I really need help from some of you guys. I guess many of you that have moved to DR from the US would really be able to help me out but I will take help from anyone.
First of all I am 36, I just retired from a police department here in the States because of injury. I am married and I have two children ages 15 and 12. I have been to the DR several times and I love it there. My wife and I always thought about retiring there one day but an injury caused that to happen pretty soon.
Do you guys think that we can exist ok with me bringing in a little more than $4,200 a month? Do you guys feel I should wait until the kids graduate? What are the schools system like in the DR? I have been to the DR a few times and a couple of times I got bit by the water situation. Those were the times that I was on a resort, drinking and brushing with bottled water. I think some of my food might have been washed with the tap. Did you guys ever get used to the water situation? My spanish is pretty good, I am half-puerto rican, but my wife and kid's spanish leaves a lot to be desired to say the least. What do you suggest the best option for me and someone in my position would be? I love the country, the people and everything but I want to make a calculating decision but I would like to know some opinions from you guys on the forum. Thanks in advance.
