I've got probably around 3 years to go unless of course I win Lotto 😛.
As MPIH said, $ are important and will determine the lifestyle you live. However routine and some form of hobby or recreational activity are paramount. I have watched many an expat lose it all financially, emotionally and mentally moving to LOS. One to the point he bought a bar, got robbed blindly by his Thai business partners and drank to a point where he needed a liver transplant. No thank you. Personally I would probably do some volunteer work probably on the boarder. That and photography which I excel at in comparison to Old Hippie and his appalling efforts 😊
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
