my expat plan udon thani issan part 1

well i thought i would update my plan for full retirement on my blog so here goes
from my own personal experiences coming up with a retirement plan is not so difficult from whatever background you come from the hardest thing is making a start finally putting something into action
it.s very easy to put serious retirement planning of till next year especially if your budget is tight
anyway and i say this from the prospective of a typical man our woman who discovers Thailand and udon thani quiet a few years before retirement
we found are spot so to speak maybe even met a girl and married her as i did this was probably preceded buy many flights backwards and forwards for short holidays which even if within your budget can make a big dint in anybody's finances
what i tried to do at every turn is look at need and wont 2 things that come into play in a big way when your trying to make those pennies our cense build into pounds dollars our euro.s
coming from a relatively poor background i learned the value of money and from leaving the education system i have never worked week to week for money to live on
slowing building up my nest egg don't get me wrong i have wasted thousands
but even a small investment over a long period of time can pay big dividends ok yes the stockmarket.s dropped again and they will again and again but look at what you have today and take away your salary and replace it with state related retirement benefits could you survive on that no way
so what can we do about it well to save money is pointless if you have debts pay them of over 1 year 3 years our 10 but do it
yes a mortgage is a debt but with the chance of your capital investment growing
putting this aside for know and really look at what you spend this comes back to need and wont i could droll on but i would be interested to find out from my reders what combation of investments they have our would recommend
i will post my list of investments at a later date regards john
