I would like to give insight and answers about living as an expat

Being American myself and wife over the course of 5 years I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about the experience. I wish I had this information, I would have done things very different. Everybody's financial situation is different, many people are able to make it happen from $500 a month to 10K a month. I personally had a budget of 5k a month in passive income. I acquired friends all living the same dream with different budgets, some happier than others heh.

<pre><code> Over the course of five years I spent considerable amount of time in Puebla, MX, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Lake Tahoe, Panama, Hawaii, and Colombia only Medellin though. I sent my daughter to various schools mostly elementary school private and public. I would be more than happy to talk about healthcare in these countries, schooling,medicines and procedures, nightmare scenarios, ect. Nice to meet y'all. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdxooxkV9YjBhmKFJahF6zB2UGcbZKb55quPhy23aSzgh/12376705_10153345665764366_9076731716362754981_n.jpg" alt="12376705_10153345665764366_9076731716362754981_n.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdxooxkV9YjBhmKFJahF6zB2UGcbZKb55quPhy23aSzgh/12376705_10153345665764366_9076731716362754981_n.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmdxooxkV9YjBhmKFJahF6zB2UGcbZKb55quPhy23aSzgh/12376705_10153345665764366_9076731716362754981_n.jpg 2x" /><br /> This is above Squaw Valley north Lake Tahoe, CA <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNyQyqwDY1nxMo9GzC7FhxJzjydifBRZawkbogSaEreN/13442273_10153754448464366_7972452881867646979_n.jpg" alt="13442273_10153754448464366_7972452881867646979_n.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNyQyqwDY1nxMo9GzC7FhxJzjydifBRZawkbogSaEreN/13442273_10153754448464366_7972452881867646979_n.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNyQyqwDY1nxMo9GzC7FhxJzjydifBRZawkbogSaEreN/13442273_10153754448464366_7972452881867646979_n.jpg 2x" /><br /> Riding Horses with my daughter 20$ for two hours <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmfH18kRq4N154xQHZZUozH5c71T3eXjTaoutUE73CztV8/13432218_10153754448239366_5958088166718105824_n.jpg" alt="13432218_10153754448239366_5958088166718105824_n.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmfH18kRq4N154xQHZZUozH5c71T3eXjTaoutUE73CztV8/13432218_10153754448239366_5958088166718105824_n.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmfH18kRq4N154xQHZZUozH5c71T3eXjTaoutUE73CztV8/13432218_10153754448239366_5958088166718105824_n.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">Volcano Arenal, Costa Rica <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUVGqHJ6m3wc1m7hCX5eyw5S1stePMEKrYM7em7aGbikh/1513661_10152382357424366_8360770328722870350_n.jpg" alt="1513661_10152382357424366_8360770328722870350_n.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUVGqHJ6m3wc1m7hCX5eyw5S1stePMEKrYM7em7aGbikh/1513661_10152382357424366_8360770328722870350_n.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUVGqHJ6m3wc1m7hCX5eyw5S1stePMEKrYM7em7aGbikh/1513661_10152382357424366_8360770328722870350_n.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">Monkey on my room, Manual Antonio, CR <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcWSxjrKWtxBvwnRBvFJJqEVqNVTb54MrX3NwvqUTG3yb/13872728_10153878380354366_188217718206393596_n.jpg" alt="13872728_10153878380354366_188217718206393596_n.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcWSxjrKWtxBvwnRBvFJJqEVqNVTb54MrX3NwvqUTG3yb/13872728_10153878380354366_188217718206393596_n.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcWSxjrKWtxBvwnRBvFJJqEVqNVTb54MrX3NwvqUTG3yb/13872728_10153878380354366_188217718206393596_n.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">Kona, HI
