When you move to Thailand, make your own dream life.
Thailand is not a competition to see which foreigner can out do the others.
People move to Thailand with different incomes and budgets.
Don’t worry about what the other foreigners are doing, carve out the best life you can with what you have.
One thing to remember is if you have 20+ years to live, to make sure your income will cover anything you need for the rest of your life.
Too many foreigners come to Thailand, overspend on a house, land, car and 20 years later run out of money.
You can build your dream to your own financial scale and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
It is good to plan to the end of life and scale to that.
PS? No one really cares how grand your house is or what kind of car you drive.
Be sensible and find your own happiness.
