Panama ... Your Best Value for Offshore Living (PDF Download)

Is this some Mythical Country?

Absolutely not!

Many tropical developing countries have overall lower costs of living and real estate than Panama. In fact, you could probably live very well on 5-15% of your current North American retirement budget in Ecuador, Uruguay, Belize, Argentina, Thailand, or even Nicaragua where you could purchase or build a comfortable home for as little as $20,000 to $50,000. Every country is a compromise but you can take some comfort that Offshorewave, AARP, Fortune Magazine, and many prestigious publications have written very favorably about Panama.

But Panama, on balance, has a significant edge ... in my opinion.

Panama was chosen as the “best country in the world” to live by International Living … in fact six times in a row. The Editor of International Living has in fact decided that she and her husband will move to Panama by early 2007.

If “offshore living” is potentially an option for your retirement contingency planning, then this book will give you the "big picture".
