Call me old fashioned, but I was born in the USA and (if I have any control over it) I will die in the USA. In my mind, “escaping” to Latin America is akin to abandoning my principles and my country. If necessary, I’ll duke it out here with the powers that be to the bitter end.
I’m with you! No intention of abandoning America. Although having some retirement down there would be OK, but if shites hit the fan here it may be zero retirement income and the Latins ain’t going to let you stay down there in a life of luxury for free. Many here who would have to go back to living off the land like in 1775. In that case it would be a tossup what killed you first the commie/socialists or the hard life.
