[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5905612, member: 24302"] My dad is 85. I came here to help him at 82 after a knee replacement surgery. I left for Argentina for 3 months but came back because he nearly died from heart failure. I tried to leave once more after he got better with a pacemaker but lasted 2 weeks in Mexico after getting a parasite. I had no issues in Argentina. I've known people who've lived in Mexico for 10+ years with no issues beyond some distress when they first got there. My experience is some.people handle it well, some don't. I don't. But most Argentina cities have modern waste treatment systems. So not an issue for me there and I went to 4 different cities. Most people I've known in Mexico are careful about water usage. They also treat their veggies with a widely available anti bacterial spray. I've been saying from the very start that it's not perfect. But if you have limited income in the States it'll go a lot farther in a lot of countries. If you are fine with barely getting by and hoping you don't have some sort of costly financial event then by all means stay in the States. [/QUOTE]
