Costa Rica Cost of Living Update: 32 oz box of McCormick Chicken Stock— $7
Would you like to know what it’s like to quit your job and move to Costa Rica? And would you like the person telling you this to have a New Jersey accent? Well, you’re in luck!
I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by the host at Fearless Rebelle Radio, the fabulous Summer Innanen. It was a lot of fun and Summer has a delightful Canadian speaking voice. I, on the other hand, sound like I should be an extra on the Sopranos… like a consigliere or the bookkeeper at a labor union.
We discuss why I moved to Costa Rica and the reasons I stayed and made it my home. Not everything has worked out as planned, but it has definitely been a hilarious ride.

Hi Nadine,
I just stumbled on to your website, great site and very interesting podcast. My wife and I retired early (we retired at 50 years old) and we now travel and embrace lots of new hobbies. I chronicle my post-retirement journey at http://www.WeBeTripping.com. I haven’t been to Costa Rica yet, but it is on our bucket list.
In between travels and golfing, one of the things I have been working on lately is writing a mobile app that allows soon-to-be retirees to countdown the days to freedom! The basic app will be free and will work on iPhone and Android, here’s a quick video that shows it in action:

I’m inviting a small number of people to provide feedback regarding the app during our beta phase and with your background, it would be great to have you participate. Our first beta is scheduled for September 1. It would be really great if you could participate in the beta. It won’t take a lot of your time but will be valuable to get that critical early feedback.
Interested? Sign up at http://www.CountUsDown.com/Retirement and I will notify you once the beta is ready for your input.
All the best,

Thanks for checking out my blog Smiller. Good luck with your app, sounds pretty cool!
Hola Nadine, Just listened to the Podcast, as you know we moved here 8 months ago, only
regret, we waited until 70 to do so.
We are volunteering at an orphanage, takings Spanish lessons, I went to the Hot Springs and
fell because I use a cane, but am ready to go again………
Love it here and love listening to you, I still have your quilt, guess it will be a housewarming
gift.

Hi Linda! Thanks for listening. Sounds like you have a full schedule and having quite the pura vida life here in Costa Rica.
