You can not and will not live 'like the locals'...
Being poor in your own country is a lot different from being poor in a strange country...

Absolute truth.
I see too many guys come to Asia on a shoestring and they literally end up living like a poor local, which can be pretty bad by western standards. Yea, you can live or retire cheap, but at the cost of the quality of your life. Doesn't make sense.
Which brings me back to my first post of having a local business that covers all your expenses so that if _______________ happens, you're covered and don't have to live in poverty or go home. There are a lot of business opportunities abroad if you keep your eyes open.
