Thank you so much for taking the time to interview us and provide us with an opportunity to share our experience with others as this is not information we would share on our own channel. We enjoyed the infused photos, they came out very nice. Wishing everyone happy holidays and travels!😊🌍 ✈
just retired to Thailand, arrived December 6th 2024. Starbucks is no cheaper here than NY, but since im paying $288 per month for a 3 br, 2 bath home vs $1600 for a 2 br condo in New York, Starbucks is guilt free! 😆
You can easily retire for less than $500 per month, village in Thailand 🇹🇭 - Fish in your local lake/river, grow your own rice, fruits, have some chicken… solar energy and water filter. 😅
As a single woman about to collect SS this year i have been retired for over 3 years in the US but it is soooo expensive. I am debt free and have a travel trailer on a lot full time as a home base in WA near my mom. I don't see getting rid of it as my son needs a place to live. I partially support him as well. He's had issues. I do travel - went to mexico this year and did a month long repositioning cruise this year. But the cost to live in the USA as a single woman is so high. I spent well over $50K this year. I probably spent over $4000 on health insurance and co pays and about that for vet bills. My health insurance premium went from $4 TO $170 a mo in 2025 . But the hard thing to me is being away from my two adult kids and my elderly mother who has no friends. The few she had have passed. How do you leave family? It's expensive to fly back and forth!! ALSO - the costs of Airbnb in all areas have significantly increased. I have been following for a few years. I travel with a cat so a lot of places are off limits to me. good luck with all your travels!

Excellent video .Thank you for sharing . I'm at 53 looking to retier at 63 can you please advise with more information regardi g 401K IRA ,early retier accounts you were talking about in the beginning on the video.. what that accounts that you can touch before59 or at 59 🙏 and thank you
You will need money to draw from or income if you move before you can touch 401k or IRA money at 59 1/2. I recommend you have a regular brokerage account if you’re an American, which is a stock account or a savings account large enough to bridge you to 59 1/2. See this video. ua-cam.com/video/aG6QWc3tUoI/v-deo.htmlsi=bh8JXCugHlY0W3VN
@Warren & Julie Travel - I wish you would do a whole video on something almost all travel blogs convineantly excuse themselves out of. HEALTHCARE ABROAD. Most american retirees care about that. Affordability is almost always associated with it. Hell we could retire in the U.S if the $uking healthcare in this country was not so rotten and unaffordable. So, with respect I request, please do a video on how you have dealt with healthcare aborad and how affordable or unaffordable it is. (Frustration with american healthcare obviously not directed at you ) :).
Great quality modern healthcare is SO much less expensive in Mexico where I’ve lived for the past two years. It was a very pleasant surprise, coming from the US.
I've been investing in Bitcoin by myself. I'm not really happy with what's going on, just few weeks ago I Lost about $7,000 in a particular trade. Can you help me out or at least advise me.
I will advise you stop trading on your own if you keep Losing. And i don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance from Marion Trimble
@@WarrenJulieTravelHmm. Might be nice to interview some younger families who are doing slow travel with school age kids, show and tell how that works. I know there are some full time travelers in the US who do homeschool curricula for their kids.

We really enjoyed getting to know your story and hope to meet in person. Merry Christmas and happy New Year’s:)
Very rewarding video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
@@warrenr.johnson7990 thank you I’m glad you liked it.
Really nice that Heather and Tom budget money to feed animals along the way. Very informative discussion.
It really is so generous and kind!!
Thanks!
This is exceptionally kind of you. Thank you so much.

Ah, the classic “Starbucks in paradise” dilemma! At least you can sip guilt-free while lounging in your 3-bedroom oasis!
The local coffee place on the beach, hand-pressed iced mocah is 50 baht, beachfront...much better than starbucks😂

Not sure the age matters because I don't think you can use Medicare outside of the US anyway.

Healthcare is only expensive in the USA. Medical insurance in Europe is very cheap.

She's my family personal Broker and also a Broker to many families here in the United states, she is a Licensed Broker.
Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!!
Most of these couples don't have children
We have two adult kids. Many have kids that are grown. Incorrect assumption.
