Agreed 👍🏾
I agree
ALSO James you need your own podcast station to give an EXPAT point of view of the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC! ASE!
He does have his own channel here @JayAbroad
@@NorberisR never new he had his own channel imma check it out
Yes, he started it about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
@@NorberisR WOW! THANK I'm a great follower of your podcast! Gracias a ti!
I still travel back n forth to America 🇺🇸 to make money but my quality of life in DR 🇩🇴 is 10x better than in the States.
What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking sir?
@@Koolej98 Real estate broker
I don’t think we are tired of working…. We are tired of working and getting nothing out of it. Not seeing the fruits of our labor. We work and work and can’t pay our bills and have a little extra to enjoy. In DR we can sit down outside and laugh and talk and have some beers if we like. No matter if you’re in Piantini or in the campo. You can enjoy life
Very true.
“She’s just a baby and she’s booming” 😂😂😂 Norberis you’re so cute!! 😂😂💕
😂😂😂
😅 that's honestly what I thought, crazy right🤣
@@NorberisR you are hilarious lmaooo love you & your content! 💕
My Dominican wife stuck with me through thick a thin too. Dominican women are the best! They work hard and they stick by their man. Mucho respeto a los dos 🌞
Most of them not all!
Thank you🤗
@@dennisbeacham5747 don’t know most and I definitely don’t know all. I only know mine.
@@brothertoughlove 🙏🏽
🤣🤣 it's ok to say something positive about your wife but...come one bro!!
A Dominicana told me a couple weeks ago "it sounds like a lot of contention in your country" I could agree more
Such a great topic. I’m Gen X too. A lot of millennials have moved back home because they can’t afford to live on their own. The cost of living here is crazy. I thank God that I work from home 3 days a week. I save money on gas and the stress of commuting. At some point I plan to look for a full time remote job so I can move home to RD 😂 Flex on James! 😊
Thank you. I know you are putting your plan together 🤗
It’s more and more clear everyday that I most take a leap of faith and move aboard if not now than when 🙏💯
If your finances are right I agree to take the leap.
Y'all are my #1 podcast couple on Social Media! Viva Norberis y Jay! ANKH-ASE!
Thank you🤗
Hace cuatro años, tomé la decisión de mudarme a República Dominicana en un plazo de diez años. Sin embargo, al compartir mi plan con mi familia, mi esposa se mostró reticente y nadie me tomó en serio. A lo largo de estos años, he adquirido cuatros propiedades, incluyendo un terreno en la montaña con vista a la ciudad de Santiago, a solo 20 minutos del aeropuerto del Cibao. En este momento, estoy en el proceso de diseñar la casa que construiré. A pesar de la posible reducción de salario, tengo la certeza de que me mudaré en 2030(si Dios quiere ). Afortunadamente, tanto mi esposa como yo tenemos la posibilidad de trabajar desde casa. Ahora, toda la familia está convencida de mi mudanza, y mi esposa se encuentra feliz con la situación.
Ese es muy buen plan y para que funcione tienes que asegurarte los medios de entreda de dinero estén en posición.
🙌🇩🇴Excelente idea porque nuestro real hogar 🏠 es nuestra tierra amada Republicana Dominicana, Quizqueya la bella cuna y primada de América 🇩🇴🙌
Dios, Patria y Libertad 🇩🇴🙌
Felicidades y muchas bendiciones. Hay más terreno en venta por hay? Me interesa al igual algo cerca de Santiago pero no en la ciudad. Gracias.
@@godfirst6629 si aparecen, se llama Ranchito Piche.
That is what I’m doing, I am moving with my wife to punta Cana, she is Dominican and is from San Pedro de Macorís
Awesome. I'm sure you are excited.
I been checking you guys out off and on for a while but recently my wife and daughter caught one of your videos and they binge watched you both for hours. Just want to say we love the way you both keep it real and open up a part of your lives to educate the public. You guys are a lovely couple and we wish you both the best. From Troy and Bianca in VA. ✌🏿
We really appreciate it. I'm glad the videos have been helpful you all.
Senor James you are a GREAT COMMENTATOR! ASE!
🤗
I'm planning on retiring in the Dominican Republic! And coming to explore the culture and to seek a Dominican wife in 24 months! Plus currently I'm teaching myself basic Spanish and how to cook Dominican meal! ASE!
That's great. I'm sure you are excited.
So glad you two are here. Your great husband has his own channel. I am looking to transition into remote work and become a passport bro. Im sick of NY and its time to move on.
I am gen x NYC born!
Thank you. We appreciate it.
You guys are great!
Thanks 😊
Hi guys,
Just wanted to say that MOST employers, like myself, don’t increase the amount of work to our employees because of greed but because of our INCREASED expenses via GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS and inflation. Businesses exist for a PROFIT which is our incentive for taking the RISKS that other don’t want to take. So, when people cry out to politicians for higher mandatory minimum wages and get it, they are in fact putting their jobs in jeopardy or at best increasing their job load. This is just simple economics. As for the few companies that over work their employees, those companies usually go out of business when the economy slows down and goes into a recession.
Nevertheless, great job on this channel. Great content!
Very well said. Thanks for sharing.
I am planning on retiring in the DR or Cali, Colombia! I love your content! Y'all podcast is highly informative! ASE!
Awesome! Thank you!
love how you 2 are so genuine in your life experience. Your hard struggle in life. You 2 are blessed. Many blessing to you two and your family.
Thank you so much!🙏🏾
My husband and I are Gen X, quality of life has been steadily declining. The cost of living and political climate are huge factors also. Time for us to go!
Yes, I understand 👍🏾
I’m 13 min in and it makes sense! FL is getting expensive because it’s so many people coming here like ATL. This mindset ain’t for everybody and I’m really looking into this myself!
Yes Florida is really expensive.
@@NorberisR Yes!!
😊 you know all this label of people is crazy. I'm a baby boomer proud of it too. The hustle going on in the US is crazy. Working hard doesn't do anything except put you in a different tax bracket. I'm not gonna keep working so uncle Sam keep taking my coins. Love the lifestyle I saw down in the Dominican.
Understandable 🙏🏾
This is why i want to move to DR. i want to establish my life as efficiently as possible and i want to move out there
very true cant take that money with ya...find myself in the hospital thought i was losing my vision things can happen so fast !! i travel alot but this experience made me wake up even more ...all about living
You're right things can take a turn very quickly.
Thanks for the transparency this is an eye opening video. Congrats to y'all. You've worked hard.
Our pleasure! Thank you.
I'm grateful and blessed. I'm born gen X, haha. I've worked hard in life my younger years, 16-hour shifts, and two jobs. Now, at 52, I work laid back 4 days a week 3 day weekends. Plus, I have a pension and investments coming in. I do well for myself. Married an incredible dominicana, we have a home in Santo Domingo and America. Life is really good for me as I feel I'm in my prime financially, being able to provide and protect for my family. Do things I couldn't do earlier in life. With a plan, hard work pays off, Be well. Keep up the excellent content.🇩🇴💪🏾
Thank you and congratulations. Very interesting 👌
I've Been Ready to get Away From Here!!!😊
😅 so when are you leaving?
Nice video and I’m a new subscriber and I love the videos, my wife is from Santo Domingo and I want to move there and the Dominican people love their country and all the people I’ve met are hard workers and nice people
You should move here if you like here and have your finances together.
@@NorberisR
That’s my plan in 5 years I retire
I love DR! I'm touring the entire island to find my home. I'm leaving the rat race in the US.
Good for you. There is place on the island for different types of lifestyle. I have a video titled "The Best To Live" here. I recommend watching it.
You guys are inspirational, I live in Dallas Tx and I plan on moving there in the future . I love the country and the people. Keep bringing good material!!!!
Thank you. We appreciate it.
🙏👋🏽 i missing D.R. Culture everyday in the states
We thought you lived here🤨
Great discussion! I would say that the challenge for everyone willing to move out to a better and more affordable location would be to find steady income.
Yes, I agree.
Selling my house + investments, I'd have close to $900K. I do not care for the American lifestyle. I have 8 years before retirement - social security + pension ~$3,600 month. Thank God I look like I am 40. No lie. But I love DR. I go every other month. What should I do?
Id buy two apartments for under $200k for both. one to live in and the other for income but I'd make sure the rental is in a tourist area or build a three or four family unit. Live in one and rent the other three out.
I would suggest doing a real estate investment here. I would start there.
@@NorberisR why not just live off the interest? Keep my principle. $2500 a month? And perhaps buy an apartment cash, so that the $2500 each month is free and clear, except for living expenses.
Don't buy a DR apartment. Too risky if theft. Just rent cheaply. Put your money in a high quality dividend stock. You don't need to own a home there because you have very high income. It's not worth the risk
@nesq4104 Risky how?
VIVA NOBERIS & VIVA JAMES! Thanks you for your highly informative and enlightening content! ASE!
Our pleasure!
Power Couple for sure 👍🏽
Norberis, when you said you would have just started making things up I got a good laugh. I love your honesty. Great video. You are both so awesome 🙂
Lol. I appreciate that🤗
I’ll take a moment and agree with yall that this online survey is pretty true, my reasoning for agreeing with it is because the quality of life for all your hard work, isn’t worth much. For example I don’t do much luxury anything, I work a job and by payday I get a depressing check because state and fed say they deserve a certain amount each check.
Now after doing some research and finding that self employment may have some benefits plus doing what I love and making my own hour, yeah I’ll take a hit, and things be not be sunshine and rainbows but it’s a bit better than what I have at the moment, so I’m working towards possibly doing that and making it last a bit more by moving to a less demanding location.
Appreciate yall work, yall are still a powerhouse in my book, keep up the great content
Actually, most Americans do not really take a hit in having a lower salary if they move overseas. Most people don't know that you more than likely qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion on income if you make $120k or less. You may also qualify for foreign housing exclusion or the foreign housing deduction. However, you must live outside of the US for a minimum of about 330 days of the year. This info can be found on the IRS website.
You're welcome. You're on the right path of thinking. Exactly what we realized 3 years ago. Take the pay cut and move.
I respect all of the hard work both of you have done. I plan on retiring in Santo Domingo. My hard work and my investment in Tesla stock will get me there!
Great Video as always.I stayed in Piantini on my last visit, it was very nice. Naco is next. Funny, I have lots of family in Deerfiled Beach /Pompano area.
Thank you 😊
Great to hear from you folks. Great job as usual. You are well intentioned and it means the world to me that you’re promoting DR. From my perspective though, if you don’t have a chunk of change to live on in DR it’s going to be rough. I feel you have to be transparent with the fact that jobs in DR are non existent for age group 40 and above particularly if you don’t have a degree.
So guys, please be sure to let it be known that if folks are going there they better go with their own income. I personally, am willing to fight for that injustice because the culture considers folks that are over 40 pretty much non existent when it comes to the workforce.
Thank you but I am transparent about jobs and salary here in Dominican Republic. Maybe you are new to my channel and may have only watched 1 video and made this assumption. My audience knows my position. I personally don't work a job here so I would not tell someone else to do it. I recommend familiarizing yourself with my content that way you understand my position instead of assuming.
Dear, I’m not making judgement. I simply asked you to not omit that information which may be relevant to your audience. Yes I am a new subscriber and I enjoyed your content. I appreciate your positive demeanor and plain depiction of the good in DR.
Great video
Thanks!
Yes, I would move and be ok with making 20% less
I think alot of people are...the only challenge is a reliable steady income abroad. Otherwise alot more people would do it.
Hell yeah especially in the medical profession
Yo Alabama Prices is getting real high
Thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate it.🤗
James, your story is inspiring.
Thank you, I'm sure he will read this.
Great 👍🏼 content as always
Glad you enjoyed it
I used to always stay in Piatini, but the traffic there is crazy. Trying to get in and out of that area is time-consuming.
I completely agree brother my Dominicana and my daughter are my soul reason.
If yah were to include how STUDENT LOANS, CREDIT CARD DEBT, and CAR PAYMENTS are killing so many people in the United States this video would have hit everything. That INTEREST is NO JOKE. Thank you both for these videos!
You're right. You're welcome.
I definitely know what that feels I am overworked and underpaid and not appreciated for all of my hard work
I really want to move out of the country but I can't afford to take a pay cut. I spend a lot of money when I'm there. I would never make it on less money there. I'm trying to figure out something where I don't have to take that cut. I love how you were able to do that.
I don't know how you are spending more money here than the states🤨.
There’s also a crossover or in between generation called Gen Xennial. We’re in between Gen x who were raised pre-Internet and millennials who were raised with the internet. That’s between 1975-1985 or since variation within that. Because we have the experience of being raised before the rise of the internet but also experienced the beginning of it as we were growing up.
Great topic of conversation ❤
Thank you🤗
I think the problem for most is finding ways to make money abroad. I now online being a digital nomad, it’s not cut and dry tho.
Yes, find online work is this the most important piece to the puzzle. Not impossible though
Oh, wow. A little insights into your lives!
🤗😊
The area in DR I want to live would be in Piantini and Naco. I was looking at some apartments last month and they want over 2k in Piantini.
That's crazy
Depends on the type of building and also if it's furnished or not.
I don’t think you guys are talking about lazy people. Your talking about hard working people who give work their all; but is taken advantage of by their employer. Given more and more with so little or no compensation. They give you $1.00 raise; then cut down on your overtime. What else to do, just plan and flee to a better standard of living. So I absolutely understand people taking a pay cut just for a better quality of life. Another good topic James y Norberis. 👍👍👍
Thank you🤗
Great video!
Thanks!
Enjoyed your this topic. This is valid for all generations . Can you talk about healthcare in DR? As a couple you are young and you have young kid how is healthcare
I've done a video on this before but maybe I'll put another one together.
George Carlin quote - It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to Believe it...That pretty much sums it up..
😅
I retire in 9 years at 50 and I would love to move to RD. The only thing that scares me is not getting hustled
I personally believe people over exaggerate this. Are there people and areas where this happen more often yes but it's not like everyday you walk out your house someone is hustling you. We live in Santo Domingo and my husband goes out all the time by himself and in 3 years he never said anyone hustled him.
@@NorberisR thank you for responding
You're welcome.
You can get hustled in the United States
she's just a baby and she's booming, lol!
😂😂😂
😅
Generation z....😂 that's them crazy kids of today
Every generation was crazy to than one before. Always remember that.
😅
Amazing video like always
Thanks again!
@@NorberisR you’re very welcome
Take a pay cut? Dude, a Respiratory Therapist in DR makes like $10,000/yr. I make $140k working for the Federal Government as Respiratory Therapist. I'm a GEN X, but I'll wait until I retire to move to DR.
Well you are fine where you are. I think it obvious no one would take a pay cut thus substantial. But I think most people understand what we are saying.
Hello just wanted to tell you I love both your channels and the videos that you create.
I think the biggest issue most people have is they don't have a source of income coming in to live off of while living abroad? I don't know if you've covered this already but can you explain ways to make money overseas?
I wanted to move to the Dominican Republic 5 years ago. I have a decent amount in savings, and no debt. I just haven't figured out a way to source recurring income.
We have made a video on this before. However, there are platforms like Upwork.com, Flexjobs.com, and Freelancer.com where you can find work online.
I love the DR go there frequently but I know a lot of Domenicans who would love to come to America for Opportunity. And then go back to the D R. Educated people can't find jobs outside the resorts.
I know this to be true in a lot of cases. But Santo Domingo has opportunities.
Millennials = we're jaded .. recessions, wars, pandemic, mass shootings, long work hours, homelessness, crime, bad social scene, unaffordable overpriced (housing, college, cars, stock market) = F that, life is too short, not worth the effort to only make corporations benefit
Very good video
Thanks🤗
My job makes me come in the office 1 day per week. Since I am in the office one day a week I cannot live abroad, and must live near work. My rent is $1900 smh... If I was fully remote I would be living like a king overseas with my rent payment alone
One that 1 day a week is keeping in the US. All our expenses is around $1,900 for 3 people.
Entiendo hermano. I can't wait to live with my Dominicana.
🤗🇩🇴
GenXer here making plans to move abroad to retire because I want to have a comfortable retirement and not worry about money.
Awesome 👌
I agree
It seems the only way to make money in Santo Domingo is to own rental properties.
That's one way.
Ima move to santo domingo with my gf next month
Congratulations 🎊
Don't get me started 🤨 Stress leads to hypertension, also known as a silent killer. My stress ? Being in NYC in the dead of winter, wearing boots and overcoats, running a rat race while my wife and daughter are in a mountain apartment in Torre Alto in 80° weather. 😭😫
PS: not mentioning which Gen I am. 🤐😊
You are correct. I can hear it in your words you are ready to leave the US for good😅
Bold move moving outside of the US and your comfort zone. It helps having a wife from the DR.
It does help but many people move here and don't have a partner.
In a way im glade i get ssdi especially being a family oriented man
My son is a millennia, college graduate, and is willing to do the bare minimum in order to maintain his work life balance. I told him it's good for now being that the only person he has to be responsible for is himself, but in the future if things change he'll need to focus on a higher standard of living. But that's mainly my thoughts because I came up in the era of a hard days work for a hard days pay, so my thinking may have went out with the caveman 😂😂😂
😅🤣 you may be right, young people today don't think this way
Sounds like you will not allow him to be a man and he's comfortable acting like a child
Thanks again for another helpful video. Another point is I can see from the ex-pat community in Puerto Plata that extranjeros want to come live in the Dominican Republic but on the other side is the Dominican diaspora that wants to live outside the Dominican Republic for better job opportunities. When they arrive in the United States sure they earn more money, but they have to work harder and perhaps more than 1 job in order to keep up with the increased cost of living. Gringos quieren salir Los Estados Unidos y Dominicanos quieren salir La Republica Dominicana...jajaja
This is true and both for different reasons as you stated.
You gotta explain to her the gens and the ages lol 😂
😁
I live in Pompano Beach now and I’m paying 2,100 in rent!!!!! SMH
We were paying almost the same thing when we lived in Pompano
Balance
I am really interested in this topic...I am a 56 year old Software Engineer and I am seriously considering leaving my country and coming to DR. I live in Barbados and like the USA, it seems things are becoming more expensive every day and I am not able to save a cent. I am near retirement and would just like to live the remainder of my life in peace and just enjoy. I am wondering though do you see any changes in the DR where it may eventually become like the USA seeing that that system in the states eventually infects other countries. Thank you for your video.
Find something even cheaper than DR. Maybe a African country.
That's a interesting topic to explore. And you are correct American does have a lot of influence in DR. I wouldn't credit the change to America alone I think the world itself has changed due to a global economy.
James are you a military veteran? I love the Red T-shirt " 1st Veteran, reminds me of the " Big Red One.😀 "
No he's not a veteran. The Veterans Clinic here gave him that tshirt. I don't know if you remember me doing a video on this clinic.
No i return so many times a year that i want to make it my home
I am going through that right now. I am currently working 2 positions at the company where I am employed and I am only getting paid for one position.
That's the new formula for companies.
Shout out to us Gen X's James 💪🏿😂
My lady lives in Santo Domingo Este in a one bedroom for $156 a month and we're looking for a larger place where my daughter can have her own bedroom.
There are many places to choose from. Depends on the area and your budget.
I was on the road 2 hours one way.
Wow!
Great info love seeing you guys also can you help me find apartment in Santo Domingo? If you can send me the info here ok and thanks
I offer this as a service. You can go to my website and purchase the service if you're interested norberisr.com
It's the generation you were born.
America dangles a carrot over your head to convince you to stay and continue to pay the high cost of living. Im in the Washington DC area and an average 1 bedroom is 1800/1900 easy! Im looking to buy a property in DR or Panama soon.
1800 per month can cover your entire lifestyle here in DR.
Id love that typa of flexibility you guys have if i ware to find employment id like it to be alike your situation
I appreciate my life with my Dominicana much more than living in America
Idk but every time I go to DR I waste so much money. I feel food prices at supermarkets and restaurants are almost the same as US prices. Do I still prefer DR yes! 😅 but I have a hard time wrapping my head around cheaper life
😅 restaurants and supermarket prices are slightly cheaper. We still see a savings by living here. Rent in Florida was $2200 now we pay $1300. We also save 100s in gas because there is no commuting as we work from home. Health insurance was around $700 monthly now we pay around $185 monthly. Car insurance was $350 monthly in Florida here we pay about $15 monthly. All this is savings. We look at more than just cost food and restaurants when we look at where we are saving.
Also ask your hubby when he explains Willy Nilly to you, to also explain Loosey Goosey.lol
😆 I'll ask him
REAL SPILL!🎯💯👊🏿👑✈️
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I WILL TAKE A PAY CUT
Lol. I don't blame you.
You have a good woman bruh.
🤗🇩🇴
