    Compare Cost of Living, etc around the globe
    Amazing website I found. Sick of Costa Rica soaring prices and corrupt government bullshit (worse president of CR history will be elected in feb most likely, Alvarez Desanti).

    So I decided I pretty much gonna move to either Medellin, Colombia or Mexico DF... Women beauty, cocaine and safety make Colombia the heavy favorite at least by -300.

    Comparing prices to SJ, CR... cost of living is 40-60% cheaper than here... my money lasting 2 times what it lasts down here would fuckin suffice for me... in a lot of ways

                  Think Medellin is a lock.

                  Mexico city close 2nd.

                  Colombian chicks gorgeous. Mexicanas not so much.

                  But I have tons of friends in Mexico so thats kinda a plus.

                        I know Americans who lived in Colombia and loved it. Came back to US just to hate it.

                        The best things of the American "way of life" can be found in several places minus the racial wars, high obesity %, 30% taxes and the terrorist threats by muslims and government alike.

                            I agree the USA is a shithole. Not worth it at all to move here unless your being given handouts up the wazoo.

                                Outer suburbs of Calcutta quite cheap. Parts of Russia too if you're not too fussed about the quality of alcohol.

                                  Its super safe in Medellin and Bogota. Obv you cant go around making a big fuzz at night making yourself a target but the government has advanced in security so much.

                                  I live in Costa Rica. Colombia is safer and has less crime than CR.

                                  Just last night my MMA training brother was coming out of a club w a girl and he got robbed at gunpoint when arriving to his vehicle.

                                  Iphone7s down the shitter.

                                    I'm not saying you should come back to the US. I don't live in CR but have visited a few times. From my perspective CR still offers a pretty sweet deal when you look at the total package. You couldn't pay me to travel to Mexico let alone live there. Colombia - never been but I've known a lot of Colombians over the years and the chicks are all hot and the people seem pretty cool.

                                      handouts out the wazoo is a myth

                                      standard is $735 a month for a major handicap. then say about $150 a month food stamps tops

                                      so $900 a month. yet the cost of rent is about that. so a lot of ppl live in their cars


                                      the secret truth is private prison work camps. those are flourishing. highest prison pop per citizen in world history. prison state

                                        Unless you're retiring, and most of us aren't, you have to factor in your ability to make money there too. You can't make as much there, so it evens out.

                                        If you own a business and can go nomad? Montenegro and Georgia are the places to be. I've been all over this for years now.

                                          If cheap is your thing, Syria looks sick AF right now!!

                                          Bottle of wine $5, bottle of beer - $1.12 (Syrian jail -- priceless)
                                          1 bedroom apartment in city center - $166.17 (roof not included)
                                          10 cents for one-way transportation (to HELL!)

                                          Get these deals while they last!

                                            I dont owe a businnes but I work from home. So my income in CR is the same across the globe.

                                            Using the site in the OP I can see medellin is 50% cheaper in avg than CR.

                                            And I always wanted to marry a Colombiana.

                                            My budget is $3k a month more or less which is high class in Medellin.

                                              Medellin is pretty hot right now too. Just not in the top 3. BUt everyone is different, that top 3 is just a general list.

                                                If you don’t have family in the US then fine, I probably would be in Costa Rica or Bolivia

                                                  Thank you Ralphie... you have traveled a lot?

                                                  Im just looking for hot women and cheap living with tolerant laws on online gambling and recreational drug use.

                                                  $3k in CR is a good life... but if money last 50% more with hotter women in Colombia where I can be a high class citizen by their standards is a good deal.

                                                  I love my family but frankly could use some time away from them until they solve their shit.

                                                    My aunt has a train painting company in LA... My cousin is an LAPD officer in LA as well.

                                                    My cousin is a elementary school teacher in NC... and I have a cousin and a best friend who ride with the Angels in NC as well.

                                                    I could basically move there and choice a career as a painter, a police officer (LOL) or a Hells Angels outlaw.


                                                    But meh, dont wanna live in the US eiither way... love to visit, just not my cup of tea society wise.

                                                        Hmmm... I really dont have much contacts in prostitution, yeah Ive dabbled on coke fueled orgies with 3 colombianas especially when I win $1k-$2k a night playing poker at the Colonial but other than that... I frequent pubs, discos or open field rave parties... im more into the hunt and not the act of fukkin by paying so my knowledge and frequency of night clubs and whorehouse is very limited...

                                                        Nothing better than pushing a hot girl against the wall or get her inside a restroom, give her some blow and fukk her right there, against the wall, and have her thank you for it... and maybe buy her a drink or 2 afterwards
                                                        Is very seedy really... especially in San Jose, I avoid... have to be real horny and with no game to surrender to paying a chick a benji for some sucky fucky.

                                                              Haha I knew you and a couple other guys lived there so no offense. I will be the first to admit that I have not traveled to mainland Mexico. All of my experience there has been in Baja so my view is limited. I've been to TJ, Rosarito, Ensenada, and Cabo a few times...not a fan. It's more the people than the third world stuff.
