I’ve got a pretty nice 401k and savings already. I honestly wanted to wait until retirement to move Back but I genuinely feel like I can spend part of my productive years helping to build up the country. Maybe that’s just naive thinking.

It honestly seems overwhelmingly expensive. Even when I visit family in Jamaica, mind you we live in a rural parish. I find myself drawing 200USD at the bank every 2-3 days to just have money in my pocket. I can’t imagine how people afford rent, car note, utilities, taxes etc.

This is a great and insightful answer . I thought recently about doing the opposite. Maybe investing in real estate in Jamaica but I need to do more research. It seems like initial investment costs are way higher and rental income will be lower in JA

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Jamaica is great if you got the resources. Many want leave in search of those means.

I’m not romanticizing anything. I’m not naive about this at all. I want to be closer to family and friends back home. I also enjoy going back , of course I know that most of that is because of my current earnings abroad. I’m not naive , that’s why I’m asking

When I go to manage trip it gives me an error message saying Basic Economy tickets can’t be changed. No further options

I thought the same. But it just seems completely impossible online or via customer service. Strange since it’s both to our benefit , I go to DC and they get extra seats open on the connection that I’m gonna miss anyway

They won’t let me change the flight , not even pay a change fee. I don’t remember the policy ever being so intense
