Not to disagree too much, but when I first arrived the dollar was a little over a hundred to one colon and everything else was relative price wise. Now, I tell you that everything but my salary is comparable to the US. The price of living is so high that even with the money that I make here it's not quite enough. Water and lights are the only thing that I can say is much less than the US and property taxes. But evertything else is extremely abnormal. Abnormal in the sense that the other two countries on either side of us also have similar living conditions (to a certain extent) located in central amercia, retirees and so-on. But the cost of living is much less, let's see what happens to them in the near future from the dollars that the sportsbooks that go there influence the prices and how they go up there as well. Don't get me wrong I'm in the business, but I don't like what happens to people when they have dollar signs in their eyes. As an example;I have a friend of mine selling a house, he won't take any less than the selling price, not because he's a businees man or because because the house is worth that price, it's because he knows that some dumb ass with alot of cash will come by and fall in love a buy it. Something like the girls at the Del Rey. They were colones girls at one time beleive it or not, now english spoken here 100 dollars. That's what they go for in the US too. hmmmmmm something to think about.
is that right!
