Topic: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? - page 16. (Read 7657 times)

I have my doubts about whether prestige is any kind of real issue for very many westerners.. except maybe just some guys might want to be able to easily attract girls to their location, and prestige could help with that question.. but if a westerner is living in a place that does not have very many westerners, then s/he is already getting a lot of prestige (likely even way more than enough) just from the exotic factor.....

Otherwise, it seems to me that picking between rural and urban (or something in between) has more to do with possible infrastructure and security concerns... 

Too much focus on prestige could really screw up a budget too.. .. so in that regard, there might be very similar neighborhoods in terms of their location - distance from infrastructure, goods and services, and one that is within a prestigious neighborhood but then one that is nearby, but just considered part of the normal neighborhood that costs 1/2 or maybe even up to about 1/10th as much.. Now maybe with the $300 per week or the $1,500 to combine all 5 incomes, would permit living in either location, but the quality of life may well be much better if spending less than 30% of income on lodging-related expenses rather than 80% and not having much spare income remaining for spending on other things.

This may be true, I live in one of the countries in southeast asia and indeed as you said for $1500 money you need to at least work in a regular company for about 6 to 7 months without spending a penny there for 7 months to get there. and even if it is used from the salary it means we have to collect this much longer if the target is $1500 into net profit and it could reach 1 year maybe even more.
this goes back to real prestige, if we really want to live with a community that can be said to be a fairly "elite" community, of course, the city is a supportive place to get it considering for countries, especially in Southeast Asia (except Singapore) of course the comparison villages and cities are still very different both in terms of finances and the prestige that is there.

Whatever the reason, I'm grateful for what I've made so far from the signature campaign even though only $50 is enough for the next 2 weeks. In fact, the style and needs of life in different countries. Where I live, I'm still grateful that $50 per week is amazing. If I may be grateful, then of course my current forum creators and campaign managers are people who have contributed greatly to me and my little family. Btw, my first child was born and accompanied by a campaign acceptance from Mr. Hhampuz. I will be very inspired if the name is suitable for my child.

Moreover earning $1500/week, will be my dream in the future if I can join.

I've heard of Ghana, but not Benin--but either way, sounds like you're my kind of man!  Perhaps there might be a sixth slot for someone who's a go-getter and perhaps knows the neighborhood and what sorts of things can be got and where to get them.  Lol.

To each his own of course, but there's something about gated communities that really turns me off, and I'd never live in one (not that I could afford to).  Your point about foreigners being taken for wealthy individuals and having targets painted on their backs is taken, and that's something I'd considered a while back.  While I wouldn't live in a walled-off community, I also would not be opposed to having an excellent security system.

No shit!  I thought drugs were very illegal in that part of the world--but I could be thinking of south Asia.  My grasp of geography and cultures isn't all that great.  Thanks for the info on Zimbabwe.  Currently it's at the top of my list.

Lol.  I don't know where you got the idea of multiple wives from.  Tons of females, yes, but the marriage part I think I'll leave out, thank you very much.

Some information I found about Zimbabwe Mr T P


Generally in Zimbabwe, the reception and usage of crypto currencies is a bit low. Currently crypto is changing on P2P basis and is not the economy's main stream. Zimbabwe government is yet to consider crypto usage.

Currently there is noting like Bitcoin ATM .
There was sometimes (Gorith) a Chinese owned ATM but was closed in fear of money laundering.  But l do believe that currently, it gon work as the government is considering crypto business.

Electricity not that sufficient but everything is well as some with money are going solar. But generally the supply is not that bad but in winter like currently due to increased electricity usage we experience rampant loadshedding.

Yeah you can buy land that's is if you're going as an investor or you're a foreigner with a permanent residents in Zimbabwe.

Security matters a lot, so in terms of areas that might be appealing and hospitable maybe, Harare the capital city since it's a commercial city if you want to business.
For tourism Victoria falls maybe. Also, they're good farmers, fan of cannabis ? Yeah they do grow that and other crop's, you should be a good fan of fruits hmm ?


About getting a parcel of a landed property......It all depends on location and city as well in Harare, the cost is higher than in small towns.

A plot of 1 hectare  may cost as high as $50/m²

In small towns a hectare may cost around $15-30k.

Hopefully this helps, but I'mma still dig down for you! Still want too be sure about some stuffs though!

No. he doesnt mean about having 3 wives or something but rather having a team composing 5 people on doing signature campaign which do earns up on the amount that they could get on Chipmixer campaign which it is basically

talking about on how to sustain yourself and live like a king literally in means of finances on which you could buy most things that you do like but honestly even living with 3rd world countries wont really be putting you up into this
situation since not all would really be that cheap.Lets say you do live on to that place and considers buying a car? It wont really be still a simple goal for you to achieve on.

You don't expect to have 3 wives and each of this wives will have atleast up to three or two children then still want to live like a king with $1500, family like this if it is not too much will consist about 10 in numbers. Living like a king ier is possible for a man with one wife and atleast three - four children in number.  

$1500 is possible to take good care of family of five very well for a man who can think and plan very well how to use money.  I think The Pharmacist is asking if there is any place in the world where a family of five can live like a king,  and not for a polygamous family (3 wives).

Yes living middle-class would be a good aim. I think it's preferable to live in a condo or a gated community if settling in an urban area though. Being targeted for a robbery or worse is a real risk that people seem to forget when talking about moving to developing countries.

It's not that those crimes don't happen in developed countries but being a foreigner, people here would assume you are stacked. Especially if they don't see you going out often to work (coz you are living off the sig campaign). They'll just think you have wads of cash lying around the house.

After reading this post i would refer you to 2 western african countries where you can live like a boss with just $1500 monthly compared to your weekly plans ,In this west african countries Ghana and Benin Republic ,the advantage of this countries is that the economy is good and your $1500 will have 2 times values due to it economy rate ,it will be equivalent to $3000, with $1500 weekly you live in a rented mansion and nice properties all to yourself ,good food and cook ,cleaning staff ,securities,best taxy hire of your choice to any intended destination, In Ghana and Benin republic You experience the best nice life experience with alot of woman and drinks to throw around and still celebrated daily . Every beautiful good looking ladies will love to be around you, making your rented mantion filled with woman of all kind throwing themselves at you everyday partying.
You have total freedom and all the time in the world to face your normal means of making this money ,this countries are peaceful ,security free ,friendly tourist countries .
Thinking of living that good life, dream life ,think of Republic of Ghana and Republic of Benin.

Yes, Nigeria is a place where you can live like a king in some areas with $1500 and you will be well honor and respect through out the months or years you are going to spend in that land. Some of the crypto users in that environment are living a life like queens and Kings because they are making a huge amount of money from crypto investment like people that is working in oil company. Crypto users are living a good life and peaceful life than others business men in the land.

That is correct - in our country too this is a big amount, and enough can be done in it.
If the unnecessary expenses can be cut down - the person can live like a king or queen. Our country food and fruit is very popular - one does not repent coming here.

Some countries $1500 is very big money that can serve somebody with family for two months without asking for money again until the next month some developed countries $1500 is still a money that is helpful but for African countries interior one with that big amount of $1500 shop establishment will commence within three weeks because the money is close or half of a million

Brother man, you have been detailed and tried to encourage tourism to our home land Nigeria. Nigeria is actually a great place to live and enjoy life especially if you are coming with value currency because exchange rate to Naira favours the tourist far more if they decide to frolic in Nigeria.

By the way dollar exchange rate to Naira is $1 to #600 and with that adjustments to the spending and expenses to make while in Nigeria as today, the tourist would have #7 more to spend on a $ as you pegged your calculation on #593.

However, there is a current trend that we also have to put out there just to see if some countries could show helping hand in that. It is about the high level of insecurity in the country. Apart from corruption and bad governance, it has now degenerated to insecurity of life and properties. People are killed at any slightest  meaningless reason.

Very detailed.
You know there is a concept of Airbnb, where host want money and guests want a place. It is win win for both -there you get a good place and cuts off other expenses like cleaning and washing and do the chores yourself and save a lot of money. The app is a good way to plan you visit anywhere - good luck.

When it comes to a place you wish to enjoy your earnings, Nigeria might just be the best for you. Nigeria is the sort of country where the rich gets to merry as they won't and the poor gets to suffer. Everyone tends to accord respect to the wealthy class and there are some pretty much wealthy people in the country. I don't know why you choose to live in a household of 5 roommates but with an earning as much as $300 a week, your directly at the middle class in respect to social stratification and that's all you need for a stable lifestyle in Nigeria. In fact, there are very few professionals in there field that could be boastful to earn as much even with all there certificates. Anyway, let's go down to it.

DWELLING (HOME/APARTMENT)
Houses in Nigera as per rented property and that excludes the property, just an empty house let's say, a 5 bedroom apartment would cost you as much as #2million = $3,483 = BTC0.115. This sort of apartment would come with a minimal packing space for at least 2 vehicles and would be within an estate environment with proper security, light and water supply. Mind you, you don't get to pay for water supply or packing space. Just security and the light supply. The light supply would be prepaid meter and that means, you pay as you consume of which, it would be relativelys stable to about 17hours of daily light supply. Its also necessary to own a backup electricity generator. Every other amenities within your household from water to cooking gas is self provided and no tax on it. Current cost of cooking gas is about #750 = $1.2 = BTC0.000042 per kg.

Your household furniture's are self provided, with each subject to your test and mind you, Nigeria dont produce no technology and as such, the price abroad + import fees + profit levied on goods, which is sellers specific gives us our selling price. You can as well buy and come with it from there and you get to pay for the shipping fee and clear with custom officers down here.

FOOD (DDISHES)
When it comes to food, we've got our local dishes and that you might not be used to but, they are very nice. If your one that loves trying new stuff, you can taste out some continental dishes over there, once particulate with Africa and you would have an idea on what to expect. Our food source is largely, starch, protein and vitamin and mineral salt. We've got some agro based produce too like the pumpkin, watermelon, carrots, garbage, onions bulbs e.t.c.
Pizza is also available and a mega size sells for #5,000 = $8.4 = BTC0.00028 and this is relative to the amount you can get for a good meal per head in Nigeria. Mind you, it ranges below and can be higher based on the restaurants or hotel for which one choses to eat. With common drinks like Coca-Cola or other soda drinks. Should you go for Chivita fruit juice, it cost as much as #1,000 = $1.66 = BTC0.000055. Exotic wines are subjective and mostly imported stuff. So prices applies as stated earlier on imported goods.

MOBILITY
Owing your own car is much better, you only get to fill it with gas and that costs as much as #170 = $0.28 = BTC0.0000095 per litre. The duration and how many litres to go for a day is relative to where ever you are. The difference is in price and traffic experienced while journeying.

OUTING/PARTYING
You've got 2 choices. You either get to go out to clubs or you do whatever at home and your very much free within your own domain. There are not much rules as to how loud you can get, especially on an eventful day. The cost is entirely based on you as to how wasted you want to be.

Note: All calculations where done based on prevailing price in the market and dollar to naira exchange rate which goes for about $1 = #593 and Bitcoin price to be BTC1 = $30,374. Also, all calculations for food and outing/partying was done on individual bases. The rest is relative as such being roommates.

Hope it helps. Thank you!

There are obviously a lot of places that you could live a decent life only with $1500/month and it doesn't have to be a developing or an underdeveloped country. Essentially any country that (1) hasn't been plagued with Capitalism and (2) has good amount of natural resources so it doesn't have to import much (3) has a production based economy (opposed to credit based economy) would have a low cost of living.

But cost of living is only a small part of what you should be looking for if you want to migrate there. I'd say the biggest challenge is the cultural differences. For example if you go from US to Canada, there won't be that much of a difference but if you go from US to Asia then the difference could be massive. That's on top of the language barrier. You may not be able to fit in or accept the new culture.

I'd say Iran is the only developed country with the lowest cost of living. Iran is also among the top 20 biggest economies and checks all 3 boxes (not plagued with capitalism, has high natural resources and is the most independent country when it comes to production of most the nation's needs). Part of the reason for the lowest cost is the exchange rate.

If I tell you my utility bill you won't believe me. I just paid a total of about $4.9 for phone, internet, mobile, gas, water and electric bill. And that's for 2 months not one since bills come every 2 months
But then the internet speed is considered low in Iran specially these days mobile data is bad since the number of users is growing a lot faster than the infrastructure has been able to grow (90% of the 85 million own at least one phone actively connected to 4G).

Real estate cost depends a lot on the location. In the capital the price is ridiculously high, in some cases are higher than most expensive ones in Europe. But if you don't need to live close to work for example, and just want to build a villa and enjoy life in the beautiful 4 season country lower prices could be found.
If I wasn't so busy with my job I would have already bought a land and started building my own modern villa. By my initial calculations, somewhere close to the sea in Northern Iran a 1000 sq meters land and the cost of construction, etc. would be between $350k to $500k.

I own an apartment so I don't have any rent, unfortunately the rents could be very high and would eat through one's salary. I also don't pay any taxes because I live in a tax heaven! So I'd say my cost of living is about $50 a month. Of course that doesn't account for the extra shit I buy. For example I recently bought a new sofa set with handcrafted wooden tables, etc. that set be back a grand.
I believe the minimum wage is somewhere between $110 to $130 a month for workers. But an engineer with masters degree like me is paid from $250 to $500 a month. (I think I'm converting stuff correctly to USD although it's late at night and I'm tired lol).

The medical system here is excellent and the costs aren't that high. In fact this has turned Iran into an excellent choice for I think is referred to as medical tourism.

The food here is fantastic too. None of that genetic crap that has no tastes and induces cancer. 90% of the food is organic and cheap. Since someone mentioned rice above, the top quality Persian rise costs $2.66 per kilo although the one I buy is from Southern Iran with a unique taste and aroma that costs $1.66 per kilo ($16.6 per bag).
Speaking of food here is Iran from point of view of a tourist focusing on the wide variety of foods: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_YfaTnGXmTH6XJOo143UzIXkRLcUgtEg

As far as safety goes Iran is considered more secure than European countries like France or the UK.

But of course not everything here is hunky-dory. I mentioned some stuff I could think of above but I think we could say one of the biggest issues that has plagued the country has been weird inflation. For example real estate price went up 14% this week in the area where I live for no reason
The other problem is of course sanctions since Iran has been the most sanctioned country in the history for the past 43 years. I think we hit the record of 5000 sanctions last month ... woot woot.
That could cause problems at times. For example price of computer hardware skyrocketed but they came back down slowly or during 2019-2020 when the pandemic began there was a lot of shortages which we couldn't import like ventilators but almost all the time this ends with domestic production followed by quality control and finally exports to compete on the global market with a higher quality but lower price product. (We currently export advanced medical equipment to 55 countries.)

I can't think of anything else but feel free to ask.

I am having some troubles with following your response freedomgo.

First you say "in your country" but you do not say which country that is.  Surely, we have also discussed that within any country, also, there tend to be considerable differences living within the metropolitan areas (or perhaps rich areas) and the more rural or suburb areas; however, countries differ too in the level of infrastructure (or even sense of security) that exists once getting outside of the main metropolitan areas.

A second thing is that you seem to be not really accounting that OP had mentioned $6k per month to apply for 5 guys, so $1,200 each... so surely there is a difference between living as an individual versus sharing resources as a group in terms of the standard of living that can be achieved.. and surely OP ended up adding a bit more complexity by adding that variable to pool the resources 5 guys, so I don't really have any problem with the idea of removing that variable and then attempting to grapple with the quantity of income - but at least to recognize that the 5 guys variable had existed in the initial presentation, and it seems to me that the hypothetical would not be even close to the same if we would be presuming that a guy would be earning $6k per month because then the whole hypothetical becomes nearly a completely different set of variables to figure out how some one person might be able to earn $6k per month and still be living in a lower income country while accomplishing that... quite a different kind of guy from my perspective as compared to a kind of guy that would earn $1,200 per month through a signature campaign (and maybe needing to supplement that, if he were to be living on his own instead of having 4 other guys to pool resources).

I quite agree. The cost of living in some places of the Philippines is quite expensive for us Filipinos already to let's say like for example in Manila, house rent may amount to 100$ to 200$ a month for a much decent place plus daily expenses like food, electricity, etc. (btw, I think we have the most expensive electricity in the whole Asia) unlike to provinces that you have mentioned even though electricity is quite expensive food and houses for staycation are less expensive plus the fresh air and all beautiful places it feels like heaven lol. But sig. campaigns still can't make us live like a king even in our provinces but at least have a quite decent way of living. A living where we can eat three times a day and have a place to stay.

The best practice is - go for the minimalist approach - where less is more.
Try to have an organic garden around where you can pick up fresh veggies and save some money. And find money saving ideas to have a good living.

With $1500/week three friends can live anywhere in the world depending on their lifestyle as you mentioned. The focus first should be the expectation of this three persons when it comes to location. Some one can even live comfortably with as low as $300 a week for three friends in any part of the world.
