I wouldnt mind living my retired life in Philippines or Mexico

Sure the hospitals there and the medical staff there arent the best like Americas are but life seems a lot more laid back there than America

Fuck that.

I dont need some exotic locale. I want to just live out the rest of my days in a cabin in the woods, left the fuck alone.

None, it's a Hella outdated term no one should be using.

US healthcare is not what it used to be. And many of these 3rd world countries have caught up quite well.

if youre poor and get sick in a 3rd world it would be very bad, but if youre rich (and, if youre retiring in a 3rd world and have US money you probably count as rich) you will have access to health care you could could only dream of in the US: were talking hospitals that look like spas, luxuries everywhere and amazing doctors and nurses that actually listen to you and dont do shit like waking you up 4 times in the night everyday because thats how their shifts work, all for a fraction of what health care would cost in the US

Philippines has some very good hospitals. In one visit, St. Luke's was able to diagnose and fix a problem that I spent years trying to get figured out in the US. For a fraction of the price.

What was the issue?

I actually agree with this. Not so sure about Mexico (I haven't done enough research on it, isn't it dangerous?) But the Philippines would be a nice place to retire in. There are some OK areas there, and your money goes very far there too. And English is a well-spoken language over there.

My buddy is Panamanian, hes in Panama right now.

hes staying at a resort that only costs 200 a night which would be closer to 800 a night here, says US money would get him something on the beach and would cost millions here for a few hundred thousand when he retires.

hospitals there are fine for general practice and basic needs, medicine is cheap. Would only come back to see a specialist if he had to.

Maybe. My girlfriend is filipina and the idea of retiring to a tropical beach house sounds like it could be nice. Plus my money might go farther there.

I've even thought about pulling a shawshank redemption and opening up a small beach hotel or rest house there. But just an idea for now. I haven't even been there yet.

i believe that referred to communist countries during the cold war era

nowadays first/second/third world has been phased out in favor of "developed" or "developing"
