Let's imagine you had some assets (maybe a house, savings, shares etc) which were capable of generating an income.
How much income from investment assets would be enough for you to give it all up and come to live in LOS? Or, if you're in LOS already, how much non-work generated income would you want before you were comfortable throwing it in and going into early retirement?
For argument's sake, let's not discuss extra potential income from part-time jobs, freelancing, online share-trading etc. I know most here could generate extra income in one form or another if they needed to.
For my part, it would be something between 50-60,000 a month (to live up-country) and 80-100k a month in Bangkok. I like the quiet life.

If I had 100.000k a month for the rest of my life, I would never settle down, but travel around. The world is a big place. Much bigger then LOS.
6 months in one place is more then enough. Time to move on.

I would think that your estimates are just about correct. Up country you could live rather well on 50-60K baht per month and in Bkk or Pattaya you would need 100-150K baht I would think.
I am making 100k now and living in Chonburi (Bang Saen) area, and living quite nicely.
Granted you can't go out whoring every night like you do when you come here on vacation. But that usually wears off with time, and you will find yourself going out whoring less frequently.

(EDIT IN) I believe that scobie was talking Thai Baht not USD when stating his income figures.

Thanks GreenSlime, but I wasn't intending to open another thread of what we feel a good income is in LOS. That's been done to death.
I'm more interested in members' personal feeling of what level of investment income (if they have any) would make them cease to be slaves to the corporate dollar.

I guess the point I was making, is that if I had investments that earned me 100K Thai baht per month, I would definitely move here to Thailand and retire.
I know some farangs here that get a monthly check of as little as 40k Thai Baht from a retirement fund and they live happily.

I guess that's because he's a smart stockbroker! 10 million sounds about right for income generating assets.
I would feel comfortable with around 320,000 Baht each month. If I can have my investments regularly and reliably generate this amount, I'd consider retiring.
Maybe.

Are you guys serious? US$10m. Assuming a return of 5% per annum, you would really want 20m baht annually or 1.66m a month to feel safe in life?
Jeez. you guys have expensive tastes.
