Looking at the cost of living and RE prices overseas. I feel like I could quit my job and live in Thailand forever. Has anyone here thought about it?

There are lots of expat communities all over the world and Thailand is pretty popular for people looking to live cheaply and remotely. It's definitely a culture shock but once you get used to it I can imagine it's easy to find happiness there. Make sure you have skills that allow you to work remotely and I'd say you have a pretty good chance. Me personally I'd settle somewhere in the Caribbean but maybe I'm biased because that's where I'm from lol

Haha I got you. It doesn’t matter where for me. As long as it’s by the beach, I’m good.

I have thought many times about quitting my job and moving somewhere else. Really I just want to see the world and experience new cultures. There is just a whole big world out there that I haven't seen yet.

Same here. I have a number in mind. Once I hit that number, I can exit it and hope to never look back. Maybe do some consulting work to keep me busy.

Anyone here work 2 fulltime jobs? I barely work for less than 10 hours a week at my current job (except for like 2.5 months when it gets really busy). I just got an offer for a new job that I accepted. I had my performance review today which went pretty well and I’m thinking to keep my current job as it barely requires any work. Has anyone done this? Would this impact me in any way?
