A quick thought (calculation).... We either walk here or ride my motor. I keep thinking about how much we pay in gas here. It's $5 or so a gallon. How much is it in the States now? So, to fill up my motor it takes 500 pesos or about $13 American dollars. Now, we have had the motor for one and 1/3 months. I have filled up 1 time so that's $13 dollars. Insurance companies don't run the country here so we are not forced to have insurance. So here it goes.....
Dominican Republic: $13 dollars a month
United States: Gas $35 a week in the car + $50 a week for the van + $75 a month for basic insurance.
Car - 35 x 4 = $140
Van - 50 x 4 = $200
Insurance - $75
Grand total - $415 per month
Anybody want a beer? There's a round comin' on me because I just saved myself $402 this month (and no, not with Geico!).
