Looking for some different perspectives on my situation.
Here is the information I can give you...
You are 32, male and Canadian
0 Debts
No significant others
Only future liabilities are rent and food
$17 000 in cash and pension refunds
No interest in continuing on in ESL or Korea
90 days to go
What would you do next? |

Ditch ESL - get a business in Thailand or Eastern Europe.

Let's see 32 years old
If you work to 65 about 33 years to go
or 60 then 28 years. 
What type of work will you be wanting to do? Skilled or Unskilled.
Since you are still young, I think there will be a very good chance you will end up supporting a family. 
Basicly, try to make as much as you can because there will come the day when you will no longer be working.  |

| Stay teaching here until you decide what you really wanna do with your life. Might involve doing your Masters and such. Have some money banked so when you do go home to study you're not right back in debt =0 |

Book a long vacation, at least a month, somewhere I've always wanted to go. (If it's in S.E. Asia, India or Africa then the cost of 30-60 days is not much greater than 7-14 days).
You've earned it. Get that break in, more time to reflect, still will have ten thousand bucks left afterwards for whatever you decide to do then.
Seriously, take the time. |

Wow. You are in the exact same situation as me.
If I were you, I would do the same as me....slog it out for 3 more months...saves some $$$ and get some interest on that...just makes your future that much easier...
Then next year you could try somewhere else more relaxed with a bit of money in the bank. |
