Such an insightful video on retiring in Belize! From the stunning scenery to the low cost of living, it's definitely worth considering.

[@rolandklasen9225]

My folks lived in Belize for 10 years and I visited once, so I’m not an expert but here are my thoughts. Belize would be nice in your younger, active retirement years and then come back home when you start getting really old, say 75+ and need regular medical attention. You DO NOT want to be poor and live in a small village with the locals and not be able to defend yourself, because the bad guys will eventually find out and rob you. They had an elderly neighbor lady who was home sitting on the couch watching TV one day, and some bad guys just walked in and grabbed the TV and she couldn’t do anything about it. Don’t put yourself in that type of situation.

There is only one public golf course in Belize, it's a 9 hole course and it's expensive. If your a golfer, Belize is not for you. Actually there is another course on one of the cay's but it is also expensive because you have to take a boat to get there.

@Shawn Afshar. We actually came back from Malaysia after being there for 18 days, it was pretty sweet but we are going to head off to other Southeast Asian countries in the near future to check them out as well. It's really hard to say still, everyone is different for what they prefer. Latin America is close by but I prefer to be able to speak better Spanish before going. Europe for us, as beautiful and comfortable as it is, seems to be on the pricier side than Southeast Asia. As our networth grows larger, we may stay in Southeast Asia, then move over to Europe at a later date. Not sure yet, we are at a transitional stage right now of research and exploration. Our plan in the near future is in visiting as many countries as we can, for longer periods, a month or more at a time.

Hi Marilyn! I just spent last week in Belize. I rented a car, drove to Corozol and San Ignacio visiting the many Maya Ruins. They had easy walking trails. Climbing the ruins is optional. One tour, Lamanai, consists of a river boat ride to the ruins. There was a 74 yo on the tour, he appeared to enjoy it. Though he didn't walk the entire tour, he was still able to reach the Jaguar temple. Very impressive pyramid! I didn't see much of Corozol. I went a little further to Consejo Shores, a small development with lots and some homes for sale. It's on the Chetumal bay, very beautiful, some expat retirees live there permanently. This is very close (half hr drive?) to Chetumal, Mexico, where one can go shopping like in the US. They have Walmart, Sam's club, Applebee's, etc. Hope that helps?

Matt the culture sucks in Belize and the government and police are corrupt. There’s no middle class so mostly poor people. Poor people lack empathy for animals for the most part. There’s lots of stray dogs and they treat them like rats. Medical is so bad here. I can go forever on the medical because of an experience I had about medical but I don’t feel like typejng that much.
