Hmmm, so I should start worrying after I hit 108?

Our life expectancy keeps increasing. That tells me much of the concern is ado about nothing. There are some people who may be hypersensitive to splenda/saccarin/or whatever, but that's a distinct minority.

As do all Haitians...

Bob, in Jarabacoa, do you have frequent roundups of Haitians by Migracion? In Boca Chica, we have them a lot, but probably not daily. I'm guessing that our cities are similar in population, but given we are so much closer to the capital than you and not quite as isolated, our Haitians get more...

I'm very much pro Haiti. However that diatribe has got to be the dumbest thing I've read in 4 days.

What city and did you like it?

While you're right, if you click on their **** you may get malware. Never and I mean NEVER click on any of their links.

My kid uses it for coffee. I used to use it for oatmeal but since I went to PriceSmart and bought 1000 packets of the fake sugar, my real sugar usage is at absolute 0.

For me it's food more than anything else. Utilities maybe contribute a little, but not that much. Other expenses remain the same.

Same with Haitians. However I have convinced my kid to save and he has quite a nice nest egg saved up.

I've seen it and bought it in Ole when they were out of the cremora sugar. If they have the cremora though, I never look for white.

Not having the problem down here in Boca Chica or in San Isidro. Where u at? But now that I think a bit more about it, we never buy white sugar so I don't pay attention to its scarity.

I was involved in 2 well diggings in okap, both for blan organizations. We drilled down to 100 feet to reduce the risk of contanmination. If memory serves right, most Haitian wells are 20 feet deep, at least in the north.

I know it's off topic, but for me most Haitians are all smiles. I do talk and play with them which probably helps a lot.

If you figure on average I have saved $800/month, for 60 months by living in the DR. That's $48k. That's a big chunk of chain for someone with dwindling years left.

Interesting but I do mine on an annual basis. I track from my retirement anniversary. For the first 3 years, my net worth actually increased because of the market.

I also keep that stuff in a spreadsheet. I have only noticed an increase in the last year. But, given that I'm saving between $750 - 1000 each month on rent and utilities, I'm not complaining.

I have one Haitian friend in Santiago who is afraid to go to work. He's about 30 or so. Not sure how he is going to survive.

Happy Birthday Mike!! Your 100 pesos is in the mail.

One more thing. Today I went to a new bakery in town (Boca Chica). I struck up a conversation with the owner and found out lots of cools stuff about him To me, if you are open and not standoffish, the DR is a great place to meet folks. I like that much better than the USA.
