You are absolutely correct on everything you said, I could not have said it better. I’ve driven beaters since I got out of high school, I’m 67 years old now. Lucky for me my beaters were either a Toyota or a Nissan. Simple and easy to fix. Some beaters were given to me, I bought a beater from a neighbor. I keep an eye out on my family and neighbors cars to see when they get a new car. Luckily I had interest in cars when I was young, that was the thing to do, work at a gas station and work on cars. That knowledge and skills is like gold today. I’ve saved a lot of money in 50 years. Beater cars will require attention because things will go wrong. It helps if you have some DIY skills. Today I much rather drive a newer vehicle, it’s just more comfortable and less maintenance. Everyone should have one beater in their life to know how a car works so you don't get screwed too bad by a mechanic or dealer.

I used to work as a temp in Utqiakvik Alaska. I always brought dried beans/peas. They make delicious soups and stews, even cold ones like black bean soup.

I went to grad school in Hawai’i back in the 80’s and would do this loop at least three times a week when I didn’t have time for longer rides. Usually would catch the descent about sunset and get some awesome views screaming down that hill at speeds approaching 50 mph. So glad I never had a blowout on those skinny tires pumped up to 120 psi at those speeds. Never gave it much thought back then. Thanks for the post.

thank you ; very informative , please do some more videos , on food costs and other items. Good Job !!

Who are you to blow this spot up?

Idk where you live but, that registration fee is straight highway robbery 😂

When the money came in, the fun went out.

Beautiful Falls. Are you on a bike tour in Japan?

How dare you reveal THIS spot! Jk just messing with ya

Classic Bu shit

Oh man. You guys need better Mexican food out there! I'm sure that's good but if you ever come to LA, you will change your view of Mexican food. I'm really spoiled in that way. I'ma pray that you get some magic style Mexican food some day!

Well, I have enough income to live in my own country. Difference is that with the same money I can live here as good and I can save money every month. In my country I had a mortgage, here my house is paid for. I live in Thailand, together with my Thai wife. But we don't live for less then 1000$. No need for. But we lead a normal life. No crazy things, but enjoy anyway.

Filipino dollars? Wtf? No credibility

That Bumrungrad hospital is world class! This video is EXCELLENT! I plan to move to the Philippines, and as part of that plan, avoiding expats will be on my list. There are some great people, but unlike most places where 1% are wacked-out, I think that half can't be trusted.

I lived in Thailand for 15 months on a student visa. Got tired of the scams and bullshit. Sometimes you feel like a bug trying not to get stepped on. It was an interesting experience and I am glad that I did it, but Thailand is not my home. My Thai language skills are limited, so yes, becoming more fluent in the language can be very helpful. I read Thai very very slowly ha ha.

I learned much of this the hard way. Now i travel and enjoy the food and beaches. Many expats have drug problems but many do not

Very good advice. I would like to add that if you have a drug problem, please stay away from Southeast Asia. The drug dealers don't play games. The illegal drug laws are harsh with lengthy prison terms and up to a mandatory capital punishment for drug dealers and smugglers. Although I don't exactly know how bad the jail facilities are, I often heard that it makes the U.S. penitentiary system looks like Disneyland in comparison. I've seen several Locked Up Abroad documentaries. The prisons looked nasty as hell. However, if you're a decent and normal person with good intentions, then you will find good educated hard working people who are willing to be your friends. I'm a Vietnamese American, disabled U.S. Army veteran and a retired federal worker. Us Viet Kieu qualifies for a five years renewable visa. We can also apply for permanent residence after six months in the country. We built our retirement villa in 1999 and purchased additional lands in 2007. I'm now 60 but have retired from the federal government's early retirement program since 2021. We will be selling our home in the States and living full time in Vietnam ASAP. Living La Vida Loca, babeee!

Stop using my video content. You do not have my permission.

If you’re struggling in Asia, my advice is to go home. Lol

If you were a loser barely getting by in your home country, you will be a loser here as well (Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia); if you had mental issues at home, you will have mental issues here; if your only friends are those who work or are customers in the red light district you will have low class friends who are unable to help enhance your quality of life; if you think living in a 25 SqM condo for less than $700 a month is great, just wait a couple months (or weeks) when you feel you have no room to live, accumulate things with no storage space, wish to invite friends over. I have about $5k a month earnings from pension & investments, no rent since I own my 135 SqM condo, low monthly expenses as I don't frequent the entertainment areas, have a daily routine that includes fitness, and all of my friends are locals. Been planning to retire here since 20 years ago, did not do this on a whim.

R.I.P. No Joke Howard. A great soul that left this world to soon.

Yeah i remember no joke, he passed away right?

Bottom line.....for a comfortable life in SEAsia you need about USD1800 and you need an exit plan for the unexpected.

Rule Nr 1: Stay away from red-light districts and massage salons, and don't spend all your free time drinking. That already avoids most of the issues that most idiots who get themselves in trouble end up facing.

Where's the greenery? To much stimulation for me.

the worst is to have mental illness in SEA, even China because its something looks down upon and you wont get the help you need (many factors). I used to live in China and one thing that never made the news are the amount of expats that off themselves over there. I know a few...... its sad

Did you had a beer or 2 when you shoot the video?

Hey Spot, can be true about Hawaii too. Think it's going to be mai tai's and luaus everyday then the realities start to come into focus. Lots of people move to Hawaii end up leaving cuz no can handle.

Nice video. Hit some good points people tend to ignore. In 10 years in Thailand I've met so many people who came over here and failed to stay long term because they didn't get the idea that it's their home now. Not a place to just party recklessly until everything turns to shit. Cheap living doesn't mean turning into a wannabe Dan Bilzerian. It should just mean getting ahead.

Great video. Informative, and quite a thought provoking, because I am also an expat myself here in South East Asia.

Have a plan, Thai school, necessary, find a job, easy when you speak Thai, work till you get your Countries pension and retire. Worked for me.

Goa/Thailand since 1970.

Grounded.. Good piece..

If you struggle live in Asia you will even more struggle in the States or Europe .

Yup, it'll definitely turn ladies heads. Turn AWAY from you lol. But yeah love the content man.

Ridiculous political influence. Haleakala Dairy with processed plant in Oahu sent to Japan and back to Maui and guess who gets shipping cost. Thanks Union.

Where is everybody? I thought it'd be packed with waves like that

Thanks a lot!! It worked for me too

FYI....Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Base/Station & Bellows Air Force Station(KMCAS)....Marine Corps Training Area/Bellows

Bidenomics

It's not Canadian prices

Tribulation doesn't run backwards. People are spiritually asleep.

do not eat that bread. They are making you a favour.

Worked as a Paramedic in Aiea and used to p/u patients at Halawa correctional facility and have seen the SHU there where the high profile cases go and all i have to say is it keeps you on the straight and narrow. You can feel the hate and negativity when walking in. Its palpable and the cells are extremely small and claustrophobic. Why anyone commits these crimes should take a tour. OCCC seems like Disneyland compared to that

😂❤

In a different timeline, Blockbuster became the most popular streaming app.

I'm shocked it lasted so long as the Blockbusters I went to they hired idiots who either hardly watched movies or didn't even know how to properly stock a movie. I even went to one Blockbuster where they tried to rip me off.

I remember getting my first DVD player and walking into a huge Blockbuster in suburban New York and asking where their DVD section was. The worker said they didn't have any DVDs and that the company was not moving in that direction because they didn't think the market demand would be there. I knew right then that they were doomed.

Cant belive that bend oregon actually got to renew their lease and contract! They said a couple years ago that they might not be able to do it! But also the population is getting lasier and lasier so i dont see it lasting too much longer honestly. Also they should have taken the netflix deal when it was offered to them. Edit: also i think anything dvd will be going exstinct pretty soon unfortunately

Slow tech? I worked there in 1996/1997 and we could see how many copies of any movie that were available. Maybe you are referencing before then
