As always you nail the truth with compelling accuracy. The only notes I have two months to the day of leaving the US is that it didn’t take 2-3 months to experience this 🤯 feeling. We have felt it multiple times a day in Thailand since arriving.

And it spans all you described and more like how our phone plans are now around 14 dollars a month each versus the 193 we handed Verizon every month for much less quality/ coverage.

What are taxes like in Thailand?

I lived in Italy for 6 months of each year for the past 10 years. I enjoy the low cost/ high quality of living in Italy vs Coastal Southern California. I love both places but It’s always a culture shock to readjust to life in the U.S. I wasn’t subject to the Italian tax system however and I’m wondering if the higher taxes in Italy versus California make it less economical overall to live in Italy.

I agree with the sentiments of this article. Also find it sort of ironic that it costs $75 per month to subscribe to this stack.
