Why I Backed Out Of Moving to Puerto Rico

Eric had made a plan to move to Puerto Rico during November of this year and today on the Leveling Up Daily show, he explains why he backed out of this plan and decided to stay in LA. With the island lifestyle, great food, community, and attractive tax laws, there were a number of reasons that Puerto Rico started to look very attractive, but with a bout of sickness and in the context of the year we have all had in 2020, Eric found that when it came down it, it did not make so much sense. Tune to hear it all!
