nanc, color me ignant, but i've always thought of CR is a lil paradise, a place peeps would want to live...is it just the money?
cause i would never think a bro would want to go from CR to florida, willingly...
Well it's not just the money, let me elaborate:
Your average CR salary is $500 per month,
However:
Your minimum cheap so-so city rent is $300
Your minimum monthly basic grocery bill is $100
Eating with a friend in a cheap rest or going to a bar and barely drink/have fun is at least $20
Home ownership will be at least $70000
Getting a 42" Tv is at least $1300
Buying a so-so cell phone is at least $200.
There is no CS so returns and warranties are almost imposible, no real BBB or places to defend urself as a consumer...
Streets are unsafe and ur house HAS to have bars to decrease break ins.
So in general, you earn poorly and everything is insanely expensive, and when you actually get something nice for yourself it might get stolen or be a ripoff
BUT, if you have money or live in the rural areas it's beautiful and a lot more safe, beaches are beautiful, we have the most wonderful biodiversity, forrest, nice people, volcanoes, it's not all bad, but it sure aint heaven either.
I want to go back home to the Us because I will have a better quality of life, I would like to retire hear in the nice places but I need $$$ of course to lead the good life...
