Timeline

I absolutely plan to go back to Ghana. We're going to have to buy a compound and a generator and a couple tanks for holding water cause I'm high maintenance and my man knows it. But that's the plan. Now that the US allows dual citizenship, we're also considering that. Although it means Bassi has to drop his BF citizenship. But that's cool with him.

I also don't want to move out of the country 'til my hubby has dual citizenship, unless he could keep his GC valid while we were abroad.

Well since we've been living together in 'my' country for almost a year now I would have to say yes ^_^

If the finances are in order, I will drop everything and move asap! Of course, I will be coming back to the USA for occasional visits.

We have something in common ZEE, All my family is from Ghana too except for my Brothers and Sister and some cousins and me are from America. My Parents and older aunts and uncles are all from Ghana. And they all have houses over there...and keep stressing to me that I need to get a house there too.

At first I was like WHATEVER... BUT NOW that I am engaged soon to be married to a Ghanian and was GOING back and forth to Ghana since 2006 to the present to see my fiance as if plane tickets were FREE... I will defiantely MOVE to GHANA ...WHEN MY MONEY GAME IS RIGHT...AND I WILL BE THERE LIKE YESTERDAY!

Y'all already know that my family is from Ghana (except my sisters and parents) so going back is not something I have to think about. Its not something we think about because we know it is going to happen, whether its in 5 years ir 50.

We plan to live in my country in our old age, if it is the will of God.

Maybe 6 months in USA and 6 months in my country, we will see.

My US husband loves this idea.

A lot of people do it this way when they are older and retired :thumbs:

I am not the USC, but I hope to make my home in the US, and never have to go back to Italy again. As beautiful as my country is, the current situation is anything but good, and I can't wait to build myself a new life elsewhere. As for the future, anything can happen in the next twenty years, but I really hope I'll never feel the need to go back - and my SO feels the same as I do.

Yea, your retirement goes a much longer way in a third world country - especially if you're sipping drinks on the beach. That's what I hope to do :star:
