Pretty much made up my mind to leave the USA | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83249340 United States 05/19/2022 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. . |

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. .

I currently also have a physical store but it's getting harder and harder to deal with all the BS associated with that. Thats a plus, having an online business(as long as you don't have supply chain issues) will allow you many options. Go Galt. |

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! |

User ID: 81917740 United States 05/19/2022 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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.

You're also talking about leaving everyone behind instead of doing something about what you're bitching about when it's partially your fault. What a little bitch pissant. I fought for over a decade to wake people up and got spit on and called an idiot and a lunatic by all but a very few trying to save this country so no, it is not partially my fault. I'm done, retired. I am going to enjoy the rest of my life. My family refuses to come with me so I'm going and I will find a safe place for them to come to when it gets too bad for them to stay here. |

Agree... seriously looking at northern Canada. Rumour has it you get a free vaccines to enter unless you’re Ukrainian but wait there’s more. Free lockdowns with every new virus that comes along every icy cold winter. You also get involuntary boosters but only up till 11 so that might not be your cup of tea. But wait.......there’s more. If you get caught protesting you will have your bank accounts frozen so bring your gold and silver when you decide to escape your homeland. |
