There are some that their never ending quest for money will be the death of them and there are some that have set goals, so how much money are you looking for?
I remember discussing this with a thai friend about 16 years ago, 1 million baht would have kept him happy, ok that was a long time ago and now isn't realistic, but at that time if he had 1,000,000baht he would have retired, and probably drunk himself to death, so what is a realistic figure?
What I have right now ;) but ask me again in 5 years time and I will more then likely answer the same. :)
I could of retired a long time ago and lived quite comfortably but having children at a relatively late age has put paid to that.
Having said that they keep me feeling young and are well worth the effort. :)
Enough to keep her happy.
Not a lot really.
Kids put the kibosh on savings, taking into account the schooling and uni costs and it puts years on top the retirement plan.
I need a lot more now than I did, cant put a figure on it yet coz it keeps changing
You're right. That's why we won't go there.Quote:

"Fair point", I said.
She then added the comment..........
" Dogs don't talk."
Does it for me. :)
Dogs dont answer back more like mate :)
Was quite happy with what Mrs Betty Windsor sent every month + a couple of meager company pensions - boosted lately with re-entering the insurance world and that covers rent and utility bills .
Suits me !!
Since we're wishing here, how about 40,000,000 baht on account and where do I sign up???
F8ck $$$$$$ money.
I have got what I need to be happy money wise, so good health for 20 odd years more would see me dancing for joy :)
Good luck and health Larv, I'm sure another 20 is no problem mate
100 Million would see me sweet. Got a fair old way to go....
2 million pounds please.
Doesn't sound bad, that'll do me too!:)Quote:

What I've ended up with is enough for my lifestyle, but nowhere near enough for my lifestyle as it used to be.
I'm not yet 50, and could quite easily go back to work if I wanted, but really not bothered. So 'how much is enough' is just a function of where you live and how you spend it. I'm glad I got the 'high rolling' thing done and dusted early, because it means I know how ultimately shallow it is, and don't miss it. A basically simple life with the occasional splurge is fine for me.
When i was really really young, it was 5 bths I wished for, which at that time is BIG money for me. I regretted afterward.
So now....the more is the better!
Thinking how to spend it...is better than thinking how to make it:)
Why the regret? Because you didn't wish for more? :-)Quote:

Ouch, what a sad and cautionary tale MC. Cruel!
I get nothing for my birthday, so you do better than I.
I just want enough so the wife and I can get away from the US and try our luck in Thailand. Couple million Baht should be good to start. I dont want to be rich.
