I've lived in the DR for 3 years ('98-'99-'00), in 2000 I moved to Belgium with my husband. Our plan was work and save money for a house and a car, some money in the bank, (but still have a job, we are too young to stay at home), and return to the DR to stay.
But now the time came to start our "going back plans", everybody tells us the situation has changed a lot, and things our very difficult for the moment.
When we were working in DR, we made 16000 pesos / month, together. (in that time you got 15 pesos for 1 dollar) We could live really good with that amount off pesos in that time.
I know that the time we were living there, people were also complaining about the bad situation, even while we were not having a hard time.
I would like to know, people who live in the DR for 5 years or more, has it really changed so much? We have been on holiday every year, but during a 2 weeks holiday, it's more difficult to see changes of daily live costs for example.
