No debt, NO doctors, no bills except for utilities... Most people could not live on $1470 a month!! My son helps me out w/computer, cell phone, but if he didn't, I just wouldn't have them.

    Keep in mind that Social Security doesn't pay out a lot these days. I've been paid quite well all of my life and, as a result, my social security deduction has been hitting the annual cap since my 20's. Not everyone knows, but the government actually caps your deductions at some point so they won't owe you too much SS in the future. Even having hit that cap for two decades, my projected income is still only in the $1,xxx/mo range. If you're in your 40's when you quit your job, you might expect a similar number. Higher in your 50's, of course, lower in your 30's. $1,500 might be enough to live comfortably in Thailand or some similar nation right now, but in the future, as the country modernizes, and as more people like yourself look to retire there, the economy will strengthen and your dollars may not buy as much. I would consider SS a bonus, for sure, but I would plan through the end of my life based on my own savings and not SS, and definitely don't plan based on the current economy of your projected retirement site.

    14:20 - "Minimum amount of monthly income you would need to walk away from your job and live your dream life". I'm already well past that sum of money, but I can't fill the days. Just back from six weeks in Thailand, and - just like the last time I tried it - I can't fill a whole day if there's nothing I need to do. If you're reading this and you hate your job you probably think I'm nuts, but I'll tell you, having your own money and no actual need to do anything is as close to being long-term unemployed as makes no difference.

    I did accumulate debt like everybody else Ryan. But, I was raised like a miniature adult. and I was educated to understand how important it is to comprehend and manage your finances, while understanding economics to establish wealth! For many of our citizens, you just can't rely on Social Security as a main source of income because its not enough for the vast majority of the Americans to live off. With the uncertainties pertaining to Social Security in the decades to come, the future regarding it looks bleak! Right now, I have no debt... No mortgage, no car loans, no credit card debt, and no student debt! I don't owe money to the IRS, the state or any liens! I learned how important it is to be a salaried employee and a small entrepreneur because I listen to all those that understood business and finances as a boy! From my parents, to the senior citizens in my neighborhood that are Italian, Jewish, Irish, Greek, Albanian and Chinese business owners that educated me on business/finances. I strongly believe that finances should be taught from K-12 grade. Parents should teach their kids finances but many of these parents are financially illiterate. Think about the insanity. We send kids to school so they can get into a career, and ultimately earn a paycheck. Yet, the majority give them little to no financial education as to how to manage that money. These kids end up in heavy debt before their lives start and lose years trying to fix those mistakes while creditors reap the profits. Finances is not just personal finance. It ranges from basic interest, to investing, to taxes, to mortgages, to understanding retirement. These are concepts used by every adult throughout their entire lives yet we give it the least amount of attention in our educational system. Growing up as a child, I use to help the senior citizens in my community. One took me aside and stressed one thing. All your payments, groceries, car ,gas, rent, /or mortgage should fit in one paycheck (I get paid twice a month from my salaried position), no if, and, or buts. That gives you the other check to save and invest. For my sake, he was right! If I could find him (hopefully he's still alive) I would like to thank him for taking the time with me to explain. What credit really is, is like a convenient store of finances. You can have it now, but you're REALLY gonna pay for it. Financial slavery is what debt is all about. Remember, Debt = Slavery!

    Hey Ryan. I already did retire about 5 years ago. I moved to Bangkok three years ago. My social security from America plus IRA distribution is about $3K a month, and I live very well here. No wife, no bills, and everything in moderation. Plus I have a 4 million baht nest egg. I travel all over Southeast Asia as it is very cheap to do so. And to top it off, I save about 10-15 thousand baht per month. Life is good, indeed! I figured out what you did about living frugally and saving about 30 years ago, but you are doing even better than me. Good job Ryan!

    Good advice however you do look knackered (tired) your skin looks worn out and inflamed. I have a friend in China who worked like 60 hours a week and in about 5 years he looked really bad with baggy eyes and bad skin. So you gain some and lose some obviously it is about living to your means and reaching a healthy balance. You can go all out for a couple of years but to do it for years and years you will perhaps pay for it in the future with ill health.

He owns 4 properties and he has rebuilt the homes with an american/thai fusion. Meaning you no longer have to take a shit in a hole in the ground, running filtered water, "HOT SHOT" water heaters and CENTRAL AIR in each house.

    I was self employed for 10 years and then quit working and still got enough to carry on for many years. But once you get a family, specially kids... it's never good enough. I had to get back to work because one wants to travel, to buy good education, clothes, insurance, food (organic and local grown), eating out, go to disneyworld - in short all the stuff you can only do when you earn a good amount of cash. I can safely say that on my wife and daughter I spend at least 3 times as much as what I would need to get by on my own.

If I remember correctly we spent around $1400USD/month... so we're currently back in the states employing a lot of the same techniques you're talking about; trying to get to that magic $1500/$2000 month number so we can go indefinitely.

    Very interesting story, and it explains how you came to dislike Japan, so many jobs, as the old wisdom goes; all work no play makes Jack a dull boy. Money counts, so does quality of life. Working productively in the right field can be gratifying far more than just the money. Keep exploring, finding your balance is the best goal, enjoy the big world, you sure got a good start at only 40, someday you'll be 50, 60, and more, a long way to go, have fun.

I was talking to my team lead a few weeks ago about real estate and portfolio diversification when he told me I should read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad". I already have no debt and don't buy things I can't pay for in cash so I am going to purchase that book right now after both of your recommendations. Its funny because the conversation got started over me asking him about having a 401k in addition to an IRA. Great vid!

    I would need about $1000 US a month consistently for the rest of my life (not considering inflation). I currently earn between minus 5000€ and plus 20000€ per month and so can earn large amounts of money but my revenue streams are very volatile and high responsibility. Ideal situation would be to be able to position myself into a situation whereby I would passively generate one thousand a month, then I would be exceedingly rich for the rest of my life in Thailand or many other parts of Asia.

    It is pretty easy. When you are in Thailand without a job you are either retired (need to be 50+ of age with 800.000 baht in the bank or 65.000 baht a month retirement) or you have a job. Any other situation and you are a tourist. Which forces you to exit the country every month. And you are not guaranteed to get a new visa, so be ready to leave.

    Ryan, I'm not sure if you know this or not but you TOTALLY have a Japanese accent now. When I watched my first "Boundless" video you were talking about Gaijin Hunters and I didn't pick up on it then because I wasn't as familiar with the asian accent as I am now (sister in law is Korean). But now, after being around her for a few months and just picking up on her accent and listening to other japanese people (really asian not necessarily japanese). You TOTALLY took some of that with you. Hope that doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth but ya. it's there! lol. Listen to how you said "Guru" and then listen play the video over again and your language abilities start becoming evident. lol.

He's living in a luxury condominium which has an Olympic size swimming pool, gym, concierge, security, etc, near downtown Bangkok. I'm talking about an old timer whose generous pension gives him access to young local putang on a regular basis. The guy lives like a king in Thailand and he has no intention of ever returning stateside.

I will like to go to a nice place where there is plenty of nature, Good Schools for my son, possibly a beach and cleanliness. Which place in Thailand would you recommend? Some people told me about Chiang Mai do you agree or you think there is a better place for a family to move in to? I was thinking to come for holiday couple of months to see how it is and decide. Maybe travel little around.... Which places do you think may be candidates for a good lifestyle but also with good education like good universities? Thanks!
