Great advice about retiring early. I retired at 52 and now 78 but needed heart bypass 1 year after retiring so have had 25years of good health since bypass. I believe I would have died on job many years ago if I hadn't pulled the plug when I did. Now enjoying delights of Thailand with great partner from Chiangmai. Best of health.

Thanks for the video Bill. Its good to see the sunshine. We will be in Chiang Mai next week visiting our daughter, can't wait. I agree with your comments on cancer, we battled breast cancer in 2014 and Lillian has just had the 10 years clear. Good luck to you and Lek and thanks for many hours of videos.

I also plan to retire at 55 from the Los Angeles CIty Fire Department 👩‍🚒 2 years to go 🙏🏻 To many of my LAFD friends are always working longer than they should chasing that golden carrot instead of retirement and enjoying life. Wishing you the best and health 🙏🏻

Before deciding on Chiang Mai at least spend a week or two and get to the know place. Chiang Mai or even Thailand does not fit for all. I am also LE retired from CA and know of several who retired who hated Thaialnd and absolutely hated Chiang Mai. "People think differently from where I come from". Time is viewed differently. "Sabai Sabai" can be a positive and at times be a negative.

A good total recovery Sir Bill. I am an employee in Belgium and had no chance to stop at 55. I am nearly 57 now and I must work til 65. My father had also the luck to stop at 55 cause they did a reorganisation at his work. The government rolls it out that everyone must work til 67. But no politician in the parlements will work til 67. It's unfair. Have a good healing week. Luc aka Jason Basson

Yes! That's why I retired at 55 and moved to Chiang Mai. Thanks for the videos you provided for us to watch. Because they helped me to make my decision while I was still in California. I knew that I wanted to retire in Thailand but didn't know where. You helped me with that. 🙏

Bill what symptoms did you have with the bladder that required further testing to determine the results, also did you smoke etc? Where i worked we were exposed to Pitch and Carbon fumes/dust which cause bladder cancer. A few have had BC some made some didn't., We were screened for years then they stopped citing only a small percentage were getting BC, more like cost cutting!

@UTCM Ай бұрын

@SteveSmith-zz4ih My first symtom was frequent trips to the bathroom which were atributed to age . Second was blood in urine which was diagnoised the next day as cancer and treatment started 3 days later . I stopped smoking 10 years ago , but chewed tobacco , also drank a lot of diet coke . Now its water coffee and gatoraide only .

Ty for being so honest, i medically retired in UK age 51 (receive + £1200 monthly) Have type 1 diabetes also some blood issues but most times i perfectly fine, hence i trying to say i worried about Health care there,, then again living here it just seems like one day is the same as the other, like live but not enjoying, think i should just hop on a plane and go.

A lot of people keep working because they would have nothing to do if they didn't. They don't want to travel, or go hiking or play music or take classes. They would end up watching tv or drinking at the local bar.

Thanks for the video & sharing, if I am going to retire and move in Thailand which in my early 50's now, I need to have at least $3K in monthly pension & at least $100K extra savings for emergency, going out only 3x a week with a regular Thai lady with no LDs & no barfines. That won't happen until late 2025 or early 2026.
