    This video was the real deal. Don't allow fear to keep you from your purpose. I am in the process of moving to South Africa from Alabama. May your videos keep inspiring others. Change is good embrace. Thanks Jay

      Thanks, and I don't blame you. I'm too a Alabama guy from Mobile. Leaving the US has been a great decision thus far. Congratulations on your move to South Africa.

    It’s totally normal to feel doubt when making any major change in life. I just got a new job and at first I was super excited and now that I’m about to actually leave my current position after 27 years, and start a new one next week, I am scared out of my mind.

    • @JayAbroad

      Exactly, that how it is. And you're right it's very normal. Congratulations on your new job.

    Its very normal to feel like that...thats why its best to just do it, rather than planning ahead, when you're in the motion of doing it, you can't just turn around when you feel cold feet...but if you plan it out, then yeah, its very very easy to back out when those feelings come, and they're gonna come....its totally normal, happens to us all. I've moved internationally so many times now, I can't wait to do it again...once you break the ice, you realize it ain't that bad at all...if it ever makes you feel good, you can always think that if it doesn't work out, you can always go back...but you never will. Life is an adventure, live it, don't let life tell you how to live.

    Man, I can't wait to be out. The only thing I'm sweating is managing the preparing the property at a distance. The move will be gravy once I can navigate the particulars. I've got a 2 year plan until it's me and everything in the DR. I wish it could be tomorrow.

    When I took the leap of faith that I could leave everything behind in Indiana and move to Florida I was completely convinced that I was not doing the right thing at the right time, almost paralyzed with anxiety that was moving things into storage the night into early morning before I closed on selling my home…. My dearest of friends gave me the push and encouragement that I needed to understand that I was prepared and that I would succeed and thrive… That I was strong enough to overcome any obstacle… She was right, God plays a very powerful role in providing me with strength… Now as I am working towards retirement I know that I can do it again and leave the USA and Continue my life… Thank you for being so honest and understanding of the challenges that leaving all that you know can be a blessing… Continue success to you and your family…

    Bro, you explained many of the emotions I went through as I was preparing for my new chapter here in the DR. I looked around at my home and what I created there and saw the boxes filled with things I was giving away , I made my son a happy man, and I realized yeah it's real...I have arrived and I'm here and still getting in the flow and I'm happy I made the move ....

    This is the type of videos we need! More motivation for people to take that step to move and change! Keep it up! Your story is very similar to mine.
    I moved from Puerto Rico to FL. I live in Hollywood, FL and I been wanting to move to Colombia because of cost of living and life style. I know that online jobs can be a hit or miss because they can always fire you on the spot. That’s when I decided in 2021 to start buying real state. (Houses below 200k and 2% interest rates)
    I started coming up with down payments from doing Uber on the side and using business line of credit as down payment. The rents payed off the business line of credit (15 months 0% interest that helped)
    Bought 3 single family houses with a big lot were I knew I can turn the single family houses to triplexes.
    Fast foward now I turned the single family houses into triplex by using business line of credit and now I have over $4,000 a month in rent after expenses.
    Now I’m 14 months away from moving to Colombia. All I have to do is pay the business line or credit off I took of the construction and I’m out of FL.

    I hate them flies, too, hahaha. You're right. Once I purchased my plane ticket and showed my wife, it hit me. It's official no turning back. Then I thought about my two months there previously. Had so much fun. I got hyped and thought of my favorite beer spot i usually go to for cold presidente, cigars and music. I miss that spot. I ready 21 days and 13 hours to go. Appreciate the video sir💯🔥🔥🔥

      What I do with my wife to get her on board with big decisions is I explain the vision, the reason for it, the steps we will need to take to get there, potential pitfalls if things don't work out, potential results if things do work out and how it can benefit the family. To disagree it has be real logic behind it, it can't be because you just don't want to. Because the burden always falls on the man.

    Would you still get U.S. pension if you don’t go back? Or is that something you’re not worried about? It somewhat seems like a way to stop people from leaving.

    • @JayAbroad
      @JayAbroad  19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I think you are referring to social security retirement because pensions are different and not all Americans receive pensions. But to answer your question yes I will get retirement when I turn 62 whether I live in the US or not.
