Worrying about money is what we do best here in the good ole US. He didn't want to anymore.

The TanMan
If you set out for a new life with new work (good income), etc., then you can cut out most of all of your money worry. If you pan on moving to Thailand with X amount in the bank and live of that you need to make sure you plan will work or you will have plenty to worry about later.

Personally, I see a move to Thailand as (someday) putting a halt to my money worries as I could proberbly be happy with 1/3 the nest egg, but I still have to have a sound plan. Now I realize that the last statement put me back to American (of farang) thinking, but some of may not be able to let go 100%.
