I am not living there yet but hope to soon. I think for me it will start out just the same is when I have been there in the past, at least for the first month or so. Here in the states my retirement is very small and if we stay here in the states, one if not both of us, will have to keep working and my health will not take much of that. I am a old fart that grew up poor and hungry and I never forgot what it was like to go to bed hungry. That makes me a sucker for the beggars. I'm thinking that my heart will harden some what when it comes to handing out my pocket change but I hope not to much. One thing I know for sure is, that if I were to become homeless there I will not have to worry about freezing to death. I don't think that I'm a penny-pinching or spendthrift I hope I'm a little of both.
