Belize: no shirt, no shoes, no problem (and it's all in English!) ; Costa Rica: your easiest choice ; Ecuador: something for everyone ; Mexico: the top foreign destination for U.S. and Canadian retirees ; Nicaragua: ready for prime time ; Panama: the world's best retirement program (and much more) ; Uruguay: more first world than the U.S.? ; Europe: all the ingredients for the good life ; Southeast Asia: exotic and affordable ; Boots on the ground: zeroing in on the community that's right for you ; You found your paradise. Now what? Should you rent or buy? And how to know when half-way isn't the wrong way ; Once you know where you're going: put your plan in action -- Part three. Once you get there: adjusting to your new life. Changes in latitudes, changes in attitude: maintaining the bridge between your past and present lives ; When the hammock gets boring... what to do after you retire and move overseas ; Moving on: this is not a one-way highway ; Epilogue: If we knew then what we know now.

"The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget provides a detailed guide to one of the least-known but most effective retirement strategies in today's chaotic economic environment: retiring abroad. The premise is simple: Enjoy a happier, healthier, more fulfilling retirement than you could possibly afford in the U.S. or Canada by finding the right overseas retirement haven. The book reveals those affordable havens and the strategies for successfully making the move that could save your retirement. Aimed at retirees and near-retirees in the U.S. and Canada, this book's strategies apply just as well to younger people and people with families who are looking for ways to improve their quality of life while at the same time lowering their cost of living. It includes solutions for the challenges of continuing to work and earn money abroad, too."--
