It’s not just hate; it’s people that have never gone out of their environment and have a scarcity mindset. They never went out of the barrio or the Bronx ghetto, never tried to improve themselves, never learned English, never listened to different perspectives, always waiting for handouts and pity. Then they see Dominicans that made it in their own country and they neither made it here nor there, so in their minds it must be that the person did something illegal to get that money, because since they couldn’t make it, no one else can.
I’m planning my exit from the US back home. I started buying property and doing all my necessary research. I’m planning on going back next year to renew my cedula and open banks accounts. Great video btw.
@Wi77iam Great decision I do Heating and Air Conditioning I live here in Charlotte NC may be I can be your repair technician I m planning move there next year my self!
@@JayAbroadThanks for your content, my desire has always been to connect with people like you; been the missing link for my move back as a Dominican-American who identifies with black/African American culture
@jgivesback both you guys did a amazing interview and I'm from the DMV and everything you said was spot on 💯. Jay as always keep up the great work brotha and hope to see you soon in the DR...🍻
Jamie, I was in Punta Cana last week but I think you are in the States right now. I’m sure I’ll run into you one of these days. Wife’s Dominican and we moved here a month😊 ago.
@@thejamiegruber You 3 guys will bring prices up in DR by revealing the lifestyle to the world. I get FOMO watching your videos. i guess i have to hustle harder here in the states for my futue in DR 🤒🤒
While listening to Jonah's story of growing up here in the U.S , i swear...a lot of it is very similar to my upbringings. I was born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y ,but every summer growing up, my parents would take us to Santiago Dominican Republic and going to the campo to see our grandparents (Sajoma)...Made me as a kid, appreciate all the things we had growing up in NYC. We grew up knowing that at noon when mom had cooked a large pot of what ever she had cooked, we had to take a plate to our neighbors house, not just one neighbor, but 6 different neighbors house...our neighbors were our family. When we had blackouts, all the kids in my block would come to my house or we would go to a neighbors house, and there would be 12 to 16 kids...."haciendo cuentos" talking about what was going on, even homework and the older kids in the hood would help us with the homework....We relied on each other. Those little things taught me alot , it taught me alot about values , respect and the true meaning of family....and it wasnt necessarily your blood familiy. I love the fact that we have some of it still alive in our culture! Also its true about Punta Cana, i just bought an apt in Bavaro and dont get me wrong...i love it, but the culture is not there. That Dominican charm is not in Punta Cana, its just a very relax and laid back lifestyle in Punta Cana. But i have to admit, everytime i get on the flight back to my life here in south Florida.....My heart is torn into pieces! Even if i know im going back next month...My soul aways stays behind in D.R.
This video was EVERYTHING!!! As a native NYer, w/ Dominican parents, I resonate with Jonah’s experience so much. Except that I had the privilege to grow up and experience hella Dominican’s and our culture in NYC. I just moved to the island last week and I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to meet & kick it with y’all!
Love, love, love this episode!!! This is so me, born in NY, raised in DR!! Even though I have that blue passport, I WILL ALWAYS BE DOMINICANA!! I can't wait to move back to my roots, yes, my roots, because although I was born in NY, my parents returned to DR and we returned to the States when I was 5 years old, love me some DR, that's my heart, my island, my soul will lie in rest in DR (on God!!) I really love your wife and your content, thank you for sharing!!
I’ve been living abroad between Cayman Islands and Poland for about 20 yrs and never thought of coming back and settle after watching this video. Despite all the issues, I can’t think of a happier place than my country.
Great interview. Ain't nothing like good home culture from where it all begins. Love Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 can't wait to go back in Santo Domingo in December.
Listening to you guys talk go straight to my heart in the best way possible. I am born and raised in DR, l am currently living in the USA for over 30 years. I can’t move back because I have kids attending high school and college now, but I am looking forward to moving back home. I do visit DR at least once a year. Lots of great things in the US, but this work routine can be exhausting at times.
I love this interview. There is nothing I can add or subtract. Everything that was discussed about the DR and the US is spot on. I totally , totally, totally agree that if anyone can not accumulate to and embrace the Dominican culture should not even attempt to move the the DR. An interview worth waiting for 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Good, evening, I would like first to thank you and your family, for all the wonderful information, about the Dominican Republic, and your guest today, he is awesome and on point, and is speaking from the heart, and look to meet you and your family, and your guest, today he speaks the truth.
I really enjoyed his convo. U didn't really have to interview him because He was engaging and an open book explaining many things and answering questions before u asked. Thanks!!
I really love watching you and your wife's videos! I'm from America and just married a Dominican woman from Santo Domingo. I love all the advice and knowledge I have gained from you as us being fellow Americans, I can really relate to what you are saying. Respect!!
I love what you and your wife are doing by giving us good information. I'm dominicano born and raised in the Washington D.C area in the states. Again I appreciate the information you and your wife put out about real estate and life back in the Republic. Thanks bruh
I'm in the process of selling my home in canada to move to DR, I love it..I think about the north coast everyday I watch videos non stop and can't wait to be sitting infront of a colmado with an icy presidente airing out my stomach while bachata is blaring so loud it's completely distorted. Aww I LOVE IT
I’m from New York City born and raised in the South Bronx and I’m sooo grateful I still have family in the Dominican Republic I too am making my way down here! I’m done with the city I’m ready to move to the country side. ❤
Jay I love your content, you and your wife are doing a great job for us Dominican trying to return, i have been living in the US for about 33 years and I cant wait to move back, I have been planning for a few years, I have my own houses there, planing to open a couples businesses over. I know at the beginning it may be hard, but praying God to move next year. ❤❤❤ thank you, thank you. God bless you and you beautiful family.
Yessiiirr thanks bro. My wife and I really appreciate your support. And congratulations on your upcoming move back. I'm sure you will see it all the way through💪🏾💪🏾
Great day bro! New guy here I’m looking to come visit to start my journey. I’m a 46 yr old Navy vet kids are grown it’s just me. 100% and I’m looking to live off of that.
You, Jonas, Norberis and Jamie are my favorite influencers. I follow you all. Love your content. As a NYC born Dominican some of my best memories were when I moved to DR for a year. Dominican Republic is where I hope to one day retire to. right now I’m strategizing how I can find responsible tenants to move into my home in the states, and remodeling a home my parents left us and buying an airBNB property in Las Terrenas or Puerto Plata and rent in Piantini or in Santiago… you definitely need a financial plan. And an ABA therapy program for my autistic child. And Jonas is correct…. Low income Dominicans live in NYC and find DR expensive to live. I always remember my father’s advice to invest in what no one else is investing in. Punta Cana may be a great place to visit but not to live.
Thank you for support all of our platforms. We appreciate it. Thanks for sharing this. You definitely have plan with is good. I'm sure it will all come together.
Great video, I loved the promo leading up to the release of this video...very strategic and it worked. I have learnt so much over the months following so many content creators here and I owe my smooth transition to you all. Unlike many, I use TH-cam as a tool to close sales for our business and just posting shorts over the last few weeks have been extremely valuable to me. I don't believe in scattering roses when people are gone, so for every experience, I can attribute the ease to being forwarned in many videos. Living my best live, pulling things together and slowly, slowly, we are winning...good job guys 😊
@@JayAbroad I really am, it's really been a working trip, first thing was trying to get a bank account open with a Jamaican back with branches here in Santo Domingo and after 10 days I am still awaiting the final update. If @JamieGruber and yourself didn't speak about it, I would be getting anncy by now.
The good thing about the DR is that it is 1 hour and 45 minutes from the US, so you can come to the US for the weekend, a short and quick trip. I have even met people who traveled to the US every week to work. US to DR
The problem with life in the US is not that you are bad, it is the system, the tax pressure, a lot of pressure to be able to pay your expenses, a super stressful life, working a lot to make ends meet, in DR life is more relaxed without many problems, a country that has everything you need in terms of technology, you find everything you have here in the US, even better in some cases. Life is more economical, with little money you can rent a comfortable, spacious apartment that here in the US would be impossible to pay for if you are middle class. More than 300 thousand Americans live in the DR according to the US embassy.
Agreed with all he said... except a lot of us dominicans abroad have small businesses we're working to grow to bring back home. We're not on public assistance. Good convo though❤❤Jay
I like his point of view . Ppl have to understand when moving to another country you have to decide how you want to live in that country . He wanted more upscale living , similar to usa so he chose piantini & naco. You need time there to figure out how you want to live there
What’s up brother born in NY parents are from DR would love to move out there that’s the game plan. You should make a video on kids schooling how we should go about that
We have our Achievement Week in Puerta Plata Nov. 17th and MLK weekend we have our Talent in Santo Domingo and a major community service project in Sabana De La Mar that Sunday.....
I got out of NYC a yr after 9/11 to Dallas, TX, suburbs. I like my ppl but can't live around them 24/7 in NYC. I raised my kids in Texas, and they identify as Dominicans, but honestly, all they know is the food and they know what merengue is.
Dominicans in NYC is different than Dominicans in the DR. I grew up in Santiago and came to the US as an adult; I stayed 6 months in the Bronx and had to get out.
Shout out from the DMV. I'm planning on moving to the DR in 2 years. I'm always looking for opportunities and local partners to identify areas of needs in the DR. Also, we're all immigrants. We should lose the "Expat" title.
The best line was, “people in America work 2 to three jobs to come to The DR to vacation for a week” I’m moving there as soon as I sell my house here in America I will be living in Puerto Plata, building some Condos and single family houses with a old friend and business partner
Hey Jay. Very interesting topic and title. The American Dream has had many iterations in USA history. Now it may be best achieved in a global context. Perhaps you may poll your viewers: When did the American Dream die? 1) On 9/11 2) GFC Great Financial Crisis 2008-2010 3) COVID-19 Pandemic 2020-2022
@@victorsmith7567 With all due respect, the American Dream is not dead for all Americans. Don't forget that, at the moment, America is the richest country in the world. In fact, America is the richest country that has ever existed in human history. Many Americans (of all races and ethnicities) thrive here and live very satisfying lives. As a consequence, for Americans who have sufficient financial resources, not only is the American dream alive and well, living in America is the next best thing to living in Paradise. If you think I'm making this up, go to any upscale, peaceful, seaside community in southern California (where I live). Sun, sand, surf, year-round beautiful weather, money in your pocket, money in the bank, no job, no side hustle (I'm retired) and not a worry in the world. Trust me, if you're one of the lucky ones, the American Dream is alive and well. 😎🌞

The problem with life in the US is not that you are bad, it is the system, the tax pressure, a lot of pressure to be able to pay your expenses, a super stressful life, working a lot to make ends meet, in DR life is more relaxed without many problems, a country that has everything you need in terms of technology, you find everything you have here in the US, even better in some cases. Life is more economical, with little money you can rent a comfortable, spacious apartment that here in the US would be impossible to pay for if you are middle class. More than 300 thousand Americans live in the DR according to the US embassy.

I got out of NYC a yr after 9/11 to Dallas, TX, suburbs. I like my ppl but can't live around them 24/7 in NYC. I raised my kids in Texas, and they identify as Dominicans, but honestly, all they know is the food and they know what merengue is.
Lol...the food and merengue is a start for them. Thanks for sharing.
Dominicans in NYC is different than Dominicans in the DR. I grew up in Santiago and came to the US as an adult; I stayed 6 months in the Bronx and had to get out.
@lrbolotin1227 completely different
Shout out from the DMV. I'm planning on moving to the DR in 2 years. I'm always looking for opportunities and local partners to identify areas of needs in the DR. Also, we're all immigrants. We should lose the "Expat" title.
This is a very good interview. I’m sending it to my Dominican wife and her cousin who lives in Florida
The best line was, “people in America work 2 to three jobs to come to The DR to vacation for a week”
I’m moving there as soon as I sell my house here in America
I will be living in Puerto Plata, building some Condos and single family houses with a old friend and business partner
Awesome, congratulations bro.

Hey Jay. Very interesting topic and title. The American Dream has had many iterations in USA history. Now it may be best achieved in a global context.
Perhaps you may poll your viewers:
When did the American Dream die?
1) On 9/11
2) GFC Great Financial Crisis 2008-2010
3) COVID-19 Pandemic 2020-2022
@@victorsmith7567 With all due respect, the American Dream is not dead for all Americans. Don't forget that, at the moment, America is the richest country in the world. In fact, America is the richest country that has ever existed in human history. Many Americans (of all races and ethnicities) thrive here and live very satisfying lives. As a consequence, for Americans who have sufficient financial resources, not only is the American dream alive and well, living in America is the next best thing to living in Paradise. If you think I'm making this up, go to any upscale, peaceful, seaside community in southern California (where I live). Sun, sand, surf, year-round beautiful weather, money in your pocket, money in the bank, no job, no side hustle (I'm retired) and not a worry in the world. Trust me, if you're one of the lucky ones, the American Dream is alive and well. 😎🌞
This is a good topic to discuss. Maybe my wife and I will discuss it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Coming to Santo Domingo in a couple weeks. Would like to have a cigar with you if you have time… not sure how to get in touch with you
