Folks, I have noticed on occasion that people talk about going to the DR, and other places, and staying for various lengths of time. I'm talking from a couple of weeks to several months. With the exception of those who basically put their lives on hold in the states, I have been curious about how it is that they continue to pay their bills back in the states, or wherever it is they might be from.
I have been thinking that it would be great at some point to do a 1-2 month stay in the DR. The problem I have is not being able to figure out how I would continue to pay my bills while I'm gone. I don't mean that I wouldn't have the money to pay them, but that I have many bills that need to be paid, i.e., credit card bills, various utilitie bills, auto/boat bills, etc. So, my point is there are many bills that need to be paid while I'm away. I'm assuming that others have encountered this issue as well. Could you please share what your solution(s) may have been?
Oh, as some background info, I am single and live alone so it's not like I have someone "at home" to take care of these things while I'm away.
Secondly, no, I don't know anyone else who I could entrust a check book to. Just about all of the people I know would empty my bank account, and I'm talking about my immediate family, never mind casual acquaintances.
I have talked previously about some day moving to the DR and, based on some posts here, I have been thinking that it might be a better idea to, at times, do somewhat lengthy stays rather than continue to do the week-at-a-time tourist thing.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
