How To Retire Early, Live Well In Warm Weather

Retirement is a time when many dread. Primarily because the income is now less than during our working lives. Further when we retire we are usually older and hence less healthy. If we are living in a cold environment it does not help. Most of us would like to retire when we are younger but for the cost of living continue to be on an upward spiral.

We therefore are always on the look out for places that offer us good living at costs that allow us to maintain a high standard of living, in a safe environment but without compromising on the ease that modern advances afford us. Malaysia is a very good alternative under its Government initiated Malaysia My Second Home Programme. Easily accessible from most parts of the world with direct international connections by air, Malaysia is a multi-racial, multi cultural country with ultra modern infrastructure framed by the World's highest Twin towers in the Capital City of Kuala Lumpur. The whole country is very well connected with up-to-date, modern road, rail, air, and sea transportation systems. Public transport by air-condition buses, taxis, trains and planes are comfortable, efficient and relatively low in cost.First classes medical facilities are available are also available at a fraction of the cost most non-Malaysians are used to.

A choice of Hill, beach or City living in accomodations of ones choosing is available at affordable pricing. English is widely spoken. All religions and cultures can be practiced very freely and there is a free intermingling of different cultures.

The country has everything for the family, theme parks, jungle trails/sports, water sports and one of the highest numbers of golf courses ?ratio to population.

All the food of the world can be found here at very reasonable cost. You can live very well for less than USD2,000 per month). For example, a 5 star hotel room in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur costs less than USD100 per night and a meal with wine for two an estimated USD60 only. A MacDonald's Burger costs less than USD1.50 With so many races and cultures living together in harmony, it is understandable that each race has picked up the best of each others food and made Malaysia into Asias Food Paradise. Similarly the tropical fruits of Malaysia are unique, exotic and available in abundance practically throughout the year. It is a real joy to savour these fruits. The weather is pleasant, warm and balmy with moderate rain throughout the year, there are also highland residential areas and resorts with permanent spring-like weather throughout the country.

Quality goods from all over the world are imported and are relatively low in price and sold throughout Malaysia Statistics proof that Malaysia is one of the safest countries in the world; its crime rate is relatively low. The rule of law is one of the fundamentals in Malaysia's constitution. Everyone is subjected to the law and also equal before the law. Malaysia practises basically the British system of justice with an independent reliable and dependable judiciary.

RETIREMENT TO MALAYSIA IS SO GOOD!

Broadband - How To Keep Your Children Safe Online

According to an official survey 42% of households in the EU now have a broadband connection; this is a 12% increase from the following year

With an ever increasing amount of broadband connections available, more children than ever have access to the internet. Are enough precautions being taken to ensure their safety?

Research has revealed that children as young as three are spending on average two and a half hours per week surfing the internet outside of school hours. Worryingly, what the research has also highlighted is that almost half of parents are failing to sufficiently monitor the websites that their children view.

A study conducted by the price comparison site, Moneysupermarket.com, reveals that as the children get older, the amount of time spent online increases. Children aged from seven to nine spend, on average, one and three quarter hours per week online outside school, compared to four and a quarter hours spent online by those aged between 13 and 15.

As a child gets older, it becomes progressively more difficult for a parent to know what that child is doing every minute of the day. When they reach their early teenage years, they begin to break away and demand more independence and privacy; this can make it especially difficult for parents to adequately check what they are getting up to online.

Children who are approaching teenage years are probably more computer literate than their parents realise. Despite this, their social naivet can leave them susceptible to manipulation from undesirable characters of all kinds.

It's no exaggeration to say that the internet is possibly the most powerful educational tool that you are ever likely to possess in your home. If your child is taught to use it in an appropriate manner then it can be hugely beneficial to their education. But, if left to their own devices, an internet connection can potentially be quite a damaging influence up a young mind.

Supervision, common sense and some handy software applications should be all that is needed to ensure that your child stays safe.

What can be done?

?Consider the location of your PC. A young child with a broadband internet connection in their bedroom is not ideal, so make sure the PC is located where the child will not be left on their own.

?Discourage the child away from using internet chat rooms or supervise them closely when they do use them. Make sure they don't share any personal information, like email addresses etc.

?Use a web browser like Mozilla Firefox which has an excellent built in pop-up blocker.

?There are a number of search engines available that are designed especially for children. They filter out all sites considered to be unsuitable. Encourage them to use these when searching the internet. Child friendly search engines include: Ask Jeeves for Kids - www.ajkids.com & Yahooligans - www.yahooligans.com.

Alternatively, you can use the filter options that are available on the search engine that you are currently using.

?For more control over content then software such as Net Nanny or Cyber Control should be considered. These products provide a wide variety of parental controls that help ensure a safe internet environment for kids.

One search to compare UK broadband internet providers.
