my friend;
see if you can follow and understand the numbers
the interesting ones are in “RED”
15,000 you say??
that is the # of legal US citizens that live in CR with their residency and own property
30,000 more as perpetual residents as some come and GO and they just rent and are not counted
now; where do I fall in this statistic, I am a US citizen with property in CR but visit 30-45 days out of each year
I figure the average age of the people that participate in WE LOVE COSTA RICA is between 45 and 55
maybe by a ratio of 60%
and if 2 out of 3 people moving to CR returns to the USA then that # is defining the LOSS in this forum
I have 3 children and the oldest was born in CR and came to the USA 5 years ago
based on some #’s I read in La Nacion, 335,000 ticos have left CR in the last 3 years
have to find out how many US citizens are living in CR but it is not close to 12,000
any ideas???
Amazing that this conversation has been around for AGES in this forum.
My wifes family comes every 3-4 months and they buy the same things, SMALL items, over and over again and again
Clothes, Shoes, Watches, Laptops, Plasma TV’s, Phones, kitchen appliances (rice makers, pressure cooker, can opener, linen, towels etc.. and never a big item like a fridge, stove, furniture.
I will go the way the Ticos go when I buy anything and save $$$$.
I send in a 45″ x 45″ x 45″ cardbox small items for $145.00 every 2 months and that includes bathroom fixtures, electric outlets, electric breaker box, a hammer, drill, drill bits and other small tools.
I hate your writing on this issue and I hate your LOGIC
but….. YOU ARE SO RIGHT
Israel never said anything about the NUKES, Pakistan and India have
WAIT A MINUTE, Iran is a threat and they have to be stopped at all costs
I wonder how much it will cost the USA if they get involved in this mess
FOR SALE: US Visas for $500,000.00
invest $500,000 in a business that creates 10 jobs and after 2 years get a Green Card
the poor, needy, hungry do not need to apply
Chinese, Russian, Colombian are all welcome but only after you have that amount to invest in the GOOD, OLD USA
I would be in your best interest to immerse yourself in a Spanish conversation class before coming to Costa Rica. You can think of this as learning to swim. First you learn how to float then learn to doggie swim and the rest is history.
Must warn you that at first your Spanish will sound GARBLED and sometimes funny but the Ticos will not laugh at you, they will concentrate to figure out what you say.
There is a difference between the Gringo and the Tourist for Ticos’. The Gringo is the one that wants to live in Costa Rica and never tries to learn their language and culture; the Tourist is more palatable to the Tico since he makes an effort to communicate in Spanish.
Hope this helps.
Nice one David, but the LIVING does the fighting the Dead have no purpose, calendar, alarm clock, JOB, income or need space or AIR.
“I certainly share your aspirations for your children’s and grandchildren’s futures despite having never had children of my own,”
YOU, yes “YOU” that never had a child is lecturing ME!! On my next of KIN.
Maybe you need a cause, SAVE THE WHALES would fit in your pocket.
Interesting thread from people that don’t live in the USA and hold a PASSPORT from that country.
You “DO NOT” have to tell me what is wrong with my Country, Supreme Court, Congress, Senate.
I decided to stay and FIGHT the system and posponed my retirement by 6 months, HEY!!! wait a minute, I can retire in 6 months, why add 6 more months to this AGONY.
because of my GRANDCHILDREN. Lived a good life and I want this new generation to live the same be that MY SON or yours, is does not matter.
I can see another of my posts has been deleted
makes me think, “WHY bother posting in this Forum”
do you MR. Moderator have an answer to this??
or is it that only what you consider the right posts can remain here
CR is #144 under this chart
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html
$ -1,969,000,000, 2011 est
lots of negative numbers in there but what does this really mean??
some national debt is [u]OK[/u] but up to a point
moving to CR from the USA might help you up to a point in your standard of living
but some cities in the USA are bankrupt and they are cutting on Police, Teachers, Firefighters and City workers besides on Pension Plans
will your Social Security check be protected for the next 10 years??? I DON”T THINK SO!!!
used to be 20 years in the Military (USA) and you fot 50% in retirement, now they are thinking of changing the rule to 50% when you reach 62 years
the Federal workforce has not seen an increase in pay for the last 2 years
the US Post Office wants to reduce their workforce from 480,000 to 360,000 in the next 5 years
Detroit auto workers where reduced by 250,000 and so was their pension plans
The state of Florida does not have the right amount of funds in it’s retirement POT to pay the same amount in 10 more years
and the same will happen in CR if they don’t control their spending
another JAB
what do you think this means??
Read closely on how the web by the spider will engulfull you
“Las bandas” is nothing more than the Bank of CR playing the system
Money, Money, Money, Money!!!!
CASH is KING but what type of cash, dollars, Euros, Gold, Oil investments ($3.05) a gallon today in Florida from $3.71

present value is better than Future value
