[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you lived in S America? Or Latin America at all? I have, and went to school with many kids who were sent to US by family for safety. High net worth in many countries is a kidnapping concern. You need extra security and bodyguards. It’s really unsettling…and expensive.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Mexico, BR, Arg, etc, but with high net worth they’d be no-go’s for retirement [/quote]

Sorry my op was a bit all over the place -

I was illustrating that I don’t find the us that different than SA except for better economic opportunities…

…so for people/families that have hit networths of 5-10 million, why aren’t they buying their way into specific European towns with high QoL like the ones I mentioned

[/quote]

Because most of them have never lived abroad. Most of them don't know that the QoL can be better in these countries. Most of them have been fed the narrative that the US is the best country and best place to live in the world. Why would they think of leaving what they consider the best?[/quote]

_+1.  Sad to say, but this is true.  IMHO, many white Americans who've been in this country for generations think that the USA is the best country in the world.  But they have not done much international travel at all.  Sure, in the 20th Century, America was pretty great.  But we have so much crime now and so many shootings.  Sure, it's a great country in which to live if you're UMC or higher.  But for people who are MC or below, I think that Europe provides a more dignified existence.[/quote]

There is no place better to live as the USA.  Best with money; still true without.  There are not many shootings --- there is really nothing wrong.  The idea you can go somewhere better is nonsense.  [/quote]
