Expat Files - Living Like Kings And Queens - 03/28/14

2014-03-28

- How and why so many tens of thousands of legal Latin aliens up in the states(former illegals) are now retiring from their middle and lower middle-class first-world unskilled jobs (bus drivers, city workers and such) and moving back down to Latin America in order live like kings and queens- like they never could up in the states on their small pensions and savings. What do these folks know that others don’t? Well, nothing we don't talk about on the Expat Files all of the time. We knew that already!

-Once you get settled in Latin America, you really must check out all the great Yard and Rummage sales. For all you antiquers there are tremendous opportunities… and get this: a lot of amazing one-of-a-kind handmade and furniture items you simply have never even seen before. But do remember that all the great deals and amazing things will almost never be found on the gringo tourist trail. In Costa Rica for example, the gringos already picked through the good stuff ages ago.

-You ever wonder where all the world's manual typewriters went? Remember those... the ones that you hated in 9th grade typing class? Not so long ago every stateside home and office had them. Yup, I even had one once. Well, not all of them made a trip to the dumpster (or melted down to became Toyotas). There are millions still in daily use down here in Latin America and they still sell brand new ones in stores and by bulk in the newspaper classifieds!
