Life In Panama
The cost of living here is reasonable, with rent for an average 900 square foot apartment in a large city going for about $1,000, but outside the city, it’s a tiny $620. The hourly rate for a maid is $4.16 and internet service will set you back only $38. Panama has an amazing program for retirees that subsidize your medical care, car taxes, property taxes, and many other benefits. You only need to show that you earn $1,000 a month from your money country. These benefits alone will pay for most of your retirement costs! Want more? Besides checking out the Panama Canal, of course, you must visit the San Blas Islands, do a bit of snorkeling and sailing, see the ruins in Portobello and check out the historical site called Panama Viejo, which has a huge museum.

Belize
One of the most beautiful Central American countries, Belize offers a laid-back way of life that entices many expats. English is the official language of the country as well, so getting around and adapting is super easy. The weather makes this country a great place to get out and about. You can go see the ancient temple ruins at Xunantunich, see the Great Blue Hole (a storied sinkhole in the ocean floor), dive to see the Belize Barrier and check out Ambergris Caye. Belize has some of the best and least crowded Mayan ruins you will ever visit in your life.
