Hey everyone. I'm trying to figure out what the cost of living is in the DR. Below I've posted some indicators and if you guys could post what you pay for the services, or have paid, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to get a good group of answers in order to get a "national average." The hope is to have a sticky so that newbies have an idea of what costs are as they prepare the move here. Please also state where you are from in the DR, other important indicators and extraneous costs.
Cheers,
Mr. Lu
