money and new year expat udon thani issan
Sunday
well another year over and a new one begins if i look back on 2009 i could honestly say it was one of the worst years and one of the best the bad side about it was the distinct possibility that i would go from very little work income to none at all the first half of the year was the worst but things seem to have levelled out at least that is my perception
when these annalists speak of green shots a better a analogy would have been green shots in a desert yes many industries have seen demand increase but at the cost of thousands of business that have gone bust which may not have necessarily done apart from cash flow problems
as they say the banks will only give you a umbrella when the sun is shineing
with low interest rates that give poor returns on any saving.s you may have its not going to be easy to budget for the next couple of years for many expats
when the crap hits the fan the uk Europe and united states look like safe heavens with varying degrees of safety nets in place but would you wont to live on the poverty line in the UK our in udon thani issan Thailand
there's a big difference between making cutbacks in Thailand and the western world
if you work in Thailand and Asia then even a poor paying job will provide nearly everything you need day to day
whatever this next year brings things can only get better but i think i will keep a tight hold on the purse strings until i see the interest rates rise a little
happy new year
