I escaped Denmark around 10 years ago. Too many rules, too much tax, too high prices. Now I'm living in Cambodia. Low tax, few rules, Covid19 period hardly registered. No lockdowns. Paraguay sounds super great too.
@@NomadElite Around ten years now. Ended up with wife and two (so far) children. Taxes weren't even the worst. The suffocating atmosphere of laws and regulation. I've met people (mainly men) on my travels from many different Western countries in Asia & N Africa, that have fled Western countries for a freer less constrained life.
@@davidb2206 Denmark doesn't allow voting by non-residents. So I'm disenfranchised. But do keep up with debates on Danish forums. Also have daughters in Denmark - so do have an important reason to try to influence the future of Denmark.
@@Anomalyy666 Yes, it is fine. Cost of living is low, state reach limited, visa regulations relaxed, hard working people that mostly mind their own business. I didn't choose it as such, mainly just ended here by chance. Perhaps I would have chosen a country in S. America, if I had done more planning. Although, I did consider Ecuador at the time. Which isn't looking so good now. They say the real tourist attraction in Cambodia is the people. Can agree on that. Another thing I believe people miss when thinking about a good country to relocate to, is that it should have a healthy birthrate. I wouldn't move to Japan, S Korea, or Italy since it seems such countries will descend into anarchy in a few decades.
Came to Paraguay 1st time in January of this year. I love it there: (I came back to fix my residency in May). I met a beautiful young dentist from Luque and she was just here in Belgium for a few weeks visiting me. Going back in January for 2 weeks. I understand Paraguay has it's own problems but I think I will take my chances and yes I agree: life in Western Europe is getting increasingly unpleasant....The reason I like Paraguay so much is the healthy distrust people have for their government, doing everything they can to keep them out of their house & personal life. Coming from Western-Europe this is a breath of fresh air for me....
The thinking in lines of "government should regulate real estate more" is actually the part of what brought Europe where it is now. The Europe's problem is too large government, both in terms of high taxes and too strict regulations. This thinking "government should take care of this, government should take care of that... gentrification, the poor, the rights of minorities etc." all lead to increased government spending, more taxes and less freedom. And both taxes and the excessive regulations in reality hit the poor and the middle class first (despite being advertised to help them). However, the poor are typically just bought with the next welfare package.
I respect your perspective, and it is true that more government regulation means more taxes to be paid by citizens and residents, but look at this situation: In Tenerife, locals are being pushed into poverty because expats with wealthier pockets purchased a ton of real estate over the past years, creating a massive housing shortage. Apartment rentals have doubled. Salaries haven't. They must limit foreign investment soon, or tons of people will be living in poverty. There's a limit supply of real estate in many cities.
Yes all the reaction to COVID put to much money in the system thus driving up real estate world wide. The government regulating that will make the problem they made worse.
I may return to Paraguay after retiring. In US, my pension equals low middle class or almost poverty line income, but in Paraguay, I should be middle class. Hopefully Barrio Obrero did not change to much. Miss going to Cerro Porteño and Sol de America soccer matches.
Hi Jim. The Paraguayan Guarani is the official currency of Paraguay. Food and housing will be cheaper in Paraguay than Panama. Mexico offers so much variety, including access to many of the American franchises you might be used to in Canada.
Excellent! It happens in almost all rich countries, not just Europe. Also in Asia. Lack of education, general culture of geopolitics and above all, money rules more than ever unfortunately. Greetings.
What is your expectation regarding the success rate of implementation of agenda 2030, CBDC's in Tenerife/Canary Islands? I would like to keep living here, but I'm looking at Paraguay (Plan B) in case...
I think the Canary Islands will follow whatever the agenda is, but at a slower pace. Since you're living here, you know that the mentality of people and even businesses is not the same as on the mainland.
So you gained a western education, a western economy, western currency advantages, western health care, and took it all to a place where you can maximize the advantages of societies you now shun because you don’t want to pay the taxes that make your advantages possible ?
DUDE, I don't shun anything or anyone. I live in Texas for half of the year, and the other half I spend in places I enjoy discovering and investing in.
Can you tell me more? I was looking into this exactly, but the English-speaking internet isn't good at speaking about how people refer to themselves in their own languages and cultures. I'm guessing "Iberoamerican" means you are of both the Iberian peninsula (modern Spain + Portugal) and the American continent, and somehow that's much more accurate than "Latin" which means something different in America as it does in Europe? (wherein we usually call "Latin" anything West of the Roman Empire, including France, and the Iberian world is more of a subset of the European Latin space). I'm so curious to know how South America, and Paraguayans in particular, see this.
Many languages of Europe comes from the vulgar latin as French, Italy, Spanish, Galician, Portuguese, they don't define themselves as "latin" Even many people think that "latin" describes racially a group of people as: "mexican, bolivians, peruvians'' but we aren't neither similar with them, We were part of the Spanish Empire, so mostly here we are descendants from those spanish in 1811 when Paraguay linked off from Spain the president tried to create an "unique race" making laws that white most get married with natives, that's failed, nowadays in Paraguay are some native groups living far from us to their own way of living. also Italians contributed to the Paraguayans DNA, The white people that went here take as their own culture the spanish-paraguayan culture and they learn also "paraguayan guarani that is totally different from the guarani spoken between truly native people" Spain is located in the iberian europe, so "Iberoamerican" is the precise word to describe the "paraguayans" @@victor38542
The main point in Europe people who speak languages originated in different variants of vulgar latin they doesn't identify themselves as: "Latinos" we don't have to do it. Their variants of languages are nearer to Latin than us. @@victor38542
The composed word "Latin-America" was created by the french to refers to lands that were parts of the spanish empire to disconnect us of our spanish roots, they call Guyana "America Francophone" and in Africa their old colonies as "Africa Francophone" not as "Latin Africa". They didn't like to remember that once "Spain was the greatest empire in the world" and that Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and even part of Brasil also the andean countries as: Chile, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, also México and 51% of the U.S Territory, Cuba, and Philippines were part of it. @@victor38542

Taxes in Denmark are crazy high. How long have you been living in Cambodia for?

American watching this. Please America learn from everything going on. Protect our land.

Sounds like you had plenty of good moments in Paraguay!
How much is it?
Thanks! I'll be in Paraguay within a couple of months
You're welcome.
I wander if when I will be ready to move to Paraguay there will be way too many Europeans already??
Hi Gerald, another informative video. What is the currency in Paraguay and how does the cost of living compare to Panama and Mexico. Thanks
Hi Jim. The Paraguayan Guarani is the official currency of Paraguay. Food and housing will be cheaper in Paraguay than Panama. Mexico offers so much variety, including access to many of the American franchises you might be used to in Canada.
Nooo. No regulations! Regulated markets are the problem. Keep it free from government intervention. ❤ 🇵🇾
What do you love about Paraguay?
Excellent!
It happens in almost all rich countries, not just Europe. Also in Asia.
Lack of education, general culture of geopolitics and above all, money rules more than ever unfortunately.
Greetings.
Independent thinkers are far and between. Our populations have to started questioning some of the decisions being made at the highest level.
Sounds great 👍
Thanks!
What place you in? What do you do over there!
Asuncion! Enjoying life and building our company :)

Paraguay = 35°C+ for 5 months of the year. With Dengue.😊
So you gained a western education, a western economy, western currency advantages, western health care, and took it all to a place where you can maximize the advantages of societies you now shun because you don’t want to pay the taxes that make your advantages possible ?

The word Ibero is derived from the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, which is where the Spanish are from.
