Preconceived notions like CFB’s will only make it cheaper for us retire. I think panama is a better option right now.

Haha. Nothing preconceived about unpotable food and water, the value of the Peso, and a socialist government run by drug cartels. Zero hyperbole in any of those points. But, enjoy. You personally might not like it though. Same sex marriage is not a national law/right, their cops shoot many more people than USA "pigs", and religion is a huge part of their culture. Also most of the country is rural- or Necks- as you call them. Sounds perfect for you.

Panama also has some of the more lax gun laws in South/central America.

It is the third world.

After a couple of weeks of research Bay, Uruguay is now the leader in the clubhouse for the ex-pat early retirement locale. Montevideo is a great city.

Let’s hope that the country remains a secret to the rest of the country. They live very well down there. We need to learn Spanish though.

Also spent a day in Panama City. Was a bit rough in places. Reminded me a little of Houston.

I can pick up Spanish quickly. Two years in high school and I use a little with the cleaning lady.

I will check our Uruguay.

I wish bitcoin was a lot more stable. Would make tax evasion a lot easier [emoji23]

You really should check it out. They don't charge tourists a hefty sales tax that the locals pay. Paying with a foreign credit or debit card gives you by law an 18% discount off of prices that are generally much lower that what you would pay in SF or NY (probably around a Richmond, Va cost of living, maybe cheaper). Great place to vacation if you have time to get down there. Just got back and weather was like Cali - much more temperate than I expected given its location. No snow in winter- wasn't humid in late spring.

Jose Ignacio and punte del este are boom towns. I expect Punte del este looks like Miami did 70 years ago (in terms of economic opportunity). Lots of speculation though, and I am curious to see how their economy will fare with Argentina's next collapse. They've ridden those storms before.

Cap'n will check it for us, but I understand that most on here would characterize their politics as center left, if not democratic socialist, but they are the second richest par capita GDP country next to the U.S.
in the Americas. A more right-leaning candidate just won a run off there, though it's probably a Warren beating a Saunders sort of thing. Their lower classes live better than there counterparts here, and I expect their crime is lower than most places here. Very safe place.

They don't speak English, and their Spanish is weird. ("Ca-shay" instead of calle for street)

9/10 nazis on the run agree!

Uruguay might be the best country to live in South of the border. As you mention, it's small and subject to be highly influenced by its neighbors, though.

I was not aware of that. Does not surprise me.

Like Germany and everyone else, Uruguay has its noble aspects to its past and the not so noble. They will tell you that there was only a small nomadic native population there when the Europeans arrived.

Ip, this is a decent video. You are going to need to learn to tango if you move there.
