In what country can I live well on the American dollar? Can I buy a house with 20K?

[stalkerforlife]

Thinking about leaving the country to make my US dollar go farther.

Can I live really well and stay safe elsewhere with the US dollar?

Can 20K set me up nicely elsewhere?

It's a step up

In my country your 20.000 would be like:

100.000-150.000 while buying house
16.000-17.000 while buying imported products (phone, notebook etc.)
35.000-40.000 for food
100-000-150.000 for services (cleaning house, barber etc.)

A barber costs as much as a house? 150.000 at the high end? Damn you must have some talented barbers there. Can they do a good bowl cut?

You'll be back once the welfare check stops coming in.

[tpols]

youll have to actually work and do hard labor to survive any place a dollar is that inflated. :roll:

All the countries that have generous welfare benefits would require you to actually have a skill to go to that country...to ensure you don't need welfare benefits.

The countries that are cheap don't have the same quality of life you would experience in the US and you wouldn't get any welfare benefits anyway.

Most of South America is very affordable. However you better hope you don

I mean you would buy a small apartment in my country with 20.000 dollars, it would probably close to what you buy with 100.000-150.000 in USA.

If you buy 20 'X' brand, 'Y' model notebook in USA with 20.000 dollars, you could buy only 16-17 of same notebook in my country. Because they are imported to our country, we did not produce it.

If you have 2.000 meals with 20.000 in USA, you would probably have 3.5000-4.000 similar meals with same money. Because food in USA is cheap.

You probably pay 25-30 dollars for a haircut in USA. You would pay 5-6 dollars in my country. So, you 20.000 dollars would be like 100-000-150.000 dollars in my country.

Probably no better options for you than the US since you have a family

If you were single it'd be different

I've actually read that book. It's pretty creepy.

Even if you Were really into your classmates work. A single major just doesn't quite get it done.

you just managed to confuse people even more. LOL

alright, so, check it. I'm assuming the country you're talking about is the Philippines?

First of all, it's confusing people when you type 20.000 dollars, because in the US, anything after the period (.) is change.

So 20.000 looks like 20 dollars.

Whereas you are typing it instead of a comma. So you mean 20.000 = $20,000.00

So, lets make sure we're staying with a consistent comparison.

So, you're saying $20,000 US Dollars will get you $150,000 dollar house?

and you're saying you can get $150,000 worth of haircuts? lol. but why?

one of the misconceptions is that even 3rd world countries have pricey digs...

You can look in this country and live in Kentucky , and be a king.

Countries - an ex-co worker that lived (born) in Columbia told me US dollars can make you a king in that country....

It all depends if you want to live where poverty is rampant or people envy you and want to steal from you.
