I'm an American and I've been living in Uruguay for the past two years, and I love it. In a lot of ways (especially healthcare) it's an upgrade from the USA. I feel safer, freer, and the only thing I really miss is cheddar cheese. The Spanish takes a lot of getting used to if you're only familiar with Mexican Spanish, and there is a fair amount of bureaucracy, but it's all manageable and part of the adventure. I have a software business in the US that pays the bills, and Uruguay, as a country with a population that isn't really growing, is very welcoming to new residents. I've heard that looking for work here is hard if you're a foreigner, so you should have your finances in order before coming.

[@jasontoddchampion]

Spent time in both and I personally prefer Uruguay for the scenery at Punta Del Este, and the overall safety too. Paraguay has cheaper meat, I stayed by Paseo La Galeria and Shopping Del Sur last year in Asuncion for 2 months, the steakhouses are awesome and cheap. That’s the new city center of Asuncion, it’s okay for staying for a while, but easily gets boring after a few weeks. The parks or rivers in the countryside has poor development. Main problem being Paraguay is not as developed as Uruguay in the countryside, and the old cities are more run down. Plus there’s less natural scenery in Paraguay as it’s mainly a plain. Personally I’m used to country or suburban life in California Nevada and Colorado. Uruguay shares similar feelings when it comes to the quietness and lifestyle. Especially in the coastal suburbs in Montevideo. And near Trump Hotel in Punta Del Este, it’s sparkling clean, empty streets, modern buildings, fabulous too. A trip from Montevideo to Punta Del Este shows the infrastructure of Uruguay is generally very good. And for big city lifestyle, Punta Carretas in Montevideo is very good too. Montevideo’s city life is way better than Asuncion, a daily bike ride by the sea is just fabulous in Montevideo. Lively and safe. Although the costs of things are way higher in Uruguay. An issue I had in Uruguay was the internet speed in Uruguay, however with Starlink it should be great. Paraguay for affordability. Uruguay for lifestyle.

How would you compare Argentina to Paraguay? And to Uraguay, though I think there's a big difference from Argentina now to Uruguay. My understanding is that Argentina is VERY cheap if you're coming with US or Canadian money. But the economic challenges drive more crime. That's the story. However, I know its not that simple in a place that big. Are the places in Argentina that would be as safe as most of Uruguay? Like you, I don't do well in very hot places. I suspect southern Argentina is cooler, but do people move there? Is it cheaper? And safe? And what can you say about the interior of Uruguay? How far do you need to go from the city to find cheaper land/homes/etc. ?? Thanks for the info :)

Uruguayan here, working for the US and also have companies here. I don't know personally Paraguay only via friends. Uruguay is beautiful, people are kind (mostly lol) Not so much crime etc Lived 15 years in Punta del Este beautiful city, in winter it's a ghost town and a calm place. Summer is when young people come. The Majority of the population is in interior (countryside) then Montevideo (capital) I lived in the states part of my life and I can compare both. The problems with Uruguay are mostly regulation and import taxes. There some free zones for exporting also. But buying a car here will be 2 or 3 times more expensive, our gas is very expensive. IRAE tax Hiring has it's issues very strong regulations on that Taxed with brackets IRPF DGI which is the tax agency is hard to navigate, you have to have a good CPA. Mainly the next issue will be the government, we had for 20 years that was socialists in nature, added most of the red tape and regulations. Lacalle Pou is more center, but he will not be relected and we will go back to a socialist government with no regard for budgets and government spending just giving stuff away. Hope we can continue to be a great country, but we may go back if they go to wild with a big government. Hope this helps a bit.

[@santicomp]

From Uruguay, I have companies here. The issue with cars is IRAE. Its a tax for cars and other luxury assets. Based on also the displacement of the engine. Custom are hell here in Uruguay, if you bring something taxes importing go from 30 to 120% or more. DGI is the tax agency is very keen on getting you're money, A lot of regulation, if you plan to move here get a good CPA that knows Uruguay. The problem is we had a socialist leannin government for 20 years, had more center government for these past 4 years. We might go back to a socialist schema, and this will be hell again. 😂😂😂

[@Aviationanimations]

You don't need a modern car there. An early 2000s, 90s, 80s would do just fine for most people, and they can be had for cheap ($3k-$4k). You can get a VW bug for 3k in good running condition. Lots of parts for those classics and cheap to maintain. I saw lots of E30 bimmers, E28's etc. There's a bunch of older Peugeot cars (built like tanks which is good). But yeah, if you want something newer you'll pay with your life lol But overall the country is way too expensive unless you own property (which is much cheaper than in the states) and even then it's still an expensive country. Southern Argentina, in the areas far away from the cities (and crime), is the place to possibly look at with its Philippine prices but modern amenities.

[@santicomp]

@Aviationanimations a buggy is fine, parts are available. But the bmw or peugeot can be expensive to maintain since they are premium and the components are more scarce. There are cheaper chevrolet or other brands, and a flood of chineese cars that are cheap. I agree that property is cheaper here, but you also have high housing taxes . I don't know, maybe I'm a bit biased, but there are cheaper places, this might be one of the most expensive in the area. Oh, and don't get me started on inheritance tax 🙄 lol

The state is huge relatively to the size of the population which puts a huge burden on everyone in terms of the cost of living. There are still some relatively safe spots if you get far enough from the capital and go to the east or far north. A couple of years back we got a chance to move from Uruguay to Australia, we're never coming back.

Paraguay would actually be freer than 1950s America if it's a 1 for 1 match with how things were done back then since the one down side about 1950s America was taxes were actually super high, around 75% for the highest bracket if I'm not mistaken.

[@clintweathers4755]

"Western decadence", like modern plumbing and cleaner water. Dios mio!

[@isaakwalton4610]

Me like decadence of almost any stripe...@@TiagoLennertz

Uruguay: Your foreign dividents/income taxed - No, thanks! Several times more expensive than Argentina and Paraguay - No, thanks! Montevideo is more boring even than Asuncion, never mind Buenos Aires, so - No, thanks! 100% tax on cars - No, thanks!

Nomad Capitalist...you're about two generations too late...as there are few options with such a weak currency. In the 60s I believe it was Foder's that had a guide entitled...Europe on 5$ a day....Now it's 500

[@cars2drive298]

There s no comparison possible between Paraguay a jungle underdeveloped country and Uruguay the best managed country in all of South America ! But none resemble Switzerland as they are flat as the palm of your hand 😂

[@isaakwalton4610]

Well, as one poster said, it's easy to manage the populace when nearly every square foot has cctv coverage. Btw, i checked my palm and it's not very flat - maybe the priest was right...

[@davidepatti4835]

Thx for deleting my comment. Consequences. Btw as a Swiss, absolutely incomperable, not even taxes.

[@montakute1328]

That could be YT or the channel. Lucky you weren't banned instead by some tyrant - both YT and this channel are infamous for that. Content is interesting but censorship is NOT cool.

The only thing in Uruguay that is swiss - the prices.

[@jasontoddchampion]

@@vioreliachim5646Wrong. There is a town called Nueva Helvecia (New Switzerland) that was populated by Swiss immigrants in the late 1800's, and it's still retained a lot of Swiss culture. It's where "queso Colonia" comes from, which is a Swiss-style cheese and practically the national cheese. I was in a chocolate shop there last week, and the owner still wears the full regalia, lederhosen and all.

[@vioreliachim5646]

@@jasontoddchampion Wrong. The cheese got its name from Departamento Colonia. Swiss colonies are all over South America, not only Nueva Helvecia.

[@jasontoddchampion]

@@vioreliachim5646No. It got its name from Colonia Suiza, en Departamento de Colonia, where it was invented. Colonia Suiza later changed its name to Nueva Helvecia.

[@hernansalazar1382]

I lived in Uruguay for a year, do not recommend if you aren't white, tons of racism over there. Population's very far leaning as well.

[@isaakwalton4610]

Very far leaning in which direction? ⬅ or ➡?

uruguay is a white country. paraguay is an indian country. Needless to say, one is high-trust and one is low-trust. use your pattern recognition to figure it out.

[@Bitcoin_BlackPill]

many Brazilians living in these two countries to avoid taxes

[@TiagoLennertz]

You don't have to live there. All you have to do is setup a business entity in either country as they are territorial tax countries and members of Mercosul so you get all of that too. Then you only pay yourself what you can't expense legally through your business. I like both Paraguay and Uruguay but I prefer to live in Southern Brasil. Go flag theory in your strategy, meu amigo.

[@gloriabecker5515]

So true, the same with colombians they all go to many different places in Argentina❤

[@TiagoLennertz]

My best expat friend who lived in Paraguay for 2 years moved to Argentina in December 2023 and says by comparison Paraguay is several levels lower in living conditions. He said Paraguay was a good stepping stone but he will not go back. Funny how Andrew nor his internal expert did not mention that Paraguay is a Mercosul country and how much things open up to a person with a Mercosul cedula with regards to the other Mercosul nations. Maybe he does not know about that.@JG-MV

[@riedodenise1236]

I live in Paraguay for 10 years. Midsize Farm, private water, solar, animals, food countryside. Also a house near Asuncion. Do not work. Paraguay is absolutely fine if you have enough currency. Business is nearly impossible. People are very poor and it is visible. Education super low. People are nice but also false due to their low possibility for earning money. Spanish a must. Europeans here are looking for making profits from other Europeans. Keep away from them. My people are native Paraguayos, well educated, and farmers. Swiss, lic.oec. Paraguay

[@isaakwalton4610]

"Mi gente son paraguayos nativos". ¿Y suizos a la vez? Perdóname la baja nivel de educación, mas que significa lic.oec.

[@ianpk5234]

@riedodenise1236 Hi, what area is your farm in and how is the heat and internet there? Thanks!

No discuss that the most developed country in south America is Brazil!! Also in many states like Santa Catarina or Rio Grande do Sul.. you live better and safe!!!

I left Brasil as I can't stand the Detran, Stifling cameras, fascist radars and now Xandrau de Moraes turning the place into a Stalin type dictatorship

paraguay al least 60% cheaper that uruguay and about 50% that brasil.

[@marcionero7412]

paraguay is perfect with money if you want to get lost and not be found. the extreme south of paraguay is a lot cooler that the rest. no left no woke in paraguay, a very good thing. quite machista country also,
