But my 40 hour a week maid is $300/month or so. The absolute best apts in the country are about $500k.

Killed or kidnapped could happen at any time I suppose. I have alm ost never felt threatened here so ... who knows.
What about Asia? I know that's a lot cheaper than Brazil, countries like Thailand etc
