I am looking into it. IMO it is worth it. I found a nice house on an island for 65K. No jobs to be had whatsoever down there. I could retire in a remote area/island with a big ass yacht and catch some real fish and burn a ton of fuel for next to nothing. I'd keep a small place in the US to come back to to visit during peak season here. Burn most of my gas down there.... his fuel thing is over the top. 12 cents a gallon!!?...They are probably still making money at that rate too. I'll have to vacation down there a few times to check it out. Fishing looks pretty darn good though. PS electric costs are next to nothing too. The infrastructure sucks and power can and does go out from time to time but the cost for a big place is like 50 bucks per month, a few cents per KWH. You can hire a couple of locals for 285/month too...unreal.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Or 3 ... I'll be the live in handyman and deckhand to earn my keep.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
