Living and Retirement in Costa Rica - Christopher Howard

[kiddtuffnuff]

been in this shit hole for 10 years Im moving to nicaragua

[montanaro211]

sanjose is not the best but it ISN'T the worst, mexico city, guatemala city, tegucigalpa, bogota all have ugly parts and obviously more than san jose, aruba is just a dry, tiny country with good beaches. i prefer to having a beatiful country with full natural enviroment and people and a better economy and not live in aruba with people as shity as you

[Lambeestaca]

POPULAR RETIRE MECCA of course because gringos take advantage of our social security,evade taxes,and bride corrupt goverment officials to get what they need such as to build a house or a business on a nacional wildlife protected area,evade certain construction permits,imigration issues,gringos dont want costa rican culture in CR instead they want to have a USA in Costa Rica.Enjoy while you can because lots of things will change for the good of CR

[DBDGREAT]

Just got back from Costa Rica...........Aruba is way, way, better. San Juan Costa Rica downtown look even worst than the worst part of Mexico.

Products there look like cheap Chineese crap.

[ohno484]

@DBDGREAT First off its san jose. san juan is puerto rico. second you must not have gotten around much cuz costa rica blows a ruba out of the water dude. sorry to tell ya

[DougWardBlammo]

@DBDGREAT San Jose is a shithole.All capital cities are. You didn't go elsewhere ? Aruba is fine for beaches. That's all it has.

If I wanted beaches I'd move to Tahiti. I'll take CR any day.

[retirecheapjc]

Very good. I lived in Costa Rica for a while and really liked it. That was back when it was a little cheaper than it is now. I have been living in Thailand now for 9 years and like it but miss the Latin culture.

[RockhoundIM]

What city are the pictures taken from?

[iwelcomedeath1]

Is this Shemps Brother??

[wilshils]

Very interesting, we are a Scottish couple in our late 50's looking to move.

I have my own plumbing company, could I possibly start something like that their?

[luigihope]

@wilshils You could easily do that here. The country loves entrepreneurs, but get ready for some bureaucracy to get all permits. Hey, it is still a third world country right!!

[md991free]

@luigihope Costa Rica is not a third world world country, is a developing country. Unemployment is around 9%. The population is highly educated and the country has been very stable compare to other countries in Latin America for the past 50 years.

[luigihope]

@md991free Dude, I am a 34 y costarican, thanks for the lesson. I know what my country is.

[md991free]

@luigihope Haiti and Nicaragua are third world countries, your country is not. Are you saying that your country is like them?

[md991free]

@luigihope by the way, your country is very beautiful and I would like to visit it one day.

[pjhurley100]

Christopher, nice takes on why to retire in CR!

[LabRat6619]

Would a retired person employ a western person like me if it got the job done quickly and still at lowish cost? I know local labour is very cheap but can take a long time for them to turn up?

[zobcity01]

I would like to visit and see if this where I could call home. The USA is ok yet a new land sounds fun.

[FKASG9SSM]

rush limbaugh's new home!!

[KataVideo]

wow, I hope Rush Limbaugh sees this. After all, he says he's leaving the United States since we HAVE PASSED HEALTH CARE REFORM!!!

[SUPERPHANTAZM]

I'm 47 , two homes and a nest egg.

[SUPERPHANTAZM]

and how do you become citizen?

[Normalman48]

Hi Super.. You must show a retirement income of not less than $600. per month, which must be deposited in one of their banks. If you are younger you'll have to show $1,000 a month income from outside the country. You can't work there unless you open a business. Want a nice building lot for about $22,000 let me know.

[SUPERPHANTAZM]

What about jobs? I'd like to go off grid , but make a few bucks.

[Harukakanata909]

chris rothrock's costa rica video is better

[anncreed23]

Excellent videography & editing. Very informative.

[prestige334]

Costa Rica seems interesting. Things in the States haven't been good for a while.

[rakywill]

Looking in the internet, I found Chris Howard's book "The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica". In spite of the utopian title, I did purchase the book and read it from cover to cover. It covers EVERYTHING you want to know about moving and retiring to Costa Rica..it became my Costa Rican Bible!!
