I've lived in a third World country for 20 years of my life and I will be the first to tell you how terrible it is for most people. There are 0 opportunities for anyone, very low social mobility and most people are stuck in the rut in deadening job but the script completely flips if you have money.
You can eat out at great restaurants every night, travel regionally without breaking the bank, send your kids to international schools, access private healthcare that's world class. You'll be able to afford whatever you want, live in gated communities with top notch security, hire full time household staff, maids, drivers, cooks for pennies,live in large bunglows on lots of land and basically experience a level of luxury and service that only High net worth individuals in the West can get.
It's why so many expats, retirees, and digital nomads flock to third world. A recent trend I've personally seen is many NRI Indians, Chinese and South East Asian Techcels in silicon valley retiring in their home countries after a few years of grinding in america. There are entire enclaves of these people in some areas like Ex-Google, Ex-Microsoft, Ex Amazon, Ex Goldman Sachs employees who worked in America for like 5-10-15 years and later retired in their home countries very early. Like these people aren't that old. Early to late 30s most of them are, they spend their doing some kind of hobby or owning a low effort buisness not to make money but to pass time
Without money yes third world is terrible, it's grinding poverty, corruption, poor infrastructure, and limited opportunities and is 100% a shithole. But with money. It's a different story entirely
