We Live Better In Costa Rica Than We Did In The US - Here’s How Much It Costs
She stopped her chemo half way through, left the US medical system, and is now cancer free. Imagine that!
Yeah, America makes you sick.. figuratively and literally.
Exactly!
What cain is procedure when someone want to mobe from eirope to costa rica?
Even one season, couple months or 2 years?
A similar thing happened to a Greek man named Stamatis Moraitis! He came to the US and spent the majority of his adult life here and raised a family. He was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer at age 66 and was only given months to live. He decided to move back to Ikaria, Greece with his wife. He reconnected with old friends and all, thinking he was going to die soon. He lived another 30+ years! 😳
That's because cancer is a big business in the U.S. Big pharma does not intend to heal you, just keep making money.
Do people realize how stressful it is to live in the U.S? And yet as the most powerful country on earth like most of us claim the U.S is not even in top 10 countries where people live comfortably and happy.
I've lived in 6 countries and US was the worst out of all of them. the quality of life sucks..
It's not stressful if you are not spending what you do not have. I see people working 3 jobs because they want to have a big house or flashy cars instead of taking the bus or walking. The biggest issue is not incomes but lack of financial knowledge and living within one's means
_Yes. I'm American citizen who left the US about 9 years ago. I touchdown to renew documents, for weddings, funerals, baby showers and to check on my rental properties in person._
I know, right. Living here is very stressful!
I am a US immigrant. I love it here, i find it cheap and the money is amazing. I live in Houston.
The supportive little claps when she said she was cancer FREE ❤😭 they are such a sweet family
I noticed that too... it was so sweet 🥹💖✨
Thank you!!
@@TheAngelsGirl omg it's you on the video!! ✨💖 your family is so sweet. And by the way, your Spanish is really impressive. Did you learn it all during your time in Costa Rica or had learned it in the US? You even sound Latina 💃 Congrats so much on your health getting better and your sweet family. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷🌴
@@kittymogulco I learned it before I came. I studied in high school and college.
I teared up at that exact part 🥹
Okay, this is another sign that we need to get tf out of this country tbh. I wanna be HAPPY, not stressed
Don't let the door hit ya ...
@@THE-X-ForceOnce the orange conman is re-elected, and Project 2025 is implemented, you will want to leave. For you, I would suggest father Russia. Fool
@@THE-X-ForceYou can go down with the rest of the population.
Then go do it.
we'd trade you laazy blacks for migrants any day
i met Kima and Nicholas in Costa Rica at a local coffee shop. . they told us their story and have remained friends since then. they are an amazing couple with beautiful children and such a great heart. They are salsa dancers too...
Welcome to the country 🇨🇷 - We're so grateful hearing people talking nice about us and our country ❤
Costa Rica 🇨🇷 has been the most beautiful country I've visited.
I hear nothing but great things about Costa Rica. I cannot wait to visit. ❤
I would love to visit your beautiful country soon ❤️🇨🇷
I want to come live and teach English!
BABY! Living out of the States has changed my life! DO IT Y’ALL!!!
where did you move too
Where do you Live now?
So true! Been gone since 2012 and NOT looking back!
where do you live now?@@glb_tvlr
What country?
This was a beautfiully made segment. I am so glad to hear you are healthy. I lived in CR for 5 years, it changed my life forever. They are some of the kindest people, it is the most beautiful place ive ever been. I lived in NYC, it cured my mental health issues, my weight issues. You are so active in Costa Rica. I also was living on a limited income, and eating all that fresh food and going to the beach everyday lowered my stress level and made me so happy
Yes!!! Pura Vida!
It sounds amazing. New Zealand has such high rent, petrol and food costs that buying basic items of fruit is off the table for most people. I used to put raspberries on my porridge 10 years ago, but that's unaffordable now. It must be amazing to live somewhere where fresh food is affordable.
Random question: are there a lot of bugs and spiders in Costa Rica?
@@ericar.6370yes.
Yes! But u get used to them. Its just part of life there@@ericar.6370
The fact that her body and health improved away from the US is evidence that life sucks here. Whether it's the food or environment, this country keeps us all sick.
Yes, it's also a mindset thing. People consume junk content online all day and watching Tv. They don't consume anything inspirational or beautiful or appreciate art. That keeps people equally unhealthy. Junk in, junk out.

It's such a blessing to have a partner that actually wants to make this type of move. Even the best of couples are not always on the same wave-length when it comes to these types of major life changes. May this couple/family continue to grow in love and thrive wherever they go!
My thoughts exactly 🥹❤️
Real Talk Truth Teller Facts
I want to move abroad perhaps CR and my husband is stagnant miserable in her job, complains daily including all day today as I type this
My mother and I want to visit CR in 2024 in 1-2 months
We want to see what’s better renting or buying or building there
She’s from Jamaica and would love to live like this again and die in an environment like this while seeing her daughter happy and healthy instead of worried and stressed daily
This gets me so emotional because everyday I ask myself why do I go to a job I hate just to keep a roof over my head, surely this is not the American dream.
Forget about "the American Dream". It no longer exists, if it ever really did. Imo (and others smarter than me) it was just a tool for promoting consumerism and debt. Tap into fulfilling your purpose in life. Here's to hoping you find your true "glory". 🙏🏾 💕
☝🏾
America is TOO EXPENSIVE 😢
Yes, it is! It seems that property prices really jumped after the government imposed the shutdown. Plus, the federal reserve has been playing around with economy by raising the interest rates.
Americans moving to these countries are doing the same for the locals.
@@shaheev8011 What the fed did reduced inflation.
It can be, depending on where you live.
And trashy.
i retired from the army after 21 years and moved back to my contry el salvador in 2021. im more than happy here
Thank you for your service
I’m in tears! Tears of joy for them…how beautiful.
I’m Canadian and have NEVER travelled anywhere in my life, but I knew in my heart I wanted to be somewhere by the ocean, warm climate, laid back life…by some Divine intervention, some property in Costa Rica fell into my lap and I’m getting ready to build a home there in the coming years…that is where I will be retiring and spending most of my time. Can’t wait!!!
I too am a cancer survivor (stage 3), and I truly believe the fresh air, nature, good healthy food is a natural cure for diseases… my body took a beating from radiation and chemo and I am still not myself. It will take a lot of time for the damage to recover…I’m thankful I’m cancer-free now, but I NEED to be in Costa Rica, for my health’s sake.
God bless everyone, we all deserve joy in our lives. ❤
I'm in joyful and happy tears too!! 💖💞💖
My wife is from Costa Rica and we live in Texas. We got married during COVID and have been married 3 years now. She is there in San Jose and I will be joining her in 4 days for my first trip to Central America and I can hardly wait. The only thing keeping me in this country are my children from a previous relationship but, my wife and I are already planning our escape. If I could take my sons I'd be on the next flight smokin'!
Good for you! My husband is from the DR and I’m honestly thinking the same. I need more peace and happiness.
Start setting up things from now so when your children are grown relocating will be smoother and also you can have property to leave to them or somewhere they can go to outside of the country
@@biscaynesupercars I'm boarding the plane now!🙏
@@terenceharris9432 nice. Safe travels
Cancer free God is good my cuz moving there march 2024 who know I might follow/ blessings moving forward to us all
"Medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is stress-related."
The book “The Myth of Normal” by Dr Gabor Mate on this exactly topic is so validating.
I saw a documentary on blue zones a few years back. One guy they interviewed was from a zone in Italy, moved to the US to work, and got diagnosed with cancer in his 60's. He decided to move back home to die but ended up living into his 90s. There is probably something to the fresh food, clean environment, community & low stress.
@@aw1078I have to agree with that whole heartedly! I’d like to see that documentary. That’s so awesome for him!
@@sls4170 Unfortunately I don’t recall the name of that doc but I saw it here on YT.
@@sls4170it’s on Netflix
My sister! I am from Houston and had breast cancer TWICE! So happy to see her thriving!!! Praise the Lord 🙌🏾🙏🏾💕
This is a beautiful video! Im in tears! Congrats on being cancer free!
We turned on the tv and my husband always goes to UA-cam first. This was the 2nd video on the list and I said “click on that one”. My husband looks and instantly says “I know her!” He said you all went to school together. His name is Bryan Taylor
Lol that is so awesome I hope she sees your comment
Such lovely people. So glad they are happy in their new life. Makes me happy.
She is 100% about the being treated like a human in CR. I felt so enamored by how genuinely beautiful everything was and how well I was treated. I told my husband that I’d love to live there.
No matter where you go their will be somone that makes you feel good or bad, jump over the bad ones. Dont act llike some victim.
@@wisdoma4860 There are good and bad people everywhere. No one debated that. I’m not a victim, I’m a victor. I overcame cancer so I have nothing but joy! 😊 The energy in CR is quite unlike any other place I have visited. It’s an indescribable feeling. I hope you have the absolute best life. God bless you. ❤️
I love this! We are not meant to live stressful lives. Good for them taking the leap. There’s a beautiful world out there and we should experience as much of it as possible.

i live off 600 dollars a month in Bogota, Colombia. Best Decision in my life to move to Colombia in 2013. 11 years in and no regrets! Everytime i visit the USA it gets stranger! just my opinion! Cheers

How do you make good income?
@@MillZ56 online, english coach.
4:08 Wise woman !! She listened to her body...Her intuition. I love that .
It is amazing what the right environment will do for your health.
That applies to
People, plants, animals, food/farmers ☝🏾
she became cancer free when she moved to costa rica, lady and gents, you should try visiting costa rica, the food and air is totally different.
Everything they have said is all true. We bought a house in 2020, 5 minute walk to the beach. I, too, battled with breast cancer 2 weeks after my son was born. Stress can bring back the cancer, that’s one of the reasons why we needed a place away from the states. There is a sense of peace and relaxation when we go there. We just got temporary residency and now we are looking to start a cafe right across from the Liberia airport, open late 2024. Come in and visit us if you all fly into Liberia.
Hi! We usually prefer to fly into Liberia. I will definitely stop into your café when its open. What is the name of your café?
@@TheAngelsGirlHi. So good to hear from you. The cafe will be called The Landing Cafe, it’s right next to the gas station at the Solarium. We should break ground next few months. Yes, please come in and say hi to us. We should defiantly keep in touch.
What did you pay for that house, and what is the sq ft.?
No answer .. I wish I could say I was shocked.
@@THE-X-Forcewe didn’t purchase this house, as we don’t plan on living on Nicoya long term. I am unsure of the square footage as that is not important to me. I am being inundated with messages and questions, so I won’t be able to see or answer them all. Thank you for understanding.
I love this episode; it was focused more on the non-financial side, I think. And I teared a little to hear about her sister who passed and she couldn't go be with her for the last time. So sad esp since her sister was with her during her cancer journey. Am so happy you're cancer-free and I hope your lovely family will continue to thrive in that beautiful place. 🌞
Thank you so much!
I traveled to Costa Rica in 2016 and I agree, the people are so incredibly kind and welcoming, and me and my friends felt safe there. I'm not surprised they decided to move there.
My wife and I both experience lactose intolerance in the states but when we go anywhere else in the world we are completely fine. There’s something in the states that just make us exhausted and sick.
I went to CR once and it was the only place and time I wasn't negatively reminded that I was black. In fact I didn't sense any racism during my stay. Zero. Very peaceful country in general.
I’m not surprised. In Costa Rica we are not as obsessed with labels and there is a lot more mixing… most of us have some European, some Amerindian and some African in our genes, so we’re not so divided in distinct groups.
One of the best pieces I"ve seen.
This family integrated rather than expecting their new host country to conform to their American ideals. Kudos to these wonderful people!
I was in CR for a month in 2022, and my (bad) arthritis felt non-existent, even for many months to follow. My cousin ( a native) said it's the lack of inflammation in my body due to the food and the environment. I'm trying to get dual citizenship since my father was a Jamaican Costa Rican. ENJOY that beautiful country.
I agree so much with what she said!!! Living in the US I feel so much heavier energetically. I lived in Switzerland for 3 years and although I was more alone I felt energetically lighter. I am really glad to see she and her family are doing so much better. Love this video!
That’s why we chose to retire from California to Belize six years ago! Huge difference in a positive way. 🌞🌴🌺🐬⛵️
I visited Costa Rica a few years ago and the people treated me like I was a movie star. I'm stuck in Houston for now because immigration is backlogged. I can't wait to escape this place because I now have anxiety and I never had this before...😢😢
No they just are normal kind people whereas americans are mean and unfriendly, that why u felt normal ppl treating u like movie star, you never knew what it was like to talk to normal healthy ppl
My daughter went to Costa Rica last year and loved it!!! This video has convinced me that this is the place to retire " comfortably." Are you with me daughter dear???
CR is not cheap. I just spent 1-month there and spent probably $600 on groceries. Everything was pricey and imported in the local supermarket. It's getting expensive for locals as well and that's when crime goes up. Guess who will the locals blame and target when prices get too high?
@@Originalman144 thanks for the info. I had better check it out for myself.
I'm seeing more and more black ppl moving out the states! I am inspired!
What timing! Was just talking to my wife about moving back to Costa Rica. Such a wonderful country!
I think it would be a great opportunity for you both. I say GO FOR IT!!!
There's is soooo much to unpack here. Especially that direct connection between cancer, mindset and lifestyle. DEEP. Much love to this family!!❤
This is so amazing!!! Chemo killed my oldest son after just one round! 3/11/2023. From a cancer I was told. That was completely ans easily curable! So glad she listened to her body and stopped and moved to a better place for her physical and mental health
❤❤😢
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm so sorry. Chemo is to be avoided at all cost. Natural healing is the way.
My condolences for your loss 💐
Chemo kills not the cancer. 😢
I’m happy to see them thriving and happy! It’s wonderful that they took a risk and feel welcomed, valued, and accepted in their new community 😊
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!…
She’s OLIVIA SULLIVAN FINANCIALS
Getting Olivia Sullivan to help me really helped me clear all my debts. I started with what I have left and it's been the best decision I ever made
Your right, people make money even when the market is down. I started investing recently and realised there's a secret to constant wins .
I thank GOD that you're Cancer free/you've found a place where you can thrive.
I migrated to the US but rn I’m building my house back home. This country ain’t it outside of providing good work opportunities.
Omg! Congratulations on kicking Cancer’s butt! I was at a work event last night and Costa Rica came up heavily as a place to live that was black friendly. Synchronicity!❤
The healthcare in the US can cripple you financially, it’s insane how much it costs. Even with the massively overpriced insurance you still pay so much out of pocket
I am a native of Austin TX. The stress of keeping up with inflation is very stressful. My husband and I have discussed moving to another country. My husband is a retired county worker and a Veteran but still has to work to keep up with inflation and I work Krazy OT. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I once lived in Austin but in Dallas now. I can totally agree.
Had a coworker move here during the Pandemic too.
I have visted Costa Rica, and would 100% move there.
Im not a naturopathic person, and would never move for that reason, but Costa Rica has amazing food, people, life, things to do, and its close to a lot of other amazing countries.
This is the definition of a power couple and true love. What a sweet family.
I've been saying I'll retire to Costa Rica for 7 years now. I might move sooner. I truly believe living in the Blue Zone cured her. ❤🎉
You americans always coming to my country giving nothing but problems and a migrant crisis, BUILD THE WALL
Can you elaborate on what the “blue zone” is?
Her mindset and her believing and her faith healed her. People get cured in other places too.
No more gringo bums please
I left the U.S. 2 1/2 years ago and I have not looked back! I was supposed to go to Thailand first but couldn't because of covid, so I went to Mexico first with the intention of only staying for like 6 months until Thailand eased their restrictions. Well I;m still here but on my way to Thailand soon. Don't believe it when they tell you that the U.S. is THE best place to be. It's not. It doesn't mean that I hate the U.S. I don't. I was born and raised there as was my entire family, BUT....I will say that the people of Mexico have been very kind to me and I feel like a human being first instead of having a label placed on my skin color first. Mexico is part of my future and I'm pretty sure Thailand will be too. Sad to say, but the only time that I will go back to the U.S. is to visit friends and family, but never to live. (unless through some tragic and twisted fate, I'm FORCED to..lol). I feel happier and safer outside of the U.S.!
A beautiful couple with beautiful children, living a beautiful life. Thank you for sharing your story❤
They are living my dream! We are split between Costa Rica, El Salvador, & Belize. I thought Costa Rica was more expensive I’ll have to check out the area they were in.
It is I am a Costarican and yes it is more expensive than those 2 countries
It is more expensive but it is possible to not spend a fortune. I think there is something for everyone.
It's is more expensive, but if you have around 2,000 it will be enough. If you can get accustomed to living like a local, you might not even need that much.
Haven’t been to Costa Rica but have been to both El Salvador and Belize. Both are beautiful, locals are friendly, and it is extremely easy to busy whatever you want in either country.
What an amazing testimony!!
My childhood friend and I are planning to move to CR.
I retired last year and she retires this year.
We visited CR 2x last year. We stayed 25 days the first time & 2 weeks the second time.
I live in NYC, the concrete jungle. I need the CR jungle loaded with nature.😊
Beautiful beaches with natural pools! Fresh food & fruits!!
Flip flops and sarongs every day!!
Been in CR 20 years. It's hard to live on 30k a year here. They are also living in a pretty boring town, I'm guessing no car and a very basic house. Good for them, but I don't think most people would want to live this simply.
They rent a three bedroom for 628 a month including utilities. Where I live here in Florida it's impossible to find something that cheap lol. Kudos to them for making their move and wish them many more years of happiness
Yes, but they are spending $1200 month on groceries. Food in CR is very expensive unless you eat rice and beans everyday. $1200 a month in groceries in Florida would feed a family of 10 people. Their rent went down but their grocery bill likely doubled. $3000 a month in a lousy town in Costa Rica is not that great.
this couple really stuck it out together through a lot of trials and tribulations, bless
I was in Costa Rica in late 2022 , and the energy from the people there were so positive. The nicest people I've come accross thus far. I love Costa Rican people! And I didn't feel discriminated against cause I was a black man.
I'm next! I feel like all I'm doing is living to work and pay bills. There's no culture in the US.
The culture is work to live.
Here we work to pay bills.
Also is known for the Bk=Lyle Zones lifestyle- people live longer and healthier. Many organic farm.
"No culture in the US" .. ?
ok well if you can't find culture here then good lucking finding it anywhere on Earth.
Have a nice trip .. you will not be missed.
@@sarala1janYES! SO RIGHT! Only in America do people have to work to pay their bills! Crazy! Let's all get outta here! .. lmao 🤡
Wow! This makes me think, I am a 8 year cancer survivor and love the idea of clean air, the food etc. thanks for sharing!
After traveling to Costa Rica...i am seriously considering retiring there.
This has always been my dream place to live. I just want a simple life
They made the best decision of their lives. Happy for them.
To achieve the "American Dream" takes a lot more out of us while seemingly less and less achievable. The rat race is making us collectively stressed and unhealthy. Plus we have the issues of astronomical healthcare, housing, and childcare, along with gun violence. As a mother of 2, it's in the back of my mind every time my children and I leave the house. That wouldn't be an issue in a place like Costa Rica. I commend them for taking the leap. My family and I aim to do the same around 2027, when my kids are a bit older.
I saw them on the Tamaron Hall Show. This is so inspiring 😍 Congratulations on being cancer free. Many more blessings to you and your family 💐🤗
It’s great that you guys choose our country for living and that you now have no cancer. Good luck in our country, best wishes for you both. Pura vida!
Glad you found your peace, health, & happiness.
Costa Rica is my favorite place in the world. This video was just the kick in the plans to develop a 2 year plan to permanently move there. It is better for my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
I hope this Beautiful Family is enjoying their new Home and Life in Costa Rica. Such a beautiful Central American nation.
Congrats on being in remission. That's a huge blessing.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!
Im sorry for the loss of your sister and not being able to get back.
I hope you all continue to thrive in Costa Rica!
❤Excellent story and well done. My wife and I moved to Costa Rica in January. I absolutely resonate with their testimony!!
Please share the details. Currently a 38 year old, single mother looking for an escape of the hustle and bustle
What a beautiful, lovely family. Amazing people. So happy to see such a wonderful family, thriving! My niece and her toddler recently moved there and she is so happy!
I'm leaving the U.S. in May. Looking forward to it.
Beautiful story, I love hubby clapped when his wife said I am cancer free. Love it
We live in Houston Texas and feel that way too.
My Aunt lives in Costa Rica and loves it there!
My half brother and sister mom is Costa Rican! They love visiting they have family there and land that’s already ready for them when they are ready! I definitely want t move out the country! I was thinking Canada lol but Costa Rica sounds so much better!!!
You don't know how delicious food is until you eat outside the United States. Food in America is definitely chemical
Good for them. It’s good to just see the options available to ppl. One life to live.
Wow so nice to hear from this family. I would love to live in or at least visit Costa Rica someday. Even though i didn’t visit it ik it’s a beautiful country. Bless this family.🇨🇷❤️
Very inspirational video. I hope she stays cancer free and my condolences, rest in peace to her sister! 💯👊🏾
They're from my hometown amazing people ❤
Great story, thank you for sharing! I hope the family sees all the comments being written. Wish them a long positive life and prosperity! Gee...this vid made my morning! Again, thank you!
I just came back from CR 4/23/24 and have been looking for a home in the mountains. I love your story! Pura Vida!!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! I had a good friend who passed away from cancer. She was doing well when she stopped chemo, but when she decided to start back there was a change.
More Americans are taking risk to leave the US.
I'd say the real risk is cutting their life short for the "fear of losing" something they might not even have in the first place 🤫 Perception is everything...
@@kittymogulco Last sentence is on point. Healthcare and cost of living, sure. But if you don't fix yourself and your personal problems when you're here the problems won't just magically go away in another country.
@@Xiosoranox True that 👍
This is a very beautiful story & glad they’re happy. Freedom must be an amazing story, especially freedom from cancer.. that’s amazing.
So happy for people who went through so many obstacles to find them finally in a good state ❤
What a wonderful family, so resilient and willing to do whatever it takes for health and happiness - kudos! And so wonderful to see your healing journey! ❤
Every Black American needs a home outside the United States. Right now, the dollar favors you. Do it before the dollar loses some of its vslue.
I can totally understand your reason for leaving the United States
This is how I felt in Santorini.. being out of this country is healing for us I really believe.
this segment is beautiful, but I would love more details regarding the medical aspects of things.
my niece and her hubby wanted kids, but not in amerikkka. they moved to costa rica had a baby and are living much less stress. that said moving to another country where u don't speak the language is rough, so prepare
He lost me after he said snakes 🐍
Does this couple have a UA-cam channel. Although I may never travel to Costa Rica I would love to follow their Journey.
This was excellent!!! I got some great information, that my family and I are really in need of! Costa Rica seems super appealing!
You guys made the right decision. The US is only getting worse.
Beautiful and inspiring story! Good luck to you Kema, Nick, and your children on your life-exploring journey.
I can't adequately express how much I loved this segment.... It's beautiful! I'm so happy for this family. It's shameful that the US, with, all its resources, potential and amazing people, won't create a better quality of life for citizens. Profit is king at the expense of all else.
Wow... typing into UA-cam search.. how to move to Costa Rica .. and the first video I find is this... Im also from Houston
