Coming up to my retirement soon. Should I live in the UK or migrate to Cambodia. Cards on the table.
Disposable income ¬¬¬¬ £10,870 per year, works out at approx £905 per month, and £209 per week. I don't want to live in a shit hole of a apartment, but don't require rock star Condo either. I do like to go out for a beer maybe 4 times a week. And I enjoy female company from time to time. I just need get out of the UK, it's not a country I am proud of anymore. Hope you can help.
that budget would likely be too tight for me though if i was retired and not working,
but then again i am younger, im sure theres plenty that can survive on less but an average night out for me is around $80-120,
for a nice cheap apartment you would probably be looking around $2-500 per month, which eats into your leisure budget some what,
nothings stopping you from coming over for 6 months though to give it a try and see how you get on
Why would he do that when he could buy a bar . Think of the savings, in not having to go out for a drink, ladies at your finger tips , probable free rent and make lots of money at the same time.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: The Clash
IMHO you will have a far better lifestyle in Cambodia than the UK on that money.
Keys points are:
Get you accommodation costs down to under $250 per month.
Get good internet for entertainment at home.
Own transportation
Cook at least half your meals at home
Shop in the markets where possible
Only go out 4 nights a week.
Get girls phone needs and call them direct.
I rarely spend more than $20-35 on a night out. But do not take ladies (I am in Cambodia for the culture and business /investment) .

Re: The Clash
Have you visited Cambodia before? It can be too chaotic for some or too hot. I prefer the chaos personally and the weather. I don't like a nanny state like where I'm from or some Legoland suburbia like in Europe. If you enjoy freedom, it's a great place. However, if you have health issues, maybe look elsewhere.

Re: The Clash

Re: The Clash
As laudjohn pointed out your income will go way further in Cambodia than in the UK. Here you can live with that amount as opposed to surviving in blimey.
The only consideration is medical care. But given the derelict state of the NHS that'll only get worse with the exodus of EU nurses and doctors, there again you'd be better off here.

Re: The Clash
Another thing you have to watch here is drinking because it is so cheap and you'll have unlimited time being retired.

Re: The Clash
Go over, give it a try for 6 months, BUT DONT burn any bridges back home, ( ie don't sell everything) that way if it doesn't work out, u can always go back
For comparison ONLY, u can live on that amount in thailand ( but u'll need more to get the retirement visa)

so $15,294/year $1,274/month AND??? £209 per week or?????£10,870 per year, works out at approx £905 per month, and £209 per week
