We’re Doc & Bean — a married couple who retired early and relocated overseas to build a more intentional life abroad.

After decades in high-responsibility careers, we chose early retirement, financial flexibility, and living internationally instead of the traditional work-until-65 path. Thailand is our current base, and we share what life actually looks like after the move.

This channel is for people planning early retirement, retirement abroad, or a long-term move overseas who want real information, not hype.

We focus on the financial and lifestyle realities that matter most, including Thailand visas, cost of living, retirement budgeting, housing, healthcare, transportation, safety, and expat planning.

We break down how Social Security, pensions, and savings translate to real life outside the U.S., with a focus on Southeast Asia.

If you’re considering early retirement or living abroad, you’re in the right place.
