This one needs reply
DON MELLINGERMemberThere is a previous hot spots that never received a response.
DON MELLINGERMemberWhat percentage of the population can afford and does hire a maid at the current going rate?
DON MELLINGERMemberMakes sense, but if the maid can get all gringos at the higher price then why not slowly replace the Ecuadorians with gringos? Is this not the epitome of capitalism and a free economic society?
DON MELLINGERMemberI have a question about what Suzan just wrote about tipping, warning not to break the society norms. How would anyone know if you paid your maid $15 for 3 hours work instead of the normal $10? Would locals actually hike the prices on her just because she works for a gringo? Don’t you pay her in cash?
DON MELLINGERMemberthank you
DON MELLINGERMemberHow very informative, don’t like the message, kill the messenger. So what is the truth, or you just got sarcasm?
DON MELLINGERMemberAccording to Fox News, burglaries and robberies were up 30% in Ecuador in 2012 compared to 2011.
DON MELLINGERMemberThe only negative I heard recently was a presidential candidate getting pepper sprayed and robbed.
DON MELLINGERMemberIt is $800 plus $100 for each dependent, so a couple with no children would need proof of $900 a month income.
DON MELLINGERMemberYou can withdraw your funds from an IRA account at any age, but before you are 59 1/2 it causes a 10% early withdrawal penalty on your form 1040. I cannot imagine they would allow you to roll over an IRA into a local bank, perhaps you could just take a $25,000 distribution from the IRA. It would seem an IRA could not be considered as monthly income, for you are not required to take any distributions until age 70 1/2, and iRAs’ can lose a great deal of value, depending on how the money is invested. Perhaps if there is an annuity within the IRA pumping out the required $800/month plus $100 per dependent it could be considered. Hope someone here can fill in the blanks for you. Good luck in your escape attempt from Nevada!!
