The $1000/ mo. would mostly be a return of capital , so at the end of 5 years the balance would be zero. Seems to make sense as a way of guaranteeing solvency for those of us who have savings but not income. I too read about the $60,000 deposit for residency, but I understood it differently.

Read it! Good luck on your relationship... and be very scared of the Latinas. Costa Rican men are pretty much not known for monogamous relationships.

Good luck on your relationship… and be very scared of the Latinas. Costa Rican men are pretty much not known for monogamous relationships.

We dated for 6 months and then lived together for 6 months while he was in the States. He asked if I would visit him this Spring. I have never traveled before and am understandably nervous. I am a suburban gal, born and raised, and he comes from a farm family of 15! I've been looking around for sites of what Costa Rica is really like, i.e., people and culture. Most web sites are all tourist based. If things work out, I might live there someday,so I am understandably curious. Mostly, I am afraid he will leave me for those fabulous Latinas! I fully agree with the above comments because I work with many Latinas and I completely adore them. I also speak half decent Spanish. Although I was a hippie in the 60's, I am certainly no feminist. In fact I love to be a woman and for men to be, well...men. Any comments or encouragement would be welcome. Hello there,

They never ask first what is in it for me, they just give, and as a result I give more than I ever gave in my two marriages in the states. Womens lib has hurt more women in my opinion than it ever helped, more today than 20 yrs ago when at its heday. Unfortunatly whith the advent of us commercials and tele shows thyis is changing and I fear that soon the women here will be as messed up as those in the states. If you doubt my comment about messed up just compare the suicide rates, the rate of heart disease, the rate of drug abuse, the rate of psychotherapy and the rate of divorce for the women here and the women in the states.
