Living the life by Robert5074

Sorry bro, but you want to live in TL for $375.00 a month??? You would be staying in a rat hole eating rice and thats it. Not doable, at all. Not as inexpensive as you think. Nice condo with a pool and some services is 600.00 to 1,000 a month. ... Read More

I don't understand. If you live in Thailand you don't have to pay state tax no matter what state you have a mailing address in. And any retirement check takes out any applicable tax before deposit, which can be direct. Thanks Bill, I do ... Read More
