Alright BBers's, I need some advice. The warden has decided that she wants to retire to Costa Rica, a place we have NEVER been! She has been reading up on it and, apparently, the health care system is very good, property is reasonable, and we'll be at the beach! With that said, where is it "safe", fun, and whatever I don't know to ask?!
The first trip is going to take place around april to do some looking around, finding a realtor, amenities, etc. I have no fvcking idea where this came from, but will admit, rather stoked! Health care is a biggie, as I'm beat up from the feet up! I'll be going out on a disability, so those funds are solid, as well as my union pension. My income will be about $5500.00 a month, after the deduction for health care. Is that doable? I know a LOT of you people travel south and could really use some input!
BTW, a number of years ago, I asked about the big island. I had found a "smoking" deal on a waterfront property. Thanks the the erBB, we passed on it. And now, after all of the eruptions, it no longer exists!
That being said, aside from snide remarks, I appreciate your input in advance!
