also, LANGUAGE! learning the language of the country you want to move to, say if you’re someone who cannot feasibly/ realistically plan a move right this minute-e.g. students-doing your research on the country you want to move to, then learning the language beforehand is crucial. even if you don’t end up moving to that country where the language you’re learning is spoken, it’s still beneficial to some degree. for example, if you learn one of the romance languages (e.g. Spanish) but end up moving to Portugal instead of, say, Mexico, there’s still so many similarities between Portugese and Spanish and will, perhaps, make language learning easier when you do move.

Gina, I understand what you’re saying, there are lots of travel/live abroad KZbin channels out there, but it’s difficult to find ones that are more fitting for you. I don’t have a KZbin channel, but I watch a variety and try to take what I can from those that offer info that’s better suited to my circumstances, which for KZbin are quite unique. I’m retired, black, a transgender woman from the US and I’ve been living abroad for almost 2 years now. Interestingly enough, it was Dan of vagabond Buddha who really got me inspired and he’s nothing like me, except he talks about doing this on a small budget and that got my attention. I only have social security, so not a lot of wiggle room, but you’d be surprised at how far that money can go outside the US. Wherever you get your information I wish you success in your endeavors!

@@ginarivers3779 I live in Cuenca, Ecuador and I’ve been here for the past three months. Before that I lived in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 17 months and San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico for 1 month. I’ve found costs in all these cities to be comparable and can vary from $850 to $1,500 USD a month depending on how you want to live. I’m very frugal and even with my prescriptions I spend on average about $850 USD a month and I want for nothing. Now I don’t eat out except on rare occasions just for a change as I don’t mind cooking, ( I’m not happy with the prep and clean up though) but I have the time for all that and I am particular about what goes into my food and I’m also vegetarian. I also only occasionally drink, I just bought my second bottle of wine yesterday since I’ve been here. Something that amazes me is that the US claims to be the best at everything yet I’ve never paid more than $500 a month for a fully furnished apartment and I mean fully furnished: furniture, stove, refrigerator, bed linens, towels, kitchen utensils, pots and pans and WiFi. There’s free WiFi just about everywhere you go. I never had that in the US. And just my thing I decided I didn’t want to live in any country that was home to colonizers and even though Latin America isn’t black, there are plenty of brown and black people here, so no one looks at you funny, although I do get a few looks because my fashion is Goth and some are curious about that. So I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions I can answer. Hasta luego!

Portugal is a great country to live in Europe. Amazing climate, food, education and health system. You can get the NHR/D7 visa which is easy to obtain. You can also get a mortgage in Portugal, avoiding the current abusive rents, with only 20% or 30% downpayment showing your 1040F, paystubs and credit score. Remember to maintain your job until signing the deed here in Europe (process can he done entirely remotely using a local lawyer) then you are free to leave rhe US! If you want to retire on the next 5 to 10 years you can buy now and rent the property until you come. Happy Easter!

New Zealand is definitely not cheap, I can testify because I lived there from the UK, everything is imported and because of its location, goods are expensive

[@goodenergi]

yes i didn’t say it was cheap

[@houseofmarshall]

you said verbatim that Nz and Australia has a low cost of living

[@goodenergi]

@@houseofmarshall I did not. You misheard me. The verbatim quote from 3:33 is "The reason that New Zealand and Australia are really good is NOT because they have a low cost of living BUT because the visa options are really good. You can stay there for 1-2 years on a working holiday visa". If you have the verbatim quote with timestamps to support your original statement, feel free to insert them.

Awesome video, just the video I needed. Researching options now Costa Rica, Mexico or Portugal. Thanks for giving us some great advice.. Will definitely be watching😊

[@pippilongstocking-qs7fm]

Your choices of destinations are wonderful. I've been to Mexico & Costa Rica many times but never Portugal. Portugal looks amazing & calm. I've been watching My Portugal Dream, & Indie project on YT to see their incredible dreams come to fruition.

I like this video! I moved to Japan at 21 and have been living here and working since 2018. I’m moving back to the USA for a few years (I don’t want to but I gave my word). However, I want to move to a Spanish speaking country in the future so this video is sooo interesting and helpful, I’ve done this moving internationally thing obviously BUT advice like this always helps because moving somewhere like Japan vs somewhere like Costa Rica are sooo different, especially due to visas and stuff! Thanks for the video. I’m subscribing ❤️

Amazing! Here to support forever! My goal is to move to Europe ultimately, but that does require a decent amount of money. I’m lucky enough to get a dual citizenship instantly since my father is from Mexico. So I’m thinking move to Mexico to cut my cost of living and go to school in the UK… eyyyy. It’s not perfect but it’s something. (I say the UK since I know people that live there).

[@davidmann2524]

Good info, but W2 jobs are going to fire you immediately if they find out you moved out the country and spent more than 6 months outside country. They face massive fines. 1099 and self employment are only two true options if you want to truly move out. Edit - also be weary about suggesting Nomad List for prices….might be accurate for AirBNBs but waaaay low on long term rentals. Numbeo is better bet to gauge prices.

[@chrystalmontgomery5971]

Loved your video. I’m almost 50 and recently had to go on ssi sadly(I miss working) and now I feel like I’m nothing more than garbage. Struggle to survive, afford food etc. I worked, payed taxes, did everything right. Everyone looks down on me now. This country sadly is not what it once was. I didn’t think leaving was possible but you have shown it is! Thanks!!!

I’m Just at shock !! Never thought I see the day with Americas saying this! 😱

[@zeemc2751]

Many people I know has said the same thing. America has gone bonkers. It's so out of order. People are so full of hate, education has gone to a all time low, women have no rights over their bodies, it's okay for everyone to carry guns, the vaxxs against non-vaxxed. The list go on and on. I never wanted to stay in the U.S. since I was a teen.

[@rafiqjennings5262]

I’ve heard many people say they wanted to leave the country before 2016 and after 2016. I’m just glad to actually find one of the few Americans who actually walk that talk. and your video is a good quick intro guide on how to live abroad. I’m not sure about New Zealand or Australia because of the negative feedback I’ve gotten from people there on their Covid zero policies. Interesting that you mentioned universities. A friend of mine got her veterinarian medicine degree in England and the curriculum was straightforward, without any unneeded or required liberal arts courses, which allowed her to finish her studies in her early 20s. And yes I’ve been a believer of what Eryka Badu said and that is to pack lite.

[@DouradaBambina]

This is great! I’m so jaded living in San Diego that I even gonna restrict myself from socializing with other Americans while abroad.

[@kevinquintanilla-toledo4170]

What a great video! It is very impressive and congratulations on your success so far. Especially at your age! I am 30 and we are doing a test run. I am married with 3 kids and we are about to go to El Salvador and just see how long we can last out there. I loved the links and information that you provided and thank you again.

[@goodenergi]

why did you choose el Salvador?

[@kevinquintanilla-toledo4170]

@@goodenergi Short answer it has the tropical weather we are looking for along with cheaper cost of living compared to where we live now. They made Bitcoin legal tender in September 2021 and that brought it a ton of interest from people all over the world. They similar in size as Costa Rica but they make less money in tourism. I think in the next couple years this will change and politically it seems to be a pretty good fit for us. There are less rules to follow as in Covid vaccine requirements, freedom to choose what you want while still having options. I think it would be a good time to buy a commercial property or even residential property and get into real estate down there. Currently we have 5 rental properties and would like to diversify into a different country. We will also visit Guatemala and Mexico. The other big thing is El Salvador is investing a huge amount of money on their infrastructure and farming. They want to become producers of their own food vs importing foods from other countries. Along with those previous investments they are also investing in thermal energy, which is also apart of Bitcoin mining. The biggest takeaway is they are trying to produce food, energy, and provide value to other countries. This will make them a big player if successful on a global scale. What worries me is how the US is handling Energy, Food and we don't produce anything. El Salvador is trying to do what Singapore did when they became their own country. I think they can do it but it will take time. I compare El Salvador to Southern CA I think it will be a go to destination in the future but I don't know exactly when. Any way that is my reason why lol.
