ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

MythBusters II – The Truth about FACTA & more!


MythBusters II – The Truth about FACTA and more!
What is a Fiscal Cliff anyway and who invented this nightmare to keep us at night? 

Hopefully this latest ruse is not keeping you up at night however we realize there may be other things which are…and shouldn’t.  To help dispel the rumors and get to the truth The Community Action Alliance of San Ramon is presenting their second MythBusters seminar featuring 2 of the most credible and knowledgeable legal and financial experts in Costa Rica.  The Community Action Alliance of San Ramon is thrilled to announce that legal expert Roger Petersen will be returning to San Ramon and joined by Nick Hodges, a tax and financial expert specializing in working with U.S. Citizens living abroad.  These guys are real pros and will help us better understand FACTA and U.S. tax compliance and whatever else may be keeping you up at night.
