Retirement

[seekingasylum]

I'm retired and living here:

I notice that you are now retired. Did you work for a Thai company or a foreign company?

Do you receive a pension and health care benefits now that you have retired?

I know of quite a few retired Farangs who do not receive any benefits upon retirement. Those that have received benefits after retirement have received it as a lump sum based on years of service rather than regular monthly payments.

Anyone else here is also welcome to answer my query.

I ask a perfectly reasonable question of a member yet it is answered in a dismissive, aggressive and insulting manner.

Perhaps those that have issues with this member are more than justified in their antipathy, hostility and aversion to his mutterings and that their many criticisms of him, his lifestyle, his associates and his apparent shortcomings are indeed based more on fact than on supposition.

You came onto this forum and started throwing puerile abuse and now you're whining.

Are you schizophrenic?

Cry more.

FFS, the nutter is still at it

Yeah he's such a victim. Should pay a lawyer to assist him.

...it's spending its 'retirement' hypervigilantly raging again, isn't it.

...all day, every day just raging!

It's sad to see the decline exhibited in some posters after living too long in Thailand, often influenced in their deterioration by the chickenheads they co-habit with.

I understand from these threads that Ergen. co-habits with his landlady, an older short sighted woman and ex-employee of KFC, or was it Burger King, either way it explains a lot of his anger, insecurity, the need to assume a bullying persona and his increasingly repetitive retorts.

One wonders if, in the steamy backwaters of the shithole that is Thailand, amongst all the fortune tellers, dream interpreters orange robed charlatans and amulet peddlers, there are any counselling services available for foreigners with the mental health afflictions so common amongst long stayers with too much time on their hands but lacking the intelligence to fill that time productively.

My heart bleeds for you :so-called:

Retirement used to be an attainable goal for a middle class person. Work , save your money , buy a rental house , put together a bond and stock portfolio that has some interest and divided yield. Add a bit of good luck and you are set.

****ing hell. It's just hopeless. And I'd rather die than work for another 20 years. Id rather go for the permanent retirement.

I asked an old dude at work who is close to retirement about this and he said in the old days the man could go to work, the wife stay at home as a housewife and the household could pay off the mortgage & get ahead on the 1 income. No longer the case for the average family

All you have to do Blue is wait for the inheritance to come through then you will be set for your life of leisure. If your parents live into their 90's it could be a long wait though. Ideally you want to be a single child so you get the lot haha

When I had 7 months off work in 2019 /2020 to travel it showed I would not be ready for retirement, so some people are more suited to it than others at a younger age.

The only way to retire is to do a life sentence in the govt sector and get one of these fat inflation adjusted pensions.

Untrue.
The keys are to:

Not be a breeder. Trees, insects, bacteria, they can all reproduce. Only humans can choose not to, so why throw away that amazing gift? Donate to sperm banks when young to get paid for sowing your seed.

Work smart not hard. Take jobs which have inherent additional opportunities, like being able to set up your own business from what you learn from them. Then sell the business for £xxx,xxx

Make hay when the sun shines. Be sure to have at least double coming in as is going out during your working periods

Write. I'm still earning from stuff I wrote in the noughties. I'm slowly working on something new which should be a massive seller when self-published next year. It's only a hobby though and I'm not financially reliant on it.

Sue people and know how to win. Don't be a sad wanker that vexatiously threatens to sue people in order to win a forum shitfest. Sue wealthy targets that you can beat, preferably via a long drawn out battle. In the late 90s I won enough to put down a deposit on a house and travel for 2 years, in 2019 I won six £ figures after an almost three year battle, and my third attempt is looking likely to be the biggest payout yet.

I forgot an important one

Marry well - avoid anything that views you as a route to their own early retirement and a free house.

Yes if the first thing she says when you pick her up from the airport is "I'm here for the green card, your money & the f*cking house" then you may have made a bad choice hahaha

If you won 2 million dollars tomorrow, it would be difficult to say the very least, to deploy those 2 million dollars to get income generation right away

You're not thinking rationally.

If you've got 2 million dollars in your bank account in your 50s for example, why do you need to "generate income"? You've got a large amount of capital, enough to support a comfortable level of spending for several decades, even with inflation, without depleting it.

To bring another being into the world to suffer for 90 years for no reason is just cruel.

Another thing that blows my mind is how many men do it again. WTF are these people thinking

Life isn't suffering.

These men do it because they're controlled by their testes and their primitive need to breed. It's a force that controls all living things, and very few can rise above it.

These men think it makes them a genetic winner, to have passed on their genes, but all it demonstrates is that they have no control over their genetic programming. I doubt an apple tree if it could think enjoys producing apples ever year any more than rAntiny enjoys being a life sentence breadwinner at a mesh factory.
