Yeah, I was going to say Brazil.

Costa Rica
Don't go to Brazil if you think the U.S. has a race problem. It's much worse in Brazil.
400,000 slaves went to America. 5 MILLION went to Brazil
Follow the wealth and where there is "real" economic growth. China....areas near there that are more Westernized....Australia...NZ.....HG.....etc.

Come on down to Oaxaca. Best food in Mexico, no drug war here, and 5000+ in altitude. Prize money in some local races. About a half dozen Kenyans live and train here -- guys at the 28:00 - 29:00 10K on the roads level. One or two Kenyan women around too.
I've lived here for 5 years and I love it. I'm a middle aged runner past my fastest years, but it's a great place for running. We are within an hour of some 6-7000 ft. runs also.
I lived in Portland before coming down. My wife says we spend about 65% of what we did living in Portland.
How would it be for retirement?
ditch the girlfriend and go where there are beatiful woman that you prefer.
Probably Croatia or Slovenia. Best combo of women, rock climbing, climate/topography, economic advantage, women. Did I mention the women?
Despite some decent posts, all of them are mute.
OP CANNOT just move to another country.
No friggin' way. You'll get a max of 3 months in most countries before you go through visa renewal processes (which may or may not be allowed), you make a border run, or they simply toss you out. And forget about working!
Have you never heard of VISAS? As in "work visa" or "resident visa"? You think they just give that crap out?
HA! Yeah right! That this has apparently been so grievously overlooked shows that the OP is obviously not serious in any way at all.
My thoughts.
I have never been to the USA and I only know about it (like billions others) from what I see on television, the internet and movies.
Surely, the US being so vast, living in different areas of the country must be like living in different countries anyway?
Or can one not escape the culture and way of life no matter where one moves?

Finns hate Estonians since the Finns claim Estonians look funny and are a separate mongol race when in reality Finns migrated from Siberia and are Siberian Altaic aka orientals as well. I think it's class hatred though since Estonians provide cheap labor, straight and gay whores to Finland.
Bullshit. Most Finns love Estonians and consider them as brothers. They are of the same kin and speak almost the same language.
Too close to Serbia. Serbs are jerks.

**moot**
Ecuador is the place to go
Large expat and English speaking population
Buy a 25k house and get a permanent residency visa
Low crime rate
Coastal and mild weather
Decent infrastructure
Currency is the US dollar
You can live very well on 1500/mo
New Zealand FOR SURE. I studied abroad there at the uni of otago for 5 months and it was the best time of my life I'll ever have. the south island is amazing, but if you want to live in a bigger city downtown Auckland is pretty awesome, and the night life in Wellington is fantastic as well. Cost of living may be pretty high but NZ is just freaking awesome.
If you're willing to give up internet, check into New Zealand or Australia

Yeah, you'll be banging another chick in the airport as soon as your plane lands.
Any of you with big plans about living out of the U.S. are just living on pipe dreams. Most countries have a lot restrictions - including a requirement for a high NW, which most don't have. Those that don't are not safe. Good luck.
Panama:
Nice weather without the natural disasters.
Cheaper, safer than Costa Rica
You can become a resident tourist. 6 months in the country, 3 days out and come back.
There are jobs for Americans but pay is low.
Uses the US dollar.
Prices are going up.
Your running will suffer unless you live in the mountains.
working holiday visa... a year to live in new zealand or oz... super easy to get, gets approved in less then a week... not really a pipedream my friend
I second Argentina. I spent a year over there studying abroad and two years working for my company's france in Buenos Aires. You can live a high quality of life for very cheap over there and the Argentine culture is very fun. Also the women are second to none.
