As a balance to Jenny’s comments, my wife and I make the decisions in our family and not our children so like most families that make a move anywhere, there is a period of transition but now my children don’t even want to visit the USA anymore.
As for not having “roller skating, Taco Bell, all you can eat buffet or bowling?” Who cares? Our kids are a hundred times fitter, healthier and better balanced now than they ever were in the USA and looking at their old school friends now, we can’t tell you how THRILLED we are that our children are growing up in Costa Rica and not back in California
And the time frame of what is 7 months? What statistics are you referring to?
And “nothing to do in Costa Rica?” Are you kidding me? If there’s “nothing to do” that’s because of a total lack of imagination, there’s plenty to do here for both adults and children.
“Trumped up reason?” How could you think such a thing Maravilla?
No! What will probably happen is that there will be a growing tide of people who will decide to live outside the US until the health insurance companies and the other major corporations realize that hey! “With an extra million people living outside the USA, who should have been paying us 1,000,000 multiplied by $XXX per month, we gotta stop this!”
But it won’t be a “trumped up reason” Maravilla, it will be a carefully planned system where you will have to “apply” to retire outside the USA “for your protection.” I reckon we all have a 5-10 year window.
Either that or, they could easily create a well publicized “terrorist attack” in the country that receives most of the gringo retirees so that A: No more will want to retire there and B: The ones already there will want to leave and C: The brave ones that may still consider it will then have to go through an “application process for their protection” and they will think that it’s all quite reasonable… Just as they think Homeland Security is quite reasonable when more than one million illegals literally walk across the Mexican border every year.
Meanwhile you can not board your plane becasue they tell you that you are on the no fly list because your name has the same number of letters in it as Osama’s
When are we all going to wake up!
