The cost of living abroad......

[Larry Lobster]

Houses are money pits

I ain't trynna live around no damn annoying neighbor

When I lived in Korea, eating out was the norm for me. I would eat out 7 days a week. Average meal was 3-4 dollars. Buying groceries and cooking at home was something special for having friends over or whatever.

thats my cdn breh

Its not how you live its what you save

shyts not really adding up either. NYC, they demand ur salary be at least 40x a year's rent. $1200/mo -> $360/mo max rent, and thats in a city where u dont need a car to get around. General rule of thumb for buying a home is that with a 20% down payment you can afford up to 5x your salary (and that's really pushing it). $1200/mo->$14400/yr x 5 = $72000. And thats with American mortgage rates. Foreign mortgages have shorter terms and much higher rates cutting down affordability even further.

Not saying brehs shouldnt look into it. But brehs should REALLY look into it. I have family who have set up shop abroad after being here. shyt is not all gravy.

average house in canada is over 400k

cant wait to get out o fthis hellhole

Move to Houston, Brehs.

Where your recently built 1500 sq house will be under $100k and you can still celebrate your culture, holidays, family, language, traditions, technology, and pop culture and afford world travel without sacrifice or debt. No matter what cuisine or culture you are into, there will be several restaurants, associations and festivals for it.

You don't want a beach side view here cause Galveston is ugly as fukk. But with all the money you save, you can rent a beachside joint elsewhere for the vacations.

You're not going to find any apartments in major metropolitan areas like that with beach views & all those amenities for under a million in the US

There are homes for guys like @LarryLobster on the beach for under $300,000 in a lot of places as well.

$200k

We just finished the acquisition of another insurance agency and the owner is taking her proceeds and retiring in Bolivia. I definitely to her because she realizes how much further her money goes down there.

Fully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, doorman building + fitness room on the beach for $413 a month in Santa Marta, Colombia. You can find even cheaper places that are right outside the cities, in both of these cases you'd be able to make around $1200 a month teaching English (25 hours a week), the average Colombian makes $8300 a year.
@blackzeus [.

i could easily spend a couple months a year there at those prices

You mentioned laid back lifestyle in the second post I quoted not real estate and that's what I was speaking on. I thought that was clear guess not my bad but I don't disagree about the real estate at all.

I plan to live in japan and learn the way of bushido to live an honorable warrior life, sipping jugs of sake and wearing kimonos and watching sunsets glimmer off the water with a submissive paag
