Indeed, and as you know, Canada is one of my favorite places, but...
it's a tad cool for my taste. I have a retired buddy who moved to Costa
Rica a few years ago, bought himself a small coffee plantation for under
$100,000, and plays at farmer and fishing guide. Costa Rica is pretty
stable and the weather is great.
snip..

A buddy of mine, who has pretty well lived in the Caribbean since 1979
always said Costs Rica would be a good place to move to. At one time, all
you needed to immigrate was to show an income of $ 1000.00 per month. That
figure might be $2500./month or so now but still reasonable.

Whether or not that figure is reasonable depends on what your source
of income is. If the best job you get there only pays $300/week, you
might have a problem.

It's all relative.
