Would it be a stretch to think one could live walking distance from a beach like quepos, and withdraw your 2500 from your BetJam transfer card? Are there a small variety of local ma & pa cafe's to eat at around the beach?
I would not have a car to minimize expenses. i will get a taxi a few days a month to go in to town.

Yeah, this is hard to move away from for some of us...hno:
Hey, just trying to be helpful. A lot of people I know (myself included in the first year) came down here amazed at how cheap everything was, yet were broker after the first few months than back in north america.
After the Safe Port act was passed I decided to pack up and move to Quepos for awhile. I had no money saved and worked on Tico wages for the whole time I was there. My wife and I lived off a combined income of around $700 a month, $800 if tips were good and and they usually werent. We lived fairly well although our apartment was shit within walking distance of three beaches and conveniently located halfway between Quepos and Manuel Antonio(Near the famous Super Joseth). Its pretty safe to say that you could live just fine on 2500 in Quepos assuming you dont have a coke habit of course.
Fuze, I'm cool, never had a drug addiction. So many people I know have down here its pretty amazing. The first year I was here I also went crazy, but getting married challenges your inner degenerate.
We should have a beer sometime OSS, you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and I have never seen you post anything I disagreed with.
