Re: Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA
I knew the trolls would be all over this like I owe the USA to stay here and watch it burn to the ground from the inside. I get it. I understand people love their country and will never leave. I love what the USA used to be, but it's dead now and it isn't coming back. I've probably only got 20 years left and I can live on the beach for dirt cheap so that's what I'm gonna do. I don't care what anybody else thinks about it. I posted this because I know there are a lot of you out there thinking the same thing.
 Quoting: Zetetic Ben


the time to leave was 20 years ago. I almost went
to Costa Rica. but take a clue from McAfee in
Belize. You're out of time to grow organic
relationships, you'll stand out in SA if you're white,
be resented and a target.

I have two friends my age, they both own boats and
live 50/50 in PNW and Mexico. but they've been
doing it for years, probably doing some drug trade,
they're a known quantity with a relatkonship value.

And go where?
USA is a cesspool of shit, but it's better than anywhere else on this god forsaken planet.

Somewhere in South America overlooking the ocean. I can still make money as long as I have an internet connection.

There are some good expat youtube channels
 Quoting: Zetetic Ben




So you found a place where all the people left and illegally invaded the US - so its empty now?

I've been wondering what country would empty first cuz all their people are illegally invading the US.

Fess up. Where is it?

Sane Americans need a place to go.

Instead of leaving the USA, just reposition yourself to another PART of the USA. Figure out the best area that matches YOU.

Enjoy your trip. When you go check out a place, go to meet the mayor and stop at whatever catholic hole along the way and drop 500. Because the mayor is how you get everything done and donations make you a "respectable citizen" now.

Believe it or not, by choosing to incarnate on this planet, you had a spiritual plan set up for this lifetime. Doesn't matter where you live, your spiritual plan remains the same. You can't escape destiny, nor your current state of consciousness. Your deluded if you think the grass is greener on the other side.

The only way to change your life circumstance is to have a change of heart or consciousness. If you can accept your life situation with gratitude, and seek to do good and noble deeds to all people you meet, this will reflect back to you a situation you can live with. Blessings to you to find the inner light!

Re: Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA
OP, Went on a blind date, long before the pandemic, with an ex-pat who'd left Vegas for Costa Rica.

Yes he still returned annually to Vegas to briefly visit with his family and old friends.

So I asked him his very honest opinion of life abroad. Keep in mind he retired in his early 40's and is child-free, single, loves the beach & mountains. Yes he learned Spanish.

1) Locals view Westerners as rich, petty theft is rampant and local LE are lackadaisical.

2) If you're not Catholic & didn't grow up in Costa Rica you will always be viewed as an outsider. You can't own a business unless you marry a local. Not being Catholic he spent Sundays at the local Italian restaurant with the other ex-pats. (Owner married a young local girl.)

3) Bugs are a HORRIFIC problem and are EVERYWHERE especially during the rainy season. Think HUGE bugs in the toilet, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. NOTHING gets rid of them.

4) Anything that's not locally grown/made is very expensive. He arranged for family members to buy products from Amazon and then to ship it to him to save money. Took forever to get simple needed goods.


Yes he still loved living in Costa Rica and got used to all of the downfalls. Still be forewarned.

Have a couple great friends costa rica bound right now. Insist believe it at first but they are making their final preps to go. The concept would have shocked me to expat 25 years ago. Nowadays I'm not gonna say the thought hasn't crossed my mind if the financials behind it were correct.
