I've only recently begun to think about retiring, and honestly, have doubted whether it will even be possible. It never occurred to me that one option is to move to another country where the cost of living is lower than it is here. Hmm.
2 Retire in Panama? combines facts and anecdotes about Greg Kitzmiller and his wife's decision about moving to Panama. Frankly, I'm amazed at the details that he included, costs, warnings, and descriptions of the processes required for things such as buying property and obtaining driver's licenses.
The anecdotes add human interest, keeping this from being a dry, how-to manual. And the style of the writing is inviting and personal. While I did skim over some of the details that I don't need at the moment, if I do ever move to Panama - or even visit - I will be revisiting chapters and reading thoroughly the information shared.
Anyone who is considering a relocation for retirement, whether to Panama, another country, or even to another house, should consider this thorough account. It helped me to see all the things that need to be considered and I am glad to have read it.
