We could buy a condo, but why bother? We'll both probably be dead in the next 10-15 years anyway, (or less, the way we live,) my son has a hell of a lot more money than I have so leaving it to him isn't doing him any special favors. He's not about to come here to live... Neither my wife nor I care a wit about fancy furniture... A comfortable bed, sofa, two recliner chairs, and a kitchen table suffice, along with a work bench/computer desk for each of us. My socks and underwear are quite happy to live in a plastic storage drawer. They don't need a teak amoire. And I sure as hell am not about to mow the lawn or repair the driveway.... Yes, a nice rental will do us just fine.
And in honor of being in Thailand, we are both drinking Singha beer!
