Hello everyone!!!

Hey Cassandra - thanks for checking in. Thank you for watching 💕 and please forgive the delay in responding. Our recent MeetUps have thrown our schedule off. 😳 Let us know how we can help your journey. In the meantime, here are some resources that might help: bit.ly/OBUresources. You might also be interested in our private Facebook group - FIRE over 50, you don’t have to be over 50 but definitely from the diaspora: bit.ly/FIREover50 🙄

#replay from NC great conversation and it’s good to know that we can always pivot!! I’m planning to retire abroad in 2026 either in Mexico 🇲🇽 or Panama 🇵🇦 or Spain 🇪🇸. 🙏🏽OBU is 💎

AWWW Carol, you are so sweet 🥹. Yes, we can change our minds! Right now I'm still happy with our neighborhood, but I can already envision myself living in others - the same can be true city to city or country to country. We have friends that started in MX, now there in FR, and are in the process of moving to SP. We can do what we want to do! Thank you for watching 💕 and please forgive the delay in responding. Our recent MeetUps have thrown our schedule off. 😳

Before being able to listen to the full video and going off the caption alone, I think it's important that people research their city/country of interest and then visit frequently to truly get a feel for the environment... go to common local areas (read NOT the tourist attractions) to truly watch how people move and to get a sense and feel of the social environment. Personally, even when I'm semi-retired and/or retired and living in a different country, which I plan to do, I'm going to be in that country for a stretch at a time. So, for example, I'll go back and forth every 3-4 months or being that I live in the Midwest, at times I'll be in one country during the winter months and back in the United States during the summer months.

Halisi and Ric, tell those folks to hit that like button. Also, I know that we don't agree about Portugal, but my love is unconditional, and I will always support you guys. Um abraco!

​@@OurBlackUtopiaHi Halisi & Ric! I don't know if you know that Father's Day in Portugal is on March, 19, because it's Saint Joseph's Day. Mother's Day is on the first Sunday of May. "The next time you go anywhere"... but on vacation, right? You're not leaving Portugal, are you?!

Japanese use 3 types of writing: Kanji, Katakana and Hiragana. Kanji is from China and I think it has more than 5000 characters (each "letter" means a lot of things because it's kinda pictorical) and I don't know, but I think that the other two are regular alphabets and each letter is an actual letter (I might be wrong, though!). 😊
