Economic Leverage

Today I met a guy who runs a Sim card store here in Phnom Penh, and super interesting; he lived abroad in Korea for about 7 to 8 years, made a bunch of money, and started his own business back here is local Cambodia Phnom Penh. Which makes me think:

One of the most intelligent things you could do is leverage economies, money and labor.

For example, it is crazy; here in Phnom Penh, you can hire a full-time living housemaid/nanny for only $200 US a month.

Also, here in Phnom Penh and Cambodia, your dollar goes at least 10 times as far. Therefore, if you could leverage your money at least 10x here, why would you live back home in the states?
