The first question in our survey asked what our respondents thought they could achieve by moving abroad. Men and women were surprisingly similar in their responses, except that the responses for women were even more heavily weighted towards non-material reasons.

For example, 85.3% of senior women sought a “simpler, less stressful life”, while 64.1% wanted a “more romantic, exotic, or adventurous life” than they had in their home country. Playing “against type”, 30.8% more women than men wanted a less materialistic life.

The survey is worth reading. Lots of infographics to make it pleasant.

I have that discussion with my husband regularly, but that’s because my parents have a beach house there. Besides he already has his “Miss Philippines” right at home;)

The economy has a lot of ocean crossing sailboats out there looking for owners.

Yeah. They say they want less materialism. Wait until it actually happens.

Mrs. Gamecock and I have been having this conversation as of late.

If things here don’t get turned around we just may bug out.

Preppers' PING!!

Per request of lulu16.

For the record I am NOT a fan of abandoning 'ship'. To steal a line from Exodus: This land is mine God gave this land to my Forefathers. I will not give up what they fought and suffered for without at least the same effort they put into creating it.

I agree with you, but the husband has different ideas.

I’ve heard some things about men seeking to move to the Philipines or Thailand. And their reasons often revolve around the girls to be found in other countries. Some men are so frustrated with American women and their demands/behaviors, that they seek such connections overseas.

There are numerous websites for meeting foreign females .

This subject may shock some women. But men can be attracted to females who have been raised in other cultures, and behave differently with the man in their lives. This is s very powerful motivator for a man, meaning the type of relationship he has in his life.

My wife and I went to International Living Conference in Cancun a few months ago....we’re booked for 11 days in Nicaragua this November for an exploratory trip....business opp, ministry opp (we already run a non profit ministry in Uganda) and living / retirement opp.

Nicaragua is the new Costa Rica. First world health care available at a tenth the price....can live like a king (and queen) for 30K a year. Can live well for less.

There are plenty of places to retire in the US.

...

I suspect the article is nothing more than an advertisement.

Less materialism is only good when it is a choice.
