Greetings all,
Just discovered this forum and have found it to be wonderfully informative. Many of the answers I seek are partially answered throughout the different threads, but I am shooting for a more custom response if possible .
I am American born of Scottish parent, and have lived my whole life in NYC. I am married with 3 boys , 14, 10, 4 and my wife hails from Cotui, D.R. We are very seriously considering relocateing at this stage in our lives for various reasons and are doing our homework as to the viability of living in the Sosua/Cabarete environs.
Our general plan involves buying a home and opening a small business. We have a "nest egg" from the sale of our home here in NYC. My wife worked in banking for 10 years before coming to the US and has many contacts in the Money exchange business, as of now this is the small business we are considering.
Overall I am trying to get a grip on just how much US $ it will take to be able to open a business and buy a home in the Sosua/Cabarete area.
Don't want to ramble on too long here, but I am also curious as to the general cost of living for a family of 5, 3 of which will need schooling. We do not plan on living like kings, but hope for a comfortable existence.
If anyone has any general numbers or thoughts on the above please let me know.
Many thanks
