I have been reading other threads but, have not found the answers to my questions about why people live here and more importantly, why do they stay living here. When as an american at any time you can just pick up and leave and go back to america or better yet any other country.

I lived in the dr from 1990 to 1997 and at that time I took a drastic decision in my life and took a flight and came to live in the dr without ever even being here before. I lived here off of my savings and investments from the US not much to brag about but, was enough to live here at that time. I enrolled in a school here and I did some business and stayed here untill I finshed my school and made enough money to return to the states. I remember that even though I stayed, I really knew that the only thing keeping me here was my commitment to finish my school that I had started and the lure of money that I was making here but, not really much else to be honest. I eventually returned to the states and opened a business and have been in business ever since and I also did real estate investment and was in the construction business.

I will be honest though I have have never been completely happy living in the states after I left the dr and I have been to costa rica and honduras many times thinking as an alternative place to leave america and re-establish myself but, I did not really like them for living. The only country I really like is colombia however, I do not think it is a good place to do business IMHO but, a nice place to live if you are retired and have income.

I now find myself wanting to return to the dr to live and do business here again even though there was a lot of things I did not like about the dr back then there were also many things that I did like and I still miss about the dr. Call it a strange love and hate relationship however, it just might quite possibly be that the dr was where I was most happy in my life and my destiny to return is marked in my life.

The bottom line is why are you living here and the reasons why do you stay living here. What keeps you here, as we are all know the dr can be a very nice place to live but, it also can be a very frustrating and hard place to live at times so what are the main reasons you stayed. Was it economical or family or love of a women,child etc???
