I am an Afro-American and will be retiring in a few years. I will be coming down to DR later this year on vacation. My cousin and I are looking for a great place to retire and stretch our dollars. I will be receiving approx $3000US per month in pension. Would like to know if this amount will sustain me if my house or condo is already paid for. The other issue for me is racism, and how black americans, or blacks ingeneral are treated there.
