    Thailand is awesome.. Language barrier though which SUCKS!! Vietnam decent.. Philippine islands is the call though for Asian chicks and cheap living.. Small towns near the beaches were just paradise when I went.. Cost of living is so cheap and the Asians girls speak English and are cute and generally have good values.....

    I've been every where and done that.. Thailand is nice though..

    Had a great experience in the Phillipines as well. You really can't go wrong in the big 3 - phillipines, vietnam, thailand. Also has a steady flow of westerners who visit so the party scene isnt so foreign when you dont want it to be. Always have the option to party it up with westerners when you feel like it.

    Yes, tough to judge a nation by its tourist ridden beach towns.
    Let me know when you're ready for the mainland. I can rent a 4 bedroom house out to you for a good price and you'll get a 50% SBR Pro discount.

    Plus the $20

    Yep those are the big 3 for westerners whom are looking to escape and evade and never want to be heard from again if you want.. The American dollar goes a long way and you can easy retire and call it quits in those big 3..

    For vacation and holiday you will always have good time as well..

    Jamaica, Negril I never had a bad time either and I've been several times. Must pay big time to get citizenship though...

    I'm a beach bum at heart and that's the eyes I see thru...

    Move to Dubai or Abu Dhabi

    Dubai is high cost of living, Abu Dhabi you can't drink (pretty sure)

    And even in 3rd world shit holes, there are nice areas, and you can live very well there (again, if you can find a way to make money, or if you're retiring with money). And if/when 3rd world nations improve and become developing world nations, you're gonna be glad you got there early.

    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

    CR is crazy expensive than a few short years ago. Thailand is so much cheaper. I hear Vietnam is really booming and still a good deal.

    Good post, but site has a lot of room for error, say some cities have cheap shops like nofrills where u buy same food brands time and a half cheaper, while others have only overpriced ones. Deoending on who enters data, cost of living can vary drastically. Same for big malls have huge discounts while u have to pay full price in smaller towns even if its few dollars cheaper

    Best part of it is the low labor costs for things like housekeeping and landscaping. In Mexico, I pay about $1.75usd/hr for a full service housekeeper to do laundry, dishes, cleaning, pet care, child care etc.

    I had a Indian student lab teacher in college for a class and remember asking him if I had 100k in India could I live like a king he said yes. I never believed him or checked into that kind of thing too much. Not sure if he thought I meant just for visiting or living off of.

    Yeah, because multi-million dollar homes, $5 a gallon gas, and $5 jugs of milk are cheap. Good thing the median family income around there is way south of $100,000.

    I was blown away by how cheap real-estate was out there. As long as you stay away from the touristy areas, Nevada is very affordable.

    It is.

    I have several Brit friends here that have no desire to go back to the UK because they make such a good life here.

    Weather, women, excitement, people that get after it. You could do worse. And you will.

    HUAD, good thread. I'm going to digest some more.

    Americans don't realize how much they're being gouged. Travel a little bit and find out what options are out there.
