Retiring Costa Rica
If retiring for you means taking the vacation of your life, then Costa Rica should be on the top of your list. This article gives you the reasons why you should go there and why more and more foreigners choose to move to this Latin American country.
1. The politics and economy are stable – retiring means you should be able to finally relax and forget about the cares in life. Costa Rica takes away two of the major headaches faced by retirees moving to other countries. The political and economic situations in Costa Rica are more stable compared to the other parts of the region. This is one of the major reasons why a lot of foreigners choose to move here.
2. It has a low cost of living – unlike retiring in the United States and in more affluent countries, your money will go a long way here in Costa Rica. The average monthly wage of the middle class here is $500. With $1000, you got a lot of your stay here covered and you will be able to live comfortably. If you’re worrying about your low pension, it will sure go a long way in this country.
Still not convinced? The prices of goods in Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose, are the second lowest among the countries in the Americas. Aside from that, the price of things like public utilities, public transport, gasoline and health care are very affordable.
3. Fantastic weather and natural environment – Costa Rica is located 10 degrees north of the equator so it has a tropical weather. So if you like the warm weather of the tropics then Costa Rica is a logical choice for you. Aside from the weather, this country boasts one of the most beautiful and well-preserved ecosystems throughout the world. It is therefore no wonder that this Latin American country is famous for its ecotourism.
