    Another consideration might be which is more likely to grant citizenship. What I have heard is that Argentina will eventually grant citizenship to long-term residents but Uruguay will not, even if someone follows all of their rules for eligibility.

    Being next to Russia is not a con. Most countries lie to their citizens about Russia because Russia is their competition. I’m in America and here Russia is used as the boogeyman. I like to play a game, name something Russia has done that the U.S. Government hasn’t also done. When you look at it like that it all seems rather propagandish 😂

    I don’t understand why these comparisons rarely talk about one of the most consequential factors: political stability. Argentina is a mess. Who in their right mind would ignore something with such a major impact on stability and peace of mind? It’s not simply about money.

    Perhaps I missed it but did you compare the interest differences between living in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Buenos Aires has so much more to offer architecturally and culturally than Montevideo. In fact some travel experts consider Montevideo to be somewhat boring in comparison.

El Salvador with the United States. One has a population of 6 million while the other 336 million people. Of course you are going to have more homicides in a nation that has 300 MILLION more people than the other !! And that is just the beginning ! No wonder you have less than 6 thousand subscribers !!!

    Latin America? Where is it? Do people speak Latin in this place or have anything to do with the ancient Romans who never set foot on the American continent? AMERICA is the official name of this entire continent since 1507, composed of 35 countires, officially discovered and named America in the South region by the Catholics and you people are not going to separate and segregate other countries and people from AMERICA who are not English speaking and Protestant with stupid terminologies. Stop that, please. Here we have history and we and our history say who we are and where we are, not you or whoever.

    Some are good places to live, but most are only good to visit. Depends greatly on what type of lifestyle you are looking forward for and also on what values you like or dislike. For example, Chile is said to be very developed, but it has been flooded for many years now by funds from progressive ngo's and heavily influenced by it, so you'll see this country continue to fall and deteriorate quickly. You can feel how corrupted society is morally and politically speaking. Kind of like San Francisco a decade or two ago. People still enjoy the fruits of abundance created by their capitalist ancestors but are quickly finishing everything without knowing how to manage it.

    I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

    Only people mostly who are attracted to these Latin American countries are likely - mostly Hispanic -- who speak fluent Spanish and are comfortable with those who speak the same language. Americans with English speaking skills only = '''a fish out of water''' - if they are old and ready to retire ! --?-- Old people ready to relax want "comfortable" - not 'frustration' - from not talking or not able to read menus or signs or business's ??? 🤔 Few in Central & S America speak English like many other parts of the world ? -- Even in Malaysia - it's taught in schools - and in the Philippines schools have signs everywhere > 'SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY' ! --- Surely this explains 'why' the immigration numbers aren't higher to some of these countries ? --- Apparently the visa friendly countries who make retirement more affordable also have 'some' advantage. 🤔

    Costa Rica half the cost of the U.S. , that’s flat out inaccurate! We’ve been traveling the world for several months, just arrived in San Jose a week ago.
