I have read articles about Americans retiring to Nicaragua to get more bang for the buck. Looks like that was a bad decision.

Only a retired social studies teacher from California would think retiring to Nicaragua was a good idea.

Yet, you’ll read paradisaical prose on FR from expats in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Panama, Mexico, etc., who never seem to think that their world can blow up.

My wife and I are both 64. We read all the articles about ex-patriating to live like a king and queen. But people forget that these countries don’t have the stability of the US, nor the undying love/protection of American citizens.
So we did the next best thing. We “ex-patriated” from seattle to a farm in south-central Kentucky. The cost of living for retirees is a fraction of what it is in Seattle. And a huge part of that benefit is the taxes.

A real Bang is on target .
We laugh at the HGTV morons buying retirement homes in
this 3 rd world hell hole or Mexico or Panama or Ecuador .
These hell holes can nationalize and take the property in a flash.
Ortega probably plans to do that . Good olde HGTV keeps promoting this reckless behavior.

Ah, the joy of being a US ex-patriate in an unstable banana republic, which thet almost all are. But the beaches ate so pretty, they said. But the cost of living is so low, they said.
There is no way in hell I would retire outside of the good old US of A, for all her warts.

Looks like the expats may soon be getting plenty of “bang” for their trouble...
Retire to a Communist dictatorship...What could possibly go wrong?

I never got the appeal of moving to 3rd world countries...especially those who don’t want you armed. After a while, they start licking their chops at what you have.

So many retire to Mexico. This sort of thing right away convinces me to never consider it.
These are unstable nations with a lot of corruption. I am staying here which comparatively speaking is paradise.

I knew a woman who was looking at Mexico to retire to, and I convinced her it was a bad idea.
They may welcome you now as an exapat, but changing political winds can result in them just waking in and taking everything with no recourse...including your life.
