#1- When Gringos apply for residency and/or citizenship/passport in
their new Latin country- do they really need to be fluent in Spanish?
Well the forms are all in Spanish, as well the questions immigration
authorities will ask. To get through it ok, at what level of Spanish
might you reasonably get by? Remember, there‘s no such thing as press #1
for “Ingles”, in Latin America!

#2– Here’s a question: how would
your morale stand up if you were a public school teacher/professor and
your government’s dept. of education was 6 months in arrears on your
paycheck? Nope, nothing new down here. Par for the course for all things
public in Latin America
#3- Even the most “average” stateside
gringo knows there’s something bad coming in the USA. Though right now
its like the calm before the storm. Meanwhile 95% of Americans keep
their heads down and continue to spin endlessly on the treadmills. Oh,
but when asked what they’ll do when TSHTF most say they’ll have a plan
by then. For now they’re mostly thinking about planning to get a plan.
But you’re not one of those types, right? Your plan “B” is well under
way, correct?
#4- You can buy the latest computers and smart
gadgets in Latin America, especially if you live near a decent sized
city. When you purchase electronics you’ll get the ususal
guarantees/warranties too. However, except for US store branches like
Sears, Office Depot and Costco, etc., Latin warranty service is only
fair to dismal. Bottom line, don’t assume your flat-screen TV warranty
is as advertised. So then, should you buy big ticket items at Sears or
Costco so just for the sake of the solid warranties? Today we tackle
that theme and more..
#5-Consult with Johnny- Schedule a cell or
Skype call: Set up a time to talk and sort out your own specific Latin
American “PLAN- B”. Just write “CONSULT” in the subject line with a
short list of questions/talking points to: theexpatfiles@gmail.com
