I'm here in the U.S, I'm 29 yrs old with a beautiful asian girlfriend ( 6 yrs in this relationship, definately getting married sometime soon ). Anyway we already starting out retirement plans in Thailand in the future. I once thought I could never live elsewhere beside U.S but once Traveled around especially in Asia such as Thailand and Vietnam I see the bigger picture in life. Not that living in the U.S is not affordable but today I look around here all I see is BS, bad news and taxes and taxes and taxes... I agreed that most ( not all ) American citizens are too busy working to make a living and especially paying too much taxes they don't really understand life and the world. The system has everyone here running on treadmills, no time to think for themselves just shut and pay your taxes.. No longer you can decide which over the counter drugs to take because commercials will make the decisions for you automaticaly. Doctor being forced to prescribed whatever consumer wants what they see advertised on TV or else consumers will go to another Doctor to get what they want. Politicians in congress no longer desire to use the world " CONSERVE ENERGY " they rather used the term " SELF-EFFICIENCY"
" as SUV consumers and high paying income citizens might not vote for them.
I SIMPLY CAN NOT WAIT TIL THE DAY I RETIRE IN THAILAND
