Ready to retire - but what country?
My husband and I (he is retired0 are ready to go some place--but where. What are the tax and residence ramifications. I would also like to return to the U.S. for approx. upto 6 months of the year. But if we return, how best to get and pay for REASONABLE health insurance throughout the year (regardless of when we are over seas).
I have read International living and just subscribed to their newsletter. All information and suggestions can only be helpful.

Invest, Retire or Relax Overseas
More Senior living citizens are looking for properties Overseas these days either to invest or retire. Most of them are interested in beachfront properties where they can relax and enjoy their retired life. Cost of living, health insurance all these are becoming more expensive and senior citizens are choosing low cost living by purchasing properties overseas. Some senior citizens are also looking into second homes or vacation homes overseas. More expats are travelling to their hometown and willing to settle for a relaxed retirement.

I'm not sure why there is so little activity in this group considering the Cost of Living advantages to living overseas.
Oh well, I thought what the hey, I'd join anyway.

Hello from Inside Mexico
Hi everyone! I'm the publisher of Inside Mexico, which is the most widely distributed English language magazine in Mexico. Each month we publish information on Mexican news, culture, travel arts and current events, plus info that English speakers need (Real Estate, Health, Banking) to move to and live in Mexico.
If you go to www.insidemex.com, you can download free PDF copies of back issues of the magazine. In June, we'll be relaunching the site with more tools and content. Also we have a free weekly e-newsletter called The Tip with info of interest to people living in Mexico, moving to Mexico, and visiting Mexico. And, every three months we publish a Real Estate Supplement with practical info designed to answer questions of people who are considering Mexico for retirement.
Please feel free to give us a shout! Email thetip@insidemex.com.
Cheers,
Margot Lee Shetterly

Which country?
I found International Living's list of countries that the are on "their radar screen." The list includes Argentina, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Honduras, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Romania, Spain, Thailand.
Here is the link.....http://www.internationalliving. com/about_il
Looking over the list I was surprised that Belize, Costa Rica, Czech Republic were not on there. I had expected Belize, Czech Republic, and Costa Rica to be on there. I also started thinking of what countries had I not expected to be on the list that might be worth exploring, such as Africa, Morocco, the Philippines, Nepal, Cambodia, India, or Vietnam.
Here is the link to my blog where I am keeping track of what I find.....http://globalretirementvillage. blogspot.com/

Hi!
I just joined this group, and am beginning to explore other options since Social Security is such a joke. I am considering relocating to another country in order to live as comfortably as possible on the little that I make. I am open to areas (except the Middle East, thank you), and had thought about Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Central or South America. Any info on these places would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi, I just joined this group and would like to hear from anyone who has already tried living overseas and how it went. I am interested in New Zealand but not sure I could make the adjustment to starting over in a foreign country. Plan to try a long visit first (as I have a family member living there) to see what I think, but that is still not the same as taking the big step of actually moving there. Thanks!
Central America
For those interested in what I consider to be the best information available on Central American retirement, check out these two sources:
1. Panama - The Owner's Manual (through International Living)
2. view link - the guy who runs this site is named Richard, and he has an incredible online publication for potential settlers
I am looking closely at the Lake Atitlan area in the Guatemala highlands. Spent a month there this past summer, and decided it is as close to a natural paradise as I can find. It is not as developed as Costa Rica, Mexico, or Panama; but I am looking for a slower pace with an economy that won't break the bank. If anyone is interested in finding out more about this "land of eternal spring," hit me up!
