Hey, I'm a Hispanic person who moved from South America to the US about 7 years ago.

I make 90k/year, work remotely, have health insurance, a house I bought and fully paid for, and I want to move out.

Let me repeat that, I make 90k/year which most people consider a "decent" salary for my demographic and I want to move out... I also follow a frugal lifestyle. You would think I would have enough to cover a health emergency, and it seems like I could but the reality is very, very different... and dark and fucked up.

If you think your country is corrupted, you have seen nothing.

Imagine a place where everything "seems" perfect but when you dig into all the systems that allow for this to happen, you find a big, big, problem... It is poverty glorified.

The government/people don't want to recognize it. Especially those who haven't left the US all their life. (They don't want to even think why they haven't had the opportunity before)
There's a lot of grieving work to do in this place... and I feel like there's going to be a lot of upcoming violence and war in the near future (5-10 years).

This place is unsustainable, people's life is unsustainable, and shit's going to get uglier.

There's even more to consider than just health insurance.
I'm just telling you this because I wish someone has told me.
When I arrived here in 2014, I was homeless. No home, no car, nothing.

I am in the position I am today because I happened to get an affordable college education in my country of origin. I have an obvious advantage in that sense... also, I've been through some shit so I am very skilled to survive and make a profit/business out of thin air.

However, no everyone can achieve what I have done, if they don't go to very extreme pain and sorrow.

If I could do it all over again, I would have stayed with my family and put my skills to work to build my country.
