I’m just not interested in moving to any kind of Foreign Parts, but I can see why a person without attachments could be happy someplace totally different. There seem to be quite a few places in the world that are promoted on the basis that “If you have a steady supply of dollars, the locals will see you get a steady supply of whatever you want.”
It’s not the life I want, but if it’s the life they want, fine.

How is that any different from your life or anyone’s? Supply the power company with dollars, they will get you power. Stop, and they stop. Same with bread and lobsters and crayons.
I have a friend who went to Manila to run a company in the 90s. He was married to a filipina, still is, with 3 kids now. They have a big house in a gated community outside Manila, have hired all her relatives at various times for maids and drivers and cooks. He says he will not return and will stay there til he dies. He loves it.
