Our LearnVest Interview On Our Move to Ecuador

We are interviewed about our move to Ecuador by LearnVest!  We were notified that it was one of the largest commented interviews.  Our surprise was extra nice to see our kids comment on the comments.  They are the true blue behind our family love.  We did the interview because we needed others to know that there are alternatives to worry and stress.  Ed and I worried about the long term care we might need and the fact that we could not afford it in the States.  We worried that we would not have any quality of life and we really thought that we worked hard enough to at least get that in our retirement years so the search went on to find a country that offered amenities, health care, and a quality of life that addressed all the things that Ed and I would like to have.  We found Ecuador fit all of the requirements.

I am working on getting Gabe our youngest settled with his Certificate of Naturalization and passport.  We are working on what we are sellling versus trashing.  The documents that are needing apostile are being gathered along with working on dog paperwork for the importing of pets.

We are looking at clothing, we each have our piles and are reworking them monthly. It makes me feel like there is something solid when I put clothing piles in baskets to be decided on, it makes it real.  We still look at each other and ask, "Still a go, right?"  We are both relieved that the search is over, and are now just working on what we can to show progress until we can go.

Aub loved the car load of goodies we brought to North Dakota, and Gabe was kind enough to leave a web page for a dumpster up on my laptop, just in case.  How cute, right. I think he thought he was helping.

We are trying to sell the items that we will not need after the season is complete, like lawnmowers, and anticipate the other seasons that we have items for sale, like fall and Christmas.  We are trying to maximize our profits and decrease the waste.  Recycling is big in our lives.
