We are seriously thinking of retiring in the country of Belize. It’s affordable and has the climate that makes my mind and body happy. I bought 3 books and a map of it. 2 books are the ins and outs of relocating there and the other book is a bucket list. I just got everything today so I didn’t get much reading in yet. We met with a financial advisor last week and now know what our retirement income will be, which helps a lot for searching for homes in Belize. We don’t want to live in an apartment or a house with stairs. We think we want to rent instead of buy, but that might still be up in the air. My book explains the pros and cons for each but I haven’t gotten that far yet. The ocean means a lot to me spiritually too. I feel at peace, in every way. It’s a great feeling. I say, if we can do it, then why not? My husband could fish a lot, and myself too….let the climate heal me. I have a nasty cough, fibro and A LOT of arthritis and trouble sleeping. When we were in Florida, I did not cough, I slept fabulous , and my body barely hurt except my really bad knee. So, the climate is healing for me and not being in so much pain every day would be most welcome. It would be neat to live by a canal or river, which they have both. We will have to buy a golf cart. That’s how a lot of folks get around.
If you could do it, would you move to Belize?
