Hi Dantheman62,
I don't think George Green saw that one coming.
I can understand the economical reason for him to move to Equador. The writing is on the wall in Heathrow airport, with the HSBC advertising. How long would 1 million dolars last you if you retired in Sweden? 7 years. If you retired in Italy? 12 years. If you retired in the Philippines? 20 years. In Equador? Probably the rest of your natural born.
He should be very careful about taking large amounts down there with him, as life in South America is cheap. People will kill for next to nothing.
I think that Brazil will pull through this recession (it's now a depression in the US - three months of contracted economy in a row) as the economy of Brazil is made up of a whole variety of industries and low costs.
The Brazilian people seem to be very resilient as life here is a lot more difficult than the compartible comfortable life of the US or Europe. They have a lot less to lose, credit is already hard to find and very expensive so they are used to not having a plastic fall back.
Best regards,
Steve
