Where do they get the cost of living prices from. And why does the show not factor in the cost of the private health care they need to have. Seems to me they e pect it all to be a bed od roses. Well it isn't. You still have to work for what you want. Nice to have a pool etc but you need to keep iit clean and buy the stuff to keep it clean. Beaches are great, if you live near one or are willing to drive for an ho u r to get there in traffic.
