Enjoy a lifestyle in
paradise – at the right price.
For one thing, it’s been named
one of the best places in the world
to retire.
Yep. For six years in a row, it was
at the top of International Living
magazine’s Global Retirement
Index, ahead of such places as
Malasia and Belize – and it’s still in
the top four.
The index is rated based on
real estate prices, cost of living,
safety and stability, health care,
climate, infrastructure, entertainment,
recreation, culture and special
benefits.
The bottom line?
Panama is the place to go to
live out your dreams.
It’s beautiful.
Picture over 1000 miles of
coastline, palm trees, tropical
breezes, colourful birds and lush
mountain vistas.
It’s enticingly affordable. There
are real estate bargains to be
found. And thanks to the low cost
of living, your quality of life can
shoot up into the luxe zone. You
may be able to put down new roots
in a glorious spot you never, ever
thought your wallet would be deep
enough to allow. Just imagine living
in high style and doing as you
please in a naturally enchanting,
snow-free place.
Hmmm. Let’s see. Shiver for
half the year, live modestly and fork
over your hard-earned cash to the
Tax Man or have the warm-weather
home you’ve always wanted and
enjoy all life’s niceties. What’s it
going to be?
Panama is safe and both the
government and the economy are
very stable. The U.S. dollar is legal
tender and inflation is practically
zip. Crime is not an issue. In fact,
top international companies are situated
here.
