If going on 60--for most life is beginning to wind down----- one tends to live as one can afford without debt-- health tends to become more of an issue--- and patience is no longer one's primary virtue---

Lots of potential pitfalls when marrying into a Colombian family , but lots of plusses also. I have 2 stepdaughters that have been a part of my life for almost 6 years, they are 18 & 16 now and are good kids, although I am not their father I think they have more respect and appreciation for me than their fathers. I have 2 kids of my own and kind of regretted not having 3, little did i know that I weould add 3 stepdaughters and a granddaughter , ther oldest lives in Medellin with her daughter, we support them and I figure the wife will get them to Floirida in 2 to 3 years once she becomes a citizen.

$900 US sounds pretty steep. Outrageous. I can get you a better deal ,with probably better results. But if you paid already, probably too late. If not, give me a PM. Anyway, I dont think she will forgive you if she loses her kid. But I highly doubt this will happen, aa the courts highly favour the women in child custody in Colombia. Unless the lawyer knows the Judge, like you say, then you have your work cut out. As far as going into your savings, at your age you should. Spend it all and enjoy. You want your heirs to be spoiled by money they didnt earn and fighting over your estate like a bunch of gouls? Spend your money, enjoy it, dont leave a nickel,make sure it is clear you have spent it all, otherwise anyone in the US,Germany or Colombia who feels they are "entitled" willl be with their hands in your pockets before your body gets cold. Thats my philosophy anyway.

If you are tight with your money probably best not to get in a serious relationship with a woman with kids in Colombia, there will always be some demands no matter how thrifty they may be., not criticizing Oz, he seems capable and willing to help , but just a thought for others who may be thinking of taking the plunge

Some guys go to Colombia and do the GFE (Girlfriend Experience), while others do the BBE (Brady Bunch Experience)

Haha - had not heard BBE before, just remember the actor who played the father in the show turned out to be gay, ( not that there is anything wrong with that), I guess I will have to watch myserlf a bit, if I start liking show tunes and become neat and orderly I will be a bit concerned.
