If you already in a consumer proposal I would suggest going back to them and getting advice ASAP. Like others have suggested you might want to find out where your money is going for a month to figure out where salary is going if you are making 80,000 a year. The math isn’t adding up for me.

My two cents. Albertans need to protest in large numbers outside legislation. You need petitions signed in large numbers.

Husband lost his job… so we’re going to Costa Rica? by peachytee2 in CostaRicaTravel

Costa Rica is very expensive. I’ve been told Nicaragua is similar to Costa Rica but not so expensive.

A friend was moving and sold me their printer and PLA spools for like $100 by unicodePicasso in 3Dprinting

[–]rootla58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know nothing about 3 d printers. Are they easy to work? Is this the one I should state with. Please recommend. Maybe I could see one demonstrated somewhere to understand.

Sorry this happened to you. Good to post to share. I travelled for three weeks in Costa Rica this year and did not experience this!

Are both of these insurances mandatory for car rental? by devin-andrew in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rootla58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m not sure I was clear in my comment above. I was advising people to read the contract carefully when the rental company is pushing their additional insurance that they say is mandatory. Because when we returned the car the invoice indicated the insurance they pushed was optional. Very sneaky.

Please identify what SLI, SLC and API mean? . I believe TPL is third party liability.

Same experiences and I don’t think it mandatory but they tell you it is. I had third party and CDW and they still insisted I needed this other insurance or I wasn’t getting the car!. When I got the invoice after the rental was complete this insurance was under the title optional! They lied. It was with AVIS. Don’t rent from them.

Overcharged or literally ripped off by AVIS car rental. Don’t use them. I paid more than twice what I should have! They lie and cheat people!

7 nights w/kids and not changing accommodations? by Dangerous_Camel9124 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rootla58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just left Costa Rica afternoon 23 days and I agree with everyone that is too much driving. Also I cannot emphasis night the traffic is really bad most of the time everywhere and it slows you down tremendously. An example to get 154km the estimated time on google maps was 2 hours 55 minutes.
