This! Too many rich people I know are very miserable people. Sometimes I wonder whether it is an effect of having too much wealth that makes one miserable. Personally, being a minimalist (naturally because of how I was raised), I also wonder sometimes how I should calculate as to when I would/could retire.

Anyone has any links to do these calculators would be great. I can choose to retire in Canada, India or US if that matters.

I don't want to spoil a good thing, so keep it between the two of us, but if you can generate/afford $2k US a month, you will live well in Costa Rica.

The same goes for Mexico and probably you could apply this for the rest of LATAM, too.

The thing is that you need to get used to live in a bit of a disorder. I still cannot get used to it sometimes.

Anyway, if you want to live in a "first world country", I cannot recommend Czech Republic enough. It's modern, super safe and still cheap. Plus we definitely need a bit more of diversity there.

I manage a remote team from Eastern Europe and I can echo this 100%.

Just don't ever tell them they are Eastern European - we get a bit sensitive about that, haha.
