Why I’m Leaving Puerto Rico After 1 Year
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- So I’m leaving Puerto Rico after about a year now, and I’m going to go into details about everything. But for those that don’t know I came to Puerto rico under a tax incentive, and the idea is to bring more money to Puerto rico, and to have people to invest in Puerto rico, hire people and spend money. I did all those things, I bought real estate, I employed someone, and I spent a lot of money here and I also became a part of the community ( my church ).
I like it here, the quality of life is 10x better than in the US, it’s more affordable and the people here are amazing, at least the people I’ve mean, you’ll always find a butt face wherever you go.
However I went to Florida earlier this year and my plans kind of fell through and I ended hanging out with some old people that meant on this app called Meetup, now obviously they are a lot older than me, but I have a lot more in common with them than I do with the average person my age. I can literally retire today and never have to work again and I can live wherever I want. Now there was very common person that I mean, they were snowbirds, it’s a bird that moves to warmer weather during the winter, they can live one place for 6 months and in another place for 6 months. Some do it to save money and taxes and some do it for quality of life.
So I’ve decided that’s what I want to do for now.

1. Here is what I want you To learn from this video
75k Rule: it was study that showed that past making 75k a year, it doesn’t really add more happiness to your life, and when I was making minimum wage, the only thing I wanted to do was find that out for myself.
Quality of Life: To me a Good life is life of healthy mixture of daily challenges, and being around people that you love. Here in Puerto Rico I have only two family members which are women, and past the age of 60.
Always think Both: I read that in a book years ago, secrets of the mind of a millionaires, millionaires always think both, you see I can stay in Puerto Rico full time or half time and still get the same results and be happier.
2. Where I’m Going and Why plus Money
So I’m going back home, I’ve never been home since I was about 6 years old
I’ve always lived abroad and I thank abroad for all the opportunities and all the great people
However theirs something different about being home
So here are the details:
I’m going back to Dominican Republic and I’ll be staying for half the year
My entire family is their and people that I don’t know know me and my family
I feel at home at home
Money wise will this be more expensive
No it won't be
My only cost are going to be Utilities, groceries and transportation ( thankfully my mom already owns a home ) and she stays in New York so I can stay their
So perspective wise, I’ll actually save money while being their
3. What about Work, Puerto Rican Assets and Your friend here
The good thing about my job which is to be a teacher of complex money topics and help anyone understand it, is that I can do it from anywhere in the world, just need internet and camera
My home in Puerto Rico, I’ll most likely put it on Airbnb for half the year, while I’m gone so the house can stay in USE
Friend here are very understanding, they understand that their a big correlation between quality of life and happiness and happiness for the most part has to do with GOD first and Relationships second

DR it makes a lot of sense young sir! A wise man was once heard say, “I know how to get everything I want out of life”. And when he was asked to expand on that point he said, “Simply help someone else get everything they want out of life”. Your desire to to provide value to people means that you will always be well taken care of. Great video!
Thats powerful, first time hearing this 🙏
Wow, I Love this praise God! ❤🙏🏽
Living in Panama, Costa Rica and having experience with European countries as well, this is your best bet!! :
PUERTO RICO everyone we meet here speaks fluent english and we live out of the capital!
DR! great points and info. Just came back from DR and I loved it. Working on a plan..thanks.
DR, Your videos are so inspiring. Dominican Republic is one of the places on my bucket list to visit.
DR. Good Talk Tommy and very insightful message and I'm sure you have spent some considerable time reflecting on your deepest desires to decide on making this new change. Good for you, and may you find fulfillment, love, and joy within your new venture. Stay Strong! And keep Inspiring!!
Appreciate you brother
D.R. I love your content! Thank you for letting us follow along your journey and explaining your decisions so well!!!
Always
🇩🇴DR🇩🇴 Thank you Tommy for this video. The biggest idea that I got from it was try things in life. If you don’t like it you can change it. For example you said you thought about living there until you are 30, but then you changed your mind after about a year of living there then you can just change your plans. That’s fine if you don’t like something, change it you have to stick with it forever. Especially as you said you never know how much time you have left so make the most of the time you have. Great video Tommy! 👍🏾
U have no idea how helpful inspirational educational and just plain AWESOME your videos are. I’m working Thru some major issues in life and am making baby step type progress which is often times related to your information. I appreciate everything very much and wish u all the best In all u do moving forward. Take good care 💯💯💯💯
Thank you and you got this, step by step.
I am from DR and I am building my house there in a small town Where I was raised till I came to NY living in New York has taught me a lot including that sometimes living with less but a more quite and peaceful life without much stress it’s something that bring joy to me! I can’t catch a break here in New York, car tickets, no parking, working all day everyday to meet end needs, running around omg this way of living is not beneficial for a healthy living! Thanks for the video 🙏🏽❤️
Where in dr
One years later ! My house is done ✔️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 probably going back in few months
@@IsauraAbreuI’m curious, so are u trying to “shortcut” ur way to middle class/upper middle class in DR by living in NYC for few yrs?
@@IsauraAbreu Congratulations
Me imagino que puedes! Si no se paga taxes y la mayoria dominicana....no pagan taxes porque no tienen papeles. Trabajan sin pagar taxes y ae llevan los horror a la isla. Si, Claro haci? Cualquiera puede! 🙄🤬
DR. Thanks for sharing, Tommy. Praying for safe travels and enjoyment wherever you go
Thanks 🙏
DR.. Great Content As Always Brutha!! You Are Appreciated
DR. Sound advice. Will implement what parts applies to my journey. - Thank you
Awesome video. Definitely agreed with your mindset and learned a lot. Maybe I’ll bump into you in the DR this winter.
Tomasito, I have lived around the world for many years and there is no place like home. But, I do like living overseas and if having an income that will take you overseas do it. Living between PR and DR is not being a snowbird, it's being a tropical bird. Great video and I am so glad you have a sense of humor. Cuídate
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 I did the same and came back to 🇩🇴 with my teenage son which has virtual H..S. worked out great for us. I'm an Accountant as well and work from home. Couldn't ask for more☺️
DR…great video and very good advice! I left my home state of MI, it will be 4 years next week and moved to FL because I was sick of the winter😄 I have zero regrets, love my home and area but you are completely right it’s all about the quality of life. My next goal is to also split my time in FL and I’m looking for an exciting country that could be my second home😊
That’s awesome, write it down on papers and look deep into it; sometimes the cost are a lot less than you think
DR. 100% facts! Thank you for sharing your advice and knowledge! Much appreciated bro
Dear Tommy
Thank you for a great program. You are such a great person with so much talent and I know you are going to make it anywhere. Best regards Lars Wraae
🙏
D.R. I think you sparked an idea of the type of life I would like to have! I wasn’t born in DR I was born in the US but I also feel this sense of home whenever I had visited there, idk how to describe it but awesome video! Hope all is well with you and wish you nothing but the best in your move!
ER! First time viewing your channel! You've inspired me to be productive again.I'm 75 think like I'm 40 and been wasting my $$$ on " things" to fill voids.I will watch your videos to see what online job good for me.God bless you
D. R.
Love your content and how you explain everything in detail, making changes while I take some notes, thanks again for the knowledge!!

DR videos are epic and have inspired me to get back to it🙏🏽🔥🌿
WoW Tommy, been listening to your channel for about 6 month and couldn't tell you are Dominicano. What a pleasant surprise. Mucha suerte primo. And in case you didn't know, you there is a ferry between DR & PR.
DR, happy to see your journey expand
Very inspirational and so true in every respect. Super video. Thank you
Good luck bro, looking forward to seeing your journey 😎👊🏾
DR. Really good video Tommy. I'm going through that nostalgic wave right now and I'm from Cuba. I hope I can figure out a way to do that. Good luck in your new journey.

Thank you and likewise, be smart with where you buy
DR good video, I hope that you will have a happier existence in the Dominican Republic and that it will be safe living there😎🏁
That is so dope that you get to travel and live in different places. I would really love to try living in two places at once, especially if there is financial insensitive for me to do so
Tommy I really enjoy your videos. Congratulations. DR
🙌thank you
DR thanks for sharing.
Always
Really good video I loved it. Did the hurricane have anything to do with you thinking about that how much time you have left quote?
DR dam bro much respect I’m Dominican too. Didn’t kno we was brothers mannnnnn. Keep up the great work
Ayeee 😎
DR
Buena suerte Tommy! Voy para tra el próximo año a la república Dominicana. Que país lindo 🇩🇴
Haci es
@@TommyBryson 🇩🇴 I will do the same
Awesome video and such a great thought process and defined intentions 👍🏻
A few things I would add to your suggestions are that if someone owns their own vehicle they can sell it and purchase a small RV or camper to live in as you can find friends anywhere who would be happy to let you use their electric connection and will watch your stuff or keep it in their own garage/storage while you're gone
There are so many options of great countries and languages to learn by living in a community (helping to run or promote businesses, farming & agriculture work, as well as the many new businesses that one just naturally comes onto whenever new relationships with like minded people are nurtured,
The issue most people get bogged down with is that they need to stay in a specific job or work in an industry they have already established themselves in and that just isn't true and when moving sometimes one of the most detrimental hang-ups that keep people from overcoming and leaning to grow those previously neglected talents or long forgotten goals that even the most menial tasks done with all of your heart ❤️ can spark a memory of, like that dream you had when you were young to be a pilot (starting small by putting some hours in on a Paramotor rental or taking flight lessons) or that thing your mom, dad, grandmother or friends keep saying you're so good at but you're keeping yourself from taking the next step just to simply save up for that musical instrument and join the band that keeps asking you to come play on the weekends at parties with them...
And all that we do the forefront of our thoughts should be that others are on a journey just like we are and when we see their inadequacies and joined together as a team to help them instead of mentioning it to them in passing or gossiping about it with others like happens so oftentimes now-a-days, together we will fit like a wonderful 🧩 puzzle piece into the Kaleidoscope of warming light into the ♾️ eternity we are destined for! 💛🧡💚🤍💗
🙏🇩🇴D.R.🇩🇴 🙌🏻☝🏻🤜🏾🤛🏼
DR, I'm dominican also and me and my wife bought a penthouse condo in Carolina recently which we're setting up for airbnb and hopefully we want to move down there and split time between the 2 Islands which would be the perfect life, good luck in your endeavors
DR🇩🇴 Never away de la casa!!! Desde New York!!
DR .. thanks for the info
DR bro. Great video. As some people say, home is where the heart is. Goodluck.
Facts
Love the journey your on dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks 🙏
Oh man, I would love to move to the DR now, good luck on your move. One thing though, the DR is not known for stellar high speed internet with the exception of New builds in Santo Domingo so check around and also stock up on your techie gear in PR, before you move. Stuff like this is limited and if you buy in the DR comes with a hefty import tax attached.
Interesting. Goodluck on your journey!
Please put ads on your videos. You deserve the extra $ for all your work.
DR-
We have ads, and appreciate you
DR, I respect you grind ✊🏽
Appreciate you
DR Tommy. I'm very happy for you.
Thanks 🙏
DR. Tommy there's someone in the comments with your profile picture asking people to message him. He's pass off as you. Great content, love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Thanks for letting me know 🙌
dr. I wish you well!
Thank you
DR. I love this channel. I'm really happy for you and already follow your Instagram. I'm sure your family will be so happy that you're going home. One of my close friends is from Dominican Republic as well. Congratulations on your decision, and you're right, we all think we have enough time left because we don't know how much time we have left 💯💪🏽🙏🏽🔥😇
Thank you and exactly 🙏
No lo entendemos pero lo aceptamos 😢 un abrazo mi hermano!! Si lo entiendo :)
DR home is where the heart is. I always say that happiness is achieved when you are doing the things that you love
There seriously is no place like home. I learned that after living away for 10 years. I’m now home to stay
Well said
I agree with you Jayne.
Sitting in "quarantine" solitairy confinement jail hotel right now in the Philippines, thinking maybe I should have just stayed in the USA where I have some rights and freedoms. 🤔
@@waterheaterservices if you're not able to get out I'd be happy to reach out to someone in the area to see about the most expedited way of getting you home 🏠❓☎️ or established in another country 🇲🇽🇪🇸🇵🇭
DR
Used to live in Cabarete and can't blame you for living it!
DR! Felicidades paisano!
Gracias 🙏
D.R. I'm glad you are pursuing joy 😊
Nice I plan to move and retire in Dominican Republic in the town of Moca. I'm saving enough and investing to have enough to retire in DR. What do you advise to start the legal process to get your Dominican residency for expats.
The one thing that I have noticed is that PR is a jewel and naturally a beautiful Island in the Caribbean. And also that Americans from PR and the ones that live there are proud of their Island, Culture and history, and rightly so. But yet, most of all, I noticed all the litter, filth and garbage all over much of the island. What is that all about? I wld be embarrassed. WHAT GIVES? We wld volunteer to clean up, get it all nice, and than in 2 days, we wld go bk, and there wld be litter all over the place again.
DR thank you for this video. New to the channel. Please do a return to DR update. I am 66 and miserable in TX. Looking for a better quality of life. Looking at Belize. What is the DR like. Let us know. Thank you
DR...I watch all the way!
D.R I always enjoy watching your videos Tommy 👍🏽
Appreciate your feedback 💜
Write the number above let's chat.
DR.. Tommy keep doing your thing bro.. I enjoy watching your videos.. I’m looking forward to seeing or hearing what DR has to offer. Pero recuerda Puerto Rico es la isla de encanto… lol stay safe and god bless
Lol DR and PR both amazing 😎for sure
DR ..Rooting for you bro !
Thanks bro
DR... Bueno, quiero hacerme "snowbird" también, pero hay q ahorrar mas dinero primero. I'm still hoping to have a place in PR too!
Write it down on paper and plan it out, might be a lot cheaper and more possible than you think
Great video and DR. I kind of do the same thing. I never heard of the $75,000 idea until now and I agree. Never really thought of that but I surpassed that number 24 years ago and it hasn't made me any happier. What I have done to spice life up is move every couple of years. Moving sucks yes but moving to different areas of San Antonio and now outside of San Antonio has made our life fun and interesting. Meeting new people. Experiencing new places etc. I'm in Rotary Club so new towns mean new opportunities to help the community I live in. Our next move in a year or so is going to be a move to Downtown Corpus Christi. I'm from there but now the Downtown has a nightlife and has new condos etc and all new experiences. Our family doesn't quite get it but it's what adds some fun and happiness to my wife and my life. Thanks again brother!
That’s why I love personal finance, it’s based on what works for individuals. I’m glad you found a workaround you love
Thank you for mentioning Corpus Christi. I'm from Houston but want to live in a beach town (not Galveston) but never considered corpus or s. Padre because they both always seemed so boring outside the beach. Moving from a big city like Houston I still want have access to other sources of entertainment so hearing that corpus is trying to add more things to do is encouraging. I may need to take a weekend trip down there to check it out.
Así mismo 💪💪💪 dale mi hermano DR
DR This is an excellent plan.
I love your style. Every content you put out is always so meaningful, I’m Haitian please say hello to my brothers and sisters who are humbly taking refuge in your country. God bless your journey
Never been to DR, but I know you will be happy! That's all that matters!
Hope you okay out there fam.
We’re good brother; thank you
Hola Tommy, Thank you for the video, It is very expiring. I have just reached 20 years on my job. I can retire early . I , looking for a remote job online where I can live anywhere. I have visited the DR more than 40 times I love it. i want Puerto Rico as my base, but live at least half the year in the DR and some time in Mexico. I speak some Spanish (Puerto Rican/ Panama decent) How did you get your job and how can I get an online job too ( been looking)....Gracias mi hermano
Great realistic video!
🙌🙌
DR. You are 100% correct, there is no place like Home.
Yeah, took a while to realize but better late than to late lol
Good luck D.R.!
I am moving back home myself in less than 2 months.
Where’s home ?
@@TommyBryson Miami
DR - Do you have a video about the tax incentives for investing in Puerto Rico?
DR🎉 Great Advice
DR.
Always wanted to and am now planning on moving to the D.R. but am not from there, I have researched some places in the middle interior highlands where there is cooler weather and rivers and lakes that I like. Wouldn't I be a victim though as a non-native Spanish speaker that is a foreigner? Please provide your insight as a native Dominicano. Thanx!
Go visit and check it out; sometimes can only be understood after you’ve experience them
Good move man, you should try visiting Sosua
Oooh that’s super far lol from where I live; however willing to try anything once usually
One of the main points of rich dad poor dad was figuring out how to do "both" as well. Good philosophy
Yeah I remember that, always think both
DR...is funny I spent a month there and thinking of same things. Sometimes we prioritize the wrong things. Wants vs. needs.
I was trying to guess before you told us the news about where you are moving to. I hope one we can a get video from your wise grandma as an interview style that would be amazing
DR. Tommy great content. I am also Dominican in Florida. Would like to stay connected. Que Lo Que? Blessings
My guy
There's nothing like home. DR is were its at. What part of DR are you from?
Para arriba DR 🇩🇴 I live in NY but Im planning on moving to PR, first I want to secure a WFH job bc I do know the wages in PR aren’t that good
75k was the happiness bar when the study was made (2010) adjusted for inflation in 2022, the new bar is 100k
Raise the bar a little .. make that 150k-200k
@@charlesxavier3489 I agree in reality its closer to 150k, Im saying 100k minimum
@@sp123 for sure!!!
Great video, just seeing it. Heads up on the tax incentive home though, you cannot rent out your primary home. That will put you in violation. I’ve been here for 3 years and have maintained 2 homes. Consulted with all the major tax attorneys here. Be careful!
Hey bro Huge fan here! A little of advice in anyway possible because you like to help others and also me too. Okay I was born in Miami and I’m 39 now but after 11 years old my parents decided to move to Puerto Rico so I was raised 100% and Puerto Rico but do have family in Dominic Republic on my mom’s family but be careful in your decisions because even if you were born in your country you are use to any or all Americans system and life since you were raised in the states and the your country the economy and money are very different and you will be the only American living like an American life in that country and no one has lived or is living obviously and if you have house’s or homes in the states and in Puerto Rico put them to rent definitely because your source of income can help you raise your goals in anyway possible because in the your country life is not easy and it’s not an American life neither so be extra careful. Blessings and be safe anywhere!!
Yup. What u said is lots of reason why probably 90% of ppl born outside of DR, PR, etc eventually move back to USA after living in DR, PR, etc.
YUP! Snowbird is my Life Goal!
