When I lived in thailand I was drawing 82,000 baht a month and some how managed to spend it all!
Terrific (sic), coz knowing you as I do mate, that didnt include any fleshy extras. I do know that you spent more than most on accommodation though.Quote:

She gives me her credit card number and I run it through our system or she gives cash to my friends when they pop over.
Lets narrow da money arugment. Married or not?

I'm the rare commodity on this board...a free-lance teacher
I make a little over 100k per month with a combo of uni teaching (@ 1000B/hr)
and corporate work (@ 1200 B/hr)
When I first came to LOS I spent every satang every month.
After a while I learnt to save and have been able to pay 50% deposit on two condos here in Thonburi, plus I've just bought my second new car.
I think I have a pretty good life here. Normally go out two nights a week.
Sometimes people give the impression that it's not possible to save without staying home and living in a doss-hole.
Just want to show the other side to this story
KM mend already told me years ago that you were in your late sixties, i'm sure that kiwi old age pension helps :) then again you said you was in your 40s, and mend does drink a lot,hmmm who to believe :)
Yes, I'm married as well.
My wife and I save atleast 40K a month.
Mend's a good mate but he does take the piss at times.Quote:

Also, NZ is not as generous as old blighty when it comes to pensions
They only pay for 6 months if you are overseas..every six mths you have to show ur face at the local office so they know you are you and that ur still alive so u don't see many kiwis living the retired live in pattaya
Your right CS we spent 30,000 a month on rent and this money also covered trips back to the wifes village, a trip to Hong Kong, chaing mai, hua hin etc etc as well.Quote:

^they do if they are in sales or a PA to the farang manager.
You are making the assumption she is on the floor.
With commission (and good English) some of the girls I know make circa. 70k a month
