We will throw in a couple million just for leaving to make it more appealing.

Where would you live and why?

[wildcat09]

somewhere on a beach. its pretty self-explanatory. if i ever go to hawaii again i am not coming back.

Interesting choice, why?

[el borracho]

Costa Rica, Spain and Belize are my top choices.

Costa Rica is especially appealing because it is beautiful and relatively unspoiled (small population, lots of national parks/ reserves), it is inexpensive, it is stable and has good education (no military so the money goes to education). Costa Rica also has attractive beaches, live volcanoes, cloud forests and excellent diving in both the Pacific and the Carribean.

[MOhillbilly]

Interesting choice, why?

cause i can do the things i like and the Govt. supports them.

[Goapics1]

Jamaica. I love the heat. :fire:

Costa Rica.

Friend of mine is retiring and moving down there.

Young Hot women. Like rich Americans, on water beach.

Close enough, but far enough away.

I have 2 clients that moved to Costa Rica and a 3rd that will be on his way in the next 3 years. The last guy was going on and on a hotel he stayed at where they had alligators and a river running through the middle of it. He said the owner laughed and said something about you could never have this in the United States your attorneys are running the whole country over there now.

I'd consider Norway, Canada, New Zealand or Australia.

Yeah, it is a bit wild down there. My girlfriend and I were there in January. We went all the way down to Bahia Drake and stayed at a "hotel" on the beach near Corcovado Park. One evening we went down to the beach to watch the sunset and naturally stayed to skinny dip while the tide came in that evening. Only after we got back to the "hotel" did we find out that the river outlet at the beach that we had been swimming in was home to bullsharks- especially at high tide when it is easier for them to swim upriver looking for food.

Someplace where I could be away from traffic, congestion, basically anything that reminds you of time or to hurry up or anything like that.

No, obviously it's a popular subject too. I need to start doing my homework I would like to get out of here in the next 10 to 15 years. By that time they should be giving tax breaks to people with a lisp.

[RedThat]

Probably somewhere in Europe. Maybe Italy. Somewhere where it is much more socialable, and a bit laid back. Knowing that I don't have to work as much. Here in North America i think we work way too much, and get taxed heavily for it. I don't like the feeling of knowing that I am living to work. I'd rather have it be the opposite, work to live. And I would select a country that would compliment that.

The best part for me is that our business is basically classified as Internet hosting and our customer's monthly payments are small enough to be beneath the radar. They'll pay us outside the country and I'll get nearly every dollar they pay. That means it won't take me nearly as long to get the Mil or two that I want to have before I retire.

I also agree with several of the people here who are expressing a desire to chill out. I want to go somewhere where the sun wakes me up and the moon puts me to bed. I want to walk in the mountains and meditate by a stream. I want to be an hour's drive or less to a large city so that I can go to a restaurant when I want but I don't have to be involved in the city. I don't want cable TV, I probably wouldn't even have a TV if my wife would allow it.

I'll probably purchase the land and start building the home two to four years before I plan to move. Depending on how it all goes and if I find the right land I might even buy earlier than that. That will give me PLENTY of chance to learn the local language. Of course I'll have several visits to the country before I buy, so I don't forsee it being an issue.

Bottom line is your too young to have seen this progress. Did they teach boxing in school when you went. Was archery a class you had? How about slaughterball did you ever play that? I know it wasn't a school approved activity but how bout smear the queer?

My godson is in school now. Besides having homosexual pride week where they all wear rainbows stickers and they also teach him that he may be a queer. On top of that any physical activities in physical education that could show the physical dominance of one child over another have been removed. This liberal movement is also the one that's after anything alpha maleish from guns, hunting and rodeo's right on down to dog legislation. These are facts. You never got the chance to experience the world when you weren't being force fed this liberal horseshit. It's not your fault it's just the way it is.

This is really not the direction I wanted to go with this. I hope we can move on now. I really want to hear about all the great places out there I can start looking at.

Going to play Zach's game? You get an F for creativity. You can't even come up with your own material. I am not a victim I just hate this liberal mindset and will eventually leave because of it.I don't have a clue what "Zach's game" is. You've just been complaining more than I remember lately. And that's fine, we're all free to do that and I don't really care. Just seems weird; you never struck me as being like that in the past, you always seemed to be more mellow. I guess I just missed all the "I hate libbies" rants. I don't read the political board, so if that's where the "Zach" thing is from, I'd be clueless...

My vote would be New Zealand. Always struck me as an awesome looking place and I dig their accents. Somewhere in Asia, too, maybe. I just have this thing for asian chicks. I don't ever see myself living anywhere out of the country, though.

[morphius]

well i was over there to play in a small college all-star game against the french national team (american football). at the game they treated us very well. away from the field they were very rude. i think french people are just rude by nature. even to their own people. i think they feel the same about us.
Had an Political Science instructor in college say that the French can't even like themselves, how can they be expected to like anyone else, when asked about the poor US French relationship.

The dog legislation the liberals out here are pushing through really has me on edge. The things they are proposing are truly scary. Pretty soon I will probably have to keep my dog in the house and not even be able to take him anywhere to get in a workout. I was ranting through my whole workout about it last night at the gym. I probably shouldn't post while I'm like this. I always got along with psicosis really well before, that's a pirme example of just how testy I have become. Still doesn't change any of the facts I posted though. Because of this recent legislation I will probably never vote for democrat again. I have just had enough of this whole pussification BS. I look at Europe and I see our future. What a terrible thing to happen to such a great country.

[keg in kc]

Well, I look at it this way. There's a lot right with the US, and there's a lot wrong with the US. On the bad side, I think the problem isn't so much that we're being "pussified" but that we've become so fat and happy (soft, maybe, so partly what you're saying) and we don't care or pay attention to what's going on around us or what's happening to us. And less and less people think for themselves; we're basically being programmed by TV and radio news conglomerates. I think we're really...comfortable, for lack of a better word, as a group of people.

I also think that we need a complete overhaul of our government, because I think it's corrupt at virtually every level, all this including a re-working and modernization of the constitution, but I don't expect that to ever happen.

That's about as political as I get, though. I don't think anything's going to change until people wake up and start thinking and acting for themselves (I mean normal, everyday people). And I think that while there are problems here, this is still the best place in the world to be. But I've never really been anywhere else for any length of time, so I'm biased.

Not yet. I'm dying to go to Iguacu falls, though. Almost went when I was in Brazil a few years ago but ran out of time and money. I think Argentina might be one of the South American countries with a large Italian immigrant background but I might be misremembering. :shrug:

[BIG_DADDY]

My old neighbor is from there. His whole family came out here when he was young. He is considering going back. He says this country is not the same as it used to be. His kids are trying to get him to move to Idaho the last few years he's here. He's like IDAHO? ROFL I don't know what the hell he would do there considering he is charge of the fueling of all the jets at SFO.

I need to start learning more. One of the partners here has been checking out his options for awhile and Panama is one of his top 3 picks. We continue to see executives retire down to South America though. I have to take some time to travel around there.

Is it safe to live down in places like that? Panama, Central and South American countries?

I'd definitely consider this if I were super rich, but I dont think I will ever have the problem.

That's the whole dealio. You don't have to be super wealthy to live like a king down there. 1 Mill basically and your living like a king in most places for the rest of your life. Servants and the whole shabang with a great house and nobody trying to micromanage every aspect of your life while taxing you into the ground.

There are some places that are far safer than others. I have heard great things about Brazil, Costa Rica and Argentina. Panama is supposed to be very stable and affordable.

Interesting. Obviously I would want to avoid a place like Colombia but I wondered what else that part of the world was like.

I have worked with people from Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela, and all of them came here under the guise of making a bunch of money, saving every last time for 10 or 20 years, then going back home to live like a fat cat, like you said.

Speaking of beautiful women, the guy from Brazil was married to one of the most smoking hot women I have ever seen on earth, without a doubt. Dude was about 5'0", at least 10 years older than her, bald, a complete dork, everything. If they make them all like that, I am moving down there!!

There was this Colombian dumb ass that used to sell health club memberships for me I hadn't seen in years till one day I am at this taqueria and he walks in. I'm like "hey what's up Alex" He gives me this blank stare. "I know you from somewhere he says" sounding all stupid. "I would think so" I said, "you worked for me for years" Anyways he goes on to tell me about a trip he took to Brazil. He was loving this salsa bar he was at big time. There were tons of hot women in there. He is telling some guy how much he likes the place and the guy apparently was the owner. He said if you like it so so much why don't you buy it? When he asked how much the guy said 10k. He pulled out his check book right there and bought it. He had lived down there for a few years ever since and said he would never come back to live here. Making great money and has a very hot girlfriend. I'm telling you this chick was smokin and he is a complete dork.

The northeastern coast of Australia. Townsville - nice little community close to the beach.

It's tropical and I have family living there.

[Rain Man]

Northwest Australia would be kind of cool. Talk about not being bothered...


I've visited Tasmania, and it's spectacular. I don't know what the government environment is like, but if you want to live in a place that's a throwback to an earlier America, Tasmania might be the place.

It's amazing how someone as big and aggressive as Troy can play the whiny victim so well. That's real talent.
He whines as much as anyone on the board. Oh well, I find that, and his obsessions with me fun these days.

As for the rest of the thread I think London would be an enjoyable place to be. I would be interested in Austrailia as well.

Funny thing is I was talking to pops about this and he just laughs. "A real simple life for a real complicated person, interesting" He thinks I would go stir crazy within 6 months. Lil momma totally agrees with him as well. I don't know maybe they see something I don't. I sure would like to give it a shot though.

There's something about moving to a laid-back place that would be nice. I've occasionally pondered what it would be like to move to Tahiti and start up some sort of resort. I'm ... uh ... a little short on funds to do that right now, though.

I've got a neighbor who is a nice older lady, and many years ago she and her husband went to Tahiti on vacation. When it came time to come home, she didn't. She divorced the husband and did the Gaugin thing, working as an artist, and stayed in Tahiti for one or two years.

In a side note, she's probably in her 60s or 70s now, and she rented out her house a couple of months ago and headed down to live in Costa Rica for six months. She's emerging as my hero.

[go bo]

Interesting, what's the deal with Samoa?south seas tropical island between tahiti and new zealand...

warm/hot year round with lovely cool sea breezes (it's not a very big island - well actually there are two larger islands and several small ones that make up samoa...

cost of living for the most part is very low (except for american style consumer goods)...

and best of all, my wife is from there and there are a kazillion relatives there...

and i really enjoy the old fashioned culture thingie...

i'm already a matai (like a chief sorta), so i would fit right in...

of course, i still don't speak samoan, but that doesn't matter as everyone on the island is educated in english...

i haven't been there myself yet, but someday i hope to go...

and once i get there, i'm not coming back...

The Costa Rica theme just keeps coming doesn't it? The client I was talking about earlier that is moving there in 3 years is a very good friend as well. I will have to check out the area when I visit him. He has a friend there already living on the water. He said the guy didn't have that much money when he left but it was enough to get a good property and have some money left over. Apparently he got a little bored so he started fishing 3 days a week and sells all his extra fish to some of the local restaurants. Doesn't sound like a bad life. I think I could occupy my time with training, cooking and hobbies.

Good question: Prolly Argentina or Brazil. I was in Brazil a couple years ago and it's a wild, liberal place but you take a wrong turn or get off on the wrong stop and you're a dead man.

Never in Argentina but I hear it's better as far as crime and overall development is concerned.

If I don't have to work then we get into a whole other realm. Prolly live far outside the big city in a nice little piece of paradise.

Couple days in the sun and brush up on my Spanish and I'll fit right in.

Do you know anything about gun legislation in South America? I can't find anything on this subject. I know Brazil outlawed them and then changed their mind but I have no idea how it is in different areas.

I thought about this some last night, and I think if I could pick anywhere to live, I'd start with a year or two on the moon, and then go on to Mars. This is assuming, of course, that I win a $200 million lottery and then turn all that into billions and billions through wise and lucky investments. That would definitely be my dream in life (seriously). Well, the living on the moon part, at least. I don't even buy lottery tickets. Figure this is the one dream I'll never reach.

Doesn't sound bad.

I've heard more about Costa Rica as a foreign retirement place than any place other than perhaps Mexico. I guess the government there is a stable democracy, and the country doesn't have the problems that most third-world countries face. It's also a pretty short plane ride back to the States if you need health care or other goodies.

I will very seriously consider a foreign country when I retire. My wife is currently not in favor of it, but I've got another 20 or 25 years to convince her.

The scariest part to me is the corruption in these other countries. I'd hate to plunk down a bunch of money for a house and then just have the government take it so that Pancho and his boys can have a party house with Michael Irvin. Of course, they seize property with increasing frequency here in the U.S. too, using eminent domain, so that's becoming less of a concern for me in moving.

I think you will see more counties catering to this type of person. As the baby boomers increase in age and look for affordable places to live and bank without being taxed to death. There are many areas that are stable now. I still wouldn't suggest moving all assets out of the country though. You should always keep enough here to cover your ass in case of a major problem. If America continues to try and micromanage everyone's life as I believe they will it will be refreshing to those of us that remember how America used to be to get back to a climate where everyone mids there own business instead of being in everyone else's too. I know I look forward to that as much as anything else.
