Would U$D 100-200 a month cut it in Grenada? Because thats what he can get on a sustainable basis from the 25K he's holding.
I'm serious when i say its easy to live on zero US dollars and still have a good time. It seems like practicaly 25% of the population does. You would be camping or would have a set up a little shack for you to sleep at night but if your cool with that then you're good on zero dollars. If not, I'm not sure how much lodging would be, but you could get something decent for peanuts.
Good food is fairly cheap and rum costs significantly less than milk (i can't remember how much for a gallon but its near nothing). It wouldn't be hard to live on under $100 a month.
And right now China and i believe also Taiwan and Japan are pouring money into the country. It will only get better unless it gets hit with another Ivan but it shouldn't, at least not for a while.

Life is all about the experience. With that said, I would take the $25,000 pack up only the necessities and backpack across the globe for however long I could until I ran out of money. No resorts, I would refuse to be a tourist just snapping pictures from far away. I want to be in the action, live with the people. That would be far more fulfilling than having a car paid off. IMHO anyways.

If i didnt care about my career I'd probably move to Thailand and study Muay Thai while partying up and down the coast in the down time. Or maybe move to Goa and relax for a while.
Well, that or buy two of these and an eastern european sex slave.

I'd put $15k aside to pay my child support, I'd take the remaining $10k and travel through Japan, Indonesia, India, etc., and teach English overseas for three years.

Oh, i meant either go to thailand or stay and buy coke. Even though I've pretty much quit coke, might do it one more time before summer's over.
And I already study MT, but its just a dream of mine to go there and do the 8 hour a day trainings and fight a few thais in the ring even tho it might be hard to find someone in my weightclass. And the country sure does look beautiful and the food looks awesome. I'll deffinately make at least one trip. For now it looks like i'm just gonna try and catch a prideFC show in Japan.

I very much want to go. I've heard so many good things about it. And yes, I'd very much like to learn Muay Thai there. It would be a must if I lived there for awhile.
I just need to find someone to go with. I get a little nervous thinking about travelling to such places all by myself.

If you are going to Thailand, be sure to ask/look around for a place that makes "special omelets." They put Mushrooms (and LSD when they are not available in them).
No joke.
Good luck.
