I've been thinking of moving to BELIZE upon retiring. Can you please give me some advice, about living there?

Asked by JackAdams (6574points) October 6th, 2008

I’ve read much on the Central American nation of BELIZE, and if what I have read is indeed correct, the cost of living is certainly much better down there (I could get a decent apartment there, for only US$200/month), and it is the only nation in that region, where the official language is English.

I’ve never been there; I’ve only visited Mexico (which borders it) a few times, but I have heard from others that the locals are friendly towards (and accepting of) USA citizens, the weather is terrific, the women are gorgeous, and the food is “sensational!”

The official tourism website isn’t gonna tell me anything bad aboout the place, of course, and I can definitely afford to visit there, prior to moving, if I wish.

However, if you have ever visited there, have lived there (or are living there now), or know someone who has done either, I’d appreciate reading your comments, pro or con, and I’m grateful for whatever advice you might be able to offer me. Thanks!

Depending on who gets elected president next month, I might leave even sooner than retirement age. And yes, I would retain my USA citizenship.
