Never thought I could afford to retire in the US (I am 62).
Having vacationed in central america these past 6 years I realized that these coutries made it possible for someone with a limited social security retirement income to afford their standard of living and more importantly their medical services.
Three years ago while visiting Costa Rica I visited a dentist, had a root canal, a crown and a cavity taken care of.
Total sum: $201.- !.


Today is monday morning on Catalina Island (California). At 10:30 am I'll take the ferry to San Pedro get in my truck and start driving to Panama (central america).

The planning and modifying my Isuzu NPR delivery truck to a motor home took a while. The planning started some years ago, the truck took 6 months.

  10. I'm  here to share my testimony of what a good trusted loan company did for me. My name is Nikita Tanya, from Russian and I’m a lovely mother of 3 kids I lost my funds on trying to get a loan it was so hard for me and my children, I went online to seek for a loan assistance  all hope was lost until one fateful day when I met this friend of mine who recently secured a loan from a very honest man Mr, Benjamin. She introduced me to this honest loan officer Mr, Benjamin  who helped me get a loan within 5 working days, I will forever be grateful to Mr Benjamin, for helping me get back on my feet again. You can contact Mr Benjamin via email: 247officedept@gmail.com    they do not know I’m doing this for them, but i just have to do it because a lot of people are out there who are in need of a loan assistance  please come to this honest man  and  you can be save as well .WhatsApp:(+1 989-394-3740)
