Like most other Baby Boomers, we had been thinking about retirement for a while will we have enough money saved to retire? Will our house hold or increase its value? Will our IRAs ever rebound? How will we afford health insurance when we stop working? What can we do, where can we go to make our money go further? Will we be able to retire at all? Sound familiar? At first we considered Mexico but were too concerned about the violence there. We also considered the southeastern United States. But none of these attracted us the way Costa Rica has. We have fallen in love with this small country, the unhurried lifestyle, and the warm and friendly people we have met. It fits all of our criteria for a place to retire, such as a stable government, lower cost of living, and a great healthcare system. As a bonus, Costa Rica has one of the worlds best climates, and incredible natural beauty.
