    I'm surprised, regarding Costa Rica, that you did not mention the problem of legal squatting. There are lots of scary stories about this happening there. When you buy a house, you must have a Costa Rican co-sign for it. They are the legal owner. This is a measure that Costa Rican has taken to prevent their country from being bought up by richer foreigners. Also, when you are not in your house, and you will probably want to not be there during the majority of the year when it rains a lot every day, Costa Ricans can legally squat in your house, and they may pretend to be caring for your house in your absense, but good luck getting your house back. Buyer beware.

    • @startabroad4592
      @startabroad4592  23 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +17

      Hi David, you actually don't need to have a Costa Rican co-sign to own a house. You are the legal owner of property here. (Personally, I bought a house last year and recently went through the process myself). But squatters rights are important to be aware of. You need to check on your property regularly in Costa Rica once you're an owner - people have had problems when they haven't visited or checked on their properties for over a year.

      You buy private insurance. Countries with good healthcare have 2-level systems. Universal care provided by the govt + best care through private insurance. Spain has one of the best national HC systems in the world. Look at life expectancy. Compared to Spain, America is pathetically low. Moving to Spain or Portugal is no-brainer if you have sufficient income. You will also find better HC in Columbia or Ecuador. Romance languages are the easiest to learn.

      The USA has basically the worst health care on Earth. Unless you are moving to some country in Africa no one has heard of, the care will be better. The caveat being many places do require you to pay some cash for care, so if you're on US Medicare as a person who will never be able to pay Medicare back (which is a lot of people in the US) then you are better off in the US until Trump cancels Medicare in mid 2025.

    Unfortunately, I'm on disability. My understanding is you lose it if you leave the country. However, I think you still get S.S. benefits. So, I have to wait a few years for it to change over. But, been thinking about leaving long before the election, and even before I was disabled. have investments too. But they do not yet draw enough dividends to live without my disability.

      SCHD (Schwab index fund) pays a lot in dividends and keeps increasing it...
      I'm looking at getting that plus the ~4% draw down from it and it's a game changer.
      There are a few great ones but I keep moving $ into SCHD because it's better.
      You could plan on 7% of the balance contributing to your retirement instead of just 3-4%. It really makes the total account balance needed much smaller.

      Look into the medical care situation for non citizens. It may be different from the citizens price but it may still be cheaper than the USA medical costs.
      It's important because Medicare and Medicaid don't pay if you aren't in the country.
