I am thinking of looking into a home in Brazil or Panama. Both are now fairly stable countries in Latin America and dirt cheap to buy nice property close to the beach compared to California. Plus I love Latina women they fabulous for a guy like me who speaks Spanish and Portuguese!
I am thinking of doing this in like 10 years after making some trips down there to check things out in more detail. Why work until I am ready to drop dead at 70 when I can retire like a king in my mid 40’s and have great weather and gorgeous women? I would avoid Mexico and Argentina however as they are not that stable per recent events. Costa Rica and Belize are other possibilties that offer solid government that is democratic and friendly to ex-pats.
