Tank Tops Flip Flops Newsletter edition no. 93

Just recently I have had 3 clients pass away, may they Rest in Peace. Two of the three did not have a Costa Rican will and are dealing with some inconvenient circumstances. I tell ALL of my clients that it is imperative that you have a Last Will and Testament, even if you just own a car as it is not a tremendous amount of money to set one up; My condolences to the families. Please talk to your attorney.

This particular newsletter is a little bit of a negative political rant. So if you are already tired of the US election, maybe you should just put this one aside. Also, if you are of the opinion that everything is Hunky Dory and our current administration is doing a wonderful job running the world you definitely don’t want to read this; just hit delete and get on with your day. But if you are like 90% of my clients, who are embarrassed and scared by the direction we are heading then this Newsletter is just for you. Grab a cup of coffee, have a seat, buckle up and hold on; this is gonna be one heck of a ride.

Quality Time Left.  I was recently in the USA and Canada again visiting some friends, watching sports; the only reason I really go back anymore truthfully. I do my best to avoid North America from October to April as I just flat out, despise the winter. But the NHL and NFL are played in cold weather and they are two of my favorite sports so I suck it up for the sake of satisfying my cravings, and I try my best not to complain. My friends are all tired of hearing how awesome my life is, how gorgeous the weather is, and what an amazing place Costa Rica is to live, and they really hate when I bash the city they happen to live in; “What a dump!”  But heh; that’s their problem, not mine. They could come join me in paradise, just like you can, but for some reason, so many people just postpone. It is incredible how many people email me, looking for info, inquiring about properties, that I know are NEVER going to come here. There are so many of them that just keep torturing themselves, week in and week out, pretending that someday they will live the life, but never put a plan into place. Maybe they don’t have the fortitude, or the guts to pack up and come; maybe they are all talk and no action; I don’t know. But they keep scouring my website, reading my newsletters, sending me posts; “Don’t give up on me yet, Michael, I am coming.” Dreams just don’t COME true people; you have to MAKE them become a reality. Every time, it is one excuse or another; kids, college tuition, work, the Canadian dollar; blah blah blah. Thanks for the update, I tell them, and I go back to living the dream. They are in the bottom of a rut and won’t ever get out. But as I found out this past week, it can all be over in a minute. Would you be satisfied with your life if it was?
