My wife and I have been taking exploring trips around the islands for a couple of years and we are about to pull the trigger to move to a much cheaper location (Maybe Panama!).

I own a business and some real estate in Texas and I am sick of the way things are going. Every year our governments find a way to raise the price a good 3-5% on everything. Be it money printing or flat out tax raising, they find a way. My town just built an $80 million dollar sports complex for the three local high schools to use!

Yep, you saw that number correct Hilarski and Stackin. It's not $8 million, it's $80 million!

For a bunch of teenagers! And of course they borrowed the money on bond.

And for this they raised all my property taxes the maximum 10% and they will do it again next year. Oh, and they passed a law to where they are now adding sales tax to our utility bills. So add 8.125% to that.

This is every year they do this.

My wife and I look forward to our ex-pat life!
