Hello - I'm currently 37, live in FL. I am down to Panama, Belize or Costa Rica as my choices to retire to in 2018. I am trying to find the best place that would be good for a mellinial retirement. It seems most programs for expat retirees don't help me at my age.
So I look at facing the following:
- not being free of import taxes due not qualifying for certain programs
- not getting discounts / benefits (Panama program sounds great!)
- don't have a pension but have funds that exceed the minimum
- trying to find a place that will grow with me as my interests surely will change
- still interested in quality healthcare for some time to come
- also seeking English language countries or good size pockets of speakers
Are there ways to get around some of these obstacles? Is one place better than another if I can't get these program benefits?
Belize for a mellinial retirement
I might be wrong, but I doubt you and Belize would be a good long term match.
I plan to take a 1-2 week trip. It is a concern of mine too long term. But wasn't sure if one of the 3-5 popular areas might work. Are you there currently Will?
Yeah. I agree with Will. Belize is awesome in so many ways, but you're several years from getting around import duties. And healthcare here is fine for us, but specialized stuff is rare or non existent.
