Long story short: Boundless got money in da bank. No wonder those thai woman are after your gaijin ass lmao.

How do commenters reflect on who runs KZfaq???

I have nothing, but I have abundance. I'm a widow & I live on my husband's SS...$1470 a month. (the Gov't stole my SS) I'm healthy, eat organic, vegan.... No debt, NO doctors, no bills except for utilities... Most people could not live on $1470 a month!! My son helps me out w/computer, cell phone, but if he didn't, I just wouldn't have them. I don't watch TV. don't own one. I am 65 & awake!

Complains about KZfaq, puts 3 adverts on his video.... Hmm, irony is strong here.

I know exactly what youre saying. My number one rule in the little book I wrote on how to live free is "If you cant buy it with cash. Dont buy it." You are the king of your destiny when youre not in debt! And everyone can do it.

I have been subed for a long time now, I have a lot of respect for you Ryan. You are living life on your own terms. Not alot of people can do that. Keep it up brother.

Bless your heart for creating this blog Ryan. You'll never know how much it helped me to see this. Someone not desperate. Someone enjoying life. Someone who took risks and saved money. I look up to you. I'm only 19. We're all in this world together. Thanks for the awesome honesty

2:37 did this turd really just say "Liberry?"

Just like you, I only need the basics(food, shelter, clothing). I stopped being materialistic about 5 years ago and man!!!! It feels so good not being in debt. 20% of $1500/week is going into a 401K. I'm hoping that in 10 years I'll be able to quit my job and move to Thailand, live off the savings until the Social Security kicks in.

Short answer, I saved up for it.

really? Up until 30 you were in your 20s?

Thankyou Ryan. Truly a massive inspiration! First video I've seen of yours but i will definitely keep up to date from here. I just realised i have got a bunch of resumes to hand out tomorrow ;)

I switched off at 10 mins because the guy is waffling on. Why dont he come straight to the point? Does he live off investment or what?

You're an inspiration and keep up the hard work. I wish you the best and hope to grab a beer when I make the jump to Thailand my self. Kudos Brother.

really liked this video dude, keep up the good work!

Very good story! You answered one of my questions about living abroad. The freedom, the lack of stress is priceless.

14:20 - "Minimum amount of monthly income you would need to walk away from your job and live your dream life". I'm already well past that sum of money, but I can't fill the days. Just back from six weeks in Thailand, and - just like the last time I tried it - I can't fill a whole day if there's nothing I need to do. If you're reading this and you hate your job you probably think I'm nuts, but I'll tell you, having your own money and no actual need to do anything is as close to being long-term unemployed as makes no difference.

If anyone could summarize in a sentence how he lives in Thailand without working? I can't bear to listen anymore!

Thanks Ryan for the info. Great to hear how you changed your mindset and are now reaping the benefits from it. More power to you!

Really good video Ryan. As usual, real down to earth.

This video was really pretty inspiring.

I did accumulate debt like everybody else Ryan. But, I was raised like a miniature adult. and I was educated to understand how important it is to comprehend and manage your finances, while understanding economics to establish wealth! For many of our citizens, you just can't rely on Social Security as a main source of income because its not enough for the vast majority of the Americans to live off. With the uncertainties pertaining to Social Security in the decades to come, the future regarding it looks bleak! Right now, I have no debt... No mortgage, no car loans, no credit card debt, and no student debt! I don't owe money to the IRS, the state or any liens! I learned how important it is to be a salaried employee and a small entrepreneur because I listen to all those that understood business and finances as a boy! From my parents, to the senior citizens in my neighborhood that are Italian, Jewish, Irish, Greek, Albanian and Chinese business owners that educated me on business/finances. I strongly believe that finances should be taught from K-12 grade. Parents should teach their kids finances but many of these parents are financially illiterate. Think about the insanity. We send kids to school so they can get into a career, and ultimately earn a paycheck. Yet, the majority give them little to no financial education as to how to manage that money. These kids end up in heavy debt before their lives start and lose years trying to fix those mistakes while creditors reap the profits. Finances is not just personal finance. It ranges from basic interest, to investing, to taxes, to mortgages, to understanding retirement. These are concepts used by every adult throughout their entire lives yet we give it the least amount of attention in our educational system. Growing up as a child, I use to help the senior citizens in my community. One took me aside and stressed one thing. All your payments, groceries, car ,gas, rent, /or mortgage should fit in one paycheck (I get paid twice a month from my salaried position), no if, and, or buts. That gives you the other check to save and invest. For my sake, he was right! If I could find him (hopefully he's still alive) I would like to thank him for taking the time with me to explain. What credit really is, is like a convenient store of finances. You can have it now, but you're REALLY gonna pay for it. Financial slavery is what debt is all about. Remember, Debt = Slavery!

Awesome Ryan, just awesome! Thanks for the boosting Inspiration. Peace & take care!

Great video Ryan! Very insightful 👍🏻

I will send you 50.00 bucks if you make out with a lady boy over there and post it on KZfaq

One of your best videos.

Loved your video. Very informative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

another great video, my friend. I'm happy for you!

Way to go Ryan!For me, I just retired for the second time. Financially, I don't need to work again. Just travel and enjoy life.Take care.

Love your videos Ryan, you preach so much truth

Great video Ryan, keep it up

Thanks for the tips,that was a fantastic video ! Keep up enjoying your life, and I hope to meet you one day in Pattya.

Rich dad poor dad was a great book but never finished it.... After 4-5 holidays to thailand and getting sick of western society's grind and pressure to live a certain way i decided to save for a few years then move to thailand on the cheap,where i would have enough money for 2 years whilst i teach myself to trade stocks online... I'm currently living in vietnam and its starting to work out well. I'm 35 and i've set myself up for a good life abroad.. There are many ways to make money and live the life you always wanted, i guess it comes down to the old saying, How Bad Do You Want It?

so you're an English teacher in Japan with no family then you moved to a 4th world country, Bravo dude

Good job Ryan. Motivational video. keep up the good work.

Ryan, Great video! You are not a slave to instant gratification. You started late, but you put in the heavy lifting and now you can enjoy life. It's really surprising what little you really need to survive.

Good advice however you do look knackered (tired) your skin looks worn out and inflamed. I have a friend in China who worked like 60 hours a week and in about 5 years he looked really bad with baggy eyes and bad skin. So you gain some and lose some obviously it is about living to your means and reaching a healthy balance. You can go all out for a couple of years but to do it for years and years you will perhaps pay for it in the future with ill health.

I spent a lot of my money on woman booze and some gambling and the rest I just squandered

great video Ryan!! great content. thanks for being bigger than the haters and following your path and not theirs.

Dear Ryan, you are a life guru. I agree 100% with what you said and I felt exactly the same when I turned 30. I am 32 years old now, I travelled to 43 countries and stayed away from home for 9.5 years before moving back to my hometown. I even lived 1.5 year in Thailand. Enjoy your life. Greetings from Switzerland. AJ

Rich Dad/ Poor Dad is anti-job.

This guy's a genius. No wonder he was a teacher. He worked out that until he turned 30 he was in his 20s. OMG he's Einstein.

Your honesty is appreciated - good to see you in Thailand - I think you will be there long time.

No lie I just started watching your channel before my japan trip in April and since you've moved to Thailand. your mood has greatly improved. At first i thought Thailand was depressing but your attitude and how you present things makes it pretty interesting. Props man. I hope to be in your position someday.

america thanks you for leaving

You sure love the sound of your own voice.

Kudos for your achievements Ryan Boundless!!! Wishing you the very best in life

Really good video! Thanks for sharing!

Well this video bums me out. A dude with a fair amount of money in banks & investment accounts living modestly in Thailand. There is nothing revelatory about this. Work hard for 20 years & don't spend your money on wine, women, wives & children I thought this was going to be about a creative, interesting way to live in Thailand with little to no money stashed away. I'm bummed out because wives (yes plural) have all my money. Now single & in my middle age, I can't move or live anywhere I want unless I am gainfully employed. Yep, I was a fool.

Money talk is cultural. Since you have an international audience, local taboos don't apply.

Excellent video bro.. Really enjoyed this one. Peace..

Thanks for sharing Ryan!

this guy is a mess,,,

up until 30 u were in ur 20's? thats insane

Good video. First one of yours I've seen, but just subscribed. Went to Pattaya for the first time 12 months ago. Been back two more times since and will be visiting again this summer with friends. Yeah it had a quite an impact on me. God I want to live in SEA.

I am planning on moving to Thailand for school soon so that's what brought me here. I am glad you have been able to make things work and be happy in a new place. I am hopeful that I will be able to do the same! :)

shit man this really made me think about my future, glad you made this vid

I have also read Rich Dad Poor Dad. Glad the book had an impact on you. STASH CASH! rotate savings into investments! BOO YA!

You say you were fortunate a lot in this video, but I strongly believe it was your perseverance and sheer will to change your life which created those opportunities for you. Sometimes the fear of risk is too much for some to bear. You are an inspiration to people like me who are also looking for a way out and I thank you for taking the time to make this video. Also my wife is from Thailand so very familiar with the encompassing beauty and rich culture that the country offers.

great video ryan you have got me thinking right now , unsure of what id need to walk away

Ryan this was a great video! I wish you always had this demeanor in your videos, and not the "Hey Fucktards" side of you. Thats what drew me to your channel a year ago, and and ive since watched all your videos. The advice of prolonging your spending for instant satisfaction is all really good advice. -Dreamcrusher out

He escaped from Japan? Godzilla ran him out of town LOL

Amazing video, truly what you and this channel is all about--being real about everything...Peace brotha!

nice video, thanks!

1000 bucks a month, after tax.........I am a humble, low-cost individual, post-family and a lover of heat and travel - no drink, no smoke, no broads.......liked your vid Ryan and you probably made your point.........keep em coming, man

Very interesting story, and it explains how you came to dislike Japan, so many jobs, as the old wisdom goes; all work no play makes Jack a dull boy. Money counts, so does quality of life. Working productively in the right field can be gratifying far more than just the money. Keep exploring, finding your balance is the best goal, enjoy the big world, you sure got a good start at only 40, someday you'll be 50, 60, and more, a long way to go, have fun.

its good to hear from you again bro!!! live life do ur thing ignore the haters!!

Hey Ryan. I already did retire about 5 years ago. I moved to Bangkok three years ago. My social security from America plus IRA distribution is about $3K a month, and I live very well here. No wife, no bills, and everything in moderation. Plus I have a 4 million baht nest egg. I travel all over Southeast Asia as it is very cheap to do so. And to top it off, I save about 10-15 thousand baht per month. Life is good, indeed! I figured out what you did about living frugally and saving about 30 years ago, but you are doing even better than me. Good job Ryan!

Ryan can you make you videos last only 3-5 minutes? I don't have 14 minutes to spend on a single video. Thanks

I like how you title the video "How I live in Thailand without working" then proceed to describe the work you did.

good video ryan, i enjoyed it. keep up the dream man :)

Great job bro! I'm happy for you. Even though I've never met you, I'm proud of your accomplishment.

"I worked really hard in Japan". As a TEFL teacher :'D So hard....so, so hard.

Ryan, bro! Perhaps it's rude, but we want to know about your life! We mostly see one part of your life where you travel, and live a nice life! We want to know more. Your hurting my feelings, bro! (Just kidding though)

Great video Ryan.

Ryan, Your comments are spot on. You drew the line, held yourself to standards, and then took action. Many cannot take the first step. Kudos!

Cheers, that saved me a bit of time, less than a minute in and you've insulted your viewers already. Don't need to watch someone with so much contempt.

Why do you ask money from your subscribers? I dont understand.

Thanks for sharing man. I'm glad you are enjoying living your dream.

Wow Ryan, Thanks for the inspiration. Its something I have been working towards, retiring in Thailand. Your one of the good guys ;)

Love this video. Very informative. Thank you for this.

Sounds like your living your life the way you want to and your conscious efforts paid off. Wishing you continued health and prosperity in all you do.

I watched this video and it made me really happy. You seem like a down to earth guy who makes KZfaq videos for a living. keep up the good work.

"Good on you"😀take care,Thanks for great videos ... all the best!!

Thanks for sharing that, it was encouraging.

Great info, thanks!

One of your best videos!

nice job man, good video

I am glad hard work payed off. Enjoy your life Ryan, you certainly earned it.

Nice! Well done!

Great video, the hard work is paying off. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book and made a big impact on me. I wish I had read it a lot sooner though but better late than never.

loved this real talk man!

Good advice. Lots of wisdom in your savings outline . Thank you

thank you for sharing your story, it is very inspiring.

Great video man. Thanks for sharing. Just came home from a trip to Japan :) and I remember reading Rich dad Poor dad over 10 years ago. Unfortunately I didn't do much with the information except look into real estate a bit :)

Great video.

Ryan, you are really smart. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

WTG . Was wondering myself admittedly. Thanks for being candid. Agree with Amanda as well

interesting story and very positive video, thanks !

thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it. James
