8 CHEAP Places To Retire in Asia (on Social Security)

Thanks, Kristin. Always so informative, interesting and expertly presented.

for the misanthropes amongst us, what are some good options? though i love swimming, i have long abhorred coastal regions in the summer, so much filth.. so i only go swimming in cold seasons, even in rain and snow LOL. in summer I retreat to mountains, but one needs to go to fairly cold and risky places to be alone… and even there hominid-made machines like airplanes cause noise and disturbance. i wonder how it is to live on a small yacht, just drifting around in international waters, only occasionally picking up supplies in different ports/countries?

Your not retiring in Singapore on Social Security d/t Housing Costs .

Regarding "Retirees;" Asia / SE Asia has the most "Toxic" Air Quality on the planet .. If your "into your Health" and esp if you have Asthma or COPD, Stay Away, during Winter Months (Burning Season).. Other Prob is Global Warming .. SE Asian Countries are Ground zero, have seen Unheard of, Insane, Rcd Break Temps, past few yrs, and the Typhoons, Floods (and droughts) are getting Radically worse ..Beware of Diet; the Oils, Salt & Sugar, in the St / Rest Foods will shorten your life bigtime ..

Dear Lady i've seen several of your videos, you are quite preachy & id' like to remind you one small thing : as a Digital Nomad & your bizness with your youtube channel you're already a very privileged person. Everybody hasn't got the possibility to do so. So please remember that. Thank you.

Please please please

We are pleading on bended knees

Don't come to s e Asia we are full already and there are not enough women to go around

Go to Latin America

Thank you thank you thank you

I think owning your own home anywhere… is going to be cheaper…
than renting something in a foreign country.

Asian countries are becoming popular for many retirees these days. Only issue is the climate being humid and hot except in winter in South and South east Asia.Though winter is mild in majority of Asian countries, it's the best time to visit. But Central and East Asian countries climatic conditions are different.

Hmm – have you been to any of these destinations or just desk based research 😮

Great video. I retired in Thailand. I am happy here. My living expenses in Thailand are very low.

1. Housing – Condo that is a five-minute drive to the beach, the rent is $207 + elec & water $40 = $247/month, (I have a video of the Condo)

2. Food – I eat out all the time – $360 (shrimp fried rice with vegetables and an egg = $2.05)

3. Vehicle – 2022 Honda ADV 150 rental – $160

4. Debts – I do not pay others for money I do not have.

5. Care – Hair cut -$3, other stuff – $20

6. Insurance – Health $145 (I am over 60) $250,000 policy

7. No pets

8. $25 – googel phone

9. Gas – I fill up about once every 3-4 weeks Scooter $20

10. Sevices – $20

Total = $1,000, I live in Pattaya Thailand

I did not include entertainment. You live next to the beach; you can get a beer in a bar on the beach for $2.50.

PS

I paid $2,600 for my Custom Lamborgini Orange Honda ADV 150, so I do not have a scooter Payment.

You can buy a condo like mine for $30,000.

If you take the condo and scooter price out it is Total = $593

The Thai people are great (land of smiles). Crime is very low; so low I do not worry about it. I left my phone on my motorbike for four hours. When I came back it was still there (I have done this twice so far).

nothing is better than chengdu and Dali if you can get longer visa
