Could be, bear in mind that while there are some advantages to operating in a developing country there are also downsides like unreliable infrastructure, different business cultures, widespread crime/corruption etc. As for the people, yeah you will always be of interest to the locals because you're different and perceived as rich, but again you may find it difficult to make meaningful friendships.

Working remotely isn't all that easy to set up, you usually need experience/reputation first but I guess if you can differentiate yourself based on lower cost you could pick up work that way. Just make sure you have something to separate yourself from the thousands of filipinos and indians whose emails fill the spam folders of US businesses.

Sorry I can't help you more than that, just make sure you think through both the good and the bad, it'll improve whatever decision you make.

Well I have a couple years experience in working in tech support over the phone and would be happy to work the night shift at a call center for minimum wage and no benefits. I'm a native English speaker and have good customer service skills. I could possibly look into work doing Photography, modeling, stripping, or something of the sort at a physical location there. With what I have saved and what I can sell off, I can easily float myself for a year or so, not that I would go out there blindly without a job lined up, but if it got rocky, I would be fine. There's a whole number of things I could do for work to be able to survive there, making $400-$500 USD isn't exactly difficult.

You have two options:

1) You do it. Whether you fail or succeed doesn't really matter because you will be writing a great page of your life regardless of the outcome.

2) You don't do it. Few years later you'll look back and realize you've done nothing, just wasted your life at home.

The choice is up to you.

>>1129928
Fuck, man. You do make a good point. The last time I moved, it was the single most valuable decision in my life. I feel like history is repeating itself and it would be foolish not to do something about it.

most people live in america, as americans, because they can't move abroad and keep their job. the second most important reason is that they feel lonely abroad. the third is that they're too closed minded.

there's no reason not to do it if you're open minded and flexible.

ti also depends n your entrepeneurial goals. if your goal is to start a PI based business, forget it. smarter people than you hvae tried. the country is too fucking corrupt. unlessyou have a very, very good idea already about how it works, you're gonna fail at that.

>500 usd a month
if this is part of your plan, I think I must strongly advise you to reconsider your strengths and weaknesses in the mental category

if you're cautious about yourself because you have a history of making bad decisions, such as, makng 500 dolars a month, then maybe you should consider putting yourself into a more humbling mental category

>fairly attractive for the area
>500 matches on Tinder in 3 days in Manila

HAHAHAHAHA, this is some sort of a troll, right? You could have a fucking wooden leg and a glass eye and get 500 matches in 3 days in Manila with a US passport.

My entrepreneurial goals are focused mainly around restaurants and consumables. Franchising, bringing more American chains over, etc.

Making $500 monthly as a regular thing is not part of the plan by any means. That's like the absolute bare minimum I would want to survive off of. My goal is more in the $1000-$3000 a month range to start off with.

I'm not too bad for the US, I've been told dozens of times I look like this guy and he's considered moderately attractive.

You should go freelance dick-sucking then. It's good money.

>>1129941
If I don't have to suck more than 4 dicks a week and still make that $1000+ a month, I'd do it.

>>1129936
that's probably a more realistic goal. but with the capital you have, and even gaining 3k a month, that's not anywhere NEAR enough to start thinking about franchising.

if this is your plan, you need to start talking to busines owners in the philippines, not a mongolian erotic fiction masturbation board.

fwiw anon, moving abroad, imo, is the ONLY way forward. the west is doomed/dead. but you can't just pick a country at random. you need to know the language, perfetly, you need a LOT more money than you have, you need an intricate understanding of SEVERAL things, from finance to a particular industry, to the state of that industry in a country, to the DIRECTION that country is going politically. the reason people avoid the PI is because it is completely CHAOTIC. it's simply beyond the scope of most people to foresee. the people who start businesses usually have the money to brute force it, or have connections. to call PI nonfunctioning is an understatement. if it was a "underbought" or "unseen" opportunity, it would have already been market saturated.

give this a little more thought. red more about business in particular before you declare PI a paradise just because you get your dick sucked on tinder. moving to the philippines isn't going to make ou a better businesman. and if you're not a smart businessman, why can you do it but not a philipino? theyre not SUPER smart, but they're not all idiots either.

I'm not talking about moving and starting a business right off the bat, I'm talking 15-20 years down the line. Who knows what the market situation might be then? I may have moved on to another eastern country. I completely agree, the west is dying due to brutal monopolies, a toxic nostalgic culture, high cost of living/hiring people, and a growing wealth divide. It's tough to get ahead, even with a well connected family. The job market is just too saturated, schools are too expensive, and the cost of living is absolutely insane compared to the rest of the world.

I'd be more than happy to be able to live my life comfortably, just working and raising kids. Owning a business is a dream of mine, but dreams can't always come true. I just want to be able to live a comfortable life.

>>1129944
Even if I was only making $1000 USD a month, my quality of life would still be far ahead of what I have in the US in this area. An apartment in the city costs a minimum of $2000, it's fucking insane. The metro area isn't much better either, $1250+ for rent, and houses are $250,000+.

>>1129947
you've almost completely misdiagnosed the problem. the diagnosis you gave is more of a socialist perspective. how many socialist businesses do you know? maybe, then, it's not a very good perspective to use to go into business.

research the business perspective. start with smith, or if it's too hard for you, whatever you do, don't start with someone who dislikes smith. read mercilessly. read 8 hours a day, or take lite business courses if you need direction. don't stop reading, ever. after a period of time, you might think you have a capacity for a particular industry. give it a go. keep readig.

if you're completely ignorant atm, moving immediately is NOT the best choice. don't research other countries. research business. when you're competent in business, you'll see why some countries are good and why some are bad. then, you can choose a good one.

It would definitely be viable for you to move to the Philippines. Just remember that the majority of women here are gold diggers and the Filipina you married is probably after your money so she can feed her extended family in the province. Don't forget to always have a backup plan in case you get tangled up with bad elements here, i.e. corrupt police, criminals, and politicians.

>>1129918
Is it viable? Sure. Should you do it? Fuck no.

It's not the paradise you think. You'll never feel welcome, and will most likely end up having a more miserable time than you would have at home.

Unless you have a set business in mind, or a career path of some sort, you're fucked.
