I’m disabled and don’t have much money. President Trump is the best. But he can’t make America great again without first throwing the “swamp” in jail. He must freeze assets of Soros and Obama, Clintons. In short, finding “swamp” guilty with no punishment so they keep plotting is putting his and our lives in danger. 200,000,000 Americans dead in short time, rest slaves. Gotta bug out now. Elite attracted to money, so stable, humble country might be best. I just want to live out my days in peace, don’t care about getting rich.

Okay folks, opinions I appreciate, but I’d like the real ‘skinny’ on Ecuador, or anyplace where I can live cheap, see an ocean (Pacific preferably for it has no memory) I do speak Spanish, but am an old dude, apolitical, and prefer to get along with the native population. Does S.E. Asia fit anywhere? Visited there once on government pay – did not like it then – But Thailand looked good.
Thanks,
Rip

Tired fighting, & losing for decades to obumacraps, & free-stuffers, I might pass lovely Italy also. Too much debt, like America, is destroying their future. More unrest just a matter of time. Spain is being conquered ‘again’ by the Jiahadies, while their lib-tard leaders still fumble. South Africa IS a crime-ridden, STD infested, economic, basket-case; why the Obamas love it so ! Thailand could be worth the stay, but STD’s, esp. AIDS!, are rampant, often due to the nation remaining a key center of the drug crossroads. Hard to say who will win in France, the french, or the Jihadies. Germany is a mixed-bag of choking taxes/regs, Jihadies, and crazy extremists, like the Greens, though parts of rural/small city Germany remain attractive.
Both Australia, and Switzerland profile entrants, which explains peace, & normalcy. Though don’t expect to defend yourself very well, in Aust., if a criminal strikes. Switzerland is -very- expensive, unless you know some bypasses. The Philippines can be very good, but over-crowding/traffic/pollution, when you finally find the right medical care/item you need to have, buried in the middle of town, are issues. Crime, because you are a ‘rich’ foreigner, does target visitors; long & short term. However, if you go through the red tape/taxes, you can own small arms there. (If Red China strikes, you may need something). Argentina was always a favorite, since spanish is one of my tongues, but economic ‘quakes’ are still too frequent, often violent. Again, the gov’t. just spends citizens’ money ’til the next ‘crash’. Northern Japan could be very good. Do think how close you are to current thugs, Red China (seaborne abuses) & Russia, (air & sea), w/ a retreating/neutered, America. Cavhorse

This article really needs to be updated. The world has changed greatly since 2009.

Why is Canada not on the list?

Here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where I live, there are around 100,000 expat Americans in town.

I’m a bit blown away by Buenos Aires being on the list with information that it’s one of the cheapest cities for expatriates. I was an exchange studenet in 1996 in Buenos Aires, and everything was very, very expensive. Maybe things have changed or maybe I was just in the wrong part of town. No way I could have afforded it if I’d not had my scholarship and stipends.

Any comments about expats in Belize? How safe is it there? And how expensive. Would be interested in a modest home on the beach somewhere…any suggestions?

To all of the MURIKANS complaining about how dangerous mexico is…. you are all over-sheltered pussies and on top of it you honestly believe all of what CNN says. Seriously, i’ve lived in mexico ALL MY LIFE. Those beheadings are usually between drug dealers vs other drug dealers. They are NOT normal people. Worrying about that is like if I as an american had been worrying about CRIPS VS BLOODS shooting the shit out of each other or thinking that DETROIT is what all of USA looks like.

All of you lazy Murikan babboons want to be spoon-fed by the entitlement paradise you have there, when all it does is promote idiots to reproduce who NEVER ever take any kind of risk because they all live in a bubble.

THAT is why am an expatriate, i PREFFER looking after myself and know that if i make a mistake it’s my fault and only my fault, and the government is NOT MY NANNY.

I am so glad i left HEDONIST, ENTITLED, LAZY-ASS USA.

This list is fucking hilarious. “English-speaking, BBQing, beer drinking Australia has a lot to offer the American.”

If you’re looking for places that are nearly identical to the US, and are rating them on what they have to offer you; do yourself and the world a favour and just stay at home, order an extra-large pizza and watch the game safe in your smug confidence that the world loves you.

James, every time I see Mexicans they’re babbling to one another in Spanish, but I’m somehow a bad person if I’d like to speak English in a foreign country?
