live for the moment!
Getting back to the subject, prior to moving out here I was wroking in OZ as a Travel Consultant on a paltry 40K/year, my lowest wage in years. It did however allow me a couple of trips out here per year due to the perks of working in the travel industry (cheap flights, hotels, etc). Last July however I sacrificed it all (sold my assets, quit my job, etc) and moved out here to teach english and also to be with my current thai wife. I had always dreamed of living in Thailand (epecially Phuket) and I have no regrets about coming out here even though I am not set up financially. I have learnt alot of things however and I realise that if I want to spend alot of time here in the future I will need to get some finances behind me. Which is why I am returning to Farangland soon with my wife to a reasonably well paid job so that eventually I will be able to return and live alot more comfortably.
So I guess I made a fairly big sacrifice to be here but looking back I would not do anything differently. To quote a friend and fellow bm "IF YOU HAVE AN ITCH........ SCRATCH IT!"
