After my divorce I quit my job, moved to Thailand and have been unemployed for 18 months. I dont have anything like that sort of money in the bank and I dumped most of my possessions before I left, but I was overpaid before I left and had money from the house sale and company shares. Ive got enough cash to last a few years.

Im working on a business that may some day earn some serious cash, but for now, money is not important. Being free of possessions (aka shit) is the best feeling. Very liberating.

Ive met a beautiful Thai lady and we are very happy. I spend time in Thailand and New Zealand, have travelled to europe and all over asia.

Couldnt be happier.
