IMO, it's definitely not worth living in Asia anymore, unless you are really into the culture
I see that you have no accompanying statistics, explanation or rational to go along with your statement which appears to be based on nothing.
I know a great deal of young men who have improved themselves, their lifestyle and their future by choosing to live in Asia.
What do you know?
Calm down, Captain China. I did make this post, which you +1'd:

I did say it was my opinion, and I should have been more specific. Living in Asia for a while can be a great experience. But I couldn't recommend settling down there -- which is what the OP is implying -- especially if he hasn't established himself first.
There's a lot of talk online about "leaving the west forever", often with an almost desperate ring to it, like it's going to solve all of your problems. But as a foreigner, the odds are stacked against you, it's not easymode, at least not anymore, and you need to spend at least twice the amount of money for a lifestyle comparable to back home. I mean, in China, you're looking at up to $30,000 for a fucking parking space. If the OP really wants to live abroad and doesn't have an income stream of some kind, he's probably better off first returning to the west and focusing on it 100%. Otherwise, he could be teaching English for years with no real future and nothing to show for it.
