I Want to Move!

I was listening to a person talk about their recent move to a South American country and how different life is there compared to life in America. Think about a place totally layed back. Very little crime. People aren't walking around with name brand purses, clothes, etc. No statis symbols. No advertising and brain washing. No one telling you what is cool or what you need to do to 'fit in'. People aren't yelling, they mind their own business, police are nice and personable. The temp is about 75 every day. It's family oriented, multi generational families, people are friendly and respectful. You can't get frozen foods, they don't use preservatives. Insurance is cheap. Like is slow, the speed limit is 25 MPH. You can buy a house for $30,000! You can live there and get Social Security from the U.S. Can you imagine? What am I doing still here? And, are you ready for this? No Trump!

It is very rare to find a place in South America with little crime. They have way more crime in general than we do.

@AmbiePam You are right Amber criminality is very high in South America. Our myLot friend Marguisha has already been robbed twice inside her home.

Other places in this world certainly sound more appealing these days. A friend and I talk a lot about places where any of us could potentially move to . . . fun to think about yet crazy we are thinking about it as almost a necessity .

I have never had an interest in that part of the world.

I see videos on YouTube about Americans moving to other countries, some are happy and some end up returning to the States because things didn't turn out like they thought they would.
