Lol Portugal is where my wife wants to go when she retires . Pretty good healthcare system decent housing prices in areas and not a bunch of crime . Looks pretty damn good to me .I've been considering Portugal but doubt I will pull the trigger. I know some acquaintances that have lived there for a few years now and they absolutely love it. For foreigners the difference between Portugal and here, they WANT Americans and other Europeans to move there and have applied many incentives. Check it out...

Not to mention the gorgeous beaches and mild climate year round. They say two people can live comfortably on $2,000 - 2,400 a monthLol Portugal is where my wife wants to go when she retires .

If you want a easy transition that is cheap and somewhat American look into Panama. It had the easiest residency requirements for my family. It's a pain in the ass if you don't get your residency and have to leave the country every 60 or 90 days for a couple days to come back in and get another tourist Visa. It was also easy to start a business there. If you happen to need to get back to the US for any reason you can be back in Miami in a couple hours. You can also drive back in 2 days if you need to run some cocaine for some cash.
Panama had a ton of Americans there until we pulled out and gave the canal back to Panama. They also use the US dollar which makes it a little easier. They also did have it where you can bring in a car duty free every 2 years. Not sure if that changed or not. Costa Rica had a 80% duty tax so a car they value at 20,000 cost 16k to bring it in. Not sure if they changed it but they were a pain in the ass and made us go to Panama.

Me and my woman considered Sweden or Switzerland
I worked in a restaurant with a Panamanian woman .... if they all look like her I’m game! Total smoke show...
italy is awesome but its worse than portland criminals get away with murder if you pull a gun on your property to protect yourself the cops will take it from you, and the taxes are ridiculousMy wife wants to retire to either Washington state, which I told her is too fucking liberal, or Italy.
funny all yinz love this this country so much to tell people immigrants and minorities if you dont like it get the fuck out and also that these foreigners wouldnt fight for this country, then talk about leaving like whoopie golberg at the first sign of a tax increase

It just seems like a good idea sometimes and cheaper.
Do you actually make a shitload more money out there to offset the cost of housing?I will definitely leave California. Taxes are killing me.
I already had 50k of taxes taken this year and I was furloughed for several weeks and have been barely working, the taxes here are insane, but I wouldnt want to live anywhere else except maybe hawaii, but after a week or 2 there it gets boringDo you actually make a shitload more money out there to offset the cost of housing?

im from Cali also but luckily in my area the cost of living is reasonable. Anyone who’s been around here a while can pinpoint where I live based on my job lol but my area isn’t too bad. I do want to leave also though, somewhere less liberal would be nice. Texas or oklahoma sound great
Yeah that is one way but certainly not necessary, they welcome Americans in Mexico if you have money.
Any concern for the corrupt police and cartel or is this only in the movies? Id think being a well off American living in Mexico these would be very real risk.
What's a Mexican woman from Torreon squirt
