Y'all - I know I'm reading this stuff late - but I just love you guys - thank you @Iamkerenlouise, @Exodussummit, and @Actionvj - each of you have participated in the making of OBU - Ric and I are so grateful you are in our lives. 🥹

Five years after starting a business, I ended up having to go back to work for a couple years. My mother told me, “I prayed that you would find a good job like the one you had.” That job was killing me. She didn’t have the presence of mind up pray that my business would grow.
RIGHT!!??!! - Our parents mean well but they're perspective has not evolved. When I couldn't keep an admin asst (because of my boss) - I realized that this latest generation was not coming close to putting up with the same crap - my perspective evolved and I have different prayers for our kids. 😘

So many good points, so much perspective. "I do as little as possible" and the reframe of generational curses were both really intersting conversation pieces.
I’m glad I found this community and it helped me realize it’s not too late to retire abroad even though I don’t have the money 💰 banked at the moment. 🙏🏽🔥💚
I always enjoy watching Halisi's videos and how she adds encouragement to an older demographic to the FIRE movement. I like how she's transparent with her $2,650/month lifestyle on one social security check. That's very helpful to know. Most of these channels are so secretive and don't help people see how possible it can be. I like how she repeats that you need to live within your means. It's so truthful. I agree with Halisi about meeting people and the first they mention is their job. I was just on vacation last week and that kept on happening and people would get so confused when I wouldn't initially answer with my job and instead discuss hobbies. And the funny thing was was that most of the people I met were retired and yet they still deferred to their job. Thanks for sharing.
WOW - isn't that sad? WE ARE NOT PUT ON EARTH TO JUST WORK!!! Dang! I've seen the same phenomenon - how are your retired and talking about work? 🥹 - Thank you for the encouragement - we're trying to be the folks we needed to see a few years ago. 😉
Watching this replay has me so excited about Portugal again! I had it on my initial list with Mexico but I “heard “ some discouraging info regarding financial solvency in order to get a residency visa. I’ll definitely have to revisit that after listening to this replay as well as picky girl travel. One thing is certain, I will be shifting my home base within the next 12 months so I need to get all of info situated.
Hey Tony, go for it and check it our for yourself. What is true in Miami, is not in Denver, is not in Houston. A subscriber just wrote that McClain TX has the lowest $ requirement. 😉
What Halisi said is so true!!! I lived in Africa and Asia and i had to return to my country (Portugal) in order to be alble to provide my son the chance to grow in a safe, multiculture country and to be able to receive all the love from his white grandparents
@@OurBlackUtopiaI’d only like to add that idea of slavery in west Africa was not what was practiced in the US and also the number of African people who sold Africans to the European is so minute. It was not a widespread practice it can be mentioned for sure but was not a major part of the slave trade….
My favorite UA-camrs! The US loss is Portugal's gain. Halisi and Ric are amazing! Tell Roshida that the are some huge braiding hair stores in downtown Guadalajara. And by the way the Prime Minister is half Indian, not black.
I'm so glad I found this. I have questions regarding employment opportunities in these different places for those of us who aren't retired. I've seen that most expats are entrepreneurs. I'm not.
The key is to take American salaries to a place with a lower cost of living. Portugal, for instance, is not interested in folks coming for jobs that Portuguese need. Fina a 100% remote job or work for a global company that has offices in Europe. 😉
Hi ladies, question, I wAnt to come to Portugal for 2-3 weeks & the hotels are a little expensive, what do you recommend as far as a place to stay that isn’t off the chain?
Hey Sandra, did you come over to OBU and ask this question? Ric and I have been travelling so I'm late with responses. For our scouting trip we did airbnb. For longer stays it tends to be a better deal.
I appreciate this…we will be joining you all soon, black excellence is overrated. For me looks like being the highest version of me..i so appreciate you all ..I got 13 days and Eurowings is looking great ♾️🌺
Why do you blame the USA for your living beyond your means? Why don’t you sell your home in Tx. and cut your ties? Your in a country , Portugal that bought and sold and traded Africans ! Why did you leave Mexico?
I blame the USA because it's sytems are created to incentivize us to live beyond our means and our crappy educational system teaches NOTHING about money management nor investing. They also sold slaves out of Ghana, should that too be off of my list? I've paid the dues to live where ever the heck I wanna live. Ric and I are living our best lives down the street from castles for a fraction of what it costs to live in the US.
This comment is unbelievably myopic. There are two mass shootings today in the good old US of A. No one here is exempt from getting gunned down by a crazy person with access to weapons. And that’s just one of the crises! Watch and learn these women are demonstrating how smart they are they see a situation and they’re changing what they can change. And I’m right behind them. If I had the money together, I’d be out of here tomorrow. For now I continue to watch learn and plan and save. Thanks for all your hard work Stephanie, Roshida, and Halisi!
I'm sorry, but you sound like a person that is jealous. You don't have to be, you too can choose to live your life however you want to and WHERE ever you would like. Did you forget that America was built on slave labor? Oh, and by the way, why should she sell her house in TX when she can probably live off of the rental income or save it for her family to create generational wealth. Envy is not a good look...

Ms. Halisi was dropping some gems throughout this conversation. I wish her and Rick the absolute BEST as they continue to THRIVE in Portugal. Tfs
Hey fdoctor - thank you so much.!
So happy to discover that there is a place for us in other countries. I am late to the party at 73, but I plan to catch up.

😊❤❤ITA!
Fantastic discussion!👏 Halisi is awesome, and from the WSJ to Exodus Summit, people want to hear from her!👂
Hi! Our minister of justice from 2015-2022 was a black woman and our prime minister is from Moçambique and has Indian ascendent... he is not black.
Thank you Mariam - one of our native Portuguese friends told us he was 1/2 black.

Did not know they had a commissary in Lisbon….Good to know Hali’si! Thanks so much
It's at the Embassy - I think most Embassies have them - or at least that's the impression I was given...

Hi Stephanie, Roshida and Halisi👋
Hi Tonicia! 👋🏾
Hey girl
What Halisi said is so true!!!
I lived in Africa and Asia and i had to return to my country (Portugal) in order to be alble to provide my son the chance to grow in a safe, multiculture country and to be able to receive all the love from his white grandparents
How do you listen to the replays of past exodus summit?
Great Sit in- Thanks ladies❤
Looking to make the move to Lisbon or the Algrave in 2024… what areas in Lisbon have you experienced that would Be good for a black female to live?
I love this episode!
Great content ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
What are some of the things you ladies miss from living in the United States
I’m so sick of hearing them bring up Portugal’s involvement in the slave trade. 🙄
Without bringing up the fact that our own people sold us.
@@OurBlackUtopiaI’d only like to add that idea of slavery in west Africa was not what was practiced in the US and also the number of African people who sold Africans to the European is so minute.

Thank you ladies so much for sharing gems!!
Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Love you ladies and I always appreciate the content shared in videos from members of ExodusSummit. ❤

Hey Teddy, a Portuguese person told me one parent was Black Brazilian. 🤷🏽♀ IDK though I see some melanin 🤣
Cant wait to join you guys love Portugal. Visited 3 times!!!
Sounds like you need to just go on and move here. 🤣
Where was your first city visited
I'm so glad I found this. I have questions regarding employment opportunities in these different places for those of us who aren't retired. I've seen that most expats are entrepreneurs. I'm not.

I’m here for info, butI must say Stephanie you have a beautiful voice. You should be a radio or TV personality. I know if off topic😊.
Thank you
Hi ladies!
Hi Maya! 👋🏾
❤awesome interview it’s possible
This was a fantastic interview!!!
Thank you Apryl.!
Hi ladies, question, I wAnt to come to Portugal for 2-3 weeks & the hotels are a little expensive, what do you recommend as far as a place to stay that isn’t off the chain?

👋🏽 Good afternoon Ladies & Friends 😃
Hey Shunna! 👋🏾
I thinking about Portugal, I retire in 2025. I’m going to start learning Portuguese now to prepare. If I begin to prepare I believe I can do it.
❤❤
Good interview, however..Portugal's PM is not black. The bit of color he has is from his father who is Indian (Goa).
Yep - got the memo. I'm going to get on my friend, Rui's case. 🤣 He told us he was 1/2 black. I do know a bit of the Goa colonial history.
How to be a nomad?
I appreciate this…we will be joining you all soon, black excellence is overrated. For me looks like being the highest version of me..i so appreciate you all ..I got 13 days and Eurowings is looking great ♾️🌺
I'm late - we were travelling - so are you now out here in these international streets? 🤣
Why do you blame the USA for your living beyond your means?
Why don’t you sell your home in Tx. and cut your ties?
