Be honest. In 2026, can a single veteran actually thrive (not just survive) on 100% VA Disability ($3,700) in the United States?

We live the life you're trying to figure out.
Sheila and I didn't get here by accident. We got here by having a plan.
I get DMs every day asking "how to start" or "is it safe?" The reality is, I can't answer your specific financial and life situation in a YouTube comment.
If you are actually serious about expat life, real estate, or business in the DR, you need a strategy, not just a dream.
Book a consultation. Letโs look at your numbers and make it real.

From Cali to Santo Domingo! โ๏ธ
We love it when the online community becomes real life. Shoutout to this couple from California who swung by the house while in town visiting family. It was great sharing stories about life in the DR vs. the States. The circle is growing.

๐ Stop guessing which neighborhood is safe.

We get asked every single day: "Is Santo Domingo actually safe?" The honest answer? It depends on the street.
We just updated our blog with a brand new Comparison Table breaking down the Top 5 Neighborhoods for Expats. We compare them by: โ Safety Rating (Veteran Approved) โ Walkability & Vibe โ The "Red Zone" areas you need to AVOID.
Don't guess with your safety. Get the facts from a US Veteran and a Local.

On a day like today, my son Jendry was born โจ
That day, time changed its rhythm, the heart understood its true purpose, and life took on a meaning greater than any plan. You arrived to remind us that miracles exist, that love multiplies, and that some blessings canโt be explainedโtheyโre honored every single day.
Happy life, my greatest gift ๐๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
