    Talking Looking for a dive related job.

    A job where I would go out to a reef, take info/pics on the changes that are happening daily/weekly. Come back in, write a report.

    This job should come with good pay, a 3br/2ba air conditioned home, private transportation, in a beautiful location, friendly to Americans, safe and secure and a nice boat to get me to the reef and back. Also would be an added plus if home came with private pool and a maid.

    Rob a bank then move to Thailand or the Phillipines!
    Chauffeur, maid, house w/ pool are all very affordable.

    I apparently made a client so much money that he got married, retired, & moved either to Thailand or the Phillipines. I think he owns & runs a fruit juice & icecream stand by the beach. & has some sort of internet cafe set up on the main strip.

    I should've upped my fee.

    Between the Philippines and Thailand, you could easily retire there on the equity from a home sale in the U.S.

    I have a house to sell, how much do you really think you would need to retire in style there? Of course by style, I mean fairly modern house on the water (the intercoastal or bay is fine, need a boat dock) a decent car, and of course a nice dive boat.

    We are thinking about selling and moving to the Florida Gold Coast, but retirement sounds like a nice idea!

    Pinoys, correct me if I'm off, but I believe the equivalent to $200-250K buys a nice house in the Phils, and housekeepers are about $5-10$ a day.
