It feels like these days the only way to have a good life is to emigrate to a second world country, and take advantage of the currency valuations to buy a home. Many of these "developing countries" (China, Malaysia, Thailand) have already overtaken Europe and the USA in terms of quality of life. Over time these differences are only going to get larger with the west on the way down. On top of that, the idea of paying 2 million dollars to live in a plywood shack in a neighbourhood that is 99% fent junkies and jeets doesn't feel appealing.

And no, Southeast Asia and China does not come anywhere close to the quality of life in America or Europe.Go and live there for 90 days. You go with a higher QOL expectation, you're gonna be one of those bitter, jaded expats. You go with developing-country expectations, and you'll be blown away by how nice some things are - while tolerating the faults as part of life in Asia.
This is one of the most modern exurbs of Kuala Lumpur, ten minutes and $1 from the airport along the KLIA Transit.

>Many of these "developing countries" (China, Malaysia, Thailand) have already overtaken Europe and the USA in terms of quality of lifeYeah bro, I'm sure that thai street noodle seller I walk past every day in Bangkok is living a higher quality life than your average Dane or even HungarianYou're either a retarded zoomer that has never traveled or this is a turdie bot post
>>2825533Went to Thailand before covid. Stayed in a nice area for 15 a night, full flat. It's "third world" because a nice flat costs 15 dollars and not 180 dollars like it would in a shithole like Denmark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LgX7bl_JEc
