My name is Vin and I currently live in S Florida. I am thinking of retiring in Dr but apart from a short visit years ago in the SE which absolutely gave me no clue to real life in DR.
How do you find living in DR? i have read forums about retiring in DR but worry about potable water, food & health care in DR..
Do you find it worthwhile to retire or live in North part of the country on long time basis?
Would appreciate your thoughts on this ..
Regards
Vin
PS my wife is not in favor of this .but i want to see if it willbe cheaper to retire in DR than here in US..
