Are there really people that move to Thailand having all their money in a high yield savings? I know it's recommended to have most money in a brokerage or real estate. But it's not liquid that way. I'm asking seriously because I'm preparing to move.

Have you had any bad luck as far as Charles Schwab closing your account if you live overseas? I've heard stories like that, also heard that it is necessary to open the international version of the Schwab account. I'm preparing for when I move to Thailand.
