Retirement Abroad
Retiring abroad is not for everyone. It takes a certain kind of person to leave his or her country for retirement in another one, even one close to home. The primary reason that people retire in another country is to find a lower cost of living. Many South American and Central American countries, including Costa Rica, Belize, Uruguay and Panama, offer just that. It is true that many parts of these countries have been "discovered" and are nearly as expensive as areas of the U.S. and Canada. Yet it is still possible to find reasonably priced spots where real estate remains affordable. As is the case in most countries, property near the water usually costs more than property inland.
People considering retirement abroad are also often looking for a less stressful lifestyle, warmer climate and universal health care. While life in the U.S. and Canada offers conveniences and opportunities not found in large swaths of the world, a stressful and hectic lifestyle often go with them. And by retirement time, many folks just want a place where they can relax, sit back and watch the waves, leaving the trials and tribulations of modern life to others.
Often people travel to a foreign country on vacation and think that the country would be a great place to retire. This may indeed be true, but vacationing in a country for two weeks is much different from living there day to day and using the local public transportation, learning the language and being completely immersed in the culture. Make sure that you have extensively researched the local ways and customs before making any permanent move. Better yet, rent a house for six months before relocating to a new country to make sure that it is the right place you.
