It's so hard to leave. Not only is it expensive, but the family ties tie us up. My mother in law refuses to move away from my sister in law's kids. My wife refuses to move away from her mother, because she is elderly and needs our help. I owe a lifelong debt to my wife so I will not leave her.
My friend is moving to Uruguay. I would love to join him.
Agreed. What is/was your position in government? If you don't mind to say just keep it very general or vague. I didn't know someone who gets it was in any office in the US.
