Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2820188]As realistically as possible, how long could a mongering make it in Medellin if they had 1 million in cash? Could you go forever and budget your shit right. Make some money off the interest. Work some digital nomad gigs and make that shit last 20 years and live comfortably? Anyone thoughts from some people who have long term experience would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Look at muni bond funds, NHMAX is one of those funds and now is at a 5. 3% yield so that would be like $53,000 per year tax free. You would have a great life at that amount.

I follow a series of bond funds and some are paying around 10% now. CIF (LOL), DHY, BLW, PHT, PHK are bond funds yielding about 10% so that would be $100 k a year although I have not dived deep into these funds for a long time, and you have to pay taxes on that amount. I also think bonds are due to go up so it is a higher risk than munis but potentially a higher reward.

You can earn $112,000 a year tax free if you earn that money abroad, but that cannot be interest.

I am not sure if you can do it but it would be intriguing to see if you could have a company that invests in bonds, and the company gets that interest and you pay yourself a salary out of that. That is a job for lawyers and accountants, but I wonder if it could be done. Colombian taxes might ruin that scenario, but I am not sure.

The last thing is investing in Colombian real estate. A gal I was dating was going to build apartments in her home town, and I was stunned at the yields she was talking about getting. Also, my gal's mother and several of her aunts make a majority of their incomes as landlords. Given the much less risky 10 year bonds in Colombia yield around 12%. [URL]http://www.worldgovernmentbonds.com/country/colombia/[/URL], I could see someone doing really, really well being a landlord in Colombia. Can you imagine 25% or 30% yields as a landlord?

It makes me wonder what I am doing in the USA.

[QUOTE=WillTravles2;2820066]Hey I've got a no doorman hotel 3 blocks from the center of Parque lleras. It's not my main place, I keep nothing in the room, it's only for fun. I'm trying to meet a few guys like myself who want to pick up a few different ladies and have a YOLO night. I'm talking sharing, swapping and all three doors open. No trans, no judgment, just not my thing.

You don't need to chip in for the room it's already paid for.

If anyone's interested we can set a time and meet outside Hookah. I only have it booked for tonight but if this go well this can be a regular thing. I'm in town for 2 weeks.[/QUOTE]What is the name of the hotel? I have been looking for a no doorman apartment / hotel with guest friendly policy around parque with no luck.

[QUOTE=DonCarlos1234;2820257]I would like to see Sao Paulo, Rio or even Buenos Aries and the beaches. But I think it's unlikely I can find anything better than what I already have had. Seems Scandallo costs even more than my 10's cost in Colombia. Geez one girl would marry me or live together in sin. LOL (22 years old blonde in flight attendant school. Another blonde speaks 6 languages, (FRENCH) plays violin and is a ballet dancer (both in Bogota) So getting on a long 16 hour+ flight seems I would find more 10's, 9's and lots of fun. But it will take time, cost more and MIGHT disappoint.

I get the feeling that real GFE is better in Colombia also. It takes a lot of time, $ and some luck. Why go anywhere else?

I like taking risks so if I can combine this with my art business in Brazil. I will do it anyway.[/QUOTE]Don,

I cannot imagine doing a business in Brazil. Granted, Venezuela is worse, but I would even do Argentina over Brazil, and Argentina like Venezuela has a culture that says swindling people is okay. Both countries have defaulted on their debt like ten times. Still, unlike Venezuela, Argentina works as a country much better because of a crazy barter system and personal trust. There does seem to be a small subset of people in Argentina you can trust.

Brazil's slogan is that it is going to be the next great country in the world and always will be, and I did not get why until I went there. OMG, the system is corrupt. The rich people have tied up so much that it is very hard for the poor to get ahead, and I was not impressed with the work ethic in general of the Brazilians.

But like Turgid say, the WGs in Brazil are amazing. I don't know if they take a class in it but the women give great oral. I cannot recall moaning from BJs more in my life. So yeah, it is intriguing. The women are fun, friendly, horny, and great in the sack. Thing is they have a reputation of not being loyal. The woman who just DFK you often will do the same with five other guys that night. That is the stereotype anyway.

I am much more impressed with the Colombian work ethic and while the Colombian women may not be as skilled as Brazilians I think the Colombian women are much friendlier and sweeter. I have been serious with one Colombian woman and semi-serious with two, and I cannot recall any of them ever telling me no. They have often busted their asses to make me happy.

And maybe I am stereotyping about countries and women but there is some truth to most stereotypes. Funny thing is a guy wrote a book stereotyping the different Latinas: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/Chicaspotting-Field-Latinas-United-States-ebook/dp/B018FLYEMA[/URL].

And it is funny and IMO pretty accurate. Of course, the woke mob wants the book banned.

Anyone thoughts from some people who have long term experience would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]I'm guessing you live in California. One million dollars will definitely allow a normal person to live comfortably for 20 years in Medellin. Without any supplemental income, that would provide you $50,000 per year. If you invested $500,000 in CD's at 5%, that would provide an additional $25,000 per year. You should be able to invest more than $500,000 because I would not make any large purchases until I lived in the area for a while to observe the surroundings. I'd invest $900,000, leaving $100,000 for initial expenses and pocket money for one year.

I've been frequenting this site for years but this is my first post. A lot of my friends are too chicken shit to go to Colombia to monger they are stuck on the. Are, I spent time in guat city mongering so I'm not afraid to go solo I am not a gringo just American LOL. My question is where are the fast houses in Medellin that fuck for 10 us? Guatemala city fast houses were 7.50-11 usd. I had a 3 some for 120 q = 15 usd in Guatemala. I always bring my own protection and I blend in. Looking for the barrios in Medellin.

[QUOTE=DonCarlos1234;2820252]That is amazing!

Too many videos promoting sex tourism pissed off the government & a lot of the locals. Buy a coffee. Chill and watch the show. Spend some $ at Marquee and make them happy.[/QUOTE]Possibly that. But also I was told by a local it is an attempt to stop underage prostitution. There are terrible stories about that circulating in local press and the gossip mill. And so the politicos are forced to act.

[QUOTE=CasaNoVa;2820309]As upper middle class I can choose to fly under the radar in a third world country.............[/QUOTE]Excuse the pedantics and this digression from posting on the noble pursuit of Paisa pussy, but here goes a needed corrective to the post quoted above.

Applying the label "third world" to any country is 40 years out of date, and in the case of Colombia is quite inaccurate and could reasonably be perceived as patronizing and insulting. The terms "First", "Second" and "Third World" date to the Cold War era, when the allied, industrialized "Western Bloc" countries (also including the Eastern likes of Australia and Japan) were designated as "First World", the Communist bloc countries allied with the Soviet Union were "Second World", and most all the other non-allied countries were "Third World". However, in popular usage Third World came to imply impoverished" and "undeveloped" although it included countries such as Saudi Arabia and Uruguay with high per capita incomes. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1992 these categorizations have lost their relevance.

Today some commentators refer to "developed" versus "developing countries". However, the World Bank and IMF use a more neutral (non-judgmental) categorization based on four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. It might surprise some to learn that Colombia (and most all of South America) is classified as "Upper-Middle Income"--far removed from the "third world" implied stigma. See this link for a map and listing of these income categories by country:

Anyone thoughts from some people who have long term experience would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Interesting question and of course would depend on how you would live in Colombia. Will you be living in Poblado in a strata 5 or 6 neighborhood or a lower strata neighborhood. Are you going to be eating in fancy places or at home. Are you going to be patronizing with SW's, have some girlfriends, or whatever. Where are you going to park this money, was your intent to bring it in to Colombia? Maybe rephrase your question with some parameters as to what your expectations are, and perhaps others can help answer your question better.

Regardless, a guy could easily live in Medellin for twenty years on $ 500,000 if he invested his money wisely.

Anyone thoughts from some people who have long term experience would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]I had a nest egg that would be about that if adjusted for inflation from the time I retired 11 years ago. I have been living all over and I budget my shit right and I have about the same amount of inflation adjusted money as I did when I retired. Didn't work much, some, and have lived very comfortably. I think you are younger like maybe 40 but if you have a million after tax and ANY brains and skills at all, and have experience working on line, you should go for it. But don't think about interest. Think about capital gains. If you want money to last forever, you have to have substantial exposure to equities vs. Income-oriented investments.

Why would they have a need to be loyal or to not kiss anyone else that night? If you have an actual girlfriend then no she is not going around kissing any tom dick or harry. How is that even a thought? This is my actual girlfriend, but since she is Brazilian she has a tendency to go around the room kissing random strangers? That sounds ridiculous.

If a Colombian or Brazilian have a job, then they both go to them and work. If you judge on hookers alone, isn't it said here that Colombian hookers should be expected to be late? You do not see that in Brazil. I have had normal relationships with many Colombians and many Brazilians. They are both the same. If a woman anywhere loves you and wants to be with you then the relationship reflects that. It has nothing to do with having a yes woman who never tells you no about anything.

[QUOTE=CasaNoVa;2820309]As upper middle class I can choose to fly under the radar in a third world country. Not bring much attention on myself and have my budget extend way further. From cheap hotels to Hostels I've been able to stay in countries much longer not pay a premium for lodging and women and search for those diamonds in the rough in the slummier mongering locations. I speak Spanish fluently and have had great experiences without breaking the bank. For me a pretty comfy bed and a roof over my head is all I need. Plus meeting likeminded backpackers and world travelers from all walk of life is fun when staying in hostels. If I meet a higher maintenance type of girl I always have the option of a nicer love motel or booking a 5 star hotel for one or 2 nights if necessary. I'm not flashy nor am I dirty and unhygienic. Upper thirties, fit, decent looking white Latino dude and you will find me having fun in Santa Fe, Centro Medellin or Gringo Gulch CR. If I want to treat a great girl I find to luxury we can always take a trip somewhere like Guatape or the beach.

Analogy: I try not to assume well off people from any City when going out into the woods always go glamping. Maybe a tent and a sleeping bag and connecting with the raw somewhat dangerous nature of it all is exciting to some. To others maybe not.[/QUOTE]MiamiBoy is just being a ******* as usual. The fact of the matter is that- El Centro is the heart of Medellin and you can find people from all walks of life there. Wasting money just because you have it is stupid. Obviously, as he has proven time and time again with his arrogant posts, MB1 doesn't know the real Colombia, he stays in his plastic barrios fucking his plastic women that he overpays.

El Centro is much more than just Botero or Veracruz, it is the heart of the city where you can find anything your looking for whether that be bandeja paisa, paintings being sold by local artists, even shower heads and excellent quality knock off shoes. I myself like to sip on a 2 mil lemonade while sitting down and people watching.

As far as the prostitution goes sure there are a lot of undesirable hags in the Veracruz area but there are also beautiful, sweet diamonds in the rough to be found there, it just takes a little effort to find what you are looking for. To blow the whole place off is just asinine. But hey I guess if you've got "the coin" you can live in your own little arrogant world.

[QUOTE=Ullo200;2819361]Wow great to hear from someone who has personal experience with both hotels, I am planning to book one of them for one day and then decide where to spend rest to the time after looking on both when I reach there, I have to visit Medellin from August 3 to August 23 , I know that this area is a little dangerous (I have been there only 2 times but only in daylight) , do to think its too dangerous to stay there as you have personal experience staying that area?[/QUOTE]Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you, I've been pretty busy lately. The area is fine during the day, just don't go flashing around your "coin" or your IPhone 16 XL or whatever and you will be fine. I'd say be back in your hotel by no later than 9 pm but usually most the action moves to Poblado and Parque Lleras by the time, where the same girls charge guys like MB1 5 times more because they are gringos and have "the coin" LOL. But yea you will be fine in the Botero / Veracruz are during the day time hours.

Also if you want to save urself a little "coin" and put it to other uses such as a second polvo, and you don't mind walking a few blocks thru the scary congrete jungle, I would recommend the hotels on the other side of avenida oriental one block past Exito San Antonio. The area is called El Palo con El Huevo and there are several hotels there that will be even cheaper than Calle Real or Premier Plaza.
