coastal gringo comments on Which banks can transfer money to Colombia?

My transfres to Davivienda take about 20 minutes from the time I initiate the transfer in the US until it is in my account here and any bank in the US can transfer to youracount here. I have been doing this for five years without any problems.

months and months I believe Dr. Kervorkian is still around somewhere and that he could probably help you out with this problem. He might be in jail at the moment but you could write to him and he could give you some decent advice. Hope this helps.

coastal gringo comments on Just curious

A few reasons Panda,

I do not know where you now live but I can give you many examples of why I have chosen to live in Colombia. What is your reaction, where you now live, when a police car pulls up behind you as you drive down the road? Have you ever received a letter from the IRS or tax authorities where you now live? Have you ever tried to start your own business in compliance with all of the various city, state, and federal laws? Can you tell your wife that you are going out for a few beers with your friends? Do you have a maid? Are your parents in an old folk’s home or are they living in your home with affordable help? Do you eat lunch every day at home with your entire family? How much do you pay a month in health insurance for you and your family, if you are in the US? Just a few reasons why I am here and not where you are.

You are required to report to the Army if you are under the age of 50. Just go by any base and talk to them and they will give you all of the facts and you won't have to rely on hearsay. Good luck

You will be required to report for military service to either be conscripted or receive a card that exempts you from military service.

coastal gringo comments on Question for the FOREX EXPERTS

Financial Advice This is probably not the best place to ask for financial advice but in my humble opinion the US dollar has the most to gain against the peso. The US economy is much stronger than Europe's at the moment and should continue to strengthen over the next 12 months. It is also the easiest to exchange in Latin America. Gold would be the worst place to put it as it has reached a peak.

For what it is worth and good luck!
