Family Move

7 years ago
Good morning,
I am looking to move my wife and child to Nic later this year. I was thinking of doing a tour but also wanted to see if I could connect with a local expat for some time during our visit. I have been reading anything and everything about Nic and I honestly feel like the opinions are equally mixed. I am retired (although only 32) and make 3k plus a month for the rest of my life. I only mention that because it seems that everyone is compari by their experience on a 1200 to 1500 a month budget. My key questions are:
- Is a 3k a month budget ACTUALLY something that my family can live on?
-My son is school age and I have looked at a number of schools that cater to families such as hours. However, can anyone tell me the actual cost and quality of homeschool?
-healthcare is another concern. I have read that modern healthcare is available but I want to know what Is considered "modern" in the since of treatment options? Also, is dentistry something that is "modern" as well?

I understand that no place is without it's poverty and from what I have read, a large portion of the Nic population is poor. On this post, please do not comment with the "scary" stuff. I don't need to know that theft and robery are high and that without a support system you will struggle. This is true in most countries that have high poverty rates. Some things take time and that's why I am here. I would like to connect with a couple of expats and really dig into the true costs and reality of living there. I never have to work again, so finding work or starting a business is not even on my radar. I simply want to live and enjoy my family and life in a way that the U.S. can no longer provide me.

Thank you in advance for responding and I hope that we connect soon.
