In this episode, we answer:
❓ Please do a episode on retiring in Costa Rica. My family will be visiting Tamarindo during my daughter’s college break to scope out the area for retirement.
We’ve released the retirement video here: https://youtu.be/V4hCi-AqQDI
❓ If you live like a local, it will be less expensive than living like a USA expat. It’s just that simple.
❓ Always love your videos. I’d love for in the future you two possibly do a video on upcoming places in Costa Rica’s that you two can see getting bigger and more tourist heavy.
❓ Costa Rica is NOT a 3rd world country. There’s a place between 1st and 3rd, 2nd. Costa Rica is certainly not a developed country, nor an underdeveloped country. It’s a developing country.
❓ Can you guys shed some light on having people come to work at your home as a maid, nanny or lawn care worker? I hear all kinds of chatter regarding having to pay these people’s Cajas or having trouble ending the service when it is no longer needed.
❓ I think it’s important for people that are considering moving to Costa Rica to ask themselves if Costa Rica has enough of what they need to sustain them in their day-to-day lives.
❓ Other than being able to access CAJA, are there any advantages to obtaining residency?
❓ If I recall correctly from previous videos, you were able to buy homes and a car without being a resident. I’m struggling to see the advantages. Second, have either of you experienced a football (soccer) match there? If so, how was the experience?
❓ Do you guys still vote in the US? If so, how? I plan to fly back in November to vote because I don’t know of a more efficient way to do so. If you know of a cheaper way for me to vote, I’d appreciate the advice.
❓ Oddball: “we are excited to move – love the beach – deathly afraid of bugs and don’t like heat. Can’t wait to meet you!”
