Always the trade offs...Singapore/Malaysia is an option as well. I want a job b/c you never know what happens in trading and finance. Besides, full time trading is not for me. Too stressful...Why would you need a job if you're trading profitably? You can live like a king on $100k a year in SE-Asia. I've spend a year in Thailand in the past, but I don't feel living permanently there is for me. Dividing living time between the West and PP seems like the best compromise for me personally. Unfortunately the best women reside outside the West, but life comes with other downsides there as a trade-off.
. It's more than that.
