Hi, i was living in hcmc for 8 months last year on a leave of absence . I returned home to Toronto, Canada becuase i had to deal with some personal stuff. Its been 6 months since i left vietnam. I miss asia and love vietnam. Iam in my late 30s and at a point where i want to leave my job, my pension and move to asia permanently. I feel that canada provides job security and stability but it is a cold and boring place. My family and friends s are telling me that iam stupid to leave my great.
I just cant imagine myself working another 17 years to qualify for a full pension. I am adventurous and do not not want to be here any longer. I want to follow my heart and not follow the north american dream.
My plan is to find a job, start a small business (airbnb) and make additional interest income from my savings. I am struggling between staying in canada and s working wih a good job with security vs increasing my quality of life if move to vn and settle for lower ay.
Your thoughts on how to make this tough decision. Btw I have read all of your recent threads and viewed the ted videos on decision making. Pls advise.
Allan
