a big decision to make there.
im in a similar but not exactly the same position. I have 6 mths left on my contract, am divorced with full custody of my son who is half Thai. Ive been expatting for about 14yrs so am not on my bones but done alot in my divorce etc. and thanks to Aussie immigration, I may not be receiving a new Aus passport for my son so that will mean returning to Thailand after my contract finishes. a situation that id like to fulfill my responsibility as a parent and a rediculous one thanks to immigration.. btw my son does have aussie citizemship. my plan is to short term trade and day trade but bery conservatively, ive lived in thailand for quite a few yrs in the past and am aware of the cost of living which is in my benefit. Ive been back trading for a few months now and with all my green and red trades I can manage to make half of my current salary so if that continues I wont be too concerned. am also 60% of the way through my honours degree in computer science so that will also keep me busy... honestly i look forward to the extra time i will have with my son and not having to spend my time keeping these customers a float from their poor and cheap decisions but as with everything in life, a permanent income is always alot more comfortable. if you can find a way to hold a low risk but guaranteed income on the side of trading at least you know you will have something rolling in.
