the u.s. is shit. just different strokes for different folks. it suits some people. and for those it doesn't they should do something about it or learn to make the best of a bad situation till they can do somthing about it. i'm 35 years old. i moved down here 8 years ago without a clue how to speak spanish and maybe enough money to last me a year or two.
It's not a matter of whether or not the US suits me.. The american dream has been ruined, the entire platform of the government needs to change before it ever changes and we don't see it really changing anytime soon.. It's more of a question of whether or not this is a society where do ppl really want to raise their children in anymore.

i love the U.S. and will always be an American. you just have to think of the world globally. just like many americans are now moving to different states because of the mmj laws you need to viewing the world as a possibility. 30 years ago very few people lived "abroad" as opposed to now. you are never going to find the "perfect" country anywhere you go. but you can find one that suits you more than your current one if you are unhappy. central america has its drawbacks as well. for me though it works. something about waking up to the beach everyday and being able to wear shorts and flipflops anywhere i go. lol.

I am going to leave the topic of politics alone, it really gets me heated up and it's too early for all of that..Only thing I will say, is that we live in a country where millionaires hoard money, our politicians are eating out of their hands, corporations are treated as people, all the while our heads are buried in the middle-eastern sands. It's all about money.. Got to go help a friend paint their pool!! Have a great day. :D

There's room at the top they're telling you still...but first you must learn to smile as you kill.

that's one of the better surf spots on the area. huge undertow though so not too many swimmers. the surfers are all a little further up the beach in front of the bars and restaurants. this is toward the end where it's all private residences and condos. no where for their ladies to get drinks and stuff. haha. that right is probably a nice 5-6' wave. hard to tell in the pic.

Damn Scooby you got me jonesing for Costa Rica. I almost retired in Mexico but after three months my dad had health issues and returned to the states. I am having passport issues or I would be down in your neck of the woods next month. I really want to go to Costa Rica to scope out moving there. I just need to convince the wife.

What's the risk involved with a small personal indoor grow?

I hate shoes and socks. I need to get out of here. Rats are eating each other in this cage.

what up buddy? sounds like you have the same wardrobe as me. lol

small personal indoor grows are no problem at all here. the real key in Costa Rica is just not letting anyone know. not your neighbor or your friends or anyone. the country just might be the gossip capital of the world. and by the time it got out you would be pablo escobar with a coke lab in your backyard within a week. just invites a ton of problems. doing a small 1000-2000w grow in a room or some tents is totally fine though. just don't let anyone know.

Cool!! I am very content with even a couple 400's. No problems with the silence. Just don't want to end up in prison for a couple plants. Mexico would be a bad place to get popped in. Plus the power was too unreliable.

Yep, shorts and bare foot is my style. I have to wear a tank top as I got chubby sitting in a studio all day. The healthier food and exercise down there would take the weight off though.

Love your boats. I used to do Mako tournaments out of Marina Del Rey CA a few years back. Spent a few years on Puget Sound chasing salmon too. I bet you have a blast fishing down there.

Any income opportunities for an ex pat? My wife is eligible for her smallish pension this fall. If I could supplement it a bit for a couple years we could be good to go.

I'm jealous.
