Retire in Belize, Pure Paradise

The dream of cashing in and soaring off into the sunset to live the life of luxury in a tropical paradise may be closer than you think. Unlike 30 years ago the baby boomer generation has set themselves up for a luxurious lifestyle in retirement. Couple the savings habits of this generation with a boom in American equity values and access to foreign low cost countries and you have the settings for a dream retirement in a tropical paradise.

So how about moving to Belize, retiring in Fiji or sailing on the coast of Costa Rica? All are possible if you consider you financial opportunities in living the life of geographic arbitrage. What exactly does that mean? It means, taking financial assets and income from one geographic location, such as the United States and spending those earnings in another location, such as Central America or Mexico.

How can this be done? Quite simply actually. All of this is possible due to the lower average cost of living in Belize and other countries in Central America. Even modest blue collar Americans have been able to get property rich due to the recent housing boom. So if your house value is 300,000 o 400,000 dollars you could be living the high life in tropical paradise. Cashing in that equity and then buying property in Belize or even renting a vacation home in the tropics isn’t as expensive as you might think. Try $450 a month on for size. Most of us can handle those kind of payments, especially when you consider that you’ve unlocked the equity in your home.
