In Brazil, Thailand, Cambodia, Gran Canaria, Argentina, Vietnam i stay in good neighbourhoods where tourist rent a hotel room for 100-200 usd a night. Most of the youth also has better education than the generation before. The Americans here now complain about the strong pesos, many have to move to cheaper parts of Mexico to be able to retire.
Don't need to live like a king. I prefer i don't have to work till my retirement age (69 in Holland) and die soon after. But travel the world before i am in a wheelchair. You can't buy more time.
Europe is nice, but only in summer 1-3 months.

Im talking about to not forget to include all factors in the math, not that it's not better or cheaper somewhere. Sure even in every country itself u have different areas with huge differences. In the end it is important what u want in your life - not everyone need more than 3 months summer, not everyone want travel all the time. Also children are a important factor and the own age.
If I would live somewhere nice and cheaper than our area in europe, then yes I may would also think about Thailand and such things. But not Somalia, doesn't matter how cheap it is.
Just do what makes u happy - this is the biggest value.
