I didn't want to comment anymore, but︀ you ignored the main points regarding safety, which are of quite importance for 'nomads' living︁ in other countries. Being able to walk around without worries is a big part of︂ life quality, not everyone likes to sleep with a gun under the pillow. Having slept︃ for 6 months with a machete next to me as a necessary safety measure I︄ very much know what I am talking about.
Having a gun doesn't fix the issue,︅ as every other person can (and will!) have one (or more) too, and if you︆ off someone you'll have to deal with police and courts, especially as a 'wealthy foreigner',︇ no matter if the gun is legal or not, and if you were in the︈ right or not. They gonna milk you as much as they can, you can bet︉ your a*s on that.
I mentioned that there are 48 countries in Asia, and you︊ are specifically pointing out Singapore as too expensive (which I only mentioned as one of︋ the safe heavens in case of a military conflict, I guess that at least 35︌ of others fit the bill as well, Thailand for sure does, is cheaper, and is︍ very diplomatic with everyone). BTW: I haven't found one place in Asia where 4K USD︎ isn't enough to enjoy life, even in Brunei or Japan I spent just half of️ that.
But back to SG, it's a tiny place, pretty boring, and not really representative for Asia, but even there one can get a plate of food for S$4.15 (about $3USD) at a food court, and can fly for $30 to BKK for the weekend to party, or - if too expensive - just cross over by speedboat to Batam (Indonesia) in <2h, or take the bus to Johur Baru (Malaysia) and be there in less than 30 min, or enjoy tax free beaches in Lankawi. SG isn't my favorite place though, especially as the countries just next to it offer much more bang for︀ the money and are more exciting: people, culture and nature wise.
Being so close to︁ any country, it's a digital nomad paradise. One doesn't need a residency if one can︂ just fly from BKK to Bali for about $100, then to HCMC for another $100,︃ and then Malaysia for even less. In any way, there are easier, faster and cheaper︄ options for tax free residencies for digital nomads; a TIN in Georgia takes 30 minutes︅ to issue and can be had in the first week after arrival just by asking,︆ and the tourist visa you get there is enough for one year stay, other tax︇ free residencies (for income from outside of the country) as in PH, SG, TW and︈ HK, aren't hard to get either. Then you got commie countries like Myanmar, Laos and︉ Vietnam, where no one even thinks about taxing you as a tourist.
But yeah, as︊ multiple others have already mentioned, you got a bias and aren't objective, and I understand︋ that, as it's your business. I ain't selling anything, just sharing my experiences, without any︌ motives.
