@otisandarch: I spent years trying to make the math work in San Diego. $9,000 every month just to maintain my life. Now I live in Vietnam and my total monthly expenses are around $1,400. I'm not saying Vietnam is perfect. Every country has trade-offs. But changing where I lived completely changed the pressure I felt every month. Same person. Different math. 📍 Da Nang, Vietnam

We’re moving to Greece at the end of the year for the same reason. We’re going to be able to retire early there. The food, the people, the weather, the VIBES?!? Unmatched 🥰

I hate that Americans will move to these affordable countries and raise the prices like they've done in Mexico.

Keep in mind you still have to pay US federal taxes if you live in another country unless you renounced your citizenship.

Am the same age as you are. Wife and I already left the U.S. for the same reason. We spend about $1500 a month and we live very comfortably on that amount.

Why does $1400 even sound pricey to live there, like you could live on that in the US once upon a time too.. Inflation has hit everywhere. 🥲
