RE: Why I Left Canada and Became A Citizen of the Dominican Republic

in #money8 years ago (edited)

Leaving is an option. Panama has cheap and easy residency, awesome economy, lots of freedom. Sell your overvalued house and get out :)

Sort:  

I agree that leaving is an option, but I surely would not choose Panama to go to.... search on Youtube for videos on Panama City and Colon... see for yourself... also the weather is really shitty... almost always rainy... thats how the Canal gets its water... there are better and much cheaper options in Latinamerica...

No expats live in Colon lol. Check out Coronado, where it almost never rains at the beach, or Boquete in the mountains with springlike temps all year

The azuero peninsula of panama is home to one of the few tropical dry forests, getting less than 39 inches per yr of rain.

So 1 meter of rain you call dry?! Poor children who would drown there! ;)

I agree there's always options, but with a family and perhaps a spouse who's not on the same page regarding such things - leaving would likely involve breaking up a marriage and leaving behind my children and its just not worth it any longer. I'm resolved to toughing it out I suppose.
