So how does Somalia recognize Malay Federation 1948 as Independence Day? When the 9 Malay state is independence. In 1963 All of the nations that join Malaysia Federation are independence.

It always will be in terms of value. If it ever becomes too expensive, it will get overshadowed by Singapore which to most westerners is more ideal for setting up business, less the government stamp duties.
KL is much better n more safer and people r super nice n friendly n Malaysia is very diversity n people all getting along. I visit every year n love it
Mexico beats them in food, culture, music, geographic location, beaches, modernity, and access to any sort of activity in cities. But yeah, I could see Malaysia being generally safer, even though all it takes is common sense to stay safe in Mexico

Normally peoples talk about bangkok and singapore. They not realise KL really just in the middle of both. Its not only about location and geography, but everything. Medical, Educations, Investments, Economics etc. In short, you got Singapore standard with Bangkok price in KL.
I’m glad you touched upon the visa issue for Mexico. It can be very difficult for nationalities that need a visa. I’ve been straight up told by a Mexican Consulate that my wife should just get a US visa and then doesn’t need a Mexican visa. Years ago when that happened and she is a US citizen now. Likewise it can be difficult to fly from Asia to Mexico without going through the US. Malaysia is a great choice. I still remember years ago sitting in The KLCC Park with my two sons(both now US Army soldiers) playing in the water with the Petronas Towers in the background. It’s a beautiful place and affordable.
Both of them are in the army now?? Wow!! You must be talking like 10 to 15 years ago. In the KLCC pool I mean. Please come back Sir, with the whole family if possible. The park and the pool are still there. Well maintained after all these years. Caution though, you might be overwhelmed with all the changes in the surrounding and the city as a whole. In a good way. Still affordable nevertheless.
@@zaharizak I'm thinking it was 2007.

Thanks for choosing and loving Malaysia 🇲🇾. Since Malaysia’s independence, we only did not recognized a state/country/nation, and that’s Israel 🇮🇱. Even in Malaysian passport, it’s stated clearly that Israel is the only place we cannot access/travel to. We totally have no diplomatic relations or ties with Israel. Even we have diplomacy with North Korea. Until the recent assassination/murder of the President’s own brother in Malaysia soil in recent years ago, that soured both nations’ relations which resulted in the shut down of North Korea Embassy in KL, which initiated by their side single-handedly. Hopefully we could reconcile the diplomatic relationship again in the near future, as Malaysia’s foreign diplomatic policy is always preferable towards having friends than enemies😊
Even though your Malaysian Passport says ....."except Israel", you can actually go to Israel bcos it has no beef against Malaysia. It's up to them to accept you in. There are dozens of Christian Pilgrimage Tours every year to Jerusalem from Malaysia. So who says you can't go to Israel?
You poor thing. Soon you'll find out why it's bad to encourage Americans or Canadians to move to your country. They ruin anything they touch and only care for themselves.
The weather is hot and humid and lots of rain. If you can handle that bravo. (I am malaysian). Also please speak to american expat Andrew taylor to provide more info)
People run around South east asia with 90 days visa (some free , some a minimum amount). That is why they are called digital nomads. Not all are 'rich'.
Mexico has a lot of similar problems as American when it comes to politics combined with very high crime Malaysia is not perfect but its very different .
A close friend of mine (with Asian passport) was recently denied boarding to Mexico despite having permanent European residency, plus UK and US Visas... When trying to file an official complaint about the airline not knowing their own boarding regulations, he received an endless list of paperwork to provide (only feasible if you're idle and not a busy executive). He eventually just flew into Mexico with a different airline, sucked the lost time and money up, and promised to never again fly with the inefficient Mexican airline (Volaris). So just imagine the nightmare of getting all your own paperwork in order, just to have a random airline employee deny your boarding to Mexico because he dislikes your passport. It's a lottery Nomad Capitalist wouldn't want to play.
Malaysia is fantastic. If you’re truly considering becoming a nomad capitalist then why wouldn’t you want to visit one of the best places to be a nomad capitalst? I mean I’ve been all over Mexico and nothing against Mexico but it’s already kind of been there done that. And there’s no point in going to Boca Raton because you’re not going to be living there either.
US Politics is insane. but the current admin is making me rich through my 401(k) equiavlent in NZ. Long may it continue. But as a Malay/Kiwi, yeah i love Malaysia...visit at least twice a year.
KL is a great choice. I have stopped going to PV, Mexico for now. Going through immigrations and customs is a disaster with lines ~1 hour or more. During low season I walk right through. Maybe th new airport will be more efficient.
I’m glad because I’m already spending a decent amount of time in Mexico this year and I was already planning to go to Malaysia for an Asia trip later this year around the same time! I’m curious the youngest guest you’ve had. Only 25 here.
That sounds like an exciting adventure you have planned! We welcome guests of all ages at our events, so you'll fit right in. Looking forward to seeing you there!
I live in west palm beach and can understand why you wouldn’t have the event here. I need nomad on a budget information. Either way you have great information and congratulate you on your success. You have opened my eyes on other possibilities and give positive light on other countries.
I live in Playa Del Carmen and was a little disappointed when I found out your event wasn't in Mexico but Malaysia will be a great experience for my family. When is the event? How much are the tickets? I'm signed up but haven't received any info about ticket prices yet. Thx
How about Colombia? A major issue with Malaysia is flight times over 20 hours from North America. D.C. to Bogatah is about 5.5 hours, you have a home there, and it may be less expensive than Mexico.
There are no central event spaces large enough, there is too much of a language barrier, and it is close or connected to only a very small percentage of the world's population.
The thing about Cancun is the tourists and locals are living in separate worlds. If you travel there you are probably in one of those resorts on that island while the rest of the city is on the mainland.
Oh no please keep Malaysia underated ( Malaysian here 😂 living abroad,bought my properties in KL and Langkawi by accident) and now looking back- was worth the pain.
A Malaysian here. You will love Kuala Lumpur, be it the food, the friendly melting pot of people from different ethnic backgrounds and the sights of a very modern city. Stay a bit longer and explore Malacca and Penang while you are here and you won't regret it.
I agree! This is my first second residency here in Mexico and definitely still working towards my citizenship, however, now that I have that planned and waiting, I think I’m ready to move on to a third residency and possible citizenship. I want to be far away from the United States and explore a European culture.
Hola friend 👋🏼👋🏼 We are 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico.🇲🇽 We love it but we are also exploring our options for retirement. Wishing you all the best. 🙏🏼❤️
Ive been watching your channel for years. Just so interesting and informative video's. The only issue I have is i got sick like 12years ago. To that point im on a week to week living. Unfortunately i dont know any way of brakeing away From this. I worked for 25 years then in my 40is Got sick and put me out of work and early force retirement called disabilitable. Witch if i could i would Love to get off. But with out help there is no way for Me to better myself. But your video's are very informative and i enjoy watching And learning. So thank you Dennis
Mexico talks a big game but when it's all said and done they do whatever the US wants. USA puts a lot of pressure on Mexico to act as their unoficiall border control

The problem with Malaysia is the past 5 years they foolishly decided to screw around with MM2H (but eventually when applications plummeted they backtracked) and they also eliminated territorial taxation and then realized it was causing capital flight and backtracked for 5 years. This whiplash is not good for long term planning, wealthy people plan on 10Y timeframes.
@@stmpo5595 If it can’t survive a change in government without being shut down or totally modified for renewals without even grandfathering in, it is problematic. They still haven’t said what is going on with FSI past Dec 31 2026 which is a little over a year away. People with money need to plan in 10 year intervals, if they want anyone to do the silver and platinum MM2H packages they need to provide at least 10 years and preferably 15 years of certainty.
If Nomad Capitalist Live ever goes to Singapore, Vanuatu or somewhere in the EU one year, I'd love to attend. Too many border issues with KL for those who work in certain fields for certain large businesses - if one's work and their leisure travel are different, countries shouldn't pair the two when looking at tourism or conference entry at the border, especially when the person isn't a Politically Exposed Person.
If you want to spend 6 months in mexico or south america and 6 months in SE Asia, how do navigate finding the cheapest flights so u don't spend a lot of money in round trip airfares and baggage fees? Travel in low season?😮
I've lived and worked in both (Malaysia and Mexico) for long periods of time. Both have plenty to offer. Both have lovely and kind people. Both have downsides. I currently live in Mexico and I love it. But I could just as easily live in Malaysia. They are really NOT competitors.
I have experienced both of the countries, as well, and the downsides of Mexico is just too extreme to bear. Cartel is a big problem no matter what they say. You heard this and that made a pact not to interfere in a certain state, and then the next thing you know, the very same ones making pact is executing the rival in a broad daylight, while said rival is chilling in a Starbucks. Not an isolated issue, as well. My beloveds there lives in a supposedly protected neighbourhood and still there's so many "offing" happening, doesn't matter what time of the year, that can be traced back to current/former drug activity of the deceased. It's common to hear gunshots, too. We don't normalize that in Malaysia, even in the most ghett*-est of places. Plus, in Mexico, even if you pay top dollars for private health facilities, they still send you on a treasure hunt, as if you don't already suffer from the indignity of being sick and disabled (even if temporarily). You went to an appointment in one place, get tested in another, get the result in a third place, then a different place for a different test, then a whole other place for the diagnosis. You also have to get your own prescribed meds from another premise. Best of all, this humbling experience comes with paying for private treatment (rather than using the cheaper ones under the government's facilities). In Malaysia, even the public facility is an all-in-one experience already, and for the money you paid for private treatment? You're getting 5 star hotel level of accommodation, no doubt.
@@shinachikudidnthappen..mov9196 Not much Mexican dare to accept this truth facts They say both is safety & comfort, both have downside but easy to live!! Honestly, bullshit & Liars Of course both country have bad downside, like anywhere & any country have good & bad side!! But as you mentioned, gangs & cartel in MEXICO & ALOT LATINOS (SOUTH AMERICA country) is unacceptable & ridiculous jokes!!! Gangs & drugs cartel is LEGAL AVAILABLE & OWN THE STREET, OWN THE TOWN, OWB THE CITY!!! A whole country, Gorvement & with military support cant fk even solves criminals’ gangs!!! What a weak-ass & correction gorvement!! In alots mexico small city, town & village, if you want move from this village to that village it need locals people help & guide. Ppl say, you have respect them & avoid them then they will let you go freely, no problems!! It not usually happened like this!! I don’t say all areas in Mexico is unsafe & own by gangs, cartels but mostly areas!! This is not happened like that in Malaysia!! Not just Malaysia but mostly Southeast Asia is like that, it safer than Mexico & alots South America country!!
I don't care if you don't have it in the USA. It seems like you talked about the USA more than Mexico. I'm sorry I didn't attend when it was in Mexico City. I can drive into San Antonio and take a two-hour flight.
What do you think about Turkey? I was born and raised in Germany, but lived in the States, Malaysia, then Australia and the UK in the last 20 years. Currently I am in Turkey, but I am not sure about it to be honest. I am thinking of moving back to Malaysia or Spain. What do u think of Spain?
Struggled to get our Mexican residency as well.. like you we encountered a woman who was ornery!! She was pretty nasty, but we finally received it… however the attitude and generally unkind behavior is unnecessary… and common according to what I’ve heard and experienced…thanks for the video❤
The lady at the INM was a little rude when I got my permanent visa in Mexico. After all was said and done, it was not that bad. I have heard horror stories of Americans trying to bring their Mexican spouses to the US and the officials at the US consulates are rude to the Americans that our sponsoring their spouses. That makes sense to me because some times when I cross the border I get a CBP officer that is rude to me and I have Global Entry. It is usually a Hispanic CBP officer that is rude. Why is that?
@@leemartinez2975 perhaps the chilly or downright mean reception at these types of offices is due to one being in the position to relocate to a different country legally while others may struggle to do so. The privilege of that may not sit well with others. Either way I don’t enjoy being mean so I accepted her behavior with a smile.. regardless, I got what I wanted in the end 😉.
Overall the philippines has higher accommodation cost despite having many American retirees there(coz they hide in the remote islands). One youtuber who recently visited kl said cheese, milk is hard to get in the place he live. Therefore, no comfort food for them.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Well, BGC (Bonifacio Global City) Metro-Manila = Miami, where I live! So Miami/Miami Beach based living, with Philippines pricing. Yes, they speak English and were once under American administration.
@bodyloverz30 not many tourists visit philippines , only about 5m in 2023. Probably the least visited compared to vietnam, Thailand, malaysia, singapore, indonesia. It is a fact. Moving between islands may take you 3 days to get serious medical treatment outside philippines , this is a matter of life and death sometimes. Yes the sand and sea is great. But many countries in SEA have sand and sea too. Facilities is lacking eg infrastructure, energy. I acknowledge manila metro is built up eg makati, bgc. As a malaysian, we prefer visiting Thailand and indonesia.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Why are you not listening to me!!!??? I am talking about BGC, and other up and coming areas in Metro-Manila; NOT some far flung islands!
I found your page by accident and within a few days bought your book on Audible. Your content is geared to the financially well off. I found you because for me, my American dream is to make American money and go where I can live the best. I'm not rich and do marking and fund development work. Is my dream of leaving the US for a better quality of life, off for someone like me? Should I be thinking differently? I make $65k per year now but feel like leaving the USA is the best option for my quality of life and to raise kids one day. Question is ... Should I be spending more time up-leveling my income before even considering this?
They say that because there are so few countries that need a visa to enter Malaysia, the Malaysian ambassador’s staff has more free time to entertain anyone coming from a visa-required country. From what I heard, you can get the visa on the same day because all the processes have been streamlined. After all, it’s not even ten countries that need a visa to visit Malaysia LOL, so there are less work for the ambassador staff already…we are very open country tho 😂😂😂 The same goes for passport renewal…based on my experience, I can renew my Malaysian passport within an hour after my office hour 😂😂😂... I can flex this with my international friends LOL.

When trying to file an official complaint about the airline not knowing their own boarding regulations, he received an endless list of paperwork to provide (only feasible if you're idle and not a busy executive). He eventually just flew into Mexico with a different airline, sucked the lost time and money up, and promised to never again fly with the inefficient Mexican airline (Volaris).
So just imagine the nightmare of getting all your own paperwork in order, just to have a random airline employee deny your boarding to Mexico because he dislikes your passport. It's a lottery Nomad Capitalist wouldn't want to play.
Wonder why? 🧐
Malaysia is fantastic. If you’re truly considering becoming a nomad capitalist then why wouldn’t you want to visit one of the best places to be a nomad capitalst? I mean I’ve been all over Mexico and nothing against Mexico but it’s already kind of been there done that. And there’s no point in going to Boca Raton because you’re not going to be living there either.

We do not have diplomatic relationship with only 2 countries. Israel (obviously) and north korea (kim jung un)
Correction. We do have diplomatic relation with North Korea.

US Politics is insane. but the current admin is making me rich through my 401(k) equiavlent in NZ. Long may it continue. But as a Malay/Kiwi, yeah i love Malaysia...visit at least twice a year.
KL is a great choice. I have stopped going to PV, Mexico for now. Going through immigrations and customs is a disaster with lines ~1 hour or more. During low season I walk right through. Maybe th new airport will be more efficient.
Please use fast lanes at klia (g7 countries have auto gates). The lines can be long in klia depending on inbound flights

Hi mr. Andrew. Thx for your info about my country. I think i saw you at shell in johor last year. That was during eid celebration. Thx my brother.
I’m glad because I’m already spending a decent amount of time in Mexico this year and I was already planning to go to Malaysia for an Asia trip later this year around the same time! I’m curious the youngest guest you’ve had. Only 25 here.
That sounds like an exciting adventure you have planned! We welcome guests of all ages at our events, so you'll fit right in. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Agree. Singapore is already on their maximum potential, so it's no brainer to think that Malaysia will be the next big thing!
Greetings! Stay Well ❇️
Well explained
I live in west palm beach and can understand why you wouldn’t have the event here. I need nomad on a budget information. Either way you have great information and congratulate you on your success. You have opened my eyes on other possibilities and give positive light on other countries.
Hey you can do it ! Do not give up ! Many of us are in that boat 🛶 as well . Where there is a will there is a way !
@@ZzXZ636 I am working on it, thanks for the motivation though.
You should hold nomad event here in Mazatlan, Mexico. They now have the largest event center in Mexico.
And better beaches I hear!
Significantly more expensive than KL.
Sorry what is KL?

I will definately go next year if you make it in Asia, from Colombia.
Wow 🤩 that’s amazing!!! I hope to be able to attend one day 🙌
Thanks a lot! Hope to see you there!

Kl is the best kept secret
I live in Playa Del Carmen and was a little disappointed when I found out your event wasn't in Mexico but Malaysia will be a great experience for my family. When is the event? How much are the tickets? I'm signed up but haven't received any info about ticket prices yet. Thx
Come over MrMC.. Don't think twice and you'll soon find out that your disappointment is baseless.
Well done!!!
I'm grateful I got Mexico

How about Colombia? A major issue with Malaysia is flight times over 20 hours from North America. D.C. to Bogatah is about 5.5 hours, you have a home there, and it may be less expensive than Mexico.
There are no central event spaces large enough, there is too much of a language barrier, and it is close or connected to only a very small percentage of the world's population.
One youtuber mentioned only one mountain village is safer than other parts of Colombia. That is near the famous tall palm trees
@@nomadcapitalist All great reasons. Thanks for sharing.
Give Him A Datukship
No.
The thing about Cancun is the tourists and locals are living in separate worlds. If you travel there you are probably in one of those resorts on that island while the rest of the city is on the mainland.
I see.
Oh no please keep Malaysia underated ( Malaysian here 😂 living abroad,bought my properties in KL and Langkawi by accident) and now looking back- was worth the pain.
Do not worry, they will later flock to bali, vietnam or thailand.
@@keangwooichoo6138 true🤣
@@keangwooichoo6138good.. We don't need too many foreigners here!
A Malaysian here. You will love Kuala Lumpur, be it the food, the friendly melting pot of people from different ethnic backgrounds and the sights of a very modern city. Stay a bit longer and explore Malacca and Penang while you are here and you won't regret it.
Probably get flak for this but... the food is WAY better ;)
In order to start a company in Malaysia, you have to be local citizen or PR. How do you go about it and starting a business out there?
Love Mexico, but too many problems being next door to and intertwined with the US
I agree! This is my first second residency here in Mexico and definitely still working towards my citizenship, however, now that I have that planned and waiting, I think I’m ready to move on to a third residency and possible citizenship. I want to be far away from the United States and explore a European culture.

@@destinationmaxmmmm 🤗 hello
Ive been watching your channel for years.
Just so interesting and informative video's.
The only issue I have is i got sick like 12years ago.
To that point im on a week to week living.
Unfortunately i dont know any way of brakeing away
From this. I worked for 25 years then in my 40is
Got sick and put me out of work and early force
retirement called disabilitable. Witch if i could i would
Love to get off. But with out help there is no way for
Me to better myself.
But your video's are very informative and i enjoy watching
And learning.
So thank you

SO NICE outfit!
Mexico talks a big game but when it's all said and done they do whatever the US wants. USA puts a lot of pressure on Mexico to act as their unoficiall border control

Thank you Andrew
The food better
I like the sounds of that. lol❤ Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico. 🇲🇽
I’ll be in KLM April 2025. Not sure when your conference is. Probably not then. But if you’ve got an office there maybe I can stop in.

The problem with Malaysia is the past 5 years they foolishly decided to screw around with MM2H (but eventually when applications plummeted they backtracked) and they also eliminated territorial taxation and then realized it was causing capital flight and backtracked for 5 years. This whiplash is not good for long term planning, wealthy people plan on 10Y timeframes.
It was because of change of government with different political ideology
@@stmpo5595 If it can’t survive a change in government without being shut down or totally modified for renewals without even grandfathering in, it is problematic. They still haven’t said what is going on with FSI past Dec 31 2026 which is a little over a year away. People with money need to plan in 10 year intervals, if they want anyone to do the silver and platinum MM2H packages they need to provide at least 10 years and preferably 15 years of certainty.
If Nomad Capitalist Live ever goes to Singapore, Vanuatu or somewhere in the EU one year, I'd love to attend. Too many border issues with KL for those who work in certain fields for certain large businesses - if one's work and their leisure travel are different, countries shouldn't pair the two when looking at tourism or conference entry at the border, especially when the person isn't a Politically Exposed Person.
If you want to spend 6 months in mexico or south america and 6 months in SE Asia, how do navigate finding the cheapest flights so u don't spend a lot of money in round trip airfares and baggage fees? Travel in low season?😮
Malaysia is safe i going to jogging at 3am nothing happen
asean hv more opportunities and doing more business then in Mexico
*Either you are with us or against us... thats America for you.*
Interesting I am unable to respond to certain comments, which to me proves my point.
I've lived and worked in both (Malaysia and Mexico) for long periods of time. Both have plenty to offer. Both have lovely and kind people. Both have downsides. I currently live in Mexico and I love it. But I could just as easily live in Malaysia. They are really NOT competitors.
I have experienced both of the countries, as well, and the downsides of Mexico is just too extreme to bear. Cartel is a big problem no matter what they say. You heard this and that made a pact not to interfere in a certain state, and then the next thing you know, the very same ones making pact is executing the rival in a broad daylight, while said rival is chilling in a Starbucks. Not an isolated issue, as well. My beloveds there lives in a supposedly protected neighbourhood and still there's so many "offing" happening, doesn't matter what time of the year, that can be traced back to current/former drug activity of the deceased. It's common to hear gunshots, too. We don't normalize that in Malaysia, even in the most ghett*-est of places.
Plus, in Mexico, even if you pay top dollars for private health facilities, they still send you on a treasure hunt, as if you don't already suffer from the indignity of being sick and disabled (even if temporarily). You went to an appointment in one place, get tested in another, get the result in a third place, then a different place for a different test, then a whole other place for the diagnosis. You also have to get your own prescribed meds from another premise. Best of all, this humbling experience comes with paying for private treatment (rather than using the cheaper ones under the government's facilities). In Malaysia, even the public facility is an all-in-one experience already, and for the money you paid for private treatment? You're getting 5 star hotel level of accommodation, no doubt.

@@shinachikudidnthappen..mov9196
Not much Mexican dare to accept this truth facts
They say both is safety & comfort, both have downside but easy to live!!
Honestly, bullshit & Liars
Of course both country have bad downside, like anywhere & any country have good & bad side!!
But as you mentioned, gangs & cartel in MEXICO & ALOT LATINOS (SOUTH AMERICA country) is unacceptable & ridiculous jokes!!!
Gangs & drugs cartel is LEGAL AVAILABLE & OWN THE STREET, OWN THE TOWN, OWB THE CITY!!!
A whole country, Gorvement & with military support cant fk even solves criminals’ gangs!!! What a weak-ass & correction gorvement!!
In alots mexico small city, town & village, if you want move from this village to that village it need locals people help & guide.
Ppl say, you have respect them & avoid them then they will let you go freely, no problems!! It not usually happened like this!!
I don’t say all areas in Mexico is unsafe & own by gangs, cartels but mostly areas!!
This is not happened like that in Malaysia!!
Not just Malaysia but mostly Southeast Asia is like that, it safer than Mexico & alots South America country!!
I don't care if you don't have it in the USA. It seems like you talked about the USA more than Mexico.
I'm sorry I didn't attend when it was in Mexico City. I can drive into San Antonio and take a two-hour flight.

What do you think about Turkey? I was born and raised in Germany, but lived in the States, Malaysia, then Australia and the UK in the last 20 years. Currently I am in Turkey, but I am not sure about it to be honest. I am thinking of moving back to Malaysia or Spain. What do u think of Spain?

Malaysia is a hidden gem and super underrated country ... Ya... Let's us stay underrated, we doesn't want everybody come over 😂
Shout-out to Ardmore Oklahoma
Struggled to get our Mexican residency as well.. like you we encountered a woman who was ornery!! She was pretty nasty, but we finally received it… however the attitude and generally unkind behavior is unnecessary… and common according to what I’ve heard and experienced…thanks for the video❤
I feel like thats how it is not because of the country but because its "bureaucracy". Give me a country that does red tape with a smile? HA!
@@aurorajones8481 true indeed! 🥲
The lady at the INM was a little rude when I got my permanent visa in Mexico. After all was said and done, it was not that bad. I have heard horror stories of Americans trying to bring their Mexican spouses to the US and the officials at the US consulates are rude to the Americans that our sponsoring their spouses. That makes sense to me because some times when I cross the border I get a CBP officer that is rude to me and I have Global Entry. It is usually a Hispanic CBP officer that is rude. Why is that?
@@leemartinez2975 perhaps the chilly or downright mean reception at these types of offices is due to one being in the position to relocate to a different country legally while others may struggle to do so. The privilege of that may not sit well with others. Either way I don’t enjoy being mean so I accepted her behavior with a smile.. regardless, I got what I wanted in the end 😉.

Andrew, I think you should do a future meeting, in BGC, Metro Manila!
Overall the philippines has higher accommodation cost despite having many American retirees there(coz they hide in the remote islands). One youtuber who recently visited kl said cheese, milk is hard to get in the place he live. Therefore, no comfort food for them.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Well, BGC (Bonifacio Global City) Metro-Manila = Miami, where I live! So Miami/Miami Beach based living, with Philippines pricing. Yes, they speak English and were once under American administration.
@bodyloverz30 not many tourists visit philippines , only about 5m in 2023. Probably the least visited compared to vietnam, Thailand, malaysia, singapore, indonesia. It is a fact. Moving between islands may take you 3 days to get serious medical treatment outside philippines , this is a matter of life and death sometimes. Yes the sand and sea is great. But many countries in SEA have sand and sea too. Facilities is lacking eg infrastructure, energy. I acknowledge manila metro is built up eg makati, bgc. As a malaysian, we prefer visiting Thailand and indonesia.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Why are you not listening to me!!!??? I am talking about BGC, and other up and coming areas in Metro-Manila; NOT some far flung islands!
This is for American, British, Canadians, South Africans, Australians, Irish, New Zealanders, Canadians, and other English speaking nationals!

I found your page by accident and within a few days bought your book on Audible. Your content is geared to the financially well off. I found you because for me, my American dream is to make American money and go where I can live the best. I'm not rich and do marking and fund development work. Is my dream of leaving the US for a better quality of life, off for someone like me? Should I be thinking differently?
I make $65k per year now but feel like leaving the USA is the best option for my quality of life and to raise kids one day.
Question is ... Should I be spending more time up-leveling my income before even considering this?
Some countries require a certain amount of income, so depending on where you want to to gouge, you should look into that first
What's the reason you don't have any ads running?
What a shame to hear this about the Mexican consulate in Istanbul
They say that because there are so few countries that need a visa to enter Malaysia, the Malaysian ambassador’s staff has more free time to entertain anyone coming from a visa-required country. From what I heard, you can get the visa on the same day because all the processes have been streamlined. After all, it’s not even ten countries that need a visa to visit Malaysia LOL, so there are less work for the ambassador staff already…we are very open country tho 😂😂😂
The same goes for passport renewal…based on my experience, I can renew my Malaysian passport within an hour after my office hour 😂😂😂... I can flex this with my international friends LOL.
