41. When I went overseas to live and work, they paid for my work visa, my flight, and most of my expenses there

All I really had to pay was my phone, internet, food, incidentals, and travel.

Rent free apartment or subsidy, insurance (either private or single payer depending on the country), medical checks, and everything needed to live and work legally was covered.

Usually made eight times the average salary of the locals and lived like a king.

Then I met my wife there and things got better after marriage.

Anyone under 30. . .go! Anyone ready for retirement. . .look at Thailand, Philippines, or Indonesia.

Anyone want to do it, DM me with your questions.
