Little lady: the PI is an OK place to live only if you have money. Most local/native people have no money, low skills, and jobs are very scarce. That’s why they move to the US, for the jobs and the higher wages.
On the other hand, if you already have money, then the PI is desirable for its low costs, cheap labor (think maids, gardeners, etc.), and warm weather. Of course, poverty and corruption result in a number of problems that any prospective expatriate should consider along with the positives.
