Being rich in the 3rd world

I am a Canadian. Retired. Lived in Colombia South America for 3 years. I left there because I could not speak good Spanish. I spent a short time in Thailand. Thais hate foreigners and you have to leave the country every month to renew your Visa. I now live in the Philippines. Here most Philippinos can speak some English. Everything is posted in English. Women here are very different than Western women. I love the asain eyes. View attachment 19831. I rent a new and very nice condo for only $125 US a month. My internet is $25. Fruit and fish are cheap and fresh. You do not need gold jewlery or fancy cars to attract these women. You have the WOW factor if you are a foreigner. Most of these girls love foreigners. If your fat, ugly or old it does not matter!
View attachment 19833 I love going for a walk early in the morning at the boardwalk. In the evening there are hundreds of people walking here. You can meet girls here really easy.

There are lots of foreigners here in Dumaguete City. Lots of places to meet and lots of things to do. I bought a little 125cc motor bike here for only $750 US. View attachment 19834.

If anyone wants more info on the Philippines or Dumaguete City just PM me.

That all sounds great and all but most filipina women are tiny and have no ass/breasts. Not really my thing to be frank with you.
 
I live in South-Africa Here the average salary is about 1k usd(R8000+ zar) per month. Rent, Fuel and everything else is expensive. You need to make atleast 1.5 -2k per month to make a decent living here.
 

Here is an interesting documentary on Brazil and why so many Americans (particularly black Americans) go there.

I live in Indonesia, but I'm Chinese, and only 2% of the total Indonesian population pay tax.. Magical..
 
I have to disagree. I live in Belgrade, I am employed full-time, making 300 euros per month. And I still live in a rented apartment. And many of the people I know are i the same situation. People here are very, very poor and the wages are minimal.
 
My experience. Depends what you mean by third world...there are 3rd world areas and conditions everywhere which can be more dangerous than "developing" countries
Equally, there's always an elite and their supporters who have more money and wealth than the average westerner could ever dream of.
If you have money, you dont walk the streets - and everywhere looks ok from your private gated compound or the only 5* joint in town
 
Even if you have fresh shoes in some hoods 'round here, you're in hot water. We had a kid stabbed at my high school over some new forces a couple years back.
I wore busted shoes there so I didn't get robbed lol.

If you are even rolling in a 2005 plus anything in DC and you are of the Caucasian descent do not stop at stop lights after 5pm. Those are just atms for city folk.
I know some parts of Chi-town and BMORE are the same.
 
it's all relative really (if you make local money and spend locally). But if you make good US dollars (as an example, and relative to US citizens) and live in most part of Asia - you'll feel like a million dollar.
 
Well, I live in a third world area and the only rich here is the f*cking politician and businessman because they pay an average of 100$ per month for each worker. That's why I want to have a life with enough money for me and my future family :D
 
Once you have made your money, simply fly down to Thailand and settle there :) !

You may choose Phuket, Pattaya or Bangkok based upon your taste of lifestyle.

Simply love the Thai way of life.. Be happy, Make others happy :)
 
Third world I a really large word. Thousands of kinds of third worlds

I gotta say I don't like that you are measuring everything with money. This is the reason for the S*** we living in now days. I'm from Egypt, Traveled a lot , seen a lot of culture and have the money your are talking about. I would never exchange my country for any other country in the world. Because there is only one Egypt in the world..

Money helps you to fill your body needs.. let's say eating, driving, security and clothes. So, you go to restaurant to eat and pay 200$ while others barely eat for 8$. Guess what, both of you are not hungry anymore.

I don't care if I drive Ferrari or Lancer, Eat for 200$ or 10$.. It's whom I'm eating with (Friends or Family) what makes it worth it.


If I was looking for a car, I started driving since I was 10. I never needed money for myself. I like my house, Car, food and have more than enough

One last thing, I barely cry when I see a child sleeping in the street and can't find something to cover himself from coldness. I hate when I see old people sent to Elder-home and their children abandoned them. I hate to see men who sleeps with a girl, make her pregnant and just leave with no one questioning him.

Lucky for me, We have nothing like that here ( Really rare occasions and It's against the law and traditions ) and this is why I love my country. It's a warm secure feeling you will never know no much how money you will make.

So, What am I doing in BHW ?!
Thought it's pretty obvious, Making money to help as many people who need help as I can.

PS : Hate this post, revealed a lot about my own life which is something I don't really like
 
I'd like to step into geopolitics for a minute.

There is a definition of this first, second, third world thing, which is rarely brought up and defined, due to what I like to call "1984 syndrome." You see, back then, the second world was always untouchable, moreso than the third world even. Parts of the second world are *still* untouchable for US citizens, by law.

First world refers specifically to the Western, capitalist, democratic bloc. NATO and the British Commonwealth comprise most of it.

Second world refers specifically to the Communist bloc: everything behind the Iron Curtain once upon a time, Communist Asia, Cuba. Nowadays you could look at BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) as the main power alignment for this world, even though not all of BRIC has a Communist style of government, and is therefore classified with Third world.

Third world refers specifically to those countries which are part of neither capitalist nor communist bloc. The countries of the Non-Aligned Movement represent this world currently, as do parts of the BRIC alignment. Historically, these countries tend to be used as pawns by the first and second world, and this continues to this day as Eastern Europe transitions from the second to the first world, and BRIC and NATO squabble over Mediterranean protectorates like Libya and Syria.

I don't want to put anyone down but I have no idea what it is like in some of these countries.

If you are from a poor section of what the USA calls a third world country and you successfully blackhat then how do you explain it?

You walk outside with cash in your pocket and people could be near starvation. I live in a moderate area and when I pulled up to my house in a borrowed Jag people snubbed me and treated me like I thought I was God when it was just a Jag.

So anyway, whats it like where you live?

You don't have to go to the third world for this to be a problem. Most people I know here in Monaco dread driving their sports cars into France because chances are you'll have your car keyed or mirror broken off if you park for a few minutes. The combination of Monaco plates and an expensive car is not a good combination in a financially troubled world.
 
I'm brazilian and i live in Brasil, i don't know if Brasil is third world, since we are the fourth largest economy of the world (surpassed the england)
I live in a relative good zone, my father is a federal cop/agent who earns equivalent to US$9.000,00 monthly (US$7.000,00 after taxs).
and my mon has a manufacturing industry.

I have the goal of marrying some East european christian girl, i alredy got my own apartament and farm, and i made equivalent US$2.000,00 montly with internet market, do you guys think i have a chance?

You seriously live in Monaco? How can you afford it?
 
Malaysia/Thailand/Indo/Vietnam = $0.30

If you have high expenses, you just have to make sure you have a high income too :)

No, seriously. It's mostly the rental costs that are high here. But I just regard those as a "tax". Instead of paying tax and rent, I just pay rent. Or as I see it, I get a free apartment with my "tax".
