Anyone have good links to articles about foreigners who are paving a path to their fortunes in the developing world?

Preferably real talk and not just hyped-up InternationalLiving.com articles?

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling

If you earn about 100K a year and:

1. Save most of it by living like a pauper.

2. Don't marry/have kids or marry a chick who earns decent coin and also believes in saving most of your income.

3. Take most of your money and invest it properly.

You have a pretty good shot at a pretty high net worth even pretty early on.

It's amazing how much money you could save/blow on a bunch on all sorts of little things.

People are amazed I retired on an amount most here would think is too little, in my 50s after fucking off all through my 20s.

They ask me how and I say "No house, no kids, no car"

I live where I can bicycle to the food store and the bike shop lol and the train station and Hertz.

If I have a contract working for a few months I rent a car for about 150 per week ONLY while I'm working and then it's gone and insurance and repairs are someone else's problem.
