Why are so many Americans moving to Costa Rica?

Answer 1

As i live here i continue to see mostly divorced men looking for cheap booze and women. Aside from that many retired couples enjoy the nice weather as a second home. In many states the winter at home is the summer in Costa Rica. Its not much cheaper here anymore, except for labor rates. Nannys and slave labor is cheap. American foods and vehicles are double.

Come and see for yourself, it is very picturesque!

Costa Rica is truly an amazing country, well deserving of its reputation as a prime retirement haven. The climate is excellent.

Answer 4

If you are a couple in the US who has just retired, you are probably looking at a Social Security check of about 3k dollars put together.  That won't get you much in the USA, but it will give you a comfortable lifestyle in Costa Rica.  If you add a pension to that, you can live an unbelievable lifestyle in Costa Rica when compared to the US.  It is not the bargain that it once was, but Costa Rica still remains very desired because of its climate, political stability and cost of living.  For any other information about Costa Rica, try the TicosLand.com directory.

Because here in the US they can't do much with the retirement check, over there they could buy a nice house and everything is cheaper so the check lasts longer/ they live more relaxed

Answer 7

Wealthy and/or retired Americans move to Costa Rica because it is beautiful and because the cost of living is so much less there .    If one is not rich or retired with an income, it is not practical to move there as getting a work visa is difficult and jobs there pay very little.  But, money from the U.S. goes a long way there.
