I wish u guys best of luck. Just in the past week of watching what going on with price hikes for everything and licensing officers roadblocking & charging up the place is just failure. I glad for whoever can leave and do better for themselves.

I basically transfer money from my wife PayPal account (using my Trinidad credit cards as funding sources) to my us paypal account using the ‘send to friends and family’ option. From my us PayPal account I just send to my us bank account. Fees are minimal and it’s works out to be a flat 7ttd:1usd rate. So I just transfer as much as I can each billing cycle. I’m with Scotiabank and Their limits now are 3000usd per month per card so with 2 cards it’s very doable to move money. Plus I get miles/cash back on the transactions since it goes through like a regular payment. Win win. Hada get creative this rounds cus banks ain’t giving forex at all.

I love this country and I'd love my future kids to grow up here, but crime, lack of opportunities plus a poor economic outlook does make it seem like growing up here might be a mistake.

If it is meant to be, it will happen in the future.

There is a reason.
I have never regretted coming back home. I prefer to build my own country than someone else's. As bad as things are in T&T, it could always be worse.
I remember, in December, going by a mechanic to fix the car and the amount of ole talk that was happening made me thankful.

I don't believe in "building a country" tbh. I think that is something meant to brainwash our population by politicians/political class to lower the chance of brain drain. Just remember that all those politicians' kids reside abroad. That's no coincidence. Their plan is to suck the country dry and leave when it have nothing left. They aint building anything.
This country at this point resembles a kleptocracy.

What percentage does PayPal take from you in fees?
I'm at 5.4% because my account is still Trinidad based so I don't have the "send to friends and family" option. For me it works out to be approx 7.2 TTD: 1 USD.

That's a serious question? Just compare the quality of schools and facilities to what we have here in TT.
Not to mention their economic opportunities when they ready to enter the workplace

Very true. I feel is something people say just to make themselves better about having to come back to Trinidad. 1% send their children abroad to get educated and live.
