royaldude · Post by **royaldude** » August 30th, 2012, 12:08 pm

i recall living in the philippines and even thou it was a poorer country by cost of living was higher than when i lived in peru and mexico. why you may ask well i lived like a westerner in the philippines you know eating at western restuarants, buying imported products ex whiskey and staying in expat neighborhoods. basically i paid higher cost because i was wanting a western life which drove everything much higher. now i live like a local and things are soooo cheap. for rent i live in a mexican neighborhood i pay 2000 pesos for my apartment thats like 170 usd where i live has great weather so no need for acon or heating all yr. i eat only in local non chain mexican restaurants or taco stands, buy food from maarkets as opposed to supermarkets. a kilo of oranges is 10 pesos, a kilo of avocados 30 pesos. beef is grass fed here very cheap along with chicken and pork. a beef taco usually is 5 pesos and 12 pesos for a meat filled quesadiilla. so i eat really well for like 90-100 pesos a day or 8-9 dollars. i ride buses here unlike some parts of the us you dont have to wait long for one here and they cost 6 pesos 50 cents. i buy my clothes from mexican stores good quality and cheap. for liquor stick to mex beer corona dosexxs and tequilla. you can get beer in most bars here for 15 pesos thats little over a buck. and the most expensive nightclub charges 50 pesos admission so 4 bucks and even there you can buy a beer for 30 pesos. i smoke cubans here big cohibas for 15 pesos. point is my basic expenses food and rent are only 500 figure in another 6-700 hundred for "entertainment" i live great here. i would need probably 40 -50k job after taxes in the us to match my lifestyle here.

yes I am also very frugal and live more frugal then the locals. I am in Ankara and we have a house here which is not up to western standard. People donÂ´t even pay rent to us

Anyway the formal rent would only be about 50 dollars anyway

I am now here for 2 month now and have only costs about 100 Dollars and itÂ´s mostly food costs

The heating is old school with coal. But itÂ´s cheap anyway.

In Germany I paid 420 Euro for my 30m2 appartement. Here I donÂ´t pay anything. But if I wouldnÂ´t be the owner it would be only 75 euros

The downside is itÂ´s probably much more expensive when you put girl in to the equation. In this perspective porn canÂ´t be beat

i live in central mex, most of central mex has great weather states like guanajanto, michoacan, guerro, jalisco as long as your not right on the coast.
you can see weather conditions year round on weatherbase.com

ankara is in turkey right. im curious do you speak turkish was it hard to learn. since the girls are muslim is hard to get laid there. is drinking common there it being muslim?

btw the best advice i can give on keeping expenses down with dating is never have her live with you. maybe treat her to drinks but avoid taking her to nice restaurants and buying gifts. dont appear cheap at first so after 3rd date if you havent f***ed move on. when i date after ive f***ed her i explain look just because you have a p***y and tits doesnt mean i have to pay all the bills. some are ok with it others move on when they realize this american doesnt want to be their sugardaddy.

One of m mentors once taught me that, the two paths to becoming wealthy is to spend less & save more, or to simply make more money.

Living simply with a more minimalist lifestyle can be good, but it should be a choice and not a necessity. If you can live simply and still save at least 1/3 of your income, you're probably doing OK.

The first thing is to NOT pay expensive hotel/apartment rentals. I tried to rent an apartment in Simferopol and I know average rent there is around $US400 a month. Losers tried to get me to pay $100/night - NO WAY!!! I ended up paying around $40/night for a OK hotel that was near the Bus Terminal so, I had fun taking local buses as I despise Taxis more than expensive rent. My dates walk with me and go to normal restaurants and I don't spend much money unless the girl shows she's worth it. If I'm going to be dumped, I'll just save my money too!

royal I am of turkish descendant. I am raised in Germany. So language is not a problem for me.

I am not dating girls. I am a little of a MGHOW type of guy. I donÂ´t need women that much. If oppurtinities come I will take the chance. But for now my project is living abroad. The sexual question or quest comes later.

I want to settle in the southern touristic regions of turkey and look if it suits me. But I am open for other interesting countries. Mexico looks like a nice deal as it has a nice climate and the costs of living are not so high.

I am a big fan of Thalia who comes from Mexico so maybe some day I will check this country. But first I have to manage the abroad lifestyle. ItÂ´s little bit risky as I donÂ´t have health insurance. Though I can still be integrated into the german heath care system.

As I donÂ´t have much of an income I try to live frugal to expand my financial opportunities.

Bad thing we hear from Mexico is criminality. How do you see that problem?

This is why entire industries are devoted to convincing males to do just that. They even run commercials for pills that will INCREASE your drive to "put a girl in the equation". Imagine a pill that would make you stop giving a damn.

The economies of the G20 would collapse if just a small percentage of men went off to live like this guy. Think of all the crap he didn't buy, or bought MUCH LESS of.

Teal the world will not collapse. There will always be enough men to to the work for the women. Many of them are members of happier abroad.

The mghow guys will be the other guys. Who wonÂ´t work that much for the p***y.

regarding safety in mexico. i think its very safe at least safer than the usa. i also dont consume drugs so i never have contact with drug dealers directly. i drink and go to bars and they are safer than in the us. im white but dont stand out here as a target as 15% of pop is also white. mex violence is limited to border cities and its a huge country over 100 million people so when i hear its dangerous i think thats ignorant because its assuming the whole country has the problems that the border towns have. its kind of like saying all of the us is dangerous because chicago is a dangerous city. here are the statistics to back what i am saying

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co ... icide_rate

scroll down and click on mex to see the murder rate differences by state

for instance yucatan state had 2 for 100,000 murder rate while chihuahua state had 111 for 100,000

btw i dont get the MGTOW thing. i get people should do what they want but women want sex too so its not like you need to be a millionaire to get laid just stay in shape and be nice you will find p***y. btw im almost 30 ive never lived with a girl or paid her bills, i avoid single mothers so i dont think you have to pay for women unless you want to.

men love to play the role of savior and i see it often guys feel they should help a girl out. ill never get that if im paying for it ill make sure its for a professional.

Maybe this will help.
Edmonton cabbie sues passengers over false assault allegations

This lovely "lady" made national news accusing a group of young men of rape. One of the accused men was (fortunately for him) at an ATM machine at the time the alleged rape was (not) taking place. Her stabbing to death of her boyfriend was not given nearly as much coverage.

MGTOW is not always about getting p***y vs. not getting p***y.

For many men, MGTOW is about not having their lives ruined and freedom (and sometimes even their life) lost simply on the word of some lying whore, who will face little to no punishment even if the lie is discovered.

yea in the us women are always the victims but in mexico women cant pull any of that false rape crap.
but to protect yourselves you might want to have one of those nanny cams in your bedroom so you have the sex on tape.

It's a shame we have to leave our own country because women have become like men, and vice versa. I honestly don'tthink most men will ever wake up and join MGTOW, etc. They'll keep working to buy some bitch a house. He'd be better off in Mexico where houses can be cheap & you get to keep it'!
