My mother-in-law retired and move to Australia

My mother-in-law retired and move to Australia and now has free health care as well as her money going further.

We are thinking on moving down under as well.

That's my parents

The couple in front at the polling table is my parents. This is too cool. I knew they are very active in their party's activities in Mexico but I just found out about the photo.

A Sensible Book with pros & cons about leaving your homeland

Bye Bye Big Brother, 2008, published by Vera Verba, see their website.

it is a Sensible Book by a group of entrepreneurs, lawyers & others with pros & cons about leaving your homeland...and how best to do it.Topics considered pro& con include earning a living abroad, raising kids, finding a suitavle wife or girlfriend, 2nd passports, renunciation of citizenship, taxation, divorce, litigation, investments, sex, racism, and local corruption {how to deal with it}.

If you don't want to buy the book you can get most of the best ideas from it free at veraverba.com by going to "grandpas blog"...

I found "hope" in the book after a costly divorce and did try out several countries before finding a new and more suitable partner, settling down & finding lucrative work in the no tax country of Monaco.

BRAZIL BOUND

Hey Brazil bound, who are you to talk about grammar skills? You started your paragraph with a fragment! Who are you to preach about initiative and success? Who are you to judge opinions? You know nothing of people except for what they write. You know not where they have been, what they have done, and why some of us the way we feel. Does it really make a difference if some of us make a typo? We could have been delusional at the time. Some of us may have been extremely successful, and have just given up. Before you can judge others, take a look at yourself. God made each and every one of us, and He the only one who is eligible to judge.

There are those who do, and those who don't. I'm an atypical American. I speak 5 languages, and I have lived in 4 different countries over the past 20 years, and I am planning on expatriating yet again.

Many people are quite satisfied living in the US of A, and wouldn't consider leaving, and so many have never crossed the border in their lifetimes. Ignorance is bliss.

Those who have lived abroad I think have a much stronger appreciation for what America is, and isn't. Yes, I prefer the relaxed lifestyle of Latin America, and the ability to enjoy the plentitude of cultures and languages in Europe. I don't mind paying higher taxes in exchange for health care and social services provided by the state.

I do plan on leaving should the elections favor McCain. The thought of a continuation of the Bush administration frightens me, and sickens me to see my hard earned wages disappear in the economic cesspool that Bush has created.

I can survive anywhere, therefore I will - and I will continue to pity those who don't.
