Australia "forced" us into early retirement with it's various issues around loss of personal freedoms, high taxes/cost of living, etc. So we just sold up everything and left. When a couple can live quite well for $2500AUD a month in places like Thailand slogging it out until old age didn't seem so appealing.
Thank you for sharing. Not quite the focus of this video, but on this note, many Australians have followed this path searching for more enjoyable lifestyles in cheaper locations. Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and many parts of Europe are certainly among the popular choices.
