I have lived in Florida for 22 years. Prior to that I lived in New York City. I left New York because of an increase in crime and the cost of living. I retired from the Postal Service 4 years ago and I am now living on my retirement. Taxes on my home have gone up 14% in the last year alone. The cost of food seems to have doubled. Crime has gotten out of hand. Gasoline prices are $3.32 a gallon for regular. Thank goodness I am a vegetarian, because the prices of meat has also gone sky high.
I have researched moving to Costa Rica, Panama and Uruguay. I decided to try each one out for a few months. I definitely will rent in each place before I decide to buy. I believe it is the smart thing to do especially since there are so many changes going on all over. I am going to Costa Rica first. I truly hope that things work out for me there because I favor Costa Rica over Panama and Uruguay.
No matter where I choose to settle, I truly believe that it is time to move on. It is too expensive and dangerous living in the U.S.
