[quote=”Phil13″]Worrying about expenditures is usually assigned to the male – that is in the popular culture. So, its refreshing to see that a frugal women exists. Just kiddin’ – I have know a lot of women that budgeted and ran a great household. My mom among them![/quote]
:wink:Hey, it’s good to hear us cheapskates getting a round of applause! My husband has been embarrassed by my frugality at times, but not anymore. Now we get to move to CR soon because we’re debt-free. Our final adventure commences…
I love all the bugs (MOST of the bugs…). As a former zookeeper & U.S.V.I. dweller, I’m ready for that end of things. Have known some honking big rats too! But I learned the hard way not to step on those humongous cucarachas-I skidded & fell. House lizards are a good thing.
:shock:To bar, or not to bar, that is one question. We’re in the process of selling off the valuables, even our gold wedding sets, to reduce the effect if we are targetted. I expect it, as a newbie. Everyone makes mistakes in a new place. As long as it just takes $$ to fix & not a hospital visit for GBH, it’s not much of a problem in my opinion. No, we’re not rich. We’ll have an adequate income to live modestly & be able to buy a house.
Would it make sense to leave the house open on the edge of Grecia, say, & let’em grope around w/out needing to break something to get in & have a look?
Other concerns- are the buses really good, or must we have a car to shop?
Is it easy to find Spanish classes?
How easy is it to find a non-moldy, well-sited,simple 2BR-2BA at 5,000 Ft? We’re altitude people (Denver). Boy, are we sorry we weren’t ready to hop on that great farm in Lourdes that just sold! It looked like our dream place…
