Before Covid hit, it was my plan to find the best country to retire cheap in. Do you know people who are envious of your plans to retire cheap? Or just don't believe it can happen?
On one hand, they say things like “Wouldn’t it be great if I could retire?” And on the other hand they say “$500, pshaw who wants that….that’s like coffee for a month or two.” (I’m not even kidding, these people spend $300 a month at Starbucks….and don’t see why they can’t save enough to retire).
These people are idiots. They are complete wastes of brain cells: wandering around disguised as humans with brains.
Seems harsh? Yeah. I thought so too, until I ran into some real waste of skin, while I did a hiatus in North Carolina.
To be clear, there is NOTHING WRONG with a traditional North American retirement. (Also to be clear, I met some awesome people in North Carolina ….Go Tarheels!)
And one of my BEST friends in the world is from Raleigh (Home of the best biscuits.)
There is nothing wrong with TRADITIONAL retirement.
Seriously, do it, retire normally…….it won’t bug me.
But, you ARE NOT allowed to whine and complain all the time about how impossible it is.
Here’s the thing. A traditional retirement is pretty easy.
Save the money. Retire.
Now some of you, my dear readers, might say….”It’s not that easy.””
Obviously.
It’s like losing weight is easy.
“Don’t eat too much, and exercise

They have no idea about safety or watching themselves. Usually, they expect big brother to be protecting them somehow.
Do they say things like “OH IT’S SUPER DANGEROUS XYZ COUNTRY?” Yeah, every country is dangerous…and obviously some more than most (I’m looking at you Colombia). But if you practice common sense you will be fine.
