Anecdote makes poor evidence, but let’s roll.

Ok, we pick a South American country that’s dirt cheap and scrounge the cash to get there. And let’s say to hell with visas and assorted fees as a factor because a guy on the Internet told me that he did it almost a decade ago and it was totally cheap bro.

What language do they speak there? I’m not so arrogant as to assume Spanish, so I’m gonna need to learn that. I’ll have to rehome my cats cause I’ll bet getting them there with us isn’t likely. Quit my job, though that was always going to happen. Find a new job and hope that refugees can get and engineering job over a citizen because I’ve got fuck all in other skills and while not the fattest American around, my cardio game is weak and manual labor would be a transition. How’s the healthcare? Probably better than the US to be fair, but do they have my spouse’s medications, one of which will cause seizures if discontinued suddenly.

All that in addition to whatever it costs now. Please continue to tell me how easy it is.
