hello Randy! I have watched your video a couple of times and I am glad to know you are still happy living in Panama and the practicalities of living only on Social Security. I hope to be able to move there when I start collecting. With inflation it's a little disappointing that the price gouging is going on there as well. Because honestly inflation doesn't really affect rent unless the landlord just wants to make more money in most instances. I want a place that is cool at night. Daytime doesn't matter. But I cannot sleep in the heat. I took the tour in 2021 and will coming again in April, repeating the tour. I don't really feel adventurous enough yet to do it all on my own. Hopefully when I am ready to go, I can sell my home here and be able to make the move. And yes Panama seems to be the easiest to get residency. Although Mexico is less expensive, their residency requirement for income is ridiculous.

Hey Randy, Thank you! I have a friend in David but I have not visited YET. I'm planning too visit talk soon. Thanks for a good, honest little overview off your experience in Panama. Gives me hope. I'm thinking that Jackie's tour is the key that got you there, yes? Knowing what you know, would you have done it any other way? Best of luck to you, Randy. You seem happy, satisfied and a rock solid kind of guy I would be proud to know. Many blessings, Mitch in West Sacramento, Ca.

I'm hoping to do the same thing, live off my Social Security and am as well some of a country boy Main problem now is getting my passport which has been since the end of January since I applied, also don't feel I can afford any extra expenses at this time, but I am in good health, 75 and wishing I were retired. Anyway trying to figure out just what I can afford and quite aware that the ideal way to do the whole thing is to rent for a while, then decided where to settle down.

From $300 to $550 in 3 years and 4 months? That's almost double! That's more than a 20% increase per year. Many of us elderly retirees want to rent because we're tired of the burden of home ownership. Jackie, is this typical of Panama rent increases? Perhaps you can address rent increases in one of your videos.
@PanamaRelocationTours Жыл бұрын
barb, these were two completely different rentals. NOT the same place. It is not typical for rentals to go up from year to year. My rentals have been the same price for 8 years with no increases. Food prices are some restaurants have gone up but you can always get an affordable $5 full meal at a Panamanian restaurant.

Hey Randy, so sorry to hear about your wife. I lost my wife to cancer in 2016 ( after 33 years). Panama is on my radar. I hope to make it down there within 6 months. I’d love to buy you lunch and a beer and we could swap experiences. Keep your hat on. 😁

I have lived my life on the Texas gulf coast, and the Louisiana gulf coast….both hot and humid 9 months out of the year. Both my husband and I are looking for a cooler year round climate. A couple of years ago we were talking about Boquete as everything I saw in videos, and reading the climate sounded perfect for our wants. Is Boquete the only place that has this near perfect weather?
@PanamaRelocationTours Жыл бұрын
There are other Panama highland towns with great weather. Boquete, Alto Boquete, Volcan, El Valle de Anton, Sante Fe, Sora, Altos del Maria, and other towns above 3000 foot elevation so you won't need an air conditioner.

Hello Randy, Thanks for the review. I'm a born and raised Panamanian and after going back home for a week last year I was so damn disappointed and disgusted with the neighborhood I was raised at. Calidonia is not the same at all, but I will be looking into David. I have nine more years to go before retirement, so now is the time to start looking. Are their any condominiums in that area? Thanks again, and I hope you keep enjoying what my country has to offer.
