[@erikfrndz7477]

Hermosa entrevista. Este tipo estudio a la perfeccion como funciona este pais

[@SebastianBorges-g2m]

Patrcia, just saw the video, your guest was very certain in most points, however summer time it is coming and love to invite you to visit here❤!

[@KennedyS123]

Excellent content 🎉

[@gustavoalbarrazin7924]

Welcome to our beautiful country 🇺🇾😜👍👏

My grandpa always said. If you like Argentina, go to Uruguay, it's just like Argentina but better in every aspect.

[@moirbasso7051]

Yup. He comes from Asheville all right.

[@alidarotondaro]

Most European country in South America ❤

[@gbbarn]

Just checked, it’s the whitest country in all of america lol. An introvert's paradise; tiny population, tons of beachfront up for grabs. It reminds me of 80s singapore.

[@leoncallero]

Hello, how are you? I am Uruguayan, and a great recommendation to make to foreigners who come on vacation or for not so long stays, is to pay with debit or credit, the state returns between 12% With 23% of what is consumed, the VAT tax, you can have some money in currency, but electronic payment by card or Google pay is very widespread. And starting at $1,500 a month you can already vacation decently, if you are interested in more comfortable places like Punta del Este consider more than $2,500 to $3,000

Uruguay is carnivore heaven. It must have the best quality meat in the world.

[@sandrabedard7848]

Perfect. Full Carnivore here 😋

[@ROBERTTIMCO]

300 km of Atlantic Ocean so the seafood is fantastic as well

[@ByeByeLatam]

it does not unfortunately. the good meat is exported and uruguay has by far the worst food in the world

[@boink800]

[@crruan1142]

Argentina has THE highest inflation index on earth, higher even than places like Venezuela and Zimbawe. For reasons too long to explain here, ARG currency collapses about every 10-12 year cycles. U CANNOT compare the price differentials betwen URU and ARG. They are two completely different planets, economically speaking. People who are considering moving to URU should get qualified advice regarding cost of living because URU is NOT a developing country and CoLA is quite higher than most places in the WH.

you must speak Spanish well in order to obtain citizenship

Sounds great, but progressive is not always a positive.

[@alwong8477]

Yup. Progressive in USA means riots, sidewalk drug dens, homeless living on streets, crime everwhere. I don't think they mean this place is like California! Very idealistic folks speaking!! Let's just say it's a functioning liberal democracy that acts as a buffer state between two large rival countries. And leave the narrow university educationed USA perspective out of it.

[@ROBERTTIMCO]

hey, it makes your choice really simple then I guess,

[@akken2112]

Progressive is positive unless you're a reactionary.

[@riumudamc4686]

especially when it turns into a crime ridden hellhole like portland, or, san fran, parts of chicago and new york because of "progressive" paralysis on managing crime (which has victims)

[@akken2112]

@@riumudamc4686 News flash numbnutts: Crime isn't caused by "progressive paralysis on managing crime", research clearly shows a positive correlation between income inequality and crime. How about turning off Faux "News" and reading some books.🙄

[@ContrarianExpatriate]

Been there. Decent enough. But boring as all hell!

[@PP-uv1kw]

Boreing can be a good thing

[@boink800]

I love boring.

[@adrianfelipelopezbaltodano7902]

That sounds great to retire

[@goedelite]

Interests are an inner matter, not a matter of what can be found in the streets. I one does not have developed interests, he is poorly uneducated.

[@alidarotondaro]

Depens where you go. It has everything ❤

[@ByeByeLatam]

Should You Retire in Uruguay? NO! Only if you want to lose all your money and marbles. You will leave with half or less of your money, and with PTSD.

[@susanedwards6532]

Why?

[@johnsumma4847]

Why would I lose my marbles?

[@ByeByeLatam]

@@johnsumma4847 because if you come from a high trust nation, you would slowly but surely question your sanity, if 1. what you are seeing is for real 2. and you will then wonder if it is you 3. then you will understand it is not - and then you can stockholm yourself into believing you can just live with it and ignore it (you will have to if you invested a lot) - stealing, lying, coersion, plain horrible indecent behaviour in every sense if you are used to high trust. read up on abuse. abusive behaviour. uruguay will be your abusive partner . the techniques are the same. the PTSD afterwards is real. good luck

[@ByeByeLatam]

@@johnsumma4847 locals will sue you for anything. and they will win. you are a target. if you like your sanity and your money, go invest it in a first world nation. south america is a major red flag, no matter what paid influencers tell you. over 90% of people run for the hills after living there for a little while
