I started to follow after you guys showed up on my feed. I moved from New York to DR, and I have the privilege to work from DR. I still get to make US dollars abroad. After I moved, I notice a lot of young people who went to school/college are working from DR, and that makes me happy. I wish everyone that have the option, would do it. I am living my live as a regular human being. I am enjoying my kids, wife and family. Keep the good work guys coming. Thank you for the videos.
Hello! I’m planing to move from NY to DR within the next year and I would love to be able to work from DR, but I don’t know where to start. Perhaps you can provide some advice. Thank you!!
I'm sorry, I have another comment after listening more; Thanks for addressing the haters / unbelievers, but don't let that discourage you from producing positive informational content that we need. I gain a lot of research knowledge from you all and while I need to hear the full scope of things I like to focus on positive forward living. Keep talking about the good. Thanks again.
It is sad how people will always spend their best days of their life grinding and just enjoy when they are old... Thrust me, you enjoy way more when you are young and still healthy. That retirement thing is a scam
Do not waste your time on haters!!!! You are producing content that is useful to people. At a minimum you provide perspective, hope, dreams! You would not believe how depressed folks are here in the States. We see our buying power decrease and savings being none existent. I mean, if we were to place our SS contributions in a bank, compound interest would exceed the cost of living. People that don’t understand how taxation work, are just wasting your time with those comments. Folks, P L E E A A S S E E!!! Don’t waste your time and energy on haters. You’re doing great!
I think it’s kinda crazy how someone wouldn’t try think on getting the most out of their money. Why would you think it’s a bad idea to go abroad when your dollar is multiplied while you’re living someone and we have inflation going on 🤣
You two provide great inspiration for others. Why? You are living a great quality of life abroad while you are young. America is a very stressful place to live
Ive already started the process of retiring in the DR. The contract for a 3 story, 3 bedroom condo, with oceanview for $180k is signed. This, knowing i wont fully relocate for another 3 years. Ive been planning/investing in my future for some time now. You only get one life. Make it work for you and how you want your last chapter to be.
It’s good to see you guys again. I find that a lot of goods are more expensive than in the US. Out There’s more places in the US where you can get better deals. Housing for the square footage it’s still pretty expensive. I’ll be over there next month and I’ll be looking for a place to purchase for my wife and family. She still hasn’t received her documents so I’ll have to relocate over there I love the Dominican republic there’s something about it that just makes it feel alive in the Santo Domingo area The people are just so great keep giving us pointers. thanks
There are really three main perspectives. Each with a valid point of view. Beer Index | Beauty Index | City vs. Countryside (el campo) vs. Tourist Zone (la playa) 1) PPB Expat buying regular goods/services (aka ‘The Beer Index’). Your USD or EUR goes real far. Cheers! 🍻 2) The DR City vs. Countryside vs. Tourist Zone price differential. Most travelers (extranjeros) can relate to this. Prices change just like the Hood vs. high-end fancy part of town. 3) “Beauty Index” for the ladies. Most hair salon and spa services cost much less in DR. Yet they get you with the foreign beauty and skincare brands. Those products keep pace with the USD/DOP exchange rate. Not much savings if any. 😢 💸💸💸
This is your friend from Los Angeles and I appreciate your husband and you for sharing your experiences about your business and it inspired me in my own business thank you for sharing and keep up the great work and don’t worry about the haters ❤
I follow a guy from the States who lives in and works in santo domingo. He teaches English. He doesn't make a lot of videos, but he is an OG for content creators in the Dominican Republic.
Brother man is 💯% correct!! On Everything!! Both of them. Nobody should tell anybody how to spend their money or where to spend their money. We're coming!!!
Whoever had that opinion is just jealous that someone would be smart enough to go to the country where the US dollar would have the most value. I have 4 nationalities(I’m American born) and I won’t think twice about spending my dollars wherever will give me the most comfort. Dominican Republic is one of my nationalies 😊
Jay nice to see your wife here with you! I shared with you that I was currently living in Mexico City, Mexico. After watching you guys and doing a more in-depth research I am first coming to visit; then I plan to return to stay. I don’t clearly understand the Temporary Residency process for the DR. My dollars will go further there … Retirement Income $4500 USD monthly. Ms. Selma, Alabama.
Thank you for supporting both channels. From what we've heard the residency process in Mexico is much easier to obtain. Here the process can take longer but is doable. You get residency through investing, marriage, working, and retiring. You can live really good here on $4500 monthly.
Bro your Barber is doing work !!!! We need to get up the next time Im in the capital with my daughter…. I sent this same message A while ago but I got busy Nd forgot to reach out to you all….. I had all three of my kids in the capital for two weeks. We just got back to the states last weekend.
Great topic. People I know who live abroad often keep their money stateside. There is no question that living abroad has its advantages with the quality of life. I think a peace of mind has an equal or greater value. The concern often is with the political structure abroad. I say enjoy your best life and have no regrets. Life is too short to be living in a rear view mirror. Good job guys and keep living your best lives.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on people interested in coming in the middle of the careers that are in highly skilled jobs that are licensed like accountants, nurses, financial advisors, doctors, lawyers, engineers. The cost of living in the US and the cost of education to obtain has really impacted these positions which could once get you to financial freedom. Now it’s still a challenge as the cost of the education alone can put you in a huge hole starting out. Are highly skilled jobs in demand and is it possible to make a higher percentage of income after expenses? Because the squeeze in America gets bigger and bigger with home costs skyrocketing. Even rich people are struggling with property prices and mortgage rates. A home in LA going for $1-2M is a PAYMENT! For almost every income category, even with $300,000 cash down .
1. the dollar should be used to start business or investing in something to make money not just consuming cheaper goods. 2 you qualify for social security benefits since you worked for 10 years in the us and you married to an american which give you spouse benefits. Now do some research because i got that from an article i read about social security benefits for expats.
Thanks for #2, but #1 again that's telling people what they should do with their money. Some people don't want to invest and that's their choice. They're just looking for a cheaper cost of living.
Very good episode. That's part of the reason to travel and move abroad because the dollar goes further in dominican republic or Colombia. That's my plan. Let's go America 🇺🇸. 👍🏾
On brightside, the Dominican Republic has a strong business partnership with the USA government and its business sector. Dominicans are more likely to buy an american products and services before buying non-american. Over 65% of foreign investment in the Dominican Republic comes from the USA. in year 2025 Dominicans will not pay any tariffs on American-made cars and other products. Starting 2025, you will start seeing more american cars being sold in DR.
Great job 👏🏾 guys and really informative material. We all have different opinions on money matters. But you are correct , no one can tell you how to spend your money. Love ❤️ you guys and continue to do what you do!!!
I do not think that it is wrong that I decide to spend my VA military retirement in any country in the world. I would like to live in the Dominican Republic. As a military veteran I like the Dominican Republic beautiful weather and beautiful women. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hello thanks you for your Chanel. For what i know therre a lot Dominican living in DR that have money. So to me the dollar is not that important because with the investment that you have over there you be ok if something happens to de dollar
When I moved to Georgia from NYC and bought a home everyone hated on me as well. They don’t pay out there blah blah blah…. But hello who’s winning? I own a 5 bedroom home in Georgia and they’re living with their mom in the projects in NYC 😂 make it make sense
@Norberis those comments are just hate I’m proud to see you and your husband doing great love your content you have been great helpful throughout my journey I been married now 4 years who is a Dominican and yes we live in DR❤
Brother. Sister. Don't even trip on the haters. They will always be there. Just keep doing what you are doing because a lot of people benefit from the info you are sharing! As to using the pension etc to live outside the US, there are rich people who have properties all over the world and live outside the USA on the money they and in many cases their families have earned inside the US for generations and they have no problem and I'm sure get no criticism from the peanut gallery or certainly none from their peer groups.
I don't think there is anything wrong with taking your pension and living abroad if you can get more value for your dollar, it's your right to live where you wish for money 💰 that you worked for.
Let the haters hate. If you are intelligent enough to make your dollars go further by changing your location. GREAT. Your chosen profession is your choice and what you earn is to your benefit. Lazy people cry the most about what positive people are doing and earning. Enjoy your prosperity and like a duck let the water run off your back.
The green monster comes out. The world owes them a living. I think content creators need to be thinkers, be in touch with the viewers. It's not an easy job. I love the both of you. ❤
Well I am so proud of you two, as a family, making good and helpful content!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...I have goals to have a place abroad as I get closer to retirement! The US is my home but we have to understand we are moving to Global Citizenship! Ps...and you guys are going to help me do so!💪🏾👏🏾✊🏾😁
Let’s remember that the dollar is king throughout the world, because oil it’s only traded in dollars, and the economies of the world are run with oil. Wherever you are in the world if you want to buy oil to run your economy you need dollars that’s why the dollar is king
“The civilized man has No Country , he is a Citizen of the World “ ( Montesquieu in Spirits of Law) People who travel tend to be more tolerant , intellectually curious and respectful of other cultures, less ethnocentric . Trees die where they are planted, People travel. Everybody should have a passport and experience life next door
Great video! To your point, it’s YOUR MONEY that YOU worked for and put into the system over years. It’s not a charity. You’re gonna’ pay taxes, [mis]management fees, lose value to inflation and all kinds of other intangible costs such as waiting for age limits, trusting companies & pension funds, etc. Whatever remaining funds you get at the end of the day, you’ve paid your dues. Anybody that’s pocket watching what you’ve worked for and wants to lecture you about stimulating the US economy can stimulate a foot up their @sses. Again, you’ve paid your dues. Enjoy your life. 💯💪🏾
Another great video with good points. I would like to add that I have been on a pension for 9 years in the Dominican Republic and that pension is fixed, however inflation is not fixed so in essence it cost me more to live in the Dominican Republic now than it did 9 years ago. The inflation rate in both the Dominican Republic and the United States is about 4% so every year if you have a fixed income, you are 4% behind regardless as to which currency you use. In addition, the US dollar is currently the worlds reserve currency which is the reason it is so strong, however there is a move amongst anti-United States nations in the BRICS group that plan to replace the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. When this will happen, we do not know but sometime in the future we are likely to see a change in the influence and power of the U.S. dollar.
@crazyworld2570 all pensionados do not collect social security. Even if they do collect Social Security the COLA is 2% vs. 4 -6% inflation depending on whose numbers you use.
The vast majority of the world's oil transactions occur in dollars. As the global oil trade amounts to billions of dollars per day and all countries need energy, this creates a great deal of demand for dollars to facilitate these transactions. So Dollar is King 👑
It is a natural phenomenon. It is precisely why people migrate. The migration crisis is precisely because people want to exchange their labor for higher wages in the Western world. Yes wages generally reflect the local cost of living which is why wages are higher in New York and California. Corporations have production facilities in Asia , Mexico etc so individuals should be able to do the same. I think the issue is that sometimes it too many foreigners move into a poorer country is that it raises prices. It’s called inflation. The hate is a side effect of a real Issue that can arise Overall there is nothing wrong with moving to a lower cost country. Just respect the people and live your life.
Great video guys, I always love your content. Dont worry about the haters, there will always be people to criticize you no matter how much good you put out there! I have a question/concern for you. Im a few years from retirement but as I see at the pace the D.R. is growing and people keep investing and migrating there, do you think there will come a day where living there will be equivalent as here in the U.S.??? D.R. is not a secret anymore! Curious to know your thoughts. Keep enjoying life the way you should, be safe and God bless you both!
That person is jealous and envious of the strength of the American dollar and what he conveniently forgets is the US dollar being spent in places like DR helps their economy and probably provides jobs
I could care less what anybody think about my money that I worked for years to finally receive. I’m gonna enjoy my money in a country I can now get more bang for buck. There’s people that can’t even retire and live off their social security and pension because everything is so expensive. Putting money back into the economy is bs. Where I live, you have people in their late 60s early 70s doing door dash to make ends meet. It’s ridiculous. The people talk that nonsense about people leaving the country are usually haters who are knee deep in debt and can’t leave.
Sorry to let you know this is not totally correct for certain areas of the Dominican Republic. For example if you go to Las Terrenas, Puta Cana, Puerto Plata and other tourist areas, you're going to pay a 18% tax on most purchases and the prices are much higher than other areas. In addition the tip will already be included for most food places. Learn the exchange rate and the way to properly bargain. Get a currency converter app. One of the best ways to travel from city to city is on the Caribe Tours bus. Example a ticket from San Francisco De Macoris to Santiago one way is about $7.00 USD and these busses are on time, very clean and comfortable. Also take advantage of the drive by fruit and vegetable vendors. You can get some awesome deals. The other day we got 3 pineapples for $1 USD. Get the most out of the peso. Study the exchange rate and the fees associated with the exchange.
1. Good video. I'll hit on the major points. Retirement,,401 K and SSI and state taxes are all taxed as income. The US is now trying to tax money that are in off-shore accounts since 2023. 2. I think it's sad for a person look and talk down about the next man instead of learning and acquiring knowledge from that man to live a better lifestyle. 3. Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1972 to a standard of credit to allow people to be able to afford appliances, clothes over time (lay-away),,,, but really, it was a way to keep people in debt. 4. Sanford and Son was derived from a British show called Steptoe and Son. "ELIZABETH, I'm comin to join ya honey" was the comic phrase by Redd Foxx's character. He, at the time had a XX comedy show in Vegas but wasn't paying taxes on his earnings which got him in trouble. Eddie Murphy kept him working until his death on the set of Royale Family. 5. Without a plan for continuous income, stay put. Working at the casinos , resorts and restaurants do not pay well in DR.
Love your videos, you've made a subcriber out of me. I have 4 to 6 years before retiring, depending the age I want out of the rat race. The Philippines is toooo far, DR is close enough to get back to the US because family is here. I will continue to pay my Medicare Part B Premiums for US check-ups, Part-A is Free. Anyway, I want to know about Doctors in the DR, Medical treatments, Hospitals, health insurance in the DR, can you address this in your videos.
i would like to know about healthcare? i got sick and went to there hospital and i had to live back to US for emegency . that is the problem living aboard.
@@NorberisR como Dominicana que somos. Me gustaría escuchar todo esto en mi idioma Español. A menos que su canal sea solo para speaking English audiences. Cómo yo habemos muchas personas en Estados Unidos que nos gustaría regresar al país.

Moving and living abroad with my retirement is exactly my plan.
Haters will always be haters. Just do you. I really enjoy your content and I learned so much.
I appreciate that!
I love content creators because they give me the opportunity to see a country from boots on the ground before i get on the plane.
I celebrate both of you!! Glad you all are living your best life💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯💯💯
Yes! Thank you!🤗
My wife " who is Dominican " told me to not speak when we are out and about in DR because the price goes up right away lol. I don't listen 😅
😅
Lol... im Dominican but born in America and my accent is off. They still charge me more. 😂😂🎉🎉

Straight facts I love The Dominican Republic and I spend as much time off as possible. Definitely a possible retirement plan for me!
It is sad how people will always spend their best days of their life grinding and just enjoy when they are old... Thrust me, you enjoy way more when you are young and still healthy. That retirement thing is a scam

Most people are stuck in the US and some people are afraid to venture outside of what they're used to.

This is true.
In finance circles They call it financial arbitrage. Make american dollars, invest/spend them somewhere else.

There are really three main perspectives. Each with a valid point of view.

Great video! To your point, it’s YOUR MONEY that YOU worked for and put into the system over years. It’s not a charity. You’re gonna’ pay taxes, [mis]management fees, lose value to inflation and all kinds of other intangible costs such as waiting for age limits, trusting companies & pension funds, etc. Whatever remaining funds you get at the end of the day, you’ve paid your dues. Anybody that’s pocket watching what you’ve worked for and wants to lecture you about stimulating the US economy can stimulate a foot up their @sses. Again, you’ve paid your dues. Enjoy your life. 💯💪🏾
🤣😂I hope the people in the back heard that.
Another great video with good points. I would like to add that I have been on a pension for 9 years in the Dominican Republic and that pension is fixed, however inflation is not fixed so in essence it cost me more to live in the Dominican Republic now than it did 9 years ago. The inflation rate in both the Dominican Republic and the United States is about 4% so every year if you have a fixed income, you are 4% behind regardless as to which currency you use. In addition, the US dollar is currently the worlds reserve currency which is the reason it is so strong, however there is a move amongst anti-United States nations in the BRICS group that plan to replace the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. When this will happen, we do not know but sometime in the future we are likely to see a change in the influence and power of the U.S. dollar.
What about your social security? Are you collecting? Don’t you get cola with that?
@crazyworld2570 all pensionados do not collect social security. Even if they do collect Social Security the COLA is 2% vs. 4 -6% inflation depending on whose numbers you use.
@@dtcunningham1257 Yes. You’re right.
You can go to one of the money transfer companies all over Santo Domingo and get some Swiss Francs
Yo jay is my kinda guy 😄, "If Yo daddy wasn't shooting up the club, you wouldn't be here" 😄😄😄

The vast majority of the world's oil transactions occur in dollars. As the global oil trade amounts to billions of dollars per day and all countries need energy, this creates a great deal of demand for dollars to facilitate these transactions.
So Dollar is King 👑
Great information .
Glad it was helpful!
It makes economic sense to live in the DR.
It is a natural phenomenon. It is precisely why people migrate. The migration crisis is precisely because people want to exchange their labor for higher wages in the Western world.
Yes wages generally reflect the local cost of living which is why wages are higher in New York and California. Corporations have production facilities in Asia , Mexico etc so individuals should be able to do the same.
I think the issue is that sometimes it too many foreigners move into a poorer country is that it raises prices. It’s called inflation. The hate is a side effect of a real
Issue that can arise
Overall there is nothing wrong with moving to a lower cost country. Just respect the people and live your life.
Great video! I wanted you to say "más lejos" instead of "farther" and then just have your husband translate 😊
😅 I should have done that.
Yes hes 100 percent right😇
Ill never get how people hate like that
Me neither.
Yes the Pesos at 58 is NICE
Great video guys, I always love your content. Dont worry about the haters, there will always be people to criticize you no matter how much good you put out there!
I have a question/concern for you. Im a few years from retirement but as I see at the pace the D.R. is growing and people keep investing and migrating there, do you think there will come a day where living there will be equivalent as here in the U.S.??? D.R. is not a secret anymore! Curious to know your thoughts. Keep enjoying life the way you should, be safe and God bless you both!
We have already planned a video on this topic. Good suggestion. Stay tuned.
she is sooooooo beautiful,hes a lucky fella !!!!!!👍🏾❤️🙏🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
ANOTHER 1 ❤🎉
That person is jealous and envious of the strength of the American dollar and what he conveniently forgets is the US dollar being spent in places like DR helps their economy and probably provides jobs
Also, I would not change your money to the Euro because it is mismanaged there as well.
Very good video
Thanks
I could care less what anybody think about my money that I worked for years to finally receive. I’m gonna enjoy my money in a country I can now get more bang for buck. There’s people that can’t even retire and live off their social security and pension because everything is so expensive. Putting money back into the economy is bs. Where I live, you have people in their late 60s early 70s doing door dash to make ends meet. It’s ridiculous. The people talk that nonsense about people leaving the country are usually haters who are knee deep in debt and can’t leave.
Mic drop😅
Sanford and son! 😅😂
😆
Would you put a sizeable amount of money in a Dominican bank or keep your bank accounts in the United States? What
are the banking rules?
We have banks both here and the United States.
Sorry to let you know this is not totally correct for certain areas of the Dominican Republic. For example if you go to Las Terrenas, Puta Cana, Puerto Plata and other tourist areas, you're going to pay a 18% tax on most purchases and the prices are much higher than other areas. In addition the tip will already be included for most food places. Learn the exchange rate and the way to properly bargain. Get a currency converter app. One of the best ways to travel from city to city is on the Caribe Tours bus. Example a ticket from San Francisco De Macoris to Santiago one way is about $7.00 USD and these busses are on time, very clean and comfortable. Also take advantage of the drive by fruit and vegetable vendors. You can get some awesome deals. The other day we got 3 pineapples for $1 USD. Get the most out of the peso. Study the exchange rate and the fees associated with the exchange.
What's not totally correct?
1. Good video. I'll hit on the major points. Retirement,,401 K and SSI and state taxes are all taxed as income. The US is now trying to tax money that are in off-shore accounts since 2023.
2. I think it's sad for a person look and talk down about the next man instead of learning and acquiring knowledge from that man to live a better lifestyle.
3. Nixon took the US off the gold standard in 1972 to a standard of credit to allow people to be able to afford appliances, clothes over time (lay-away),,,, but really, it was a way to keep people in debt.
4. Sanford and Son was derived from a British show called Steptoe and Son. "ELIZABETH, I'm comin to join ya honey" was the comic phrase by Redd Foxx's character. He, at the time had a XX comedy show in Vegas but wasn't paying taxes on his earnings which got him in trouble. Eddie Murphy kept him working until his death on the set of Royale Family.
5. Without a plan for continuous income, stay put. Working at the casinos , resorts and restaurants do not pay well in DR.
Vernon, thank you for sharing this. Good information.

Good bro I had people told me don't go there already I have to leave the matrix in bullshit I will email you bro
They told you not to go where?
DR
That's interesting.
If you move to a cheap rural area in the USA as a senior, you need a car. Getting old in the USA is very lonely
I wanna know if i can i still get Social security 🤔 if i move there 14 years before eligible?
Yes
@@solentricxinc.9944 Thank u, I've been asking for months
Yes.
DR will fare better than most Americanos HANDS DOWN. That's why I'm moving to the Campo jjj
Which campo? Barahona?
Can't live in houston on $2500
I wonder if Norberis understands what shoot up the club means lol
No, I dont😁
@Norberis R. Do we tip in Santo Domingo?
It depends where you go. But yes
Tipping is not requires but in many expected and appreciated.
Love your videos, you've made a subcriber out of me. I have 4 to 6 years before retiring, depending the age I want out of the rat race. The Philippines is toooo far, DR is close enough to get back to the US because family is here. I will continue to pay my Medicare Part B Premiums for US check-ups, Part-A is Free. Anyway, I want to know about Doctors in the DR, Medical treatments, Hospitals, health insurance in the DR, can you address this in your videos.
Thank you in Advance
I don't a video hospital and health insurance before. You can check out those videos. I plan to do an update on health insurance soon.
How does the country feel about women and tattoos? I'm visiting again & I have a tattoo on the side of my head. Should I cover it?
The country doesn't feel anyway about it. It's not something you normally see here. But it's up to you whether you want to cover it or not.
i would like to know about healthcare? i got sick and went to there hospital and i had to live back to US for emegency . that is the problem living aboard.
What about Healthcare are you wanting to know? Did you have insurance when you went to the hospital here? Did you go to a public or private hospital?
Nixon took us off the Gold Standard
Also can't live in Colorado not at all comfortable
Fuck the haters 😂 tell them what they need to hear it’s funny
😅
Also, don't move to another country if you don't have a source of income from your home country. They move somewhere else to live in poverty.
Trying to chose between whr yall at or Thailand
Both are good options.
@@NorberisR I prefer a nice looking dominican woman tho. More shapely lol
Sound like you'll be in DR then😂
but folks in foreign always want american dollars when u travel
Do you have a Spanish channel?
No, I don't.
@@NorberisR como Dominicana que somos. Me gustaría escuchar todo esto en mi idioma Español. A menos que su canal sea solo para speaking English audiences. Cómo yo habemos muchas personas en Estados Unidos que nos gustaría regresar al país.
Hola buenas tardes Catalina muchas gracias lo estoy considerando para empezar uno en español.
9:12 because they are jealous
Sounds like it.
Fuck the haters
