Enjoy the way many local and expats help new arrivals with advice and assistance. My wife and I currently live in Los Angeles, CA (no kids) and expect to retire in a few years with a couple of pensions allowing for 5k (maybe more) a month for expenses. You offer great advice for living well and living frugally, we are looking overseas because of large CA state tax on our retirement income.
Where would the forum recommend living in Panama with our budget that offered an expat community of North Americans and/or Europeans? Sea or mountains? Car or no vehicle, close to Panama City or remote? We transited Panama several times looking for retirement spots in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia and Costa Rica but never took a look here-yet. Your insight is welcomed.
