So happy for you three. Thanks for sharing your update with us. Your videos helped us decide to move to Costa Rica. We have been here for about two years as well. Thanks for updating.
I was just in Costa Rica July 2024. My dentist is located in hospital Cima. I love Avenida escazu. So I know the area that you are speaking of I too would love to move to Costa Rica. I am retired I have a home in Florida I am a San Antonio native. I will continue to watch your UA-cam channel to learn more I did inquire about rent and housing while I was there I will be coming back again to finish my dental work very affordable.
@@BloggingMoneyLife Thank you so much! The channel has a long way to go, but we've definitely seen more success in the past month. Can't wait to see where we end up at the end of the year.
Is it just me, or had the baby picked up there mothers epicanthic fold? Always intresting to see what traits are and aren’t different with kids, and congratulations on settling in! Costa Rica is your home! ❤
Thanks so much Pablo! You have always been an inspiration to us and your relocation services have definitely contributed to the success we’ve had in moving to this country.
Oh my goodness, this is soooooooooo inspiring and exciting!!!! My family are also planning a move to CR next Spring!!! Congratulations on your progress, and THANK YOUUUUUU for sharing your experiences🙏🏾 Our children are 13 and 8, and they LOVE baseball and theater. We’re coming to scout areas outside the city center- are there any areas that you would recommend…..?
We are so happy you enjoyed our update 😃 We love the Central Valley, particularly Santa Anna and Escazu. You may want to look into Grecia as well, it’s beautiful and quiet living in a cooler climate.
Hi! Firstly, congratulations on the move and the house. I’m a very good friend of your uncle Ron. He forwarded this video to me. I have a few questions. Is there a way we can communicate easier than here? Thank you!
Being able to move to Escazu sounds privileged as hell. Most middle-class people in Costa Rica could never afford it, which is why Escazu is so gentrified. You moved into the Hamptons of San José.
Escazú offers a lot more than just the area around Multiplaza. Many diverse neighborhoods, including those around Escazú Central, have all levels of income. Gentrification in places like San Rafael started over 40 years ago with wealthier Costa Ricans moving in from the city. It’s important to appreciate the diversity within Escazú and avoid making blanket statements.
I ask this as it is a trending topic in Costarican media and politics. Do you have any opinion regarding the gentrification issue that is peaking in there right now? Thank you.
None actually. As a black woman I’ve not really experienced any racism of any sort here. Not to say that it does not exist here - it exists everywhere obviously. But prior to moving to CR I did not know it was possible to go whole years without experiencing it. 😊
I just hope you are paying taxes and supporting local businesses because if not, I will politely ask you to leave :) Gentrification is a real f*cked up problem that has been affecting Costa Rica for years now. So many costaricans have to leave because we can't afford the living cost of our country, prices keep going up and up and salaries are going down and down. The government only cares about selling properties and giving accommodations to foreigners who are independent when people are literally dying of hunger and there is not enough economic flow. The government don't care about us. F*vking nepotism and corruption is all we get. I sure know this because I am one of those people trying to escape this situation. I have not eaten a real meal for the past 2 days. Only water and cookies.
Gentrification. Living in Escazu where rich people live, the baby was born in the Hospital Cima, a Hospital for rich people, having a nanny, only rich people can afford that.
Purchasing a pre-existing home in an affluent neighborhood is not gentrification. Supporting the private healthcare sector and providing employment that pays a living wage, reduces the strain on an already overburdened public resources and contributes to the local economy.
@christopherdrown3817 Part of Gentrification is when rich white people come to a third world country and buy a house that most of the local population would never be able to afford. What you are doing is Gentrification. Also, bold of you to assume that private hospitals pay living wages to their employees.
@@Minicheeze The term "Third World country" is outdated and pejorative. Costa Rica is more accurately classified as a developing country with an emerging economy. Many people who work at private hospitals earn a living wage, often higher than what is offered in the public sector, depending on their role and experience. Regarding the living wage, I was referring to what we pay our son's nanny to help care for him so we can work. Speaking of work, 100% of our income is generated from outside Costa Rica, and the majority is invested into the local economy, including various taxes on income, property, luxury, IVA, and more. It’s “bold” to judge our intentions based on a video alone. I recommend looking up the definitions of "gentrification" and "xenophobia" while you’re at it. Perhaps it will give you clearer understanding.
The only real way to make Costa Rica a GREAT place to live is by having a universal, global living wage. Employment that either pays a living wage or allow employees to be co op owners of companies with shared profits. It is a system that can work if we resist greed.
Not easy , but you guys made it. 🇨🇷👏🇨🇷.
"Blessed is the Costa Rican mother, who knows at the time of birth that her child will never be a soldier".
Congratulations on your new baby, new house and paradise living!!! ✨💖🇨🇷✨
So cool. I live in Escazu as well, since I moved to Costa Rica. Just love it here :)

Thank you! If you have Facebook you can send a message to Blogging Money Life or send an email to bloggingmoneylife@gmail.com
Luca is so darn cuteeeee!!!
So darn cute! 😊
I can't help but wonder why you guys have moved to Costa Rica. Does this mean that you're financially independent?
Being able to move to Escazu sounds privileged as hell. Most middle-class people in Costa Rica could never afford it, which is why Escazu is so gentrified. You moved into the Hamptons of San José.
As a costarican, I confirm this comment is correct
Escazú offers a lot more than just the area around Multiplaza. Many diverse neighborhoods, including those around Escazú Central, have all levels of income. Gentrification in places like San Rafael started over 40 years ago with wealthier Costa Ricans moving in from the city.

How much was the house? I thought the cost of living was cheaper than the U.S.? If you don’t mind me asking..
What part of the country is the new house in?
We are in Escazu a district in the Central Valley just outside of San Jose Costa Rica’s capital city.
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys am from Houston and was looking to see if you guys have any email for contacting you. Thanks.
Sure! Reach out to us via our website bloggingmoneylife.com
I am half of an interracial couple too. Have you had any racial problems in CR?
None actually. As a black woman I’ve not really experienced any racism of any sort here. Not to say that it does not exist here - it exists everywhere obviously. But prior to moving to CR I did not know it was possible to go whole years without experiencing it. 😊
Can you work in Costa Rica
I just hope you are paying taxes and supporting local businesses because if not, I will politely ask you to leave :)

Ese es el problema! Llegan los extranjeros y somos los ticos que sufrimos. Tiquicia ha cambiado tanto. 😢😢😢
