Exploring Latin America

Since I am close to being in the same position, I especially enjoy the posts from Doug and Billy and Akaisha and the rest of our overseas posters.* Reading between the lines, Doug is still working through his (semi?)retirement plans, location and calling.*

The ex-pats demonstrate that it is possible to retire for less than that Convenient Round Figure that gets tossed around here alot.* They have taken a different path.* Their experiences are heartening to those still working who are looking for a Plan B.* Even if you decide to keep working, knowing that you could retire now certainly takes much of the pressure off.*

tozz,

You nailed it. That is the only thing that keeps me from going crazy.

Ah, an argument about me when I wasn't paying attention! Now I really feel part of the ERF community!!!

I do like to get traffic to my site but never post anything solely for promotional purposes but figure if I have content on my site that relates to the question being asked then sure, I'll post a link. I'm proud of the content on my site, both written by me and others.

As for those Google Ads, Justin's more or less correct. Right now I make an average whopping $2 a day on Google Ads and that's with getting a fairly substantial 400 visitors/4000 hits a day. It covers my hosting and a bit anyway (and I get a little other revenue--if someone else has a website and wants help getting at least some revenue to cover expenses, send me a private message and I can suggest ideas). Some day I'd like to make a living out of writing and publishing on the web but it ain't happening very quickly... Thankfully the stock market is behaving rather pleasantly right now so I don't have to worry too much about that at the moment.
