Hi Neil and Sarah hope you enjoy Bangkok its a fascinating city with so many options of countries surrounding plus in - country travel, if you get a chance Hua Hin is a gorgeous spot south of Bangkok you can get there by train....Hope you get some good earned rest after the long haul to get there....I have a question given you are making your money work for you while you travel what amount that you have budgeted each year comes from your you tube channel? I had never though of doing something like this however even though I have been given the option to take my job with me when I move to Mexico I am not actually sure I want too, or neither do I have to however, would like a wee income maker aside from investments..

My question is " would you go stir crazy or get bored without having the KZbin channel to work on every day ". I begin my year long slow travel journey next February in Thailand actually. I have debated on the idea of a KZbin channel but it seems that " editing videos " is literally torture. Any truth to that? Does KZbin give you a sense of purpose? Did you need a sense of purpose? Is it good that it is interconnected with your travel as opposed to an online job teaching English as a second language or being a copywriter etc ?

The secret is to put money away every paycheck. He says 15% but I think you check out the budget for some extra. Put it into an SP index fund. Do not touch it. Just let it grow. If you are spending 10 hours a week worrying about it now,use that time for a hustle and tuck that away. Trying to work the market is a mugs game. It can be done by a few people but you don’t d sound like one. 10 years from now your index fund in your Roth IRA will be doing great. Or 401k.

Even if you're not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April last year due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I've made over $250k since then

I totally agree... I sold my home and built a home in Ghana, West Africa and couldn't be happier!.. Traveling abroad from the continent of Africa is much cheaper than traveling from the US..and with my home base being in West Africa, I can fly back to the States much or as often as I choose. So technically I have 2 homes, a shared home in the US and my base home in Africa!

With Roth IRA, the money you are contributing has already been taxed. At any time for any reason, you can withdraw your contributions tax-free and penalty-free. Additionally, any earnings on investments can also be withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free, Not sure how much to contribute, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $338k stock portfolio.

Consider buying stocks when the economy is not doing well, like during a recession. It could be a chance to buy them at a lower price and sell later when prices go up. Just keep in mind, this isn't financial advice, but sometimes it's better than keeping a lot of cash.

Can totally relate to the haircut in Turkey - sent hubby off for a trim, he came back about 4hrs later like a new man. They cut and coloured his hair, burnt off the fuzzy ear hair and waxed his nasal hair (who knew there was so much up there, god only knows how that conversation came about) but he just kept smiling and nodding as they progressively kept doing more. In addition to the haircut he had a shave with a blade and a manicure. The man looked like David Beckham when he came back, that was 8yrs ago and I think its about time he went for another makeover lol ...

Pro tip: If you need to have a credit card (or other sensitive material) mailed to you in a foreign country, have it sent to the local DHL or Mail Boxes Etc. office marked "hold for customer pickup" with your name and phone number. The office will call you when it arrives and you will need to show your passport and tracking number (provided by the sender) to obtain your mail. I've had this done with bank cards, tax forms, real estate documents and remote voting ballots many times with no problems!

@@2GoRoam Be careful, some couriers do not deliver to PO Boxes and the like. I bought a P.O. Box when I first moved to Thailand because of the hit & miss of having things delivered to a Thai home address that was in English. I had some notarized documents shipped over by my Brother and gave him the English version of the address. Two weeks later my Brother called as the package was returned as undeliverable. So I bought the P.O. Box in the main post office in Chiang Mai and gave him that address since it was much easier to understand in English ... when he went to the post office to mail it they told him they can not courier packages to a P.O. Box (I think they can deliver via regular mail which can take a month or more.) So I sent him a photo of the Thai address written in Thai and asked him to glue it to the package ... that arrived in about a week. Thailand Internet: You're in heaven for Internet while your staying in Thailand. Cheap, very fast, and reliable (living outside of Chiang Mai, which is way up North and in the jungle mountains more or less, and I pay about 1600 Baht ($46USD) for 1GB/500Mb home fiber Internet, Television service over fiber, and an unlimited cellphone service with unlimited data rated for 6Mbs, but it's 5G and I easily get 20Mbs and sometimes up to 60Mbs ... I really don't need that level so if I wanted to use a 200Mbs home service and cellphone service rated at 2bs I could probably have that and the Television service for less than $20 USD. 57% cost difference ... I'm find that hard to believe, although my comparison is between Toronto, Canada and Chiang Mai Thailand. * Rent went from $2000 cad per month for a small 2 bedroom apartment to about $375 cad per month (my Thai wife already had two homes, one big one in the mountains outside the city, about 1 hour drive, and a smaller one in the city, she sold the big one and build a bigger house, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, about a 15 minute drive to downtown Chiang Mai. *Food for 2 went from $800 /mth to $400/mth (and this is eating out most days in Thailand, vs grocery shopping every weekend and only eatingout once a week when we went grocery shopping.) * gas costs about the same but Thialand is not spread as much as cities in Canada, so usually my cost is about 1/2, so instead of $60 per fillup every 2 weeks, it's about $30 per fill up every 2 weeks. * Internet is about 1/2 the price for 5 times the speed (plus I get cell phone and TV included which saves about $100/mth and I get better service included.) ... * Utilities are cheap I believe but it's hard to tell as water, electricity and property tax are all part of the rent where here I have to pay for water (~$5/mth) electricity (averages about $60/mth and I use AC when I feel like it, which is a lot for at least 6 months of the year) garbage 20 baht / month (or around $0.75 cad) and property taxes are $0 (any property under 1 rai (about 1/2 an acre) has not property taxes (my wife has about 10 rais around the province and she paid some redlicious tax of maybe $15 for the year, which to be fair was about 1/2 the usual cost because of a Covid discount.) So my monthly expenses went from probably $3,100 cad (just basic rent, utilities, food & transportation) to about $890 (if I were still renting the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house I rented when I first moved here!) Since we bought a new home (about $70K cad all in after furniture and upgrades like solar yard lights, higher fencing, security cameras, sheds, landscaping) and car outright with no loans, our actual expenses are closer to $500 cad/mth ... the only thing missing right now is health insurance (have to look into that soon, but for the most part, besides emergencies, health care out of pocket is pretty cheap here ... Canada it used to be 'free', so I'm guessing that's going to cost another $300 to $400 per month when I decide to get it ... so that will bring it back to around the $800 to $900 mark again. That means I am paying about 30% of what I paid in Canada ... If I stayed in Canada I could live like a hermit in a small bachelors apartment and seldom if ever going out, staying home and getting all my entertainment from whatever Interent I could afford ... in Thialand I have a home, lots of money left over after my bills are paid, and can afford to go on a week or so vacation pretty much anywhere in South East Asia every month! It's not for everyone (language, culture, weather, etc) and there are requirements you need to meet to get the proper long term visa, but it's not too onerous for most western Boomers who have worked all their lives and have at least a little bit of savings (if you qualify for the full Canada Pension and OAS, and can scrap up 800,000 Baht to hold in a Thai bank account (~$30,000 cad or you can forgo the 800,000 baht if you can show you have a pension with which you can transfer $2400 cad into Thailand every month) and can control your drinking and womanizing, you are pretty much all set to live a comfortable life (or in my case, since I am already married to a Thai national, 400,000 baht in a Thai bank, or a pension income of 40,000 baht ($1500 cad) per month)

Then Covid hit, and it was 540 days before I had my first trip back. But one has to consider when they do this, are you living your life for those birthdays, graduations and holidays or are you living it for yourself to what you want to enjoy. The one thing that keeps my connection with my family is Facebook. They post about all their parties, graduations and all that other stuff that's happening in their lives, I can share in it like I'm there, and I post things of my journeys so they can share in it also.

During pandemic I became available by phone and I felt captive. Also I realized some relationships, family or otherwise were inauthentic and just placeholders or habits.

I recently bought a home in Mexico and will be moving there within the next year. I have a unique work schedule where I work 28 days in a row with 14 days off and the plan is to commute to Mexico for the next few years until I retire full time. Working in Canada and commuting to Mexico, for now, will enable me to live within my means and still be able to travel when I retire full time. Perhaps, someday, we will be in the same part of the world. If so, the first round is on me. Happy travels.

I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

Thank you very much for the video both I retired in 2019 at 55 my wife in 2020 and we bought a static caravan on a site. We've rented out our wholly owned home which covers the caravan's bills and leaves some over for spending money. This, together with our savings, has allowed us to travel regularly since, giving the freedom of staying in places for long periods, even during the pandemic when allowed! Our aim, like you, is to travel as much as possible in the next 10 years. As you say, while we're hopefully fit and healthy enough to. Enjoy!

I used to own a backpackers hostel. Being broke and unable to buy a house, when the prices have all risen is no fun at the end of travelling. I had one customer, who had all his money with Bernie Madoff. He would have got in lots of travelling, before the Ponzi scheme collapsed and Madoff was jailed. I stayed in contact with many of my guests over a very long period. The end outcomes were often not ideal.

I agree. Who could have imagined what the Covid pandemic and other factors did to the USA (and other countries') housing markets. If selling, especially at a later time in life, there is no guarantee that you will be able to buy again in your home country should you decide to do so. Much better to rent out the place, have income, have a prop management company handle things. It's worth the money.

@@hmr28 Agreed. After I saw the Biden government basically say FU to the small investors who own a rental or two as their retirement plan, I made adjustments. Sold all but two at the top of the market, invested out of the country the cash and rent two homes now to family members that are solid that in the past have made loans to and they paid. I rent for about 25% less than market but my way of helping two young families out. I was lucky during Covid as I had higher end clients that paid their rent and did not go dirtbag on me. But again I have been very fair and with them and made sure they rented homes from me that I would live in. Win-Lucky-Win.

So establishing a new base in my original homeland the UK will solve that problem but I’m not going to abandon the states in the long term forever. It’s still a great place to start a business.

Great well run experience. If u havent been before-Be careful of the scams in Bangkok- only take a taxi that turns on the metre, dont let anyone "help" you if u seem lost(even if they say they are tourist police), dont get a taxi from the shopping malls-even the "designated official" areas. Try all of the street food that is cooked. Do not do the fish pedicures. Do get the concierge to arrange a trusted tuk tuk esp with the drivers in chiang mai are known to be the worst in Thailand.

My family are retired now for 15 years to live in Baja Sur, Mexico, East Cape, Sea of Cortez. What an amazing positive move. Our pension goes amazingly farther than the USA. We live in a beautiful casa / home with taxes at less $100 USD per year. That is like a bonus every year given what we used to pay for property tax! Health care for 3 - 100% - about $1,200 USD per year. In the USA, I pay that in 90 days! Our health care includes prescription drugs. The best thing - it is safe, love the people, great weather and the cuisine. Love the outdoors, etc. Everyone has to figure it out for themselves. Go live somewhere you think might be right for two or three months, maybe 6 months, or a year. Then when you think it is right - make the move. WIFI - about 4G level here. Continues to get better - but have no complaints. Can watch any movie streaming and connect that to our SMART to TV.

Hey Bob! Thanks for getting in touch, Does your google voice also enable you to receive text messages for Two Factor Authentication? Sadly being from the UK, Google voice isn't an option for us, but thanks for sharing for our US viewers. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

@@2GoRoam Yes it does work for two-factor authentication. I've only had issues with trying to use it for the Initial setup to go into my IRS account (I just switched to my email account for verification) Instarem money exchange and a couple others won't recognize my phone number, as they want a carrier subscription number to verify, I guess. No issues with setting up accounts with WorldRemit, Remitly money exchange (the two I use most) and others. I'm curious when you say you don't have it available for you in the UK. Can't you not just create a new Google account that's out of the UK that has Google Voice available. I ran into geoblocks trying to download apps when in Mexico that stated they weren't available in my country. Instead of changing my country in my current Google account to Mexico, which they also required a mexico-based credit card to verify which I didn't have, plus you can't change it back for one year, I found a way around it by just creating a new Google email in Mexico, and I switch to that when I have to download an app that is only available in Mexico. Once the app is downloaded, it doesn't matter which Google account you are logged into, the apps still work.

@@2GoRoam I forgot to subscribe when I was watching this video so I just did now. I'm interested in your travels because I would like to do something similar, as I was thinking before COVID-19 hit, and now the Russia war with Ukraine☹️, of getting a 90 day apartment "home base" in Riga, Latvia because of the low cost there, and then taking multi-day trips to different areas across Europe by flight or even rail. Then when my Szechuan Visa was up, head over to England and visit some of the other countries that's not a part of the Szechuan States, before making the flight back to New York or elsewhere I decided to go.

How about buying flights? Any tips on saving on that? I’m 74 years old, and single. It took this long for me to realize traveling. Thankfully I’m in good health👏🙏🌸

Great video! Can't wait to see Bangkok! Thailand is on my wish-list too. I thought about you guys this morning because I saw an article about how inflation is seeping into the Air BNB market and costs have gone up 37% over the last year or so. Have you found that to be the case? The article may have just pertained to the States . . .

Hey Mel! Thank you so much as ever. Thailand is a joy for all senses! Yes we are hearing the same about Airbnb costs and I think that just plays more and more into the need to travel using the benefit of low cost locations. We will be talking about our accommodation costs in Thailand while we are here. Best regards, Neil & Sarah

You two look great with no sleep. Another clever video! Way to go. How long do you plan to travel in Asia? Any plans to explore Africa? I noticed you didn't list traveling out of a suitcase as a pitfall. Would consider it as a pro or con? On one had you have simplified your life to live out of one suitcase. The other side is you have to carry all you have. I imagine now you could get by with a carry-on thinking how hot and humid it will be. Looking forward to next week. Thanks for the informative, relevant, and entertaining content.

Hey Kimberly, Thank you so much for taking the time to drop us a comment! I just typed the longest reply ever to this comment and KZbin didn't save it.... ARGH!!!!!! Suitcases are certainly a PRO for us, just the right size and if I didn't have to carry so much tech which is heavy, I would switch to just a 40l backpack personally (although Sarah likes having a case option). For us now it is more about making marginal improvements in what we carry and they seem to give us the biggest benefit. I have struggled finding a laptop bag for carry on that is actually working for me, I have tried many. I have picked up something inexpensive here in Bangkok and hey presto! I think I have cracked it... so very happy with that. Also, I worked in South Africa for some time so would love to explore further, Africa is high on our list! Best regards, Neil & Sarah

This is a good idea if you consider it from the point of your budget and fulfilling your desire to travel. How long can you do it depends on how long can you afford it and how far have you gone down your list. It is a lifestyle and you are giving up your familiar social circle, family and community. You have to be in a mind set of appreciating a new environment rather often and that includes language, food, customs, etc. My concern is exhaustion setting in before you have finished your "bucket list" and there is no down time to let experiences settle down. You are in your 50s, so good luck and enjoy it while you are young.
