Does any one no whether cbd or the higher thc would be more beneficial for pain ? I'm trying to avoid prescription medications because they often have unwanted side effects and I'm just exploring alternatives. Also, can it be purchased in an oil based form because I'd rather not smoke nowadays....cheers

I've always subscribed to the theory that real men don't need to bragg as to what they can do.

On the contrary, I would say that most racists are conditioned to be that way. And in my mind that is still no excuse for their poor judgement, as adults we must take responsibility for our actions.

Im not sure why you would have the creeps but each to their own. I was in Thailand 2 months ago so I have a fair idea what's happening over there but I'm certainly no expert and im always happy to learn more from others, that's part of the reason I'm on this site. Good luck with everything in the future and I hope everything goes well for you.

Inflation in Australia is supposedly running about 7.3% but my shopping bill has increased by double that rate. All the necessities, food, accommodation and energy have really been slugged and there doesn't look like much relief in sight. I'm fortunate because I have my own home but people in my area are paying $250 or more, just for a room. There's a lot of people doing it tough here at the moment and I don't think we've seen the worst of it yet. I'm still hopeful of making the move to Thailand next year but as usual my timings probably not to good.

I just want to say thank you to those who offered their advice. I'm starting to realise that maybe keeping my property here in Australia might be the way to go at this point in time. I will also engage a financial planner to help me find ways to invest my savings so I can maximise my income. I'm probably guilty of overthinking things at this point in time because the economy seems so volatile and I don't want to make any silly mistakes. I wish everyone the best of luck going forward and thanks once again...cheers I

I'm currently living in Australia (in my own home) and I find I can manage an adequate lifestyle, but if I had to pay a mortgage or I had to pay rent I feel it would be quite a struggle, especially with the increasing costs of food, fuel, and energy. My Thai girlfriend and I have known each other for about 5years and we travel back and forth to each other"s countries but I want us to settle together in one place in the not-too-distant future. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this question. If I sell my primary residence in Australia and I buy an apartment in Thailand will the Australian government recognise this as my primary residence or are all my assets counted against me if I make the move? I'm asking because this would put me over the Centrelink threshold and it would mean I would be in the somewhat risky position of needing to find investments to not eat away at my capital.

In almost every scenario its going to cost you to be with a woman. The trick is to find a woman who genuinely appreciates what you do for her, I don't mean she should be falling at your feet for making her life easier. I mean she should have your back because she knows you have hers.

I transferred money from my St George account via Wise 3 weeks ago. Is this something new?

I apologise for the sidetrack....it was a question I'd been dying to ask. Regarding the stock market, I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting incase of a correction but the bubble just keeps inflating. Also, good luck with your purchase, by the sounds of it you have a great lady so I dont think you have to much to worry about.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will 100% look into some professional assistance. There would only be myself and my girlfriend and the 80,000 per month would be after 1 built a house and purchased a car. I'm guessing ill have to put aside 5- 10,000 per month for health insurance but after hearing you can do it with 6 mouths to feed I feel a little more assured that I can make it happen...Happy Xmas

I would like to follow the exact model you've laid out but Im unsure how too make my money work for me overseas. I don't want to waste another 4 years in Australia waiting for my pension but everything I read suggests we are heading for an economic downturn. If I can find roughly 5% I figure i could probably live comfortably in Thailand on 80,000 baht per month.

Yes, I'm in Northern N.S.W near Ballina. I was very surprised because I was expecting a wait of at least 12 months. They said the cataracts had developed quickly and hence the 3 months time frame.... Good luck down in Nowra its a nice place to live....I lived there for 10 years.

I'm in Australia but I asked my girlfriend to get a quote for me from a doctor in Mahasarakham and I was quoted 25000 baht per eye. In the meantime I got a referral for an appointment with a local ophthalmologist here in N.S.W and they have scheduled me for a procedure within 3 months for free and then 3 months later for the second eye.

Correct, vaccines do reduce hospitalisation, so the smartest move is to try to get to 70% of the population vaccinated asap. The economy won't magically flourish if there is a rapid increase in deaths. Trying to save money buy stalling on vaccine procurement is what caused this mess, they need to spend money supporting the people or else they will just continue to sink further into the mud.

I'm not so sure the stock market can remain strong.The federal reserve can't keep printing money without causing massive inflation but they also can't stop printing money because they need the low interest rates to service the debt. With all the upcoming uncertainty, gold seems like a pretty viable place to invest...The next 12 months are going to be very interesting.

How sad to read comments from well fed people criticising those who do not have enough to feed their families.
