If you are a disabled veteran with at least a 60 percent rating...
...take that and enjoy your life around the World..well, Central/South America.

Hey guys! I was thinking about how fortunate I am and thought maybe I could put a bug in the ear of someone to cheer them up and see a new path.

I got out of the Army back in 2010 and was awarded with a 60 percent disability rating. My terrible marriage came to an end, I had used the GI bill to graduate from college and started looking around for work. Wow, did that just about make me want spend the afternoon drinking with Ray Rice...that bad.

After 6 months of deliberating I decided to take my 60 percent (which is around a thousand bucks a month) and move to a fully equipped cabin on the beach in Costa Rica. (the light blue Caribbean waters just outside my front door)

With that monthly money I was able to easily live, enjoy internet, cable, endless white sandy beaches and still have money for "extras". (Obviously no car, big screens or hot water but NO WORK either!)

Going into that adventure I thought I would be happy being single living in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen at a cut rate price. However..life took over and my heart went pitter patter over a beautiful, smart, gorgeous, amazing, beautiful, perfect Costa Rican woman.

It has been two years since I stepped on the plane and left South Dakota. My WIFE and I just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on Sunday. (Thanks for the shitty gift fat Andy..my bride said "Why didn't they just count and see that there were twelve players? That seems pretty simple, right?" Gotta love her.)

Anywho, if you have some adventure in your bones (which you do if you signed up) roll the dice Vets. Or, if you are not a vet but have a thousand dollars a month pension or a big wad of cash, take a look around and decide if living in the US is what you really want.

Take the leap and you may be rewarded more than you could ever imagine!

Cheers and have wonderful day!



P.S. For anyone that actually wants to try this, let me know and I will break down every step for you.


Edit: I forgot to mention that I am 30, a good age for retirement.

Well is it tied to being 60% (because you're 60%), or is it that you need only a certain amount of money (not much) to live well?

I swore I've never go back to anywhere between southern Mexico and Northern Columbia/Venezuela, but I might have to rethink that as I grow older.

60 is the sweet spot of the bat(for me) because it is right around $1000 which is what I comfortably lived on.

On the Caribbean side. I would never live near Tom Fady on the left coast here. Plus, the 1000 bucks would mean nothing over there.

How long did the whole VA process take you?

The wife is about to get out after 11 years in the Air Force and it's pretty much a guarantee that she's going to be above 60% (going on 4 knee surgeries and a couple of other issues).

At the Sioux Falls VA I was all sorted out within 9 months. Sorry for her knees!

Mine is not quite as adventurous but one night, I was working late in OP and came out to me car, which had been frozen over due to an ice storm and I couldn't get the key in the keyhole as it was frozen over.

I pissed on that keyhole, melted the ice, scraped that shit from my windshied, and drove home, while my car clunked along with ice blocks frozen to the tires.

"Man, **** this shit" I said. One week later I was on my way to California. No job, no place to live and just $3K in cash.

I have NEVER regretted that silly, spontaneous move.
