FIRE in Thailand

Sensible and practical advice on all aspects of looking after your money in Thailand and focusing on a comfortable retirement.


What does your retirement from teaching look like?

There's no excuse not to invest and plan.

Planning for retirement doesn't have to be complicated. All you have to do is spend less than you make and invest the difference for the long-term. That's it. I know you are thinking that's easier said than done, but start small.

In many ways, it's like nightlife doesn't exist unless you specifically go looking for it. There's no doubt the industry is dying.
