Yeah...as someone who recently relocated from a third-world country (South Africa) to a first-world country (Canada) I'm just going to go ahead and tell you that while the costs of living and property in third-world countries sound great there are a lot of negatives that don't make up for it.


Argentina is not a third world country.


Neither is South Africa. Their standard of living (in the right areas) is probably comparable.


Hmmmm. The murder rate in Argentina is 5.1/1000, lower than the United States. South Africa's is 35.9/1000, making it the 9th highest in the world.

"I'd love to retire to South Africa but I'm allergic to something in the air - bullets."
