After months of selling household goods and cars, we are only a few weeks from taking a one way trip to Ecuador. Things are calm for now, but once we get in Ecuador more decisions will be made like where we want to live and if we will need car.
Currently we are trying to decide if we want to live in the country or in the city. I enjoy living in the country and have never lived in a city before. However, if we choose the country then our daughter won’t be able to attend a daycare and we will need to buy a car which are shockingly more expensive in Ecuador. Living in the city means more walking and taking buses. Lately, my leg hasn’t been causing me pain, but I worry that the change of suddenly walking miles a day may aggravate it.
My wife, Lauren, has done an amazing job researching neighborhoods and daycares and she mailed off our immigration paperwork a couple of weeks ago to our lawyer.
The stock market has been floating frothy near all time highs for the last few weeks. The market has become somewhat calloused in regards to presidential announcements. Overall life is great and once some funds settle I plan to be at a stable 15% bonds that will help “smooth the ride” as JL Collins often says.
