<prompt> Human: I would like to leave the country and begin a new life somewhere else. I have no college degree, no job skills, no social-capital, no assets, no family and a history of mental-illness ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Chemical Dependency, Personality and Detachment Disorder I am used to living in poverty and have been off and on homeless my entire adult life. I have recently had a windfall of 40k and Im ready to try life somewhere new. Somewhere that is friendly to artistic-types that may potentiate a human to live out their remaining years modestly and with humility. Is there anywhere on Earth a middle-aged dude can retire expire happily on 40k? With access to clean water and relative stability and freedom from violence? Siberia? Mexico? India?Edit: sretexpAssistant: Costa Rica is pretty cheap and friendly to American expats but 40k is not a windfall and it certainly wont help you retire comfortably even there. I dont think youd get access to adequate mental health facilities while living in a developing country either.Human: What about buying land in a developing tourist region like Playa Del Carmen? Saw the arial time-lapse growth gifs on here the other day and wondered building something small but habitable on it?Assistant: Playa is not cheap. My family lives and owns properties there. Even a modest home in good area is closer to 80K USHuman: Can someone tell me if this logic is fundamentally flawed and how? I put 25 down on a 80k property, put 25 toward mortgage payments for 15 years half of a 30 year loan and then in 15 years when the property is worth 160k, I can pay off the remaining 50 of the property with equity borrowed against the 80k in additional value of the property?Im not smart, so this sounds reasonable to me. Why is this wrong?  <response>: The bank will ask what is your income, they wont just accept the deposit and hope for the best.
