1 million USD by Won't last him a lifetime unless he checks out by 60 or so. 20 years ...30 tops if he lives modestly....but he doesn't have enough. He's asking for cheap as possible with no income plan. He's daydreaming

Is a 120k nest egg and 17800/year pension sufficient for retiring in Thailand as a UK citizen and working as a diving instructor?

everyone is different. I'm 52. Just moved here recently. I'm not buying until I know where I want to be long term. You are blessed that you do. Enjoy where you are and you are home

How can I move to Thailand with limited funds and job opportunities?

Pete **********

Wherever you are, the opportunity to do unskilled work is more plentiful and pays better. You can make it comfortably 1 month on 1k usd, 2 to 3 months max if you are living super cheap. But air fare will cost you 1k to get here. Maybe slightly less. If you are already depressed, it won't make you less depressed, I guarantee that
