Do you mean receiving $1500 a week? This is a huge sum of amount that can even buy a clean car in my country. This is a luxury pay and even if it is the total pay of family of five, it's still good for the whole family. For you to receive this kind of pay my country as a work, you'll have to be a manager or probably a politician.

There are lots of things you can do with the huge sum of $1500 in my region, like it can get you a plot of land maybe in a remote area. You can leave a luxury life here with beautiful babes if you are a bachelor. So many things to acquire with such amount of money.

WOW!  But Turkey is out of the question for reasons you and I both know.  I've no grievances with Turks, but I doubt any Americans are going to be moving into a Turkish town and trying to roll around like bosses with cigars, booze, women, and whatever else the Chipmixer funds can buy.

This is exactly why I said there are way more serious reasons why you shouldn't consider turkey Cheesy I mean it would be financially possible, I am doing it myself and I can tell you that its not too bad, I am in full time crypto and trying to earn any buck I could and have been a content writer for almost 6 years and never worked in an office, pure crypto content writing including signature campaigns as well and I have been living a decent life. But I am turkish, so its where I am from, for you? I would stay away as much as possible Cheesy


I agree, its also not really "possible" to live with just signature campaign, even if you have a legendary account, because the "possibility" and willingness are different things. Could you live and not die? Yes, but that is no way of living if you ask me. I make over a grand every month, just a little, you could say I make 1k, and even with that I have nothing left, and I "live", there are people working for 300 bucks a month and they survive, they do not live, they just simply stay alive, those are different things. Living like kings requires more like 5k a month, which you could really live like kings for sure.

Good thing is, when the dollar was low, the prices was low, so I was capable of living the same exact life 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 3 years ago, and even today, yes life became more expensive, but dollar went up, so my wage got up, so I am living the same exact life as I did for the past 4 years.

Well I can honestly (and sadly) confirm there is like 20-30$ difference left between my signature campaign gain and monthly wage in Turkey. And I am working in a guarenteed job which can be said that paying at average level for Anatolian cities. It is so sad that Turkey became like this, in past retired wages were more than 500$, many people was getting paid more than $1000 at least like 10-15 years ago. Now 1000 dollar is like a dream for many new graduated people. Especially costs are increased and even if you make 1000$ you won't feel that safe. Anyways, with forum income of legendary account, you can 'survive' if you don't pay rent.

Well depends on the signature campaign isn't it?

-snip-

There are waaaay more serious reasons why you shouldn't come here though Cheesy

Surely average signature campaigns are enough for the good life, but living like a king is an open-ended definition. You can have a life above the standard of living of ordinary people. It wasn't like this before. Especially in the last 6 months, the rise in the US Dollar/Turkish Lira currency has caused this. Not so long ago, last November, USD was half of its current price. I remember when Legendary accounts earned less than minimum wage. So this may be a temporary situation. Just don't rely on it here.
One thing is for sure, the opportunities in crypto are endless.

The country is geographically in a very beautiful location, but political actors don't let people breathe. Even if you have money, you lack many freedoms, including freedom of speech, which is a valid reason not to live here. To put it simply, it's forbidden to access many sites without using a VPN. It's forbidden to pass many products through customs or there are very expensive taxes. As you said, buying a house and a car is next to impossible because of taxes. The healthcare system is very expensive. Public officials are corrupt. The refugee problem -almost 5 million?- is huge etc. It's enough to have an ordinary life though. If you are not a luxury lover, you can live with signature campaign money.

Since in essence, the value of currency is relative per country, you could say that participating into campaign signatures are privileges that our citizens seek. Having that convenience of working online and at the same time earning/investing is a blessing to everyone in our country.

I bet it is, given what you've said about the average income, which pales in comparison to what you could make in a decent sig campaign.  So assuming the climate and cost of living boxes are checked off as far as the Philippines goes, is there a possibility of buying or renting a very large house that's free of insects, has stable electricity and internet, and isn't going to be a target for local gangs (I don't know if there are any, but I'd assume a bunch of foreigners in a castle would be eyed with suspicion if not outright hostility.  That could be said of many countries.)?

Oh it is definitely possible! To give you a concrete example, my cousin rents a two-storey house in which he pays around $300/month. The place is semi-furnished and the house is located on a relatively safe village where security guards patrol the said area.

In addition to the said house, my college friend rented a condominium unit (kindly refer to the image below) in which he also paid roughy $280-$320/month inclusive of association dues in which the said unit is secured by dozens of security guards everywhere. It also has a pool, public amenities, etc.





Quote
Also: do houses in the Philippines typically have basements--or do basements exist there at all?  There are parts of the US where basements can't be built, so I know they don't exist everywhere.

As far as I know, houses that have basements are usually owned by people who are living above the median household. Of all the houses that I have visited, I have yet to see a house with a basement.

Thailand? Where you can lead decent life for $6000 per month and probably can live like a king as well
Thailand might be a good choice as far as climate goes, and I'd certainly consider it on that basis, but $6k/month for a decent life?  Hell, I could have that right here in the good old US of A if I had that much income.  Lol.  I don't.  That's why my semi-fantasy crypto paradise castle has to be located in a country where the cost of living is cheap.  It doesn't sound like it is in Thailand--and I'd be able to eat just fine for $10 in the US too.

This is the trouble, if you already have stuff that's fine, but when you want to buy it, with the signature campaign, even on the best one, you would be doing badly.
For the purposes of this thread (and speaking for myself only), let's assume that I have pretty much all I need already in terms of possessions, which I'd bring with me to the castle.

Which means that you could earn 4.5 times more than what a minimum salary worker could earn, simply by working on chipmixer and nothing else.

I think first word country people need to travel a bit and realize how cheap living could be.
Some do, and I certainly would if I had enough money.  Unfortunately I don't, nor do I have anyone to travel with (sadly).  I'd love to check out India and the surrounding countries, and some countries in South America as well--Brazil and Belize in particular.

I believe you should consider South East Asian countries, which are typically third world countries such as the Philippines, where the cost of living is low because renting a small boarding house here was around $40/month (this is a decent one, you will have your own room a shared kitchen and bathroom), renting a whole house here is mostly $200, with the bills sometimes being free and also wifi depending on your landlord, but the problem is very low salary, with the minimum wage being only $1.25 an hour. I saw a lot of Americans visiting our country because of the climate and also they knew that Filipinos are very accommodating to visitors.

Like what I also previously mentioned, the cost of living in the Philippines is relatively cheap compared to other South East Asia countries. Unfortunately, the minimum wage of our country is around p537.00 (~$11)/day and majority of the people are below the average income median. With this in mind, lots of tourists visit the country in which there are also foreigners who migrate and live in this country.

Since in essence, the value of currency is relative per country, you could say that participating into campaign signatures are privileges that our citizens seek. Having that convenience of working online and at the same time earning/investing is a blessing to everyone in our country.
There are places on the globe which does have big conversion of their local currency from USD which it would really be looking that big whenever you do really earn on USD value and since we know that signature campaigns does really have good rates thats why it would really be that normal that people who do live on this areas would really be focusing on getting a slot.
You wont really live like a king but you would really be having a decent way of living in terms of finance but of course we know that campaigns shouldnt be treated as main jobs.

I cannot be sure as the level of comfort varies from one personal standard to another.
Well, you read what I wrote as far as cock-of-the-walk standards, and I probably should have included buying some sort of luxury vehice--not a Bentley or Rolls, but a slick Mercedes or sporty BMW would do just fine.
A high standard of living and luxury vehicles at the same time even in poor countries is not possible, especially when we take 5 people in account. You can make saving alone and it would even take years to buy luxury items but I think you misunderstand some aspects of product prices in poor countries. For example, if Sporty BMW is worth $40,000 in Germany, its price will be slightly lower or higher in other countries, even if the country is diving into poverty because you know, the product is sold to the highest bidders and business doesn't know empathy like this: Oh, this country is poor, we should give our cars to them at cheap prices.


There are many problems that you may face in "Cheap Countries":
  • High rate of corruption and nepotism
  • There is a high chance that crime rates are higher than in developed nations (I don't mean the USA)
  • Language barrier (especially in post-soviet countries if you don't know Russian or the local language)
  • The different culture of having fun
  • Not all cities/towns in poor countries have GYMs or swimming pools.
  • In countries where major society lives poor, everyone will chance to rob you! Believe me!
  • Streets may be dirtier with bad public transport (if any)
  • You may become a victim of racism and it will be far more visible than it's in your developed country
  • It may be hard for you and those 5 people to make friends.
  • There may be serious stigma around Drugs in the society and you may find it even very hard and expensive to get them.

Seriously, there are things that we don't appreciate and don't understand. Everything has a price, different one but the rewarding ones always cost more.
You are either lucky and born in Switzerland or life sucks!

I'm a senior unix system engineer with 2 masters in a developed west european country and i make about $3500/month.
The sad fact in Europe is that people in IT industries are paid very low compared to the USA market and our tax rates are just insane, I know it has its huge pros compared to the USA but things are mandatory even if you don't need them or aren't afraid of them and you can't improve yourself, you can't become rich. You can just live a happy normal life but if you are ambitious, just forget it.

There is really none, and people forget that living like a king is relevant to where you are. If you think that you could "live like a king" in Zimbabwe or Venezuela, you are forgetting the main reason why they are poor, it is not just lack of money in the people, its lack of "stuff". Do you really think that you could go there, and buy a ps5 that easily?
Well, I didn't state it outright but I'm making the assumption that I would bring all of my possessions with me to wherever it is I can wear my crown (lol).  And I'm going to make a further assumption that if I needed something like a PS5 I could buy it online and have it delivered.  Am I wrong in that assumption?  I don't know if Newegg or Amazon ships to Zimbabwe or Venezuela, but I can't imagine those countries don't have people buying stuff online.

I'd love to go to Zimbabwe, by the way.  I've read stories of the bush and its climate, and a lot of that appeals to me.
The main problem here is not the fact that you can't buy online, maybe you can and I do not know. But the signature campaign doesn't pay a lot. Even the best one right now has like 1200 dollars this means that they are going to allow you to live like a king in the regular sense, but when you want to buy like a PS5 then you gonna spend 300+ dollars, plus a high tax probably because you are in a bad nation, so maybe half or over the half will go there, there are nations (where I live) that will take literally 2x of it as taxes, so you would pay 900 for it.

This is the trouble, if you already have stuff that's fine, but when you want to buy it, with the signature campaign, even on the best one, you would be doing badly.

OK, that sounds nice as has many of the other suggestions I've gotten here, but you and everyone else neglected to mention the climate.  Our campaign castle must be located in a place where the weather is good (and I mean warm and precipitation-free for most of the year) in addition to all the economic factors.  I know how it goes in most of Europe, Africa, and S. America, but I'm not familiar with the climate in most of Asia (except for Russia, but only parts of it).  It's important to me.
I haven't back read all of the pages but if you're concerned about the weather, to give you an idea about the climate in our country Philippines, we're a tropical country and right now we're in summer. So this usually happens from the month of March up to the last week of May and then starting the month of June there go the rainy days. As per statistics of how many storms/typhoons come into our country, it goes by the estimation of 20 per year. And starting from "ber" months, September to December there goes the cold/windy weather, not actually cold but this for me is the best season and it usually extends up to the month of February. So playing in the calendar, if it's about the typhoon, it's unknown where it's going to hit unless it's already inside the PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility). It's always being reported if a typhoon is seen in the Pacific Ocean approaching the Philippine Sea. So if you have to consider staying in here with that budget of $1500 for 5 pax or $300 per pax/week, as said by others it's already that much and one tip, choose the place that's actually flood-free. Fortunately, I'm in a flood-free place. There are now some rural places that are being developed near the metro of each part of our country (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao). The central is found in Luzon which is the NCR and there are cities in this region that are prone to flooding, well, most of the floods are like reaching your knee for some normal rains.

Come live in Nigeria, with such earnings you'll be treated as a mini god here and to add to it, if those 5 individuals are white, you get more god-like privileges. I believe some of my country men must have broken down the cost of living in the country so I won't have to go into details but do know that, with such earnings, you can afford to live comfortably in one of the most secured and protected state in the country which is our capital Abuja. Yes Nigeria don't have constant night but not everywhere, with that kind of earnings you can get yourself a luxury house in any of the estates located in the Federal capital of the country and have access to good road, constant light, sucurity, healthier hospital etc.

Abuja is the ground for luxury lifetime and you'll neighbors to most of our celebrities and important figures.  $1500 is #877,500 in Naira based on the cryptocurency rate which is 585 Naira per dollar (yes that's how bad it has gotten). This means you'll be receiving 3.5million monthly which is higher than what 99% of the citizens in the country are earning. You could also live comfortably in Lagos with same privilege but that state is crowded and you'll have to spend more to have same comfortably as living in Abuja. Example, you'll need a private jet for easier movement because the road are always crowded due to over population. $1500 weekly is a big money and if anyone from Nigerian was to get such privilege then they're set for life.

God is great
Nigeria would have given a fair luxury if production quality for local product was stable enough. In this part of western Africa we have decline in quality of finished goods due to high cost of production so many resort to producing in quantity to meet the demand other than quality.

This will likely warrant spending in dollars other than the local Nigerian Naira so it will be more like spending more to get the best because you will still have to pay for importation fee except one will decide to settle for an average life but for luxury or even a menial comfort you will spend more not because the exchange rate is too bad but the quality of product isn't matching up the inflation rate

$1500 for a companion of five people living in a well furnished room can be possible but you will only spend more if you insist on quality. But nevertheless there will always be reservations and savings but bear in mind that quality is not a normalcy and is gotten a rare case of strict demand

Not just only in Nigeria, but anywhere in Africa $1500 is a lot of money that even some government senior civil servant don't earn up to that as allowance.  This money can be used to get good apartments and buy a good ride within 4 months. Such allowance can yield more income in place like Nigeria or Ghana if invested in business to get a piece of land to build rented apartments because this two places in africa is a place to live well enjoyable life because the fast growing economy and the good weather conditions. 

$1500 for allowance is a reasonable amount of money for a man to live as a king with is family, and if it is well spent and invested very well it can turn one to be a young millionaire within some some years.

Sir, come rain come sun,the weather/climate is always warm, you don't really need heater/warmers innnit.
Like I said earlier on, I don't know how quick you want this, but one thing I'm sure of is that you can get a four bedrooms for nothing less than 33, million naira at Lekki phase 1 Lagos state here in Nigeria, the security there is high despite the insecurities in Nigeria.

Buh if the above mentioned is not fancied, then you can get a plot of land there, get a contractor and get a the mansion, chateau hacienda you have up in your head over to the contractor. But this will sure take time before it's completed, might take 8-9 months.
Cost of leaving ain't too high, and you can get whatever meal you want, since you're American I guess.

 Well depends on the signature campaign isn't it? What is the highest paid one right now? Chipmixer paying around 300$ per week?

 Let us do a calculation.

 300$ per week for 52 weeks equals to = 15,600$
 Divide that to 12 to see per month
 15600/12 = 1300$ per month

 The minimum salary legally is 4250 Turkish Lira here. Which is 289$ as of today. That changes constantly because dollar keeps on rising. But let us take that into consideration.

 1300$/289$ = 4.5 times higher.

 Which means that you could earn 4.5 times more than what a minimum salary worker could earn, simply by working on chipmixer and nothing else. Obviously crypto is filled with chances, there are bounties, there are airdrops, so you could earn something more in the end.

 However, if you are looking for something more serious, the avarage is usually 100$ per week for legendary. To calculate that

 100$per week for 52 weeks = 5200$ total.
 5200$/12= 433$ per month.

 Which means in a nation with 289$ minimum salary, you would be able to make 433$ per month. Not bad of course, definitely better than %50 of the nation. Plus your income is in dollars which means that even if the nation does worse, and everyone starts earning less, you are still making dollars so you should be fine. But it is also not "like kings" as well in that case.

 The taxes here are super high, a car that is sold for like 10-20 thousand dollars in the USA or the UK could be as much as 100k here because of the insane taxes, or houses that you can rent for 200-300$ would be sold for $250k here. Aside from those "big" purchases, regular life should be fine for sure. Not great, not a lot, but "fine".

 So I would say that Turkey is a place where you could definitely live without a problem if you owned a legendary account. You will want more, its never enough, its not going to be enough to make you happy, but you will not be living badly, there are like 40 million people living worse than a regular legendary account owner, and maybe like 60+ million people living worse compared to someone who is enrolled to chipmixer. So you would definitely be doing fine even if not like kings.

 There are waaaay more serious reasons why you shouldn't come here though Cheesy

Pack your stuff and take a week off to visit Indonesia, I can guarantee you will enjoy life like a king if your current monthly income is $6000.  Grin

There are many small towns in Indonesia that have friendly residents for them a tourist, I think that's justified because I'm sure some forum members have also been to Indonesia. Also you can choose a place where the weather is like you want. Are you interested?

Where you can lead decent life for $6000 per month and probably can live like a king as well, have you heard of Pattaya walking street that is one of the place where every men wants to visit. I watched lot of vlogs you can get decent suite for yourself or couple for $50 per night means $1500 for 30 days but if you are going to take a rental home that is going to be lot cheaper.

And I had seen even you can complete your meal for a day in less than $10 from vloggers so that is my pick. Cheesy

Uh, you might have wanted to cite the source you pulled that info from, because you left a piece of end-quote code in that post that indicates it came from elsewhere. 

If you choose an agrarian country as a place to live, like the average Southeast Asian country, you will get many choices of cities with low basic needs.

My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property.
Democratic republic of Sao Tome and Principe is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial cost of Central Africa. If you are looking for a place to live as a king, I bet you this country is your best option. 1 USD is equivalent to approximately 20,901 Db, $1500 should equate 31,351,500 Db. If you are looking for a place to live quietly and really comfortably, this is your best bet.
Although, there are other African countries whose exchange rate with regards to dollar is really. Countries like Nigeria with an exchange rate of 570 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 855,000 naira although on the black market, although its official exchange rate is 415.72 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 632,580 naira. Kenya with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 115.05 shillings and $1500 to 172,575 shillings, Sierra Leonean Leone with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 11,874.82 Sierra Leonean Leone and $1500 to 178,230.59 Sierra Leonean Leone etc.


Being a citizen of any county have mostly the same requirements, and African countries are not excepted. these i believe are most of the requirement to be a citizen of any of these country.
•   By Birth
•   Decent
•   Marriage
•   By Naturalization. By Naturalization I mean the person would have to fulfill the following conditions
1) you should have resided in the country for at least five years,
2) must be a legal adult
3) know the language
4) practice good morality and have good integrity
5) has renounced previous citizenship
6) have a viable means of support
7) obtain approval of the Ministry of Justice.
