• MOVING TO PUERTO RICO ...
• TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU...
I am born and raised in in the United States of Puerto Rican parents my family have all lived in Puerto Rico and have all passed away. I'm 70 years old now I retired from a medical insurance company in Florida at 62 and moved to Puerto Rico because the cost of living is more affordable for me than it would be in the states I found your podcasts by chance and I want to commend you both for your truthfulness and for keeping it real. I have dealt with all the topics you covered I thought I was going insane with the way things have changed and not for the best. Thank you thank you 👍😅❤
Thank you for your comments! Both Puerto Ricans born in US or who move back to PR and or foreigners all experience the same when a certain lifestyle was their normal for many years. But once the transition phase passes it’s a wonderful life overall. Glad to hear you’re back in PR for your retirement and enjoying the island.
I moved to Puerto Rico from Massachusetts. And I have no complaints about living here. In Puerto Rico I like Puerto Rico. And it's not that expensive if you know where to shop.
Thank you for your comment!
🤣😂 the food part is so true! The Chinese food part 😂
Thanks for your comment! Hopefully the cuisines will improve in the near future with quality and authenticity! Blessings to you!
I'm smiling to myself because when you started talking about the weekends, it sounds like South Florida. We are LOUD here. 3 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday. And every neighborhood has a racetrack. 😂 Edited to say that everything you mentioned can be experienced in South Florida times 10. Speeding, crime, overcrowded, and loud, but we don't have mountains or historical sites as old as El Morro. I think for people who haven't lived in similar areas, it might be an adjustment, but it's relative to where you've lived.
Thank you for your comment! Glad to hear your personal experience and what came to mind.
I want to comment on your smile, which is beautiful. So keep on smiling. Life is so beautiful. Good morning
I"m a real estate agent in Puerto Rico. Let me say that what you speaks for Puerto Rico, I know it is a hard truth, but it is a reality. The only thing that I don't like is that in your videos, is that you are experts in the field, and not all the Puerto Ricans are not like you explain. And the thing that you express that we are idiots or crazy, is a common thing in many of your videos.
Governments are a reflection of its people.
Thank you for your comment! We never said the boricuas are idiots or crazy. We shed light on the political matters and had responded to commenters who expressed their hate towards us and stated false statements about us, those individuals do not represent PR or the boricuas as a whole.
By the way…. I was born in Corozal and was raised in Springfield Massachusetts, but also lived NJ, NY, FL, I retired and moved back to PR a year and a half ago and I’m very happy I made the move. My goods didn’t exactly follow me. My goods just got here three days ago. Nevertheless, I’m happy and the Lord has blessed me. That’s why I always say that miserable people are miserable because they don’t know the Lord at all or how they should.
Thank you for your comment! Yea have our Heavenly Abba YHWH is the key to living a life blessed and filled with contentment, unfortunately many in the faith and not get affected heavily by such external factors. Glad to hear you are doing your part in whatever way that may be, we pray those you encounter and are near experience Ruach YHWH so their hearts be softened.
Wow, u are also talking about the weekend. We also get alot of people here. And alot of noise.
Thank you for your comment!
What about the people that want to move to Puerto Rico that are retired seniors. Can you please bring up a video about will seniors make it alright to move to Puerto Rico?
Thank you for your comment! We can definitely share about retirement in the coming videos!
@@TheBritoFamily Thank you
22:09 you’ll find that in the US as well. It’s very common thing. It seems your judgment it’s a bit exaggerated. Not that those things happen in PR, it does, but it happens all over, FL, NY, DC, VA, NJ, DR, etc.
Thank you for your comment!
Great video! The noise in general can be a lot here but it’s okay.
Thank you for your comment! We apologize for the audio we will sort that out!
Im confuse, u guys said, is no good. But you guys are still moving there..im little confuse.
Thank you for your comment! We’ve lived there and have plans to move there again. The issues we discuss doesn’t reflect on our thoughts about our community or the island, it’s a direct discussion on the issues and setbacks affecting the public due to corruption in politics.
Even when many all the things you mention are true, it feels like others are too extreme. All are your point of view.
You have to remember that when you go to other countries you have to respect their culture and the ways, as you like to respect yours even when others may find it ridiculous and stupid.
I'll will be there in July for a month if I like it I may stay if I meet good people over there sometimes just getting out of a city is cool with the music it's the young kids expressing themselves like I did when I was young loll
That's ok chicken rice and beans and hot sauce lolllo
Everything here is sprayed with Monsanto but most of those products are shipped out to other places because PRicans can’t afford the prices of products sold here because labor is so high here as opposed to third world countries
Thank you for your comment! This is true. We worked in the agricultural space in PR and was working on initiatives to help reintroduce to the youth about regenerative farming to help support themselves and general health and well-being as that has also gone downhill. Most foods are exported and imported from countries a far which are extremely low quality.
Hello again. Yes! It's so true, so many talented medicos are leaving the Island, there is definitely a shortage, and it's true that there is concern among health professionals that many of the young graduates do leave in search of opportunity. A lot of what you mentioned about the police is true; still, as you know and also commented, many of the police are devoted servants. I too have family members and close friends on the Island that have served the public trust, or that still serve. People commenting may like to suggest that the police suck, but good and bad police can be found anywhere you go in the world. Paz
Thank you for your comment! We appreciate you sharing your personal experience and or knowledge. Please continue supporting! YHWH bless you and your family!
The idea of new cars is that the mentality of people is that they need to have a better car that can withstand the horrible roads as opposed to having a crappy car that will get stuck in the middle of the highway and it will take them three days to get home. I’m finding that the mentality of puertorriqueños is very different from what I expected. I know a ton of PRs in the states and the ones that have been “out there” for some time have a different mentality. The newer ones are still adapting. I didn’t understand that till I moved back to the island.
Thank you for your comment! The cultural difference of PR born and living in the mainland is definitely not a representation of the ones in PR. Completely different for sure.
It's based on fact. You have to buy a new car. Have you seen the way they drive? My car is 5 years and I take care of it. I also don't drive like i'm a Nascar participant. It will last me a long time but if I have to get another, in the next 10 years or more, it will be new one again. A used car is a waste of money here unless you buy it from someone like me. And since they drive so recklessly, they always have to keep purchasing new cars.
Florida has become one of the highest priced states. The median home is about $400,000
Thank you for your comment!
Private beaches aren’t supposed to exist
Thank you for your comment!
Maybe..
But now private beaches do exist for all the millionaires moving to the island from USA.
Puerto Rico is a beautiful island, but unfortunately there are lots of things that need fixing. This is also true of many other places in the states . The thing is, eventually, they get kind of hipnotized and get to accept all that needs fixing as normal or feel helpless. I have lived in the island and I know what I'm talking about. Bottom line, if you are willing to deal with these issues, you'll be fine. If not, then maybe you should not move to the island. And I truly believe that Puerto Rico will never become a state of the United States. That's the way it goes.
Thank you for your comments!
There are people that are living in the island that had cancer and all type of diseases and they are cured because they cleanse and eat right. No preservatives. You can live anywhere free of pesticides. If it's about the health system. I think mostly has to do with the person itself. Overall you do what you want with your body but to blame the system. Nana
Sure many politicians are corrupt in many states but in a lot of places you can public infrastructure being consistently built, improved and maintained but, it sounds like that is not the case in PR.
I guess you guys changed my mind to retire in puerto Rico if it is that bad I’ll stay in NY.
I’m Puerto Rican born and raised in NYC my mom and dad told me growing up never go to Puerto Rico they are from Isabella so I never went I”m a adult now mom and dad are gone I have Puerto Rican friends that tell me don’t go there lol
Diablo Que triste, Pue dale con la gente tuya allá fuera. Aquí es la que hay 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Thank you for your comment! We encourage you to visit and experience where your family came from, it’s a beautiful gift to receive. Having awareness of the realities will prepare you mentally and physically as you journey there!
@@TheBritoFamily I completely agree with you and have an awareness and understanding of the downside of any location you go to. With that being said, I comprehend, what you both said in the last couple of videos that I have seen but at the same time, certain things are completely your own opinion, which you have every right to share. I’m sorry that for you guys and maybe I can understand because of your religious point of view as well that maybe some things culturally bother you whereas for me, it does not. But it’s just having a video where people are already judging the island without even visiting Is what gets me a bit frustrated. I hope you understand my point when I say that, I was born and raised in PR and I’m very patriotic just like many Americans are therefore, when I was forced to go to the mainland specifically New Jersey as a child I knew I had to work get my degree and be financially secure for me to go back home. Now, many of our people Sadly, or not prepared financially, but I did not want to be the small majority of those saying it’s only for the rich white Americans to enjoy PR. 2021 after graduating and after getting a remote job like you said in the previous videos if anyone can make a salary that they would make in the States, then sure Puerto Rico is good and I completely agree because I fall into that category. But at the same time just like you, I have many family members who are doctors nurses lawyers and I can’t speak for your family but for my family which is the reason why I came back home is that the majority of my family still lives on the island and they live a very good middle-class lifestyle. Soy de Adjuntas & apart from family members, I know many people, especially the young people that are getting back into farming whether they’re farming, coffee or plantains I see the positive in Puerto Rico as well. I see a lot of young people into agriculture creating their home into an Airbnb, or starting a local coffee, business shop, or restaurant. That’s all I have to say and I hope you understand, and maybe my mindset is more positive side because I was able to travel to Peru, Panama, RD, and even the state of Hawaii. But by no means, is there any animosity towards you two, a bit of frustration, yes. But I really do hope you’re able to see the positive and bring the positive. Salud y bendiciones desde 100x35
@@anthonyir3408 thank you for sharing your experience and background. Not sure which videos you viewed but we are boricua, our families still thriving in the island and a portion chose to live and establish their homes elsewhere than in PR. We have cousins who are in grade school, high school and university, many issues the next generations are having to deal with and pave their way due to lack support and or opportunity. As you know the education system is limited and not as diverse in PR and there’s a portion of our community who as fed up with such issues or will gladly move back regardless. For ourselves we don’t mind these issues but since our business serves the community we heard stories and witnessed the conditions many live or deal with, and it’s heartbreaking. We have plans to move back and continue the work, but we just all need to pray the next generations have hope and see the potential in PR and don’t allow the same pattern to continue. Otherwise the island will truly become like other places where the locals are few and the expats are many. Many viewers had thoughts on the comparison to other countries, we focused only on PR as many expats looking to move have certain expectations then leave due to the inability to adjust or adapt especially if they have children. Have a blessed rest of your week ahead and thank you for your support. We will be sharing reasons to move to PR in the near future.
@@TheBritoFamily Appreciate you taking the time to respond, like I said you guys have every right to share your thoughts and what not. Hope you two had a good weekend and have a great week coming as well. Take care
Here in PR if you look like you have money you will be considered a drug dealer, a thief, or who knows what else. So I keep myself very low key. Depending on the company I keep.
Thank you for your comment! Definitely the most with value do not boast on their riches and wealth.
Gas here is practically $4.00/gallon. It’s $0.98/liter.
Thank you for your comment!
WOW. What a nonsense comment. There are people that have graduated from the worst college and have had more success than someone that graduated from one of the top colleges. So with that said. Yes, the education in PR is not all that great but we do have people that have graduated from here and have gone out to make an amazing career for themselves. I’m sure they will eventually come back to retire like I did.
Thank you for your comment! Yes thankfully more alternative career paths are being accepted to equip the youth in PR, but programs and support is limited hence the search for opportunities and alternatives overseas, this is if the family can afford it.
It’s all about the mentality every individual has. 🤷♀️
Thank you for your comment!
They should make it all electronic here also.
Thank. You for your comment!
I agree that Americans would find it hard to adjust to Puerto Rico. The locals don't need the judgment.
Great videos... you are amazing
Thank you for your comment! You are amazing too!
Hey now 👋🏾 I just moved to PR 4 years ago had to retire early cause of fiscal issues and yes you guys are saying it like it is really thou 🤘🏾😎 and like you were saying baut the cops not getting enough pay and also the teachers as well cause they say of money issues in the government it's really fd up yo now theirs a very good solution to this problem that a lot of states are on board with is legalizing marijuana to generate lots of funds and they still can put in their pockets instead of federal funds on some RS but there's a very religious sector that won't allow it I do believe so cause lots of people here still think like back in da day for real and it's wrong for them to think like that but they allow alcohol which kills more people then weed ever or never has really thou 🤘🏾😎 legalize it and there will so much money for all wake up PR time to move up in this world wepa carajo coño 😅😅😂😂 peace out y'all
Area metro yes.But inside the island is better
There is everything in Puerto Rico every where. Is just the pay.
Thank you for your comment!
Puerto Rico can be self sustained but no one wants to work the fields. Farmers actually have to be on a work program to bring in laborers from Guatemala, México and El Salvador. That’s why the products here are so high priced.
Thank you for your comment. Yes that’s exactly it, there is massive potential in PR and unfortunately the mentality has shifted to dependency and worldly treasures, the eyes have fastened elsewhere.
Well i share with pastor is God is not there with me, i dont go. If God send you then you obedient to Him. He watch over us. About Health insurance, if u retired then your insurance cover you. Dont stress. God bless..
Thank you for your comment! That’s great you live your life according to YHWH’s will and plan for your life. With Him all things are possible and will prosper. YHWH bless you!
@TheBritoFamily when people walk with God, the impossible becomes possible.. good morning. And your welcome.. maybe one day we meet.. I believe God has a plan for me in PR..
@@er5650 The seed was planted inside of you, so most surely the desire or vision to move to PR will come to pass! We had left PR but we know what we started there will continue and it’s just a matter of time. Enjoy the seasons and journey as you await that time!
Great content! But i'd like to suggest you plan better what to say instead of interupt yourselfs everytime.
Thank you for your comment!
The person commenting on your accent doesn’t even deserve a response because I’m sure they only knows one language and is turning green with envy that you can speak two.
Thank you for your comment and support!
Dont come to PR...
Keep Puerto Rico and our people out ya mouth !!!
Thank you for your comment!
Ustedes an cojodo mania con desprestijiar a Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. No esta bien ok! De donde ustedes son?? Nadie esta interesado en sus comentarios negativos. Hay sitios muchos peores que Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Rico. Vallasen de PR QUE A NOSOTROS NO NOS INTERESA A NADIE
Si vas a vivir a otro país harías lo mismo. Criticarías lo q encuentras ineficiente y ridiculo. Eso no es desprestigio; es ser objectivo.
@@creative77marketing7 no seas tan curci por que si lo estas criticando ok coje otro oficio por que siempre va ver alguien que no les guste sus comentarios ok bayansen para la Florida o Tennessee..
@@jesusfigueroa1149No había oído esa palabra cursi desde hacen uffff como 4 décadas. Nice!
Madre Mia. Mi sobrino de un año habla mejor español que eso.
Thank you for your comments!
The only that criticize .....NOTHING UPTIMIST,, NEGATISIM ECT.
Thank you for your comment! Not criticism rather shedding light to help people understand the realities of which many are being blind to and thankfully millions or boricuas are aware of, acknowledge and agree on.
