Listen,
I don?t know you or your family but what I am learning is that you are going to get negativity or positivity depending on whether or not that person is having a bad day.
I moved here with 3 kids........by my f****ing self (meaning without a man), and was called all kinds of names and given all kinds of negativity when I found this site.
I came to DR with very little money, compared to some other posters here. In fact, the downstairs of my house still is not furnished. I have a living room upstairs with the bedrooms so the kids barely care.
My kids go to an International private school (my biggest cost), I live in a very nice house in a nice neighborhood, I shop at the Supermercados and the malls, and my children have never dumpster dived (is dived a word
?). I have averaged that (not counting the buying of furniture), I will spend approx. $2,500 per month. And that is only because I am lazy and take taxis everywhere. When I am in a good mood or not in a hurry I take public cars.
I live in a house comparable to mine in the US, eat the same food (a little more rice), and shop like I did there on less. My rent in the US was $1,400
But then again, I am more barrio than most posters and I do not have screens in my windows or air conditioning or need a full-time maid (I am looking for one part-time though:squareeye).
Depends on what you want, and how you want to live but just listen to the negativity, take the advice out of it and keep on trucking because if I had listened to some of these people, I'd be moving in the year 2015!
BTW................I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
MY KIDS LOVE IT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
NO PLANS OF LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck!
