    1. 45
    2. 15-20 years (the sooner the better)
    3. Have a decent amount saved so far. My wife is 10 years younger than I am and on track to meet or pass my salary in the next 5 years.
    4. After our kid moves out, we'll definitely downsize but probably stay in/near our current town on the coast. Spending will all depend on how much I was able to save, how our kid's college fund is looking, etc. Too many variables, but I'd love to have an annual travel budget.

    If something goes sideways, I think Costa Rica still accepts expats as long as you can pull $2k a month out of savings :P

    • There are a lot of Americans living on the West Coast. The cost of living is low but the downside is a lot of low level crime. Mostly break-ins/burglaries...CyBrainX
    • I have a cousin that lives more inland. My wife and I visited the west coast a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to go back.aliastime
    • Is $2k a month enough to live in Costa Rica relatively safe and comfortable? That sounds like a dreamnb
