We’ve all been hearing a lot about inflation recently. But what is inflation? Inflation is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time.
And with inflation running hot right now, the rate at which prices are increasing has obviously been unusually high.
There are a lot of reasons behind inflation running hot, but that’s not the point of today’s article. Moreover, it’s always important to focus on what you can control. And you can’t control the inflation rate.
But you can control how you react to it. You have control over your entire lifestyle. Your lifestyle can be set up in a way that makes you practically bulletproof against inflation.
Today, I want to tell you about a major life hack that is the ultimate protection against inflation. I detail it all in the video.

You have to be hiding under a rock if you have not noticed inflation. Back in 2014, I use to eat donuts every month at Dunkin' Donuts and I weighed around 330 lbs. During that time, I was able to purchase a dozen donuts at Dunkin' for about $7.50 with tax included. Some people told me they were even $5/dozen at one time. As of 01/2022, Dunkin' Donuts now charges $8.49 for six donuts where I am located. I'm so glad now that I cut my fast food consumption. As a result, I lost 145 lbs without surgery.
I live in Kansas. Cost of living is lower.
Another good way is to be fully invested, not sitting on a large amount of cash. A huge cash reserve isn't really necessary, maybe a few months at the most. Credit lines can help a lot too.
You should do a separate video series maybe on a different channel about being an expat in Thailand. I would definitely subscribe and watch your videos.
Well done Jason , great subject to bring to your viewers. I have been planning my move for a while, but some virus thing came along and derailed my timeline. Keep the great content coming !
Jason, a few questions from a Patreon that others might find interesting:
1) How do you find living in Thailand regards to language?
2) Any challenges moving funds in and out of the country?
3) What about taxes both US and Thai?
4) How do you find medical and dental care in Thailand?
Thanks for all that you do and I've found the Patreon very valuable as I get ready to retire next month!
I think the Philippines can rival Thailand in geographic arbitrage. Plus English is spoken by most people
Nice video! I live myself in Thailand since many years, I first lived in Bangkok, but later moved up to Isan. Now I'm living in Ban Phai, a 30 min ride to Khon Kaen. That move has lowered my expenses a lot since it is a lot cheaper to live here compared to Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket etc etc. Rents are a lot lower and what you pay in a restaurant is nothing to worry about. BTW, I subscribe to your channel since it's interesting and has so far giving me some good investment ideas. Well Done !!!
Yeah no I don't think I'll be moving to a third world country lol
I like a lot of your ideas about this video. But there's something else to consider on geographic arbitrage. And that is political environment.
Move too close to the politically hostile nations and that too plays a roll on your income.
I retired last year and am living in Florida. I love it, but I am concerned about the cost of living increases for the future. I am seriously thinking about moving to one of the central American countries Warm weather is very important to me.
I moved to Europe cheaper then the US. Slower pace of life, great food, great culture, food costs are good . Only down side is fuel cost are high so i bought a hybrid car.
What region of Thailand are you living in and how did you pick that area?
Great video, Jason! Been watching your videos for over a year now… this has to be one of the best. Thanks for all the work you do in putting out this great information!
[PROPERTY TAXES] has entered the chat..
Great video and I also love Thailand. However, to be fair if you’re married to a Thai then you’re no longer financially independent as you’re expected to pay for all kinds of stuff for the entire family (education, healthcare, housing etc.). I’ve seen many friends spent/loose almost all their money this way. Also, the Thai bath is a very strong currency which means that over the last twenty years you’re getting less and less bath for your dollars/euro’s/ponds. Still, that being said if you plan well you can build a wonderful live in Thailand.
or live in a nice low property tax town here in the USA with a paid for house. Live close to stores and other necessities so your travel cost is less and your close to parks and other free entertainment…
Thank you Jason for the great info
Liked the shout out to Omaha! That is where I live. The weather and property taxes are not great. Otherwise it is a great city.
When I was in Thailand in the service, I was with a girl that was so happy to be hooked up to a white guy, she paid my way the whole time I was there
You are great .i am from israel .
I folow you mors then ayear ..i invested for me and for my perents ..you have halped me a lot …thank you ..wish you all the best
Just landed in Thailand two days ago, my wife and I are looking forward to a quiet retirement. I hope your doing well.
Cool to bump into you at the cafe! Keep up the great work. You guys put out such valuable information.
Your landlord is probably not running a non-profit. You are going to pay all the expenses and the landlord's profit, increasing every year. Maybe buy a place so only maintenance and repairs are going up. You have the option to DIY to keep down the repair costs, don't have to pay someone else's profit margin, and you've fixed the cost of everything else. Plus if worst comes to, you have an asset that typically appreciates at least the rate of inflation and you can sell or reverse-mortgage it when needed. Then you don't have a landlord to decide to kick you out, or uproot your life moving across the country or around the world, unless you want to.
I took the route of moving to a lower cost area, as mentioned at 12:15. I was able to invest in rental property and buy a luxury home. And I can easily afford to travel now and contribute heavier to my stocks. Moving overseas isn't a possibility for me until my daughter is through university.
Nice!
What do you do about the visa, Jason? How are you able to live constantly in Thailand?
Nowadays China is advanced like South Korea and cheap like Thailand. I live in Albany, NY right now (for reasons undisclosed but short story I can't leave US yet), where my rent for a tiny disgusting and unsafe "studio" cost $600 USD (electricity not included). Just so we're comparing apples with apples and oranges with oranges, the luxury apartment I was renting in Foshan, China, a second tier city comparable to Albany, cost only $118 USD/month. I still keep in touch with my real estate agent in China and she says the price is still the same, 6 years later! That same luxury condo would cost more than $1,800 USD/month here in Albany.
You always rock buddy, thank you
Dividends work for some and don't work for others…but regardless of your stance.
One can't argue against double digit pay raises;)
But all my stuff is in The US! But then again ….. Omaha.
