I wish more people would see THX, it's the best thing Lucas ever did. For people in urban centers, working in stressful jobs, it's already here. I was one of them...except for the phone booth jesus.edit on 4-10-2012 by Pilot because: (no reason given)
That said, the 10th cheapest country in the world, and our top pick, is Uruguay, one of Latin America’s First World countries; a country with one of the continent’s highest standards of living, lowest levels of corruption, best infrastructures, and lowest cost of living. Uruguay beats every other country in Latin America in our Cost of Living category.
Lee Harrison, IL’s Roving Latin America Editor recently bought property here. Here’s what he reported back to us while he was scouting:
“It’s a gorgeous spring day in the Southern Hemisphere, and I just came from looking at an apartment in the old section of Montevideo that was listed for $19,000. I made a three-cent phone call to set up the appointment, and while I was waiting I had a cheeseburger which cost me 43 cents. A bottle of good cabernet wine is $3.20, and cigarettes cost a buck.”
Uruguay is a paradox. South America’s second-smallest country–about the size of Missouri–looks like Europe, and it feels like Europe, but with Third-World prices. Wedged between Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay has the lowest poverty level in Latin America and the highest life expectancy. The literacy rate is 98%.

Damn those "primitive" countries. Seems like hell.
Im planning to move somewhere around there as well. People there are awesome and if you come from our western society, you can live a very long time without even working on your savings down there.
