They don't call them washaterias around here. That's in a charming neck of the woods I revisited a few years back.
If you really want to get away, and go on a nice adventure and not struggle so much...
Did you know you can go to about any country and still get your disability payments? I think Russia is currently one of the only
places you can't live and still get benefits. There's some nice places south of the border where the USD goes a long way.
Also a different culture that's not so... toxic. Yes, there is poverty but it's gorgeous and you have many different areas to live in or by,
from desert, to jungle, to seaside, or mountains and a combo. Lots of states in Mexico where it's easy to get by. Apparently in south east
asia you can live like a king on the USD what I wouldn't want to go there...seems....greasy. I have more in common with my south of southern
brothers who love them beans and tortillas. The scary 'cartel' doesn't fuck with 'civilians.' Winter is approaching and the weather is nice, no snow
but it does get cold at night in the desert (I think about 45f). Definitely a better life than living in a U.S. men's shelter, or on the street.
As far as your medical issues are concerned; the doctors there are cheap. Lots of people actually fly to Mexico for certain medical or dental procedures
it's that cheap WITH the price of round trip air.
Don't have a passport? No problem. Getting into Mexico isn't like a Mexican getting into the U.S. Any u.s. embassy can help you get your
documents.
This guy explains stuff; he's an expat living in Mexico. The average Mexican policeman makes less than $500USD/month.
Best of luck to you, I know all too well the struggles of toxic relationships and no matter if your mother, your father, or your ex,
you HAVE to cut them out and know you're not alone. That's one of the benefits of having a 'higher' power. Faith/spirituality I've learned
is actually a key component to mental health maintenance.
Looking forward to reading about your success through adversity. It does make you strong and it does suck. Homeless in the U.S. versus Homeless
in Mexico... Shit, no homeless if you've got social security and it's completely legal with the U.S. Govt and Social Security Administration.
Panama I think is even cheaper, Ecuador (these are places I'm reading on this article on cnbc
describing costs.
I love Mexican 'family' culture. They love their kids and don't treat them like shit, they believe in God,
and they don't stuff their seniors into zombie farms, old folks are taken care of by their loving children.
Good food too. =)
