ARE you in Brazil now>and where do you want to move to?

where do you get the idea we subscribe to Dunken donuts?
We will miss our STarbuck coffee,AMZN prime free shipping,Netflix streaming,low Walmart prices and 1-800 phone calls ,we are cheapskates who want to pay little and get a lot in return.
This is not going to happen in most countries !

There are many places OP can move to ,as she/he speaks not just English,but Canadian,Scottish,Irish,Australian,New Zealand,.
In Singapore,it is either Chinese,English or Indian(Tamil,Hindu) ?
English is also a second language in some countries such as China,Philippines.
I suspect Argentinians speak Good English as they have stashed away mucho dollars in cookie jars,pantry,basement,safe,shoe boxes,how did they manage to find these dollars,by SPEAKING ENGLISH TO THE American tourists!
And lets not forget India,they speak English very well

But one must adjust to local customs ,there are reasons why standard and cost of living are both lower.

we pay higher taxes,there is fed tax,state and city income tax and sales tax.
if you own stock,whch pays a dividend,there is double taxation,the company pays tax and then pass on to you and you pay tax again.
there is also property tax.
If OP is serious about moving to another country,go to Youtube,I have watched people posting how they move to mid size town in Mexico,or Istanbul,Portugal,Costa Rico.

I wouldn't ask the average Aspkin member, many of them are North Americans who have barely left their own state before. Many of them are so consumerist that they would cry because they are missing their gadgets and devices back home, and the fact that they won't be using their subscription to dunkin doughnuts

You can ask me some questions in PM, the gold information will be available on consulting calls though.

I've been travelling for 15-20 years and lived in various countries

US cost of living is not related to high standard of living , it is not high in the US anymore but the cost is A LOT bigger than when it was high

it is simple ripoff with overpriced real estate , healthcare , taxes and much more. people are getting poorer and the same time being flooded with crime , drugs and illegal immigrants

I think that the most important thing when we go to another country is to try to learn the language, with movies and day-to-day shopping or living a normal life.
The people of the country where you move to if they hear you speak their language, sometimes a little badly but they will understand that you want to learn it and they will pay attention to you and maybe help you,
we should never stop learning things and languages
