A great article by the Latin Business Journal http://www.latinbusinesschronicle.com/app/article.aspx?id=1786 points out that America is being subsidized by Latin America. Don’t laugh. There are lots of wealthy people in Latin America. There is still an attitude in Latin America - though quickly changing - that the USA is a good place to invest.

My prediction - USA is on the way down and Latin America is on the rise.

Here are some quick facts about life in Chile where I live.

Monthly Expenses

• Rent $340
• Health Insurance for my wife and Daughter $60
• Internet $80 a month
• Food and Eating out $600
• Utilites - $80

General Factors Here in Chile

• Not as much corruption as the USA - no war on false pretenses
• A large middle class
• Smaller Population - Not as much overcrowding
• More Simple Lifestyle and less polution
• Strong workers rights a concern for the poor
• Some form of health insurance for everyone

Anyways Chile is the richest and most stable country in latin america and right now its a great place to live. It definitely has problems but overall its got its act together compared to the USA. Yesterday there was the teleton here in Chile. Its sort of national holiday in Chile for children with disabilities. Maybe their is something like that in the USA but nothing near it in popularity..

Viva Chile ! As soon as I can open a bank account here .. I will moving dollars into chilean pesos
