    I wouldn’t mind living in the philipines as a retirement option. On $1000 usd a month you would live in a high middle class situation, you could very easily as an old single man at 65 find a wife in her early 20s that will love the fuck out of you, give you children and be loyal to your dying day, they are good catholic girls over there. Just be wary of the city chicks but the mountain girls and country girls are generally pretty good, many are virgins or only had one guy

      That's overkill. 1000$ is middle class in central europe, 2-3k is middle class in west europe, 600-1000$ Ukraine/Russia (lol), <600$ in South Asia. Engineers fresh from Uni make 300-600$ in S Asia cities. If you are planning to live outside the city, I am guessing ~400$ for a good life and a decent house rental.

      Just so you know, no S Asian wants to live outside the cities, they are just too poor to move. On the other hand, foreigners really love Asian rural areas. You are not the first person I know who is retiring this way. A work colleague saved for 2 years then retired to villages in Burma.

        Ukraine is much poorer than Russia.

        But yeah these numbers are generally accurate.

        It's actually possible to live in some south Indian cities on a hundred USD a month and not have problems. Throw in tech and you can do OK on two hundred a month.
