RSVP here: https://mat.tg/JulyDinner ABOUT THIS VIDEO My mom is 81, and she’s seriously thinking about coming to Colombia. In this video, I talk about why I’m not comfortable with the idea of eventually putting her in a nursing home in the U.S., what the real costs look like, and why Colombia may offer a very different option for aging parents . especially when it comes to in home care, healthcare, quality of life, and family. This is not advice, and it’s not the right answer for everyone. It’s just a real conversation I’m having in my own life.
