Good job on retirement
Comment from : Pahanin

Thanks so much for reinforcing what I am already planning for, and for what I already believebrbrWe become worse every year, exponentially, so why sit at 70 with a pot of gold, when you can retire early and live a genuinely more meaningful life with less
Comment from : sinetwo

I first visited Thailand aged 24 in 1986 About 70-80 baht to the poundbrAnd I still enjoy my visits there brBut since the advent of the internet, the dating scene, the prices, the attitudes and beauty of the working girls is a shadow of its former self (and lets be honest, the girls are what the vast majority of the single males go there for) We don't go there for the culture and foodbrOther things like infrastructure and communications have definitely improved hugely over there since the 80/90s, but the dating scene is a fraction of those glorious days, back in the 1980/90s

I don’t even know how I came across your channel, but this video was playing in the background and got my attention because our situation and story is so similar I joined the military at 17yrs old and did 21 years of active service After that I worked for the state for 5 yrs and local city I live in for 4years I decided to retire and call it quits with working at 47 Just like you I had a divorce in my early 40’s I did nothing perfect & made a crap load of mistakes along the way personal and financial I wouldn’t give up this new chapter in my life for nothing! I remind myself that you can’t put a price tag on a peace of mind Plus I wanted to do things while I was still young, since tomorrow isn’t promised to no one… Awesome video my friend

Wise advice Too many people are blinded by money and want to keep chasing it to get more and more, but it won't make them feel any happier
Comment from : T F Dewey

Totally agree I would love to retire at 50 I'm 53 but plan to at 65 for sure I agree I rather live in a small bungalow in Thailand than live in a flash house working till I die I know people that are still at my work in there late 70s even one person 83 I love Thailand and first went to koh samui over 32 years ago and knew a couple of girls who lived in a tiny room similar to what you were talking about they were so humble and happy thank you for video Les

Hm, the message seems to be, "older people just might know what they're talking about, pay attention" Of course, I never believed that as a kid

Joy comes from within
Comment from : metalstamping

I think to have a good life in Thailand you need around 100,000 Baht ($2,700) per month, which would mean that someone would need to have approximately $1 million invested if living by the 3 rule
Comment from : Philip C

and hopefully you will get your state pension in 5 years too Good for you and good luck to you
Comment from : R S

Hi Les, enjoy your honesty and bare bones approach Not many are as upfront as you are regarding your personal situation I can see in your comments the positive affect that you are having on others Never underestimate how you are helping others to put there life in perspective, question their being and changing their outlook Thanks for your presentations

Happy birthday

Retired I think at 55 In Phuket since last week Let's see how it goes Workaholic trying to relax and enjoy life
Comment from : A G

I already knew your background Les your one of the reasons why I now live in Thailand I sold everything went through a devorce I'm 53 I'm not retired because I actually want to do something while I'm here not sure yet as I don't feel comfortable living off my investments they just about cover my modest lifestyle I've managed to get a decent 3 bed house here in hua Hin for 9000b a month that's an amazing price and it's going to help me out while I find something I can invest in with the help of my girlfriend, keep up the good work my man all the best for now 😁👍🏼💙

Thank you for your great video and giving people something to think about
Comment from : Market Squeezer

Love this message So many people, groups and institutions play the fear game Western society firsts ropes you into slavery via debt vehicles Cars, houses, credit cards IF you avoid those traps and live well within your means and think outside that box, you will have a much better and happier life As you say Do the things now or as soon as you can because at some point you will not be able to Studies into older people in homes or near the end of life show 1 big common theme among the majority Most have regrets about the things they DID NOT DO, not what they did I like to keep Wayne Dyers' message in my mind every day and act on it "don't die with your music still in you"
Comment from : Bob

Great explanation of a simple happy life Good you have found joy in your life I love Thailand and been many times met many Thai people and not one have moaned about their life and they have very little too The saying is the less you have the happier you are
Comment from : Steve McDougal

Les retired at 55yrs having served her majesty and like you planned my retirement many years before retiringbrHaving visited Thailand since 1991 I now live here on my pension living a better and safer life than I could in UK brThanks for another great information vlog
Comment from : adispoon

Totally agree with you Unfortunately, I think not many people these days will get the opportunity to retire at that age as most won't have a good enough pension plan For anyone that does though I'd recommend them to grasp the opportunity unless they really absolutely love their job
Comment from : Eoin

Every time I watch one of your vlogsIt makes me think ( Just Do It Man !)👍
Comment from : Kevin Robinson

Similar to you Les I joined the Ambulance Service in the UK in 1985 I got a chance to come and work as a Paramedic permanently in Australia back in 2007 Made the move no regrets Been retired now for 2 years now living the dream here Good luck to you in your retirement
Comment from : Stendec Mayday

Good luck mate
Comment from : Kevin C

Many countries are in trouble with high housing prices bringing in immigration that's rising the price is so high it's pushing the medium class and the poor on the streets and government do not care you did the right thing Les so many people are in big trouble I wish I could make that move I have a twin brother herewe are very close I can come for 3 months but I wish I could come longer to your country you're doing the right thing by far A lot of people moving out of California and moving to Mexico for a better life can you imagine that The corruption in North America is rampant at the topit's going to get real bad people on the hamster wheel can't get offenjoy my friend
Comment from : Doug 1959

My issue is when I was living in Thailand alone, it can get lonely & boring, hard part was to find good friends & create hobbies
Comment from : ok billy

I’m 52 thinking of retiring, the only concern is if I run out of funds when I move to Thailand?
Comment from : ok billy

Wise words LesYou're videos are becoming a lot more professional every timeAnother valuable information video
Comment from : TingTong John

I got the offer to take my pension with redundancy at 51 and took it, I’m 52 now I now have an income for life and another job I really want to stop but with all the uncertainty I’m procrastinating Travelled to Thailand many times as my father lived there for 25 years, beautiful place and love the people, you are very lucky But you worked hard to be that lucky as well
Comment from : Nigel Gordon

Great video Les I retired from the met police at 60 But I had a great jobI've been retired for 3 years and, after covid, enjoying my travels again
Comment from : Graham Foster

I feel sorry for this guy i realised money isnt worth chasing at 27, retirement is just FREEDOM and FREEDOM is a simple choice to live simply! forget working for 50 years to pay for a house you may live to retire for 10 years in, with a crippled body sod that

Comment from : Daniel Tyler

Comment from : Andrew Robinson

Cheers Les, thanks for your story brAs a younger guy, this certainly encourages me to work hard now so I can retire earlier and enjoy my "older years"
Comment from : Scott G

Hi les which district do you live in within rayong as I'm seriously thinking of coming there to live
Comment from : RKR Allthings

Hi, Les enjoyed your video I had two friends who I grew up with who both became firefighters and like you, they joined at 19 and they both retired at fifty They went on to become black taxi drivers which require a lot of knowledge and training Very few pass the tests to get their licence I retired at 55 and I don't need to work I was getting ready to retire Thailand and the scamdemic came upon us I will not travel until all restrictions are lifted and one can travel freely I hope one day soon I will be able to retire there Take care GOD Bless you and yours M
Comment from : pokeaman1

Thank you so much I really enjoyed that video ,I have been married to a Thai for 36 years ,I got married at 21 in bangkok,we are still married,I plan on going to bangkok in September for six months to give it a trythe thing I really got from your video was the bit about could you do all the traveling about when you get to 65,I have been very lucky to have traveled to 151 countrys and territories so far,in the last month I have been to Andorra 🇦🇩 Bosnia 🇧🇦 Slovenia 🇸🇮 all new countrys,I really only get a buzz when I am going to a new country,but lately at 57 and we’ll over weight I am finding it very tiring,we already have a condo in bangkok thank you again
Comment from : Luds Tours

Why I retired at 50because I couldn't retire at 30 :)
Comment from : rudolf desadeleer

Hello Les, agree totally with you, great positive advice, glass half full attitude will take people along way to finding happinessbrIt's important to take that first step as daunting as it may be, in order to achieve one's dreams, otherwise we may run out of time
Comment from : Moss Crowley

and this my friend was EXACTLY how I felt in 2012 when I traveled to Pattaya for the first time at age 33 and it's why I accepted a voluntary redundancy package at age 41 15 years ago, it's why I took my pension early which is a feature of the plan I am in and it's why I'm about to board a plane to Thailand in August to stay in Thailand at the age of 43! I too was very lucky at age 20 to get into a government employer and I was one of the last in to a defined benefit pension scheme My pension is enough for me to live quite well in most countries of the world I'm also a relatively early Bitcoiner so I have capital as well as the income I'm most interested in Thailand and The Philippines Just 1 more month to go and i'll be in Thailand on an STV for 3 months I'll repeat that process again and again til i'm 50 and can get a retirement visa

Comment from : Keith Outdoors

I've only just got dressed at 0955 in the UK At 57 I can sit on an exercise bike and churn out a load of power for half an hour, or chin the bar nine times with 20kg hanging off me, I just can't get up the next morning!
