We are not yet of retirement age as US Social Security dictates. As we have visited here in Belize we have found it to be a beautiful country, great climate and good people. After considerable before move research about the affordability of the region we found that the tourists and relocation sites urge "living like the locals". What thi otr3 d x ls means is having no car, very little travel, substandard housing and basic food. If one is willing it is true that a couple could live here in Belize for about $1800 USedge monthly. To own a car, travel and visit all the country has to offer, travel to neighboring countries and eat great food out more than once a week would cost approximately $3,000 US monthly.
Bugs...do not discount the opinion that the bugs here can be tolerated. It's not the size or type of bugs but the sheer numbers. You will always be battling bugs on you and around you, especially mosquitoes. I suggest bringing a case of bug repellent with you. We still find Belize a great retirement destination and we are now leaving for the states for a few months to visit family. We will return in February with more stories from Placencia, Belize."Paradise" is a game of chance.
It's a beautiful country but has been devastated in the past by hurricanes.
