Save Money by living offshore while working at home. If you already have a job or business that allows a home office, then you can capitalize on moving to Costa Rica to save money. The cost of living in Costa Rica is about half of what you would have to pay in the United States. Many people who work from home are self employed and thus need to pay for their own healthcare and dental costs and insurance. Healthcare costs less than half of what you would pay in the US. The costs of a dentist and doctors are also much less. In fact, many people travel to Costa Rica just to have dental and medical procedures. Taxes are much cheaper in Costa Rica than in the United States and even more so if you live in Canada. The US government gives a tax holiday to any income earned (up to a maximum of about $95,000 US dollars) outside of the United States if you live outside the US for 330 days or more each year. In simple math, if you earn $100,000 per year, you save about $30,000 per year by living outside of the US. If you are from Canada, you can save even more. Check with you tax advisor for complete details.
