Hi my name is Kathy, I am retired. My husband and I are tired of the changes this government is doing that affect our lives. I have been a patriot of my country all my life and its breaking my heart to see our freedoms going away.

Exactly what freedoms have you lost and how has it affected your life?

Another one hit wonder, just dump your negativity and run, find what you think is a better place.聽 Of course you have the right to stay and complain, but if you go no one will miss your attitude.聽 Amazing how cranky people get when they get older.

We too were tired of it.聽 Not so much what the government was doing to our lives, but what our hustle and bustle life style was doing to our lives.聽 It was enough of the rat race and for my wife corporate America.

So we retired to the Dominican Republic 8 years ago and have not looked back for a second.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your retirement in the DR.聽 Please keep in mind that it is possible to retire in the USA and refuse to participate in said rat race.

I've always heard that living in other countries is much cheaper than living in the United States.聽 Then I moved to Hong Kong.

I think it depends on how you set up your life. Compared to my life in the US, living in Norway is actually cheap for me. People who want the American dream with lots of huge cars and a mcmansion wouldn't find it to be so, however.

I lived like a queen in the US compared to how I live here.聽 It's the rent in Hong Kong that's killing me.聽 It's like living on the Upper East Side of New York without any decent bagels.

You always have a way of confusing me. But I don't see how bagels would bother you. You like "cake." Or was it "muffins." Can't keep track.

Just to clarify, when I said MIA I meant missing in action.聽 Just found out last night on my most trusted news source, The Colbert Report, that MIA is also a female rapper from Sri Lanka.聽 Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Five weeks and not a peep out of Mr & Mrs Negativity

By coming to Brazil, I have learned that Ann Landers really was RIGHT....

I really think people who whine about the mean old US or Canadian government should be sentenced to spend six months in Brazil, they'd never let out a peep again once they got back.

This is a statement I agree with more than you could possibly EVER know. There was a push a long time ago to make it mandatory for US High School students to leave the country on an exchange visit for at least a week in order to graduate. It did not pass obviously and it was very far fetched. However, I truly believe every American citizen should be required to visit another country, any country outside the US/Canada - and realize just how good they have it.

It seems the only people that truly appreciate the United States/Canada are immigrants themselves who already know what their merry little life was like outside the US.

And it is the same in the US - during job interviews an employer can not ask your age, marital status and a slew of other questions. And it is the case in most circumstances with the exception of government applications.

There is a programme especially for retirees called the Malaysia My Second Home programme which only requires you to prove monthly income/pension of USD $2400 and liquid assets of at least USD $84,000 and you are then awarded with a 10 year renewable visa.

Government portal for this programme is pretty bad ****

Hope that helps!

Requirements are a lot easier in the Philippines and Ecuador.聽 Many who move there have less than $2,400/ month income, less than $84,000 in liquid assets.

Yes, however living quality,聽 infrastructure, safety is significantly better in Malaysia. Esp medical care. I agree tho cost of living in Philippines is much lower, naturally.
