Costa Rica: Conflicting cost of living stories?:
My husband and I have decided on early retirement(yay!). He's 39 and I'm 34. The last few years we have been hard at work developing passive income through rental properties. We now have amazing long term tenants and a wonderful property manager that we trust, so we are comfortable taking the plunge. Our combined after tax/expense income is right at 60,000$ a year.
I've read tons of information and have gotten conflicting views on cost of living in Costa. Some say it is very expensive, some say super cheap.
We are not looking to live like Americans. We love to cook at home and have never liked "stuff". Currently we live in a small one bedroom attached to our larger rental properties with our two dogs(no children). When we are bored we take walks and enjoy the outdoors. We want to rent a tico house, live simply and enjoy the time we have together.
I would love you're input as to whether or not y'all think our income/lifestyle is feasible in Costa Rica long term. Thank you!
