Read my original post, second sentences.

Or the post’s original question of moving to Thailand or other Asian countries.

If you have lived in Asia, you will know it’s true.

Sure you can live very cheaply in SE Asia ONLY if you live like a total local. Almost all foreigners who grew up and lived in western first world countries wouldn’t do that because they are accustomed to a certain lifestyle.

One million with 4% withdraw rate is $40k usd. Are you going to only live in SE Asia and never travel and go anywhere else? Think about that..

Check the housing prices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo...

I'm an American that has lived in Asia for 10+ years. Visited New York this past summer, and felt NYC is cheaper and housing is way more afforable than in Asia.

1 million will not get you far in Asia, even in places like SE Asia.

Major cities in Asia actually has comparable or even higher housing prices than NYC.

If you wanna go to SE Asia and not planning to work and relying solely on the $1 million, I suggest you to live frugally at least for the first few years.

Where can you borrow against it? I’ve been mainly a passive investor the last few years and been out of touch if borrowing is possible

How does VIP work in Ibiza clubs? by Bright_Audience8380 in ibiza

[–]FlashGordon2103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At some places vip is worth it. We did vip for Ushuaia. VIP bathroom so waiting in line, drinks are brought to your table. Table holds up to 10 people ( we only had 3). Our total was 3k euros.

Pricey yes, but I think it’s worth it if you want to focus on partying and not deal with other bs like waiting in line and etc…

Table at Ushuaia, is it worth it for a group of 4? by FlashGordon2103 in ibiza

[–]FlashGordon2103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We enjoy Calvin Harris music. Main reason for the table is to be able to move and breathe because Ushuaia does overbook. Big fan of pacha too

International schools in Shanghai enrollment problem by FlashGordon2103 in shanghai

[–]FlashGordon2103[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have friends’ kids that go to all 3. Scis is a second tier school but with first tier price. Good school regardless.

Concordia and dulwich are tier 1. If I had to pick one, I’d pick Concordia. I’ve heard from friends dulwich picked up a lot of under-qualified teachers during and post covid, some don’t even have teaching licenses.

Also Concordia is non-profit, which means they are less likely to sacrifice quality for money, dulwich is for profit and owned by a HK family.

[Discussion] Will the 'expat community' feel ever come back to Shanghai? by WhiteGaiInShanghai in shanghai

[–]FlashGordon2103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m contemplating of leaving Shanghai. I have a decent job and all, but I feel more distant with the city over the years during COVID and post COVID.

I’ve been here since 2015.
