This has got to be fate telling me to move to Puerto Rico. I live in NJ now. Born and raised here. My kids were born and raised here too. My dad was born and raised in NYC. Only my mom was born in Puerto Rico, but came to the states at the age of 12. I feel like I lost my culture. Every time I have gone to Puerto Rico on vacation to visit family, I never wanted to come back. I hear a lot of negative things discouraging me from moving there, but then I see beautiful videos like yours and I feel like I 100% belong there. I still have young kids and I would love for them to be brought up knowing their culture. 🇵🇷❤🇵🇷❤
Awesome video, fellas. That numbeo site came in the clutch for me as I'm strongly considering moving outside of NYC to a more relaxing (and much more affordable) place. Pa'lante 🇵🇷!
First off, loved the whole video. Engaging and realistic. Can you make a video about the medical/ hospital systems in PR? Transportation?
I pay $500 for 3/1 in Humacao & we have 3 split ac units. We run 1 constantly except during December to March when it’s cooler. We pay from $100 to $300 for electric & $40 for water. My husband is retired from USPS and we pay about $220 for Triple S insurance. Our copays are much lower here, only $7.50 including specialist. Our prescription cost is usually $2.00.
Good stuff fellas. My wife is from PR and we would like to move there eventually. I have a few years left in my career, then we hope to move back. Cant wait.
Thank you for the inf. I am also from NJ looking to relocate to PR next summer with my wife and son (looking at Palmas del Mar).
I went to El Pescador last week. Food was amazing thanks for referring that spot.
So glad you liked it!
This was very good video. Fun and engaging yet still realistic and down to earth. Thank you. I can't wait to visit PR 😊🇵🇷
I LOVE that Supermax!!!! I always get coffee and some fritura's in the morning, they have the best hot food "all Day" plus they got the Liquor store upstairs.. "Winning" lol
I made the decision officially I’ll be there in 2 years 🥹 so proud of y’all
I’ve been loving your videos about living in PR. I believe they do have a TJMaxx or Marshall’s there, you can find stuff for your pet, like toys, beds, wipes, shampoo.. less expensive than PetCo or PetSmart 🐶
Thanks for the tip!
I was about to comment the same! 😊
Yes. There ir Marshalls, Tjmax... Get out of San Juan and Isla verde (Carolina) as so. Explore other areas of what we call Zona Metropolitana (Bayamón, Cataño, Levittown, Guaynabo, Trujillo Alto) and you will see a city where you find everything... We have everything... Even theatres (Plays)... Universities... Movies, anything. Restauts in Levittown. (Calked The rout of food)... Many more.
In the area of Levittown or Bayamón, is cheapier and is city... Very modern and you find everything. All kind of stores, lot of malls... etc...
By the way... Metropolitan area include Bayamón, Carolina, Guaynabo, Levittown, Cataño, Trujillo Alto... Best... Levittown or Bayamón and they are big cities with places to choose.
You guys are one the cutest couple! 👦🏽❤👦🏻
I just ordered a bag of your coffee.
Thank you so much!
@@PlanetoftheJays I'm gay and Puerto Rican too...Love you guys!
@@PlanetoftheJays I just got the coffee today. It came in a purple box. It smells good. I love it! I got it quick especially the package coming from San Juan.
@@Hello-rl6lp Thank you so much! glad you liked it
NICE VIDD MA BOYYY
Isla Verde, Condado, Ocean Park and Viejo San Juan. They are the best places to walk, eat and have fun, also if you want more you can go to the Placita or T-Mobile District. everything can be walked….
Rather be in P.R then here in the U.S.
Really appreciate your experience about living in PR from what you guys are saying if it’s only about 1200 in San Juan that’s so much cheaper than in Brooklyn where I’m from they could actually run from 1800-2000 not even worth it so small
For sure cheaper than brooklyn
It’s not 1200 it’s so much more. We don’t need non Puerto Ricans moving to pr. It’s causing gentrification and displacement
Consult your veterinarian for home made dog food. We find it's alot more affordable and healthier. Freeze packets so you only need to cook 1-2 per month.
Its the IVU that be f*****g shit up in PR. My mom used to send my brother and I to PR for the summer every year when school was out. And i still go once or twice a year, and it's gotten way crazy expensive
I have 2 questions.
Does your average of 300-350 for utilities include the 100 for fiber internet or is that in addition to the fiber internet?
About how much did yall pay to purchase or finance your car? I know its supposedly way more expensive in PR. What are yall's monthly expenses pertaining to having a vehicle out there (car note, insurance, registration, parking, maintenance)?
Thank you for sharing your experience in PR thus far. It's been a great help.
What a beautiful Puerto Rico
CASA NICE DREAM AIRBB ❤ 0:27
I'm thinking of moving from florida to PR. First rent then buy.... can you recommend a place for a first timer to rent. 2 bedroom in San juan so I dint need a car for 1st year
Did you guys buy your car there or had it shipped?
I keep in my girls ear about moving here. Can't wait to make it happen with our little family. Great vid!
Thank you! Good luck
Don’t move here
Hello.i "am from arroyo Puerto Rico.and it is very costly. I live in New Jersey.and also very costly.😮
All of Puerto Rico has become outrageously expensive. Daily food costs are exorbitant. Average supermarkets have limited healthy affordable choices. It isn't the country my parents knew as children.
I love Econo supermarcado or Costco. Jeeps are Thirsty, while Corollas are King in PR. I love watching your content but definitely take people to the mountains and go swimming in the waterfalls this summer when the beach is too hot. The best gay beaches are in Manati - Mar Chiquita, Pozas de Mujeres and I won't share the best hidden ones but they are there.
We have been wanting to hit up a waterfall!
You are not even pr lol those are not the best “gay”beaches. You tourists know nothing abt our mountains lol
@@a57478 ok
Does your dog shed hair?
Since you guys speak a lot of English. Do you guys try and speak Spanish or do you mainly order everything in English. Just curious.
we speak spanish around the island as much as we can
Yo home
Puerto Rico is so expensive compared to Colombia 😯 the prices literally scared me hshshsh
It can be scary
This is why i buy my dog stuff in almacen chino that bed would cost $7
We know better now 😅
Alcohol and Medicial license and products of Mary Jane is cheaper and Yaucono or your Planeta de Cafe brand is the best ;). 24k is sad fact why more younger generations havent moved back yet but the savers and ex pat Boriquas are all moving back one day so 6 Million off the island would move back if the pay was fair. People make 2/3rd more money in FL on avg living off the island having the same job. Teachers make $8 and police make $13 so difficult. I seen rent in the mountains way more affordable outside the Metro. Get rid of the Jones Act and Vote
Thanks for commenting!
We are retiring back to Humacao in January. Lived in Mayaguez years ago. Love to hang out with you two sometime !
Jodi spoiled as f 😂😂😂
Right! 🤣
Are you Puerto Ricans?
Yes we both have parents born here
Islanders are not usually receptive to homosexual relationships. How has your experience been thus far?
Escogieron él súper mercado más caro dé todo puerto Rico
