[DRlearning]

Hello to all,

I am new to the forum, I hope all my questions are not an inconvenience and any help offered will be very much appreciated as I consider the possibility of relocation from the USA to the DR.

I am wondering which finance houses (or other sources) are the best to deal with for dollar investments in commercial paper in the DR with the idea of a relatively safe and sensible retirement income plan? Also, how much cash is really needed, in US Dollars, to entirely fund and investment plan to provide a comfortable, if quiet, life in the DR, home, car, household help, medical care, everything.

I am also wondering if any one has information about living in the cooler mountain climates rather than on the beach in the hotter areas where I am told English speaking is far rarer, as I only speak English, will I be helpless away from the beach and does anyone have any suggestions as to where in the high-country an American might be happiest and best served by location? How long is the travel time from the beach areas to the upland areas?

Any and all information, suggestions, contact information of any kind will be very helpful and appreciated.

Thank you all.
