I browse this sub a lot and it’s really convinced me that it’s time to get my shit together and start saving.
Context: I’m 26 years old and I live in Thailand. After my rent/bills about 75% of salary is left. For the last year and I bit I’ve been enjoying myself with holidays and traveling. Obviously the time has come to be an adult.
My immediate plan is to build up an emergency fund ASAP. Growing up I always saved in cash because I just found it easier that way, if I had access to the bank account when I was out shopping/eating I’d always end up taking money out of savings to treat myself.
Banks here seem to offer similar saving accounts to the west, however when I’m looking for advice about investment funds as well.
Any and all advice really, how do I go about accessing these in Asia, is it the same as the west or do I need to go a different route. When I lived in the UK I had government bonds - would it be worth transferring my money back to the UK to put back into these?
