I like how you’re not just about chasing women…just simply enjoying travel. I travel solo a lot and get great joy eating at different restaurants and going to coffee shops, I went to KL last year and found it to be wonderful and very inexpensive. Going from a $30 airbnb to a $60 airbnb is like going from a $100 hotel to $300 in the west.

I concur. My lower risk fixed income products are paying for my life abroad. Living a very limited existence in the Las Vegas area used to cost me 2x as much as my life costs now in beautiful SE Asia. And I am enjoying myself much more than I was in The States. For example, my last Uber ride to the airport there to leave the US cost me more than my 1st 12 Bolt rides *combined* here in SE Asia. My rent here is ONE THIRD of what it was there, for a slightly smaller - but way newer - 1br condo. This list goes on and on. Do I miss The States? Nope. I'll got back once a year to see family - who I visited once a year from 2000 miles away when I lived in the US, so it's not really any less. In fact, flying around the world to get there, I'll probably stay there a few weeks instead of 10 days, just to make the long flights worth while. SE Asia IS A WIN by any metric!

Absolutely gorgeous park , very well planned. I love that the natural beauty of nature was incorporated into the city, a nice reprieve . Im really listening to your financial advice and tips. Its hitting hard for me as I have admittedly spent enormous amounts of money on unnecessary stuff, just 6 month ago I realized how bad my habit was. I was looking for things to buy. That has changed. 12:40 was hysterical, you just were gone backpack and dust in the wind . Low cost living here in the West is extremely challenging. Everything is sky high the worst Ive seen. We are getting $ 600.00 electric bills...and the electric company is asking for a 10% increase. Looking forward to a change.

I just found your channel about a month ago. I love hearing how to do this. My husband is retiring in a few months and also will be getting a sizable inheritance in a few months. We are thinking about doing the same thing as you. Going to different countries in Asia for as long as they allow us visa free. We also contemplated buying a house in Tennessee and living there cheaper as we would buy the house in cash. But I think going to Asia to live will be financially better. We need your channel. I need living over is Asia for dummies as I have no idea from start to finish to do this. Your channel is giving me some much needed info. Please keep talking about how to do this in simple terms. I love this info your giving. Not many people are being specific about this and like I said I need living in Asia for dummies course lol. Have a wonderful week 🤗

I find it fascinating that someone from Hawaii, is able to be happy travelling SE Asia 👍. I’m from Australia and it would be equally hard for one of us to do the same. But I would love it also… have to get to that point first of course with the wifee. We just got back from a holiday in Narm and Singapore. Loved it but I wouldn’t live there… Denang maybe for a short spell. There maybe some other hidden gems but I didn’t see them. Malaysia KL is very much on our hit list next as is China. Your financial advice is good, but I have serious concerns about the US$ stability over the next years. And in light of that where will that leave treasuries and Bonds?

You can buy phone and laptop chargers that will fit you USBC or iPhone from literally any store or market and you will walk past a lot. Phuket airport has a mini mart right outside the airport exit so you will never have to worry about that. Never overpack for every thing you might need because you can just get clothes or electronics when you're there. My only advice is when you're at Chinatown in KL the prices are roughly double, so always ask for just under half the price they want, if they say no ask if there's anything similar for that price. Or walk/train 2km to Bukit Bintang or lala port to buy at that price from those Mini marts

Just wanted to tell you something, I am as a Malaysian. My friend had an car accident and broke his hip ball joint and needed replacement. It all cost him RM700 for a titanium hip joint and a week at the government hospital. It was a huge operation with 5~6 doctors and 8 hour operation. THE whole bill was RM700 surgery and including the titanium hip ball joint !! Its like less than USD150 bucks. The surgery was free they only charge him for the titanium ball hip joint. Edit: My grandma passed away at the same hospital. She had multiple organ failure. They gave her morphine injection to reduce her pain for 3 days until she couldn't make it anymore. she was 100 years old. That costs us ZERO money.
