Problem is Eastern Europe has insanely low wages. The average Hungarian earns about $11,000 a year. It gets worse the further east you go. Czech Republic and Poland are the best of the lot but lag very far behind Austria, Britain, France, etc.
You are better off financially in Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Costa Rica and Panama.
So there’s the Latin American option. Some people prefer that.
One can live very well in Eastern Europe if you go there with money.
I would think I’m better off in the low-wage countries where my $ goes further, other things being equal.
They’re all still catching up from 45-50 years under the Nazi and Communist boot.
The upside is they also have low taxes and everything cost a fraction of that in your country.
Also if you are making money distantly, the place you are living doesn’t affect the income at all.
