It's affordable:  Panama.

Take a look why people are choosing Panama today

  • It's close to the U.S.; less than three hours from Miami on an inexpensive flight
  • Panama boasts high quality health care at a fraction of what you'd pay in the U.S.
  • The government offers the world's best retiree discount and benefit program
  • Panama uses the U.S. dollar, protecting its residents from the dollar's decline
  • Panama is geographically diverse, with mountains, beaches, the region's largest percentage of unspoiled rain forest, and good city living. The property market is liquid, and has provided good rental and capital returns
  • The people are lovely, friendly and welcoming ... the #1 reason for settling here

And the best part? You can relax ... knowing that your retirement is comfortable and secure, and that your money will stretch a long way.

In Panama you can get a haircut, take a taxi, or enjoy a complete (and healthy) meal for $3, or go to a movie for $4. You can rent a condominium in the city or a house near the beach for $500 a month. A full-time live-in maid, nanny, or elder-assistant (should you want one) will cost you less than $300 a month. Health care costs are ridiculously low, too...at least when compared with the U.S. ($6-$20 for a doctor's visit, $10 for blood tests, etc.)

As you are thinking about an overseas relocation destination, keep this in mind: Panama is an easy place to move to. It's safe, stable (both financially and politically), and inexpensive. It's very progressive in terms of its educational, cultural, health care, and general lifestyle offerings. And it offers-to both its citizens and foreigners-one of the most generous retirement programs in the world.
