Many progressive democrat homosexual couples moved to Costa Rica right after the last election - it's like they have advanced knowledge of something being planned by their side soon?
One was a highly ranked democrat pundit for clinton in Arkansas.

There are still Nicaraguans in Nicaragua? I thought they were all in the US.

"Unless you're pretty affluent, you're going to struggle here as a retiree," she said of life in the U.S. "You might as well go somewhere else and live better. The world is out there." When the first government upheaval takes place, she'll probably expect our government/troops to bail her out . . .

Nicaraguan cigars are excellent. That's a good reason right there to at least have a second home there!

Until the next dictator comes along and confiscates it all.

I met a guy at the garage while we were getting our cars fixed who lived and worked in Nicaragua for 13 years who decided to retire back in the 'States (the "land of stuff," he called it) ... he said the people were warm and friendly and very hospitable, but just stay away from getting involved with the government there, the police and judicial system.

There are plenty of places to retire cheaply in the United States. Just don't expect waterfront property or warm winters.

It is my beliefe that people coming to the US should learn to speak English. I also believe that if I moved to nicaragua it would be my duty to learn their language.
I am too old a dog to learn a new language at this stage and I dont ant to be 2,000 miles away from my grandkids in some central American shithole.

Exactly! lure those poor old white bread retired Alzheimer's folks out of their homes and get them down to the third world to spend their golden years, meanwhile back in the good old U.S.A Hernando, his wife and their twelve kids have moved into the old home place and bingo the government gets exactly what it wants. Electoral and population replacement.

My daughter had an accident in Bolivia ten years ago. We spent 16 days in Santa Cruz before she could return here. The 5 star hotel was $45 per night in a city of 800,000. There was a large US community and we were told you could live like a millionare for $20,000 a year and live well on $10,000. With satellite and computers, you're not so cut off from your world.
Shopping and dining were quite good and a taxi was less than a dollar. Other than the tragedy we were living, it was an enjoyable experience. The hospital care was deemed quite excellent by the doctors here. By the way, Retin A was only $5.00. All drugs were over the counter.

Then you're a damned idiot. I bought a two-bedroom, all appliances, Florida porch on one side, weather porch porch on the other side, home in a gated community with on the ground security in Ocala Florida for forty thousand dollars just three years ago.

As long as I live, I will live in the U.S.A. The greatest country the world has ever seen!

The retirees that have made it head south of the border and those south of the border trying to make it head north of the border..... sounds kinda mixed up.

I would move to another Country in a heartbeat. I think it would be exciting, but I like to move. My husband think I'm nuts. After living 65 years in San Diego, I made him move to Arizona. (I'm 20 years younger than him). He loves it here, now I'm getting antsy. Anyone here live on a lake somewhere that would be a good retirement home? Someone here the other day was talking about Lake Ozark...any suggetions?
