      They both have one year visa opportunities
      So it works out

    Good advice R & G ... i found myself looking for a new Car and the starting price for my desired Car is $55,000. Insane! I bought my current Tacoma for around $26,000 brand new back in 2011. I see no reason to waste $ on another vehicle when i already have one that is paid off and in great condition. Im curious if you still carry your Hawaii Car insurance even tho you no longer live there. I heard if there is a gap in insurance that they penalize you if you return to the States and try to get coverage again. Not sure if that is true or not. Take care and enjoy your time in Viet Nam

    • @RetireandGo
      @RetireandGo  Рік тому +2

      Very interesting question
      The insurance is an issue yes
      There are a few things you can do
      One, park your car and then get insurance for stored car, much cheaper. Two, sell your car and put insurance on hold not cancel
      Ask your carrier about this
      My home is also covered by the same carrier so putting auto on hold was easy with one phone call
