As someone who has lived abroad as a nomad in less developed countries it’s always a trade off.
Developed countries with higher taxes generally get you clean air, parks and green spaces, walkable cities, roads and footpaths are maintained, sanitation, food hygiene, healthcare, driving rules that are enforced, less risk of random accident / death etc.
It’s more exciting and superficially you can feel a higher level of ‘freedom’ in cheaper places if you have the money, but ironically they often have pretty brutal laws if you get caught doing the wrong thing.
