(3,919 posts)Im on Social Security and Im moving to Colombia next month. First off, I dont believe Trump is going to invade Colombia. He doesnt like Petro but Petros term is up and hes gone in a few months.
I went to Colombia in November and stayed 2 months. I sold my car. Gave notice on my lease. Put anything I wanted to keep in storage and bought a plane ticket. I traveled the country and decided Im moving to Armenia, Colombia. It cost about $600 to get a round trip ticket and an Airbnb there is about $300-500 a month. They have public transportation and Uber is cheap there. Food is also cheap. You can get a pensioners visa if you make about $1000 a month in Social Security which allows you to stay up to 3 years and is renewable
Yes, moving to Europe is expensive. But it isnt necessarily expensive to move to another country. Colombia isnt the only country that is cheap to move to. Ecuador, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam. All are cheaper than the US.
You might have to burn some bridges (I didnt pay my last months rent, electricity and quit paying my credit cards) to afford it but you can afford it.
