Yes my family was military, stationed in germany for 16 years, you know this el mat - I have told you this before - dad left me half brothers and sisters all over europe - 3 in germany, 2 in france, one in rome and a possible one in portugal. He left many more in vietnam during his years there but those half brothers and sisters are not as smart as the european ones I guess and not trying to contact dad. I also have many friends in the army and air force who brought back wives from germany and other parts of europe and also many parts of asia. Many of the marriages did not work out unless the soldier boy changed - woman got away from berlin or asia and saw how good it was for woman living in USA and made soldier boy learn real quick that his male pig ways that was tolerated in other culture would no longer be tolerated here in the USA with oprah and divorce lawyer backing her! Back home she may have been the diaper changer - but now in the USA soldier boy was going to be the bitch and change diapers. You can watch a movie starring tommy lee jones as a soldier boy who brings back asian wife and then kills himself when she divorces him and takes all his stuff. (based on true story) One army friends german wife missed the cafe's and coffee shops back home and especially daddys money back home so she ditched soldier boy. Once the young ladies smell the moolah they follow it. Right, and if daddy has the most moolah - what is her incentive to leave it for poor working class sucker? One of my uncles was morman - he moved to utah and took his wife - well rich mormon guy who was already in utah and established took her for his 3rd wife and my poor dumb uncle was sent packing back to south carolina with nothing - HAHA! Dumbass uncle went to a more competitive environment were he was not top dog - he should have stayed in small south carolina town with his wife and maybe he still have her today. It is doesn't make those women bad. If I was a beautiful woman I would be pimping myself out for money just like becky quick and maria bortiromo do - I don't hold it against them trying to better their lives - I would too - but I am a male and must take the cards dealt to me - I must change my environment - cause right now the places I have lived in the west the house rules are stacked against the male. I dont think you are clear on what I am trying to get out of you - I don't want to go to a germany or a sao paulo and have 500 other millionaires like myself all fighting each other over the attention of the 5 top beauties who already have so much gifts and condos and furs and cars from the other 499 millionaires I really have little left to offer. I need to find somewhere that daddy does not have money to make her life better, that oprah can't protect her, that divorce lawyer is not going to save her, that US or other military guy is not going to take her away - I need the low of the low - so that when I am 90 I can still have pretty young lady on my arm. Where have you travelled where 90 year old men have pretty 20 year old on their arm and no one is trying to lock them up and no one is trying to kill them? The only place I have seen this is certain parts of africa if you are the king of the tribe and take you on about 20 wives. I don't think I have enough to be a king in africa and I want to avoid that continet if possible - but if you don't know anywhere else where an old man can have his pick of young ladies and not have to compete with 500 million other guys off the internet, with rich daddy, rich military guy etc etc then I guess africa it is. I was big athelete in high school and college, martial artist, still in great shape for my age and richer than most of my peers, but I am still zero in the west - If I were to walk into a local place with somoene half my age I will be rebuked and hated upon to the point I have had violent physical encounters in the past - I need to escape that opression. Yes things were good in germany for rich military mans kids back in the day when I was young teenager - I try to tell current USA youth how great it was and they say I am living in fantasy land - cant blame them - all they have known is this opressive oprah society where they are expected to change the diapers - never lived in a society where the woman does all that. I had many friends from croatia and ukraine and russia that went back home to poverty rather than stay here and be woman's bitch.

Move to Argentina? El mat this guy below says to move to argentina, I used to live in palm beach but am now in toronto and was thinking of moving to thailand - what do you think - is Argentina where we need to move? Where are you living now and where do you plan to retire? Slagle said you came to orlando - what did you think of Florida? A nice place to retire or did you hate it? agorafinancialpublications.com So what should you be doing about all this? I suggest you really internationalize yourself. I think what you ought to have is your citizenship in one country, your bank account in another country, your investments in a third, and live in a fourth. You've got to internationalize yourself. Most people out there are like medieval serfs, psychologically and physically: they're born some place, they don't go very far from it and that's where they die, and they're going to get exactly what they deserve. Well, you can't be that way. I think you ought to treat the world as your oyster. What am I doing about this? I've been all over the world. I guess I've lived in 12 countries now. And out of 175, I've been to most of them, numerous times actually. What am I doing, where do I want to go, where am I living? Well, in New Zealand. I went there a few years ago for the polo, actually, and the reason was that playing polo there was about 10% what it cost me in Palm Beach, and I liked it better. So we bought a lot of real estate. But since then, the currency has doubled and the real estate within that currency has doubled at least. So I'm getting out of New Zealand. Where am I going now? I'm going to Argentina. And let me give you a tip, okay? Forget about Europe, it's going to become a petting zoo. It's like Disneyland with real stones instead of paper Mache stones. I mean, Europe is on the slippery slope. I wouldn't touch Europe with a ten-foot pole. If this war with Islam gets out of control, Europe is going to be an epicenter. It's going to be a disaster. I'll tell you where you ought to look. Argentina is the place to be. It's the cheapest country in the world. It has low population, incredibly beautiful, the climate is great. One hundred years ago, it was in competition with the US for being the best place in the world and the richest place. But it went downhill radically, radically. But let me tell you something. It's turning around I think. And what's going to happen is driven by the fact that everything in Argentina costs between 10% to 30% of what it costs in North America. That's correct. It's that cheap. It's free. It's free. It's free for us as North Americans. But the Europeans really think it's free with that strong Euro. So you're getting a massive immigration from rich Europeans that can see the handwriting on the wall and like it down there. And I really like it down there. It's just a great society, great society, great place to hang out, prices are right. I mean this can solve most of your investment problems right there, just by transplanting yourself, if you've got some capital. Furthermore, Argentina is going to be insolated from WWIII to a good extent.
