Go Spurs Go!!
One of my closest friends is Pinoy aka Filipino, he keeps trying to get me to buy land out there so, that is definitely a highly likely place. Another is Costa Rica or Panama. I've been to both places and the cost of living is nice, the weather is good, and if shit hits the fan I could drive back to the States. LMAO. It would be an awful drive but it's actually possible.
I also have another homie who is from St. Vincent and bought a beautiful house out there for him and his family. He keeps telling me about land there and how beautiful the island is. I've never been there and I need to go when he goes home. He is currently in Puerto Rico with his family and I love that place. It's an American territory so that doesn't count. Lol.
I most likely will end up in Central America or South East Asia due to cost of living and just the chill nature.

Dope! You speak any of the languages?
I've lived in a variety of different places.
To be honest with you, once you can grasp the language of a foreign country and it's politics, you realize it's all the same shit. Like, I am pretty sure someone from the Philippines or El Salvador would come to America and think what we go through is light compared to their home. If you not coming from a less developed nation to rich developed, nation your improved quality of life will just be perception shift, it won't be reality.
When people talk about why another country is better because it has better politics or whatever, they are looking from the outside in. You are not embedded in that country's history or culture.
It's why immigrants can come to America and call it the best country on Earth. Of course it is, you are not American like a Black American whose bloodlines descends from slaves. It's not the same thing.
Most of America's drama is soap opera bullshit orchestrated by people who are detached from the everyday life in America.
The problems in America don't get fixed, not because we are unable to fix them, not because the everyday citizens don't want to fix them, but because the ruling class in America has no interest in Americans.
Once you reach a certain amount of wealth in America, and it starts at like, 50 million in networth. You are pretty detached from socio-economic and political realities that plague the everyday person in the country. Most of these long sitting politicians are millionaires...and that's anywhere.
There's very few good, stable and rich countries in the world, and despite it's bullshit, America is one of them.
Most humans are shit, therefore most countries are shit. Go there, learn the language, work there and you will realize it's fucked up just like the place you left.

Heck no.... lol
I know like a few tagalog and Spanish sayings and phrases. One thing I wish I did do growing up was learn a different language. I've tried on an off to learn Brazilian Portuguese and more Japanese but, I'm too damn lazy. I will say while in Japan I was retaining more and using more. I knew a guy who really studied though. He knew how to write a decent amount in hiragana and of course we all remembered kanji do to signs and such. Lol
Once I was able to read, speak and write Japanese when I was there , I regretted it.
I was like, Japan is a fucked up place, got damn.

The cost of living is pretty good and the weather is nice. Panama takes American dollars also. Health care is decent, beaches, and both countries openly tru and get foreigners to retire there because it helps the economy

Yeah I was gonna say Costa Rica has been the one country consistently mentioned when I read up on this kinda stuff.
I was already planning a vacation down there with my wife. Guess I’ll be scoping it out for long term too.

Wifey’s from a very dangerous country with very corrupt politicians.
Aint no sense in moving there…. You have that in the U.S.
Might as well stay here.
I visited her country and felt totally safe, though… But, then again, I didn’t know any better.

I dont really mind a culture shock.. but I would prefer if most folks spoke english though. Id attempt to learn the language but would like to fall back to English if I needed to

The one between three and three.
Y'all might remember from the old spot that we were seriously trying to move to Belize. People look like us, it's mostly English speaking, there's a good number of ex-pats there from the US and Canada along with a grip of Chinese. Shit was lookin lovely 'cause the US dollar is twice the Belize dollar, you could rent a giant ass crib that walks out to a pool AND the ocean for the cost of a house-house here in Vegas. Spoke with BTC (the telcom out there) and the fastest internet speed at the time was 20Mbps, which was doable for my work. Everything looked great and the area we were focued on, Corozal District, just seemed perfect especially considering we could drive to Cancun from there in just a few hours and could drive all the way back to the US if we really needed to.
Then we spoke to expats living there...
Shit is def a third world country. They don't really like anybody lookin like they got money over there. You lookin a lil too clean? Clothes fashionable like a rapper's video??? You'll likely get jacked for your shit. Your jewels will make you a target. Cops are corrupt as fuck as is the case in most 3rd world countries and will get pissy if your bribe ain't enough in their eyes. There are gangs in the major cities that make our shit look like boy scouts. Even though we look like them, the moment we open our mouths they'll know we ain't one of them and we're now targets. I heard stories about folks getting their crib ran up in, a chick had a chain snatched off her neck ever so casually by two dudes walking by her crib while she was in the yard, horror stories about folks gettin' hemmed up by the cops until they broke 'em off.
Panama and PR were on the list too, but neither of us speaks Spanish so we were like "fuck that" and ended up moving into another crib here.
