Think you'll find that the FIREinThailand investment fire has been extinguished.  |

He sounded genuine to me.
But then again I am a gullible old sod. As you know.

O K panic over regarding FIREin Thailand. see below.  Poster is kosher. It was is Ludacris and he does know the financial industry,came aboard via Fletch If my memory is correct Now I know the name Ludacris you have Carte Blanche to post again. Now the two posts I removed are lost in cyber space. If you have copies feel free to repost them I suggest you make yourself known as Ludacris and the person who raised the issue concerning the two posts will I am sure be happy to see you posting again. I am sharp off of the mark at times as old plod habits die hard. Anyway I shall post on what remains of the thread that you will be posting again. |

Thanks siampolee. I'm back. I used to be Ludacris but I've re-branded myself as FIREinThailand since I found the FIRE lifestyle and made a lot of changes in my life. It stands for Financially Independent Retire Early and if you're curious you can check out the FAQ at reddit. www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/wiki/faqHere's my original post: It's possible there’s never been a better time in history to be alive. We're currently in a golden era of human existence measured by almost every social and economic indicator. The world is currently experiencing synchronized economic growth. The unemployment rate in many countries is the lowest in decades, and wages are finally starting to rise for the first time since the 2008 crash. The global economy is in a sweet spot of full employment, low inflation, and low-interest rates. Quality of life has never been better in other areas as well. Life expectancy has never been higher. Poverty has never been lower. People have never been healthier. Armed conflicts are at an all-time low. Education has never been more accessible. Thailand has been doing really well in the past few years. The Stock Exchange of Thailand is near all-time highs, politics have been calm, and there's a general feeling of optimism in the air. Have you changed your investments or increased your savings rate? Have you had to plan for a longer retirement? Have you decided to stay in Thailand longer? |

And I am also a bit disappointed that "fire in th" is short for "fire in Thailand"
"Fire in the hole" would be more exciting, in more ways than one.
Anyway, back to Ruble's favorite band Golden Earring.

I'm wondering today how the OP feels about his comments (above) in light of the fall in the SET and capital outflows? The BOT Guv emerged to tell us that outflows are not a problem, a sure sign that something is amiss.

I put all of my piggy bank into NormanStanleyFletch investment bonds.
I'll be rich I tell you!
I met the CEO on Soi Cowboy and he told me he once played pool with Robert Maxwell.

Mind you the end game the'pool was too big and deep for Robert Maxwell to win the final game. Wasn't there some joke at the time about Maxwell being <duck>ed by a buoy/boy from behind? |

Have you changed your investments or increased your savings rate? Have you had to plan for a longer retirement? Have you decided to stay in Thailand longer? Over last 17 odd years, made a point of trying to save at least 50% of my income I am planning on retiring in the next 3 to 5 years, it maybe partial retirement yet, not sure Jury is still out on whether i retire in Thailand or go home to retire, with the exception of property, i can retire cheaper at home, given exhange rate (i currently get paid in USD) and general cost of living Tongue in cheeky.. If my crypto investments play out...in addtion to the Aston DB-11, I intend buying a small Thai island and creating an underground lair as a base for world domination by Honey Badgers, (with lasers on their heads and Adamantium claws and teeth) |
