Wondering if
you can make the move to Belize.
Your not alone. Many other Americans, Canadians and Europeans are
seriously considering making the move to Belize for a number of
reasons. First, Belize is an amazing country with a unique culture
and a fabulous climate. Second, the average cost of living in Belize
is well below that of North America. Third, Belize is only a short
flight from home and is a great place to retire. These reasons will
be expanded upon in the article below.
Belize life is calm and
peaceful, at least in comparison to the hustle and bustle of North
America and Europe. Belize is a country of less
than 300,000 people, a very small country by world standards.
However, the country is more than 9,000 square miles in size. A
small population with a relatively large area makes for some very
beautiful and untapped natural habitat. This includes some of the
world’s most beautiful coastal beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and the Maya
mountains in the countries southern region. As well, the Belize
coast is lined with coral and actually is home to the world’s second
largest reef, the Belize barrier reef (Second only to Australia’s
Great Barrier Reef). This reef makes for some of the greatest deep
see diving and snorkelling in the world, and is a far cry from
snorkelling the Texas coast. The Belize climate is subtropical with
warm temperatures and moderate Belize annual rainfall.
Secondly, the
average cost of living in Belize is much lower than
the averages living costs in many other countries. This is one of
the primary factors that makes moving to Belize such a great option,
especially for retirees. Imagine, you’ve earned all your life in
American dollars and now you can enjoy that financial nest egg
you’ve built up in a country where your dollars can figuratively
stretch for miles. You should consult with your financial advisor or
accountant to discuss your own personal situation. You may also wish
to discuss this with your local or offshore banker or your real
estate advisor if you plan on purchasing a home in Belize. To learn

A third
reason to considering living in Belize is Belize is only a short
flight from the continental US and Canada making return visits home
easy and affordable. As well, Belize is only approximately a four to
five hour drive to Cancun, Mexico. Cancun is a major hub for
international air activities. All things considered, Belize may be
the perfect spot to hang up your hat in the near future.
