Why Investing in Costa Rica Makes Sense

You don’t want to put your money in a bank where you get no return.  The Stock market is way too risky.  What about US real estate? Forget it. It’s going to take a decade to turn around.

But Costa Rica, on the other hand, has everything an investor wants:

A stable democratic country

Very little crime

Fantastic infrastructure

Low taxes

Low carrying costs

And most importantly – They welcome foreigners

People ask me all the time “Why live in Costa Rica?”  and I say Why not?  Tell me where else?

You can’t live in the Caribbean, too many hurricanes and high cost of living.  Most people can’t afford Hawaii.  Mexico and the other Central American countries are way too dangerous.  And who wants to stay in the USA?

With the taxes as high as they are, and about to get higher, forget it – You can’t afford to retire.  Not to mention the cost of living, insurance, crime – you get the picture.

But Costa Rica is perfect!

Playa Hermosa School Backpack Program 2017

Once again the community of Playa Hermosa has pitched in to give all the local students of the Playa Hermosa Public School a Back Pack full of School Supplies, Uniforms – everything they need to start out the year on a positive note.

The School Principal spoke a few words to the Students before giving the Backpacks to the Students.

The rough translation is this:

“The Local Community has opened their hearts to give each of you all the supplies you need for the school year and you should thank them for that.  But the best thanks that you can give is to do well in school, study hard and apply yourself to learn all you can to be a good person”

This year, with the help of the local community through the Playa Hermosa Residents Association, the school just inaugurated a new English Classroom.

School starts February 6th this year with 61 Students, up from 55 last year.  FOR THE FIRST TIME 6 non Costa Rican kids have enrolled in the School this year.  This is a long way from the little shack they started with to what is now a beautiful, organized and positive place for Students to want to come and learn.

Thank you to everyone who donated the time and money to help the school continue to grow.

Special Thanks to Carrie Enfield the Chairman of the Playa Hermosa School Committee of the Playa Hermosa Residents Association and of course Gary Lindquist the long time supporter of all causes great and small.

Until next year!
