You're not misleaded, he's actually teaching others that if you're an idiot you should not go to some countries (or cities) because you might lose more than taxes. For example if you live in Long Beach California and you want to go to Dallas Texas to pay way less taxes... You shouldn't go if you're not smart enough to live in Medellin Colombia because the murder rate in Dallas Texas is basically the same (just a little higher) than in Medellin so you will probably get rekt in both places
BEWARE IN COLOMBIA!

I've been going to Latin America since I was a child with my parents. As soon as I turned 16, I started taking my buddies down there to clap Latinas' cheeks in the 80s. I've had homes in a plethora of Latin American countries.
More than one person on this forum spoke to me on the phone in the last few weeks while I was in Buenos Aires. I'm still visiting clients in Latin America before I head back to Asia.︀
I've never ever been bothered by ANYONE in Latin America. I'm talking about walking into︁ the slums of Venezuela, Colombia, and the favelas in Brazil. Come to think of it,︂ I've NEVER been bothered by anyone anywhere. It's ALL about how you carry yourself and︃ the BS you allow others to pull on you! Appearance matters!
Here's a video I︄ recorded while walking in one of the scariest, most dangerous, and most lawless slums in︅ Latin America (according to cowards on the internet). I have thousands of such videos acquired︆ over a lifetime (+4 decades) of traveling.
Get out and enjoy your life! Get out︇ of your comfort zone! The BEST people I've ever met, I met in the most︈ "lawless" & dangerous areas.
Here is︉ a video I recorded while having brunch in Monaco:
The Monaco video is to juxtapose 2 completely different worlds.
Get out︋ and live your life and stop spreading fear! Life's too short to live in fear!︌ 😎
PS. Hire @latindev so he can teach you the ropes! 😉

They got you GOOD with that propaganda, huh? 🙄
That divide & conquer strategy works really well.
Why do you think we invaded & colonized ALL these "dumpster countries"? 😎
Could the following map help you understand these "dumpster countries" better?
Even better profits and a greater variety of natural resources in Latin America!
The profits are in the tens of thousands percentage-wise. If you are good & HUMBLE with the locals & speak their language and spend time with them and provide to them what others can't or︀ won't (Google value skew), you can purchase certain natural resources for 10 cents (or less)︁ on the dollar. The quantities will NOT be anywhere near multinational levels, but who has︂ the ability to move that kind of money without getting on the radar of every︃ government in bed with these politically connected & privileged multinationals? stupi#21
If you move a few︄ million a day you stay under the radar but the profits are mind-boggling! 😎
You have︅ to REALLY care for the locals though. They are excellent judges of FAKE characters and︆ personalities! A good thing to remember:
"No seas prepotente o ostentoso"
Good luck!

Yes I know there are business opportunities in developing countries. What I︆ meant is why would anyone spend their holiday or free time in these crappy countries︇ and even meet some tinder slut instead of going to a nicer place like I︈ don't know Italy, France, Greece
I would agree with you wholeheartedly with this 30 years ago! After the recent surge in "refugees", I stay CLEAR of these places now. 🙄
PS. I can get into the whys, and theft reports (in Europe), and juxtapose places with photos but only if it will advance minds.

I would like to interject here with some HEALTH concerns, privacy, REALITY, & UNCOMMON SENSE and dispel some common ill-conceived perpetuated myths.
Not cheap AT ALL, but SAFETY! Super safe compared to the USA or Europe. How you ask? See the following photos I took:
First, you arrive on a private jet, e.g. Netjets, on an "island". No customs, no immigration. Nobody intrusive public servant asking you how much cash you are carrying. No dogs sniffing your luggage. Everybody is just extremely happy you are︀ there. You also must treat them with respect & dignity! You give what you expect!︁
You then go to one of the best beach-front restaurants... All for you. Nobody to︂ bother you asking for tips or donations or trying to pickpocket you or steal your︃ phone with a map (Think Firenze, Piazza Duomo & Gypsies). Also fresh seafood. If time︄ is on your side (when you are truly free), you can wait for them to︅ dial up some guy on a boat who will catch a fish for you and︆ a dinghy will bring it to the beach-front restaurant. They'll show you the fish alive,︇ then clean it in front of you ...if you are into such things, and then︈ grill it or cook it the way you want. ALso in front of you. Cheap?︉ Not a chance! Local sparkling wine & grilled fish lunch > €150!
Going to the︊ gym (€150/month) without ANYONE else bothering you or sitting at a machine looking at their︋ mobile phone! No refugees, no weird people. Only highly-educated sophisticated locals who were all educated︌ in USA or Canada, Western Europe, and Japan. Captains of industry.
After the gym in︍ the afternoon, you can navigate your boat (a type of NetJets but for boats) to︎ a restaurant on the dock, for a post-workout meal, which only the Captains of Industry️ can afford. Captains of Industry in Latin America = Businessmen with thousands of employees. You can have a relaxing dinner with Champagne unperturbed and devoid of low-lifes for a measly €250. Not a single beggar in sight!
In the evening, you can go out to a restaurant on the beach where fishermen will serve you on-the-spot-caught seafood. They use a net. All for about €250.
I can go on and on, but why? You get the point!
rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/% Notice there isn't a SINGLE girl in ANY of the pictures. It's a magnificent︁ life without ANY disturbance or distraction. As far as gold diggers are concerned, the laws︂ of the USA & Europe are far more favorable and "advanced" for such things. Ask︃ Andrew Tate or watch this video to get an idea. The video is old but︄ really funny, by the way:
PS. Latin America's top-of-the-notch lifestyle is a hidden gem︅ and is the same thing, FOR ME, as in Asian countries and the Caribbean (At︆ least the Caribbean islands that have not imported stupid Western "woke" values) 😉

You are showing me a life of a billionaire with private jet. This︅ is completely different, I'm talking about guys like backpackers or middle class.
There is a︆ show called: 90 days fiance
I recommend you to watch it.
That video was not︇ funny at all to me. It was very sad. It makes you think that your︈ career that cost you years to build, could be wiped out by a woman.
I remember someone said; the most important decision in your life would be choosing your wife.︉

I live in a place with pretty similar criminal rates to Rome, Paris and Athens but with less than 2.5k USD a month my wife and I︀ we rent a 3bed/2baths apartment, we order deliveries almost every day, we have higher internet︁ speeds for just $20 (6 times faster than the average in Europe), light and water︂ is included and it's super cheap (and more stable than in places like Rome) and︃ we live with peace because no one questions what you do... And on top of︄ that we even pay A LOT less in taxes than in most countries in Europe︅ without facing the same issues tax heavens face.
The main problem with foreigners in Latam︆ is that for some reason I still can't understand, they love to go the most︇ dangerous places. It's like Rio, I don't understand why so many people want to go︈ there when there are better (and way safer) places to live/visit... I think is because︉ people want to have a wild (?) life and most of the calm/cheaper/safer places are︊ "boring" for them

This is MY life! I'm NOT a billionaire! Those are my photos. They can easily be Googled using image search. I'm a nobody! I just check into my brain every morning! I strive to be a very self-aware & conscious hard worker who knows the price and COST of everything I engage with!
That is the problem! Going through life looking for someone to marry is the wrong approach for me personally. It sends out vibes of desperation. Conmen/fraudsters can sense desperation! Marriage and divorce are HUGE businesses! Courts love︀ them! Every decision made out of desperation ends up in failure.
It's reality! We can't change reality! The legal profession and governments︄ have pushed this agenda because they benefit. Life's too short to catch Hell here on︅ Earth because we want things to be "fair". It's easier to STAY out of trouble︆ than to get out of trouble.
Times have changed︈ a LOT since those two were choosing their "wives"! Hell, I wasn't even born when︉ they got married rof/%
Also, I don't want to make a "decision" and gamble where there︊ are NO upsides for me. Others may gamble their lives away at their heart's content.︋ Some of us choose happiness, privacy, health, longevity, no stress, etc. We are known as︌ the Bon Vivant. 😉
People who are MUCH MUCH smarter than me and make much much︍ better decisions than me got divorced:
Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bernie Ecclestone, Adnan︎ Khashoggi, Rupert Murdoch, Steve Wynn, Bill Gross, Harold Hamm...
even Steve Jobs' ex-girlfriend sued him️ for $25M. Yes...ex-girlfriend... NOT even wife! 🙄
and let's NOT forget the absolute ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum
This would explain, and makes perfect sense, for the 9% tax he now wants rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/% rof/%
#Bingo!
I agree with everything you︈ wrote above!
The problem as they describe it in Spain is called: Prepotencia!

How tall are you, I wonder? Would what you said still stand true if the traveler is a 5' woman? It's much easier to be given the benefit of the doubt by the potential offenders if your appearance implies a possibility of reciprocal aggression︀ (strong/tall man). If you appear to be physically weak, you'd still attract the offenders, even︁ if you know you'd be ready to die fighting them
Pretty much all crime stats regarding Colombia (and most of the rest of LATAM from what I can tell) are out of date and false to some extent. Colombia has gotten way more dangerous over the past 5 years. Comparisons with US cities might have been true according to official stats 5 years ago, but most people don't even bother to report getting mugged and things are WAY worse now, especially since covid lockdowns and especially since Venezeulan crime gangs decided to move shop to Colombia. In Medellin and Cartagena they specifically target foreigners now, but everyone, every Colombian is complaining about how bad crime︀ is getting.
One thing is the perception of criminality and︁ another totally different number is the actual rate of criminality. For that reason people feel︂ safer in Uruguay than in Chile while the truth is that you have 3x times︃ higher possibilities to get killed in Uruguay than in Chile (and in both countries around︄ less than half the possibilities in the US for example).
Btw the crime gangs from︅ Venezuela the only thing they do is they recruit locals so it means the criminals︆ where already there, for example the famous "Tren de Aragua" works with Peruvians and Colombians︇ in Chile... It's just that at least using the name from a foreign criminal organization︈ helps in getting traction across the news (which btw is good because finally that forces︉ the authorities to fix their s**t)
Your appearance is really important in LATAM, the truth is️ that if you're a 5' woman you shouldn't even walk alone in Spain because everybody knows you're risking your safety

BEWARE!
The people who comment here that it is very safe in Latin America, and that they have not suffered any kind of scam attent, it is because they have not walked in certain places. It's enough to be on Tinder to see how many women ask you for money, and the same in Venezuela. $200 dollars for food. if you don't offer them money, they begun to swear and insult you because you are not a normal man, you are soulless blah blah blah. funny thing is that when i donated some money they were still attacking me, telling what a bad person/man i︀ am. :lol
It's enough to be on Tinder or go to certain bars to be︁ noticed as a potential target. Normally, if you go with 10 friends, or if you︂ just walk around the open market area, streets, where there is usually also police, or︃ other places, you won't experience anything. Because that's not where GANGS (Pandilleros) operate. Those who︄ will drug you , and rob you , they go to the "lake where there︅ are a lot fish", tinder, clubs, avenues. Or they usually kidnap foreigners from airports. They︆ just won't walk around the villages until they see a stranger in 3 years.
