Best Places In The World To Retire

The rainy season here in Yucatan is summer. When you go to Merida, it rains almost every day between 4 PM and 5 PM. It cools the city down just as it needed.
 
Here at the beach, the rainy season is pretty much typically during late June, July, August, and September. At the beach we still do not get rain every day. A lot of the Yucatan is almost like the desert climate. It is very dry and you don’t have the high humidity levels. When we do get rain, the high humidity levels...

When we do get rain, the high humidity levels come up it is almost more oppressive here.
 
In Merida, it still rains a little every day for most of the year. It rains in Merida everyday for sure during the wet season. It is the same thing in most large cities because they actually create their own climates in their own weather area because of the amount of concrete and the heat that is rising. Here at the beach, if it rains once a week, we are really pretty happy.

You don't have to own a car if you live in Managua, but it is much easier if you do.  And if you don't want to drive in Managua it is possible to hire drivers to do that for you.  If hiring a driver (use only someone recommended to you by a trusted person) you can expect to pay about 200 Cordoba for the day (a little over US $7.)

We have our Social Security and other retirement money deposited in an international investment banking corporation. I won't mention which one, but it's world wide, established, reliable, well funded and safe. We have credit cards that were issued from the institution that are usable at any ATM world wide, and the company remits fees from those transactions back to us, so we never have to pay anything to access our cash.

We have our Social Security and other retirement money deposited in an international investment banking corporation. I won't mention which one, but it's world wide, established, reliable, well funded and safe. We have credit cards that were issued from the institution that are usable at any ATM world wide, and the company remits fees from those transactions back to us, so we never have to pay anything to access our cash. We have no bank account (yet) in Medellin, nor do we feel we'll need one, since we have that international account.

In order to establish a bank account, at least in Colombia, it's necessary to have a visa/cedula. We're in the process of acquiring those, so it will be a while.

 

BE Medellin
