New Zealand
Its not third world cheap but not bad - crime is very low - Mediteranian Climate and great living standards.
Good luck getting in though - unless you want to marry me of course

Boise, ID
if it had a few things I need for the next 4-5 years I'd move there directly...
small town, decent size conveniences...SUPER low crime rate, weather (so so)...clean

big downside is no ocean
I'd way miss that...but a lot of areas in the pacific northwest are worth checking out, and cost of living isn't so bad when you get to the sticks in the pacific northwest, it's only sick pricing in Cali imo

baja california is a good one, short hop back to the states for fun.
But Eros nailed it, Texas is about as cheap as it gets. I was there with a buddy last year and former Houston Oilers great Earl Campbell's mansion was up for sale in a sweet gated community nearby. We paid it a visit and it was pimp, easily a $3-4M home in Orange County, and $5-7M in Bel Air/Beverly Hills.
Know how much it was listed for in Texas?
$1.1M.
7,000sqft, six bedrooms, massive pool, a fishable lake beyond that, three acre lot, four car garage, two stories, decked out fixtures, it was cribs-worthy for sure.
If only their weather didn't completely suck balls, suck the hardest ballsucking balls you have EVER seen....it makes Florida seem "dry and cold" in the summer, holy shit.

New Zealand is the adventure sports capital of the world. Bungy jumping, jetboats, skydiving, skiing, diving, sailing, hiking....there's a lot of things to die from in New Zealand, but boredom is not one of them.Originally posted by AntonioI had a friend that went there for a while, very good quality of life, there's one big huge fucking problem though, you'll die form boredom!!!!!I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

what my friend said was that basically people keep to themselves, not that easy to make new frineds if you're outsider, and social life really suckedComment

one other problem with New Zealand is their 3rd world view of women.. so if you have a girlfriend etc that needs work .. I wouldn't go (advice from my uncle and family in auckland).. stayed there for a month though and its just DEAD CHEAP compared to the scandic countries..Comment

The new friends part is just not true.... we are some of the friendliest people on earth!!Originally posted by Antonioman, I've seen documentaries as well, some places are breathtakingly beautiful

Social life can be an issue if your talking about night clubs etc - but if you prefer hot Sunday afternoons at the neighbours BBQ or even these days good food at a great restuarant then its perfect.Comment

Show me somewhere in the world where it is easy to make friends? IMO, it's just as easy to make friends in NZ as it is anywhere else. Maybe it's not NZ, maybe your friend is socially dysfunctional?Originally posted by Antonioman, I've seen documentaries as well, some places are breathtakingly beautiful

The last 2 primeministers are women..... They even have a Transexual MP!
They have a complete No Discrimination law - you just cant discriminate against anybody for anything there.Comment

croc me? this is from my family down there.. not from me.. have only stayed there a month.. what they are telling me is that women have really problems getting jobs compared to men.. no law can protect women from such norms.. but what do I know.. maybe my family are whiners..Comment

Here's a newsflash for you: women have problems getting jobs compared to men all over the world.Originally posted by Jensencroc me? this is from my family down there.. not from me.. have only stayed there a month.. what they are telling me is that women have really problems getting jobs compared to men.. no law can protect women from such norms.. but what do I know.. maybe my family are whiners..
By the way, on top of New Zealand having women Prime Ministers, New Zealand was also the first major country to give women unrestricted right to vote.I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.Comment
