Let's say someone's a spoiled American suburbanite living in some cookie-cutter upper-middle-class 4+bedroom home in the 'burbs, paying a bazillion dollars in property taxes so that his kid only ends up in school with other upper middle class white and Asian kids whose parents can afford to live in his neighborhood. And now he's spent all of his money keeping up with the Jones' buying crap from Pottery Barn and Bed Bath and Beyond that nobody needs but his wife likes, and after 20 years of mediocrity, his kids are off to college and he wants to do something adventurous by retiring somewhere exotic where his American dollars go farther.

So this guy that you definitely don't want as your neighbor, because he wouldn't be down with living in a tent growing coffee and would probably piss you off daily with his entitlement, would probably want a 2 (or more) bedroom house or condo, in a location with completely reliable electricity and internet, with a bad-ass enough kitchen to do some awesome cooking, either enough space for a home gym or close enough to walk to a public gym, and within walking (or commuting) distance of whatever the Costa Rican Wal-Mart equivalent is, so he can buy whatever he can't find locally.

How much money is Joe Suburbanite going to spend buying a residence and getting set up? And what do his monthly expenses look like? And what things is he going to have to get used to and adjust about his lifestyle?
