Leave the US. Go to Thailand or Malaysia for example and never work again while living comfortably. Thailand has retirement visa, and you have more than enough cash for it. Anywhere the dollar is strong you can 3-6x your net worth in purchasing power, simply by getting on a plane (once things open up soon).
You can live comfortably in SE Asia on $1000/mo, with access to good healthcare, gigabit Internet, a nice apartment, etc. I think it’s crazy to spend your money in the US.
- stephenr 6y agoI seem to recall the Thai retirement visa has a minimum age limit on it. Also, living in Thailand is only cheap if you live like the locals. Luxury cars are more expensive than the west due to high import taxes; “Average” locally built cars (eg a Toyota or Nissan) are pretty much the same price as in western countries. western luxury foods are more expensive due to scarcity and the need to be imported. Houses are only cheap if you accept local cheap standards. If you want a house built similar to western standards, it’s going to be expensive, and will likely still involve compromises. And there are some things money can’t solve. Living in Thailand is very different to living in a western country, and thinking that money can solve any hardships is naïveté at its finest.
