@Chris-gs7cq I'm from Argentina but I've spent a bunch of time in Uruguay. Its a nice place, you can take a cab without being robbed by the driver, but I don't know what to say other than 70-ish percent of people from south of Texas are genetically pro-socialist and highly tolerant of government excesses, and Uruguayans are no exception to this. I'm married to an American and we got Caribbean passports in case we want to leave the US (living in Argentina is NOT an option for me!). Uruguay's government is competently uncooperative and awful, residency is a pain in the butt for non-Mercosur residents, a passport takes years and years, and they have a bad and growing side of wokeness worse than Argentina or Chile. Oh, and they closed their borders to residents and citizens during the pandemic. You had to make an appointment to get back in to your own country, and then undergo an obnoxiously long quarantine (and remember they are competent, you cant avoid or ignore government "requests" in Uruguay.). Contrast that with St. Lucia's government which barely gets out of bed in the morning and just wants the money. I'll take option 2, lazy and just wants the money, the less my government thinks about me the better as far as I am concerned!

Most middle class Americans have enough monthly income to qualify for residency in many Central and some South American countries, actually even Mexico. Ecuador, for instance, is absolutely full of American expats. This is of course a double edged sword (edge sword?) because they like to talk American politics and American problems while having relocated to avoid America (and not just taxes). So if you are trying to leave that behind, maybe avoid heavy expat areas like Cuenca & San Miguel De Allende =). But you also have to be OK with a certain level of dirty, and sad street dogs all over unless living in an expat bubble full of potentially complaining expats. (Thats the double edged sword part). Depending on where you stand ethically and with your principles, Central and South Americans are largely leftists and more religious than the average American in my opinion. There is simply no concept of small government south of Texas (corrupt government, yes, changing governments like changing shoes, yes, small, efficient government with limited power, not even on the menu). Good luck! I am from Argentina, my husband is American, we are also looking to expand our horizons. Argentina is NOT on the list. Fine to visit, bad to live full time.
