Murano, I have a couple of questions:

1. What made you move to the DR?

2. Are you satisfied with your move?  I see a couple of knuckleheads on YouTube who ask why, "would an America leave the richest country in the world and live in a third world country?".

I was in the DR for a couple of months in my apartment about 6yrs ago, and after staying here that long, gathering intel, and relating to people that lived abroad, I realized it was something that could work for me.    I realized that the US is not the world.  That there is a lot more to see and experience in the world than being tethered to the US.   So I took what was supposed to be a vacation and turned it into a bold move.   

I held onto my residence in the states until 2016, before selling it, and liquidating almost everything that I own.   If I ever decide to acquire a residence in the states again,  I have the money and resources to do it.   But at this time, it's not necessary.     Besides, as a US citizen with a passport,  living abroad does not mean I am completely severed from the US. 
The ability to travel back and forth to the US, and having residency on paper means I am a resident who physically lives in the US when ever I want for any given time.   

For those that choose to believe the US is the richest country in the world,  I say ok.  So what?   Im retired on a good fixed income, savings and investments.  Im not in need of work to build riches,  so what do I care if the US is the richest in the world?   The people probably focused on USA riches, are those who may still need to work.  May perhaps be tethered to materialism, the need to project outward appearances, are used to being around people who judge you based on where you live, what you drive, what you wear.   In the USA you get daily subliminal and obvious programming to consume, buy and spend.   There is a reason why so many millions of people are flat broke , even while in the richest country in the world.  Living abroad,  you can leave that mentality behind.  If you take it with you abroad,  thats your own problem. 

I dont have to be inundated with drug commericals, ads to buy simp jewelry for women, dealing with the daily consumption of women being pedestalized in the media and day to day interaction.   Women are literally worshipped daily right before your eyes.  The deluge of sexual stimulation men get daily,  is frustrating the hell out of men.  Many men are tolerating their own fucked up existence in the US, but they know something is not right.  Men are like 2nd hand citizens.  Allowed to make the country great for women and children,  while they enjoy their own nest slavery, and mule duties. 

Now the DR is not exactly perfect of course.  But at least the women are not commanding their men on how to be men.  In the DR many of their own men are fucked up.  But as a foreigner,  I can be king without any effort.   I dont have to look or dress a certain way.  Jewelry not necessary.  I can drive any vehicle I want without anybody batting an eye.    Im not looked at funny if I go into a place like Home Depot, and some chick looks at me like Im a scrub she cant talk to.   Thats the shit men tolerate each and every day ( generally speaking ).   

Look at the dating scene in the states.  A man has to nearly kiss some chicks ass just to date the chick.   And if you dont spend money according to their expectations,  you are done before you get started.   That was never an issue 40 yrs ago for me and many other men.    I had a lot of fun, and a lot of pussy then.  But nowadays, it's not good even for the so called Alpha males.   Getting taken to the cleaners and being alienated from your children.

Yeah the US is the richest country,  but it's also one of the most fucked up countries as well.   Many murders and suicides have happened because of the richest country in the world causing some people to reach a boiling point.   Yeah, lets not forget about the blatant racism people have to endure.   You mean,  that shit shouldnt be factored into the equation?   That alone is reason to get the hell out of the US.   At least long enough to detox from the negative aspects of living in the US. 

Now if you noticed,  I can go on and on , for this topic.  And I havent even covered the female draw yet.   So what do you think so far?   Im loving my presumed freedom.  When I watch what is going on in the states,  I feel detached like it has very little to do with me.  Do you know how that feels,  knowing you can be aware of something going on somewhere and it doesnt have to drag your spirit as if you are a part of it.    Once one realizes that,  you begin to see the world in a totally different way.  1st thing is.  THE USA is not the WORLD.    Some countries are way more advanced than the US as far as technology,  health sciences and many other aspects.  But many Americans think the US is always above other places in the world.  And that is just not true.
