Cost rica is the most expensive Central American country. I visited both coasts for a month and the west coast is mostly boomers driving up prices. I felt like I was in southern cali.
- linsomniac 2y ago"The most expensive Central American country" is still, from what I gather, rather affordable compared to the US. And the quality of living is fairly high, with good, affordable healthcare. What I'm thinking is: I'm at about half my target retirement savings. Which means if I can halve my expenses, and get healthcare, I can retire now.
- olebonyata 2y agoSorry I meant it costs the same as southern cali. Sure there are cheap pockets. If you don’t mind not having reliable electricity. Visit first. You’ll see. Also: do some research on what the us government takes from your retirement if you expatriate. Eye opening.
- armitron 2y agoAFAIK the US government doesn't take anything from your retirement unless you give up citizenship, which you don't need to do in order to expatriate. One can be a US citizen and live his life in any country one sees fit.
