      Why you Americans always go to poor countries to rent big houses with swimming pool and try to show off? Its like you have repressed idk that word, when you dont have things in your childhood so when you get money you start buying them.
      But i totally understand because ive been in this place. Got the bag at age 19 spent it all like a dumbass and ended up on the streets ten yrs later when my money ran out. Anyway, nowadays i learned my life lesson. I wouldn't rent a 300$ house in asia. Instead i would rent four bamboo walls and leaves as roof for 100$ a month. And use my flip flops to smack a cobra snake in the toilet in the morning when i need to pee.
      Gee, i changed a lot.

    I was in Vietnam last year for one month. It was dirty and the locals were very ill-mannered. I travelled the entire country by car. I recommend one of the provinces in the Philippines.
    I’ve visited Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan and Korea. Most women in Asian countries aren’t any different to the west. It seems that way initially, but once you spend enough time there you will see it’s no different. Western men are willing to sacrifice on looks and social class with Asian women, in the hopes that they will be more humble and modest. But I’ve seen the opposite these days in Asian countries. Even below average women are incredibly arrogant and dismissive. Because there’s a ton of local after them, so their egos are through the roof. They will only seem interested in foreign men because of money. All that most Asian women care about is money, they are looking for a provider not a lover. A woman must first have her financial needs and comfort provided in childhood. Otherwise she will spend the rest of her life in survival mode. She can’t think about love or having a healthy relationship. Many of these girls work everyday and can’t even afford 2 meals a day. They see foreigners coming to their country staying in hotel rooms, and they become very envious and resentful. Although they may try to hide that from you.
    I recommend European countries, where most of the women had a decent upbringing. A person must have something of value to know how to treat something of value. Hope this helps.

Also, Vietnamese have a very low tolerance for weird, old, fat Westerners looking to do the same as they do in Thailand and the Philippines. It's their country, not yours. They dont need you. Vietnam's GDP is growing 7-8% year over year. Compare Manila to Saigon. 🤣

      It’s temporary. China went through that stage 15 years back. I live in both countries, and you need be very careful. The water quality in Vietnam is getting like chinas, and cancer is spreading. Lots of corrupt Chinese companies setting up in Vietnam, and will get much worse. Corruption is rampant, and street food is a major risk of gutter oil in both countries. If you want to eat safely, you have to pay premium for imported from Korea, Australia, etc. easier to do in Vietnam, compared to China (but it’s expensive regardless).

      Believe it or not, the locals do a good job sweeping the sidewalks where they live and keeping them clean. The real problem is that dumping and littering is common place. If there is an unused lot, someone is bound to dump garbage there. People don't think twice about throwing plastic cups into the streets. Recycling bins are non-existent. If there are fines for littering and dumping, I'm sure they are rarely enforced. It's a pity that the Vietnamese are not more mindful about environmental issues. Maybe in time that will change.

    One of the things is he’s young and not looking to retire there, from what I’ve read, they don’t have a retirement visa in Vietnam and make a “ visa run”🏃‍♀️ every three months, leave for a day or two and come back and start it all over again. So that kinda puts it on even par with the Philippines as far as overall cost and the Philippines has retirement visas and Thailand does too , Cambodia has a retirement visa program (1 year with renewals every year) . As far as women go, like the host said hundreds of times , especially for us older men, go get in the best possible shape you can before going whatever you choose. Like someone said here , All women, wants a provider, even if she isn’t relying on you, just the ability to provide, just in case ( lost job/wages, having your baby) and if you’re planning to retire or live in a particular country, look and dozens of content creators and look into the place and research. For me after looking at the situation ( for me ) it’s probably the Philippines but because of the visa requirements/ situation in Vietnam.

    I'm looking at getting a retirement visa in another country, so I'm looking at different sites, including consulate and embassy sites, to see what the minimum age and wage requirements are.
    I'll be turning 53 in December. I spent a summer in Colombia in 2017. I may not choose that country because there are better options, even cost-wise. At the most I'd go to a McDonald's or a Burger King once a week. To be honest, even when it came to burgers and fries, the local options were a lot better. I ate mostly Colombian and TexMex there, including a lot of street food.
    Nowadays we have the internet, so we can make money remotely. Success won't happen overnight or even with the first way you try making money online. The sooner you can start, the sooner you can get free from the rat race. You don't want to wait until you're my age to go somewhere else. Who knows if Social Security will even be around in 10 or 20 years. Best to leave America before turning 35 if you want to start a family.

Everything is cheap, expat project wages high, people avoid confrontation culturally and it is a beautiful country (Indian ocean beaches, Zanzibar, Serengetti, Kilimanjaro, the fertile Mbeya region, a nation definitly open for business (you can smell the opportunity, like SE Asia used to feel). Plus, I married a traditional younger woman who is off the scale beautiful (family asked if she is a model). Before that, if I wanted, I could have slept with "10's" daily and still could if I was so inclined.
      I was in Switzerland and the UK for Covid then came here. The difference was stark. So much easier and free here. The best private boarding schools here are about 4k USD a year, for everything (not the international schools). Your business networks suddenly become a higher level, I know A list local celebrities, heads of national public departments, and people connected to the President. Can't do that quickly as a regular person in the West. The regular problems of Africa exist, but I love living outside the West.

    Great video review about Da Nang Vietnam--looks like a great place to visit & retire to. I also really like you demonstrating one method for making money online using AI for T-shirt designs. Many of those designs looked cool & I could see myself wearing them. I think not knowing the "how to" of money making online holds a lot of people back from making the move overseas, especially when they don't think they have any marketable skills.
    I started my investment hobby about 2 years ago (high yield dividend stocks) and added to that stock options trading during the last 11 months and now make enough from that to live overseas. Now I just need to get my health back to normal & make a long introductory trip (6+ months) to the Philippines and possibly other SEA countries before making a permanent move to SEA.

    Getting a cheap motorbike is easy in Vietnam. You can pick one up for a little as a few hundred dollars. You can buy a new one for $1000. However, if you do buy a used bike be careful not to buy one that's stolen. Also, there are many cheap Chinese knockoffs that you should stay away from (the "Honda Win" comes to mind). These bikes are not only unreliable, they can be very expensive to repair because replacement parts are hard to find.

  • @TravelLoverForLife
    @TravelLoverForLife 2 місяці тому +1

    It is unfortunately very hard to get a long term residence permit in Vietnam. That is part of why it is so inexpensive. You also have to factor in political risk since Vietnam is nominally still communist. The current Vietnamese government is pretty solid overall, but the lesson to take away from China post-2012 is that the centralized and opaque single party structure in nominally communist countries centralizes risk. All it takes is the ascension of an incompetent leader or a true believer ideologue ike Xi Jinping for political conditions to rapidly get worse. Also factor in the increasing pollution levels in Vietnamese cities due to heavy manufacturing moving there from China. I think the Philippines, Thailand (less than 6 months per year to avoid the new large capital transfer tax), or Polynesia are better places to live long term, though Vietnan is worth a tourist visit.
