Re: Rough budget for living

Re: Rough budget for living

I retired at age 50, and am now living on an MM2H visa in Penang. I am not working. Not in a regular job, and not in some internet-based job.

Re: Rough budget for living

@Stuck in Auckland: it would have been better if you had opened your own thread, instead of posting your various questions in multiple, old, threads.

Re: Rough budget for living
