We decided to move and work towards retirement in Nicaragua. We checked out Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Colombia and Chile. We skipped Mexico due to many retirees and also high crime rate. Our main reasons where based on economics, ease of travel between US for our kids to Nicaragua and us back to the US to visit kids and handle our business. We also looked at health, local business environment and government incentives for retirees.

Here is one additional item to consider: to succeed as a retiree overseas will require an open mind, a willingness to experience and embrace new ideas, smells, sights.
