Being rich in the 3rd world

I often also feel tempted when I hear of the possibilities for people with money in those countries.

I also found out that you can buy cities in asia where you actually decide the laws completely on your terms!

Now that is power!

I remember when I was little when Argentina went bankrupt and I asked my dad: "dad since they are bankrupt those it mean I can buy argentina?"

My dad replied: "Hmm hard to tell maybe"

Me: "How much do you think I have to pay? $1?(note it's my currency converted to dollars almost)"

dad: "Narh that's not enough"


Me: "Okay $4-10.000 must be enough then right?"

dad: Hehe well you got to pay the dept also and that is very much(can't remember if it was millions or billions)

And since then I have always wanted to own my own country. Where I decide!

LOL That country you talking about better not have oil in there or else it will no longer be yours.
 
It is great living in "3rd" world country (Serbia), bitches.
We eat 3 kilograms of fresh organic fruits and vegies every day, we dont have polution, you can walk in the middle of the night not being afraid somebody is gonna kill you or rape your gf, with what I earn online I can live a dream and with the same ammount of money I could only eat greasy cheeseburgers all day long in the "1st world country", I wipe my ass with 1st grade toilet paper, I can go to most expensive restaurant and have the best dinner ever for $30, first class meat,organic vegetables, first class french wine/german beer and first class service....yeah it's really scary in my 3rd world country.
I would never trade my 3rd world country for your "democratic paradise" where black people had to sit at the back of the bus 40 years ago.
 
You are racist or how do you explain this?


You quoted a post by me from 3 years ago, and no I am not racist, I just don't like SOME countries... And if I could move anywhere in the world I would choose Thailand or Singapore :)
 
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

What about Crime Rates in Egypt ? Shits been through the roof the last 1-2 years....
It used to be a GREAT destination like 10-15 years ago for partying and even living but now with all that Religious/Political Stuff going on? No thanks

Yep :) Same in Bulgaria but its a bit more expensive... A good dinner for two is around 45 to 80$ depending on where you eat and what you eat. But a regular restaurant 20-25$ is enough for dinner for two..

Also don't forget the fact that you can buy 3 Bottles of Jack Daniels/Vodka Absolut/Johnie Walker Black label + 15 mixers for less than 160$ in a top night club and get shitfaced drunk with 10 friends :)
 
Its like living the 3rd world dream mate !! :D Great+cheap food/nice people and doesn't matter how low your income is it somehow feels like you've earned enough :)
 
I am not in the third world, but I know they can make good fortune in their countries
 
Malaysia/Thailand/Indo/Vietnam = $0.30

it's $0.0625 here in Dhaka//Bangladesh
 
Wherever you go, unless you are in a very wealthy neighborhood in a very wealthy city (think mayfair london, or chelsea, or tribeca in NYC) it's best to hide your wealth as much as possible. Showing it off in any way will call attention to you and make your life more difficult.

The more you can make yourself blend in, the better, wherever you go. There isn't really any way around it.
 
A lot of people on here are from India and do well, wonder how they work out. In the USA jealousy reigns. I've been spit on in a poor section while wearing a suit.

Maybe you shouldn't have tazered anyone who crossed your path.
 
Am I the only one that would rather be a big fish in a big pond (the US) rather than being a big fish in a tiny swimming pool? Obviously it's much harder but still...
 
A large cappucciono at Starbucks is 5 US$ in TH or Malaysia. Quality living IS expensive in good areas, because you pay a large premium.

General rule in the US: If you can find multiple locations of a store easily, it's rarely worth your money.

Are there parts of the world where Starbucks is seen as quality? You know that wealthy Americans would buy that $0.30 cup of coffee in a little shop in a foreign country, and then brag about it being the best cup of coffee they've ever had, even if it was terrible?

Thing I've seen around the world is that the less wealthy who want you to believe they're 1% (read: try-hards/fakes) and the egotistical/pseudo-wealthy (read: BMW drivers) are SO MUCH more flashy than Americans who can, most literally, buy and sell those lives and families. Hopefully this will change when the rest of the world is more used to wealth so visible wealth loses it's panache.

I think most of the world that is coming into more wealth now is experiencing what the US did in the 20s/70s, which means there will be obvious public displays of wealth and lots of luxury and partying, with a global depression to follow (that the US will try it's hardest to get out of by making the world pay. China is in terrible shape, they know they're unsustainable).

The world would do well to learn one thing: America wants to feel special/unique/elite and hates tag-alongs. The more you want to emulate Americans, the more they will laugh at you among other terrible things and further exclude you from the Club. If you take ownership of your own culture and make it exotic/eccentric/sexy/high-brow, Americans will want to act like you and will respect you as they have historically. Americans are curious animals who are trying to develop their own culture, so help them along by sharing who you are instead of what you have.

PS. About BMW drivers, seriously, look at some clown doing something rude or stupid on the road. 3/5 of the time it's a BMW driver. You know this is true.

Zzzzz don't buy at Starbucks..
I'm talking about local restaurant.
 
Yeah living in third world country is terrible. I dont pay tax for my online income and no one makes a fuss. People dont eat hambuger here because food is fresh and cheap.

Oh the other day I saw on TV they sent reporter to Greece and Spain interviewing homeless and unemployed people. Oh and people dont have guns here, they cant just walk into school and shoot children. Of course you have to deal with some inconvenience like you only manage to get iphone 5 (fully unlocked) a week after U.S.
 
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 :)

Amusing to read this as i fly back from Patong to Europe in 6 hours...
No, really, it's fucking awesome, but there are some serious motivation issues. I spent 4 months fucking around ( in both meanings of the word, if you catch my drift... ) - everything is so cheap, weather is perfect, people are nice. Days and nights pass quickly, then at the end of month you realize that in 30 days you worked maybe like 7 hours top, and earnings dropped considerably.
Definetely place i'll be coming back to, but you need stable, trully passive income to live like that.
