I heard some went to Belize. I remember not long ago there was some article that it all ain’t nirvana there with these people.
I don’t know. Anymore you can run, but it sure is hard to hide.
Belize is a big destination, so is Costa Rica and Panama - with Nicaragua and Ecuador coming on strong.
Not for everybody - but right for some. There are plenty of expats living in Central America - a solid upper middle class lifestyle on the beach, or a lake, or a mountain, for 25K a year or less for a couple. For those who’s job and home values were decimated by the 2008 crash, it’s been a Godsend. They may be wiped out, but suddenly their social security is enough. Lot of couples, and divorcees or widows/widowers in that situation.
Nirvana? No. But neither is the USA anymore. And upper middle starts at what, 100, 150K, depending on where you are? More in some places.
