AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Ambergris Caye US News piece on retiring in Belize

yep.
I think this subject irritates everyone so much because were all a little miffed about prices we pay for things in San Pedro.
but my reality is I can retire on Social Security from the US if I'm a careful shopper and change my style a little.
I own my home ,its paid for, I'm also in the Belizean Social Security system and a citizen, don't have or need a car or car insurance.

I agree Elbert, Datallmon isn't retired yet, but hopefully, if we planned it right, we will be in the same position too. We are still divesting and paying down the house here. We are even looking for an inexpensive getaway place for cool summers.
None the less, most people are not in a position to do this....even though they think they can. The numbers add up.
Sometimes it isn't even the money...several couples have left here because it is hard on the women...shopping for decent food, cooking while sweating, the dirt, and just negotiating for basics gets to them. And, Jesse, my sheep farm in the States was harder...so drop your position...poor Gwen, so many problems...

I might add I'm HappyHappyHappy!
That counts for so much, this isn't the life for everyone. I often want to tell complainers to just f*&%in go back home, it pains the rest of us to listen to them.
International Living did a story on me and my experience here, it was exaggerated but basically true.
Designed to encourage people to chase their dreams and with no warning of the high percent of crash and burns.
I suspect some expeditors lurk in the shadows of this waiting to make a few bucks on the pilgrims.

Amen! Some people never stop complaining..about every little thing...and spread their misery all over the island.

Well , Jesse, you have accused me of complaining before, but if you look at what I have written, I'm not complaining. I'm just providing information. It really sounds, yet again, you are the one doing the complaining. So, I guess, you are the one spreading misery, all over the Island.

Gwen, I wasn't thinking of you particularly. After 18 years I know lots of people here. You need to get over yourself!

Don't you realize if you are complaining about complainers, you are a complainer? I am so over myself... but if you would please explain those totally out of the blue " Poor Gwen" posts lately, I'll get over being dissed by you. By the way, Dave was joking last Monday, about the vacation being over. But it seems you jumped on something that doesn't exist. Misery, misery.

"Poor Gwen" referred to whatever problem you were having on the message board at that moment..I don't remember what it was. And another "Poor Gwen" had to do with your panic over my posting of some Eastern European fotos on my Facebook Page. I've eased that for you by unfriending you...so relax!

There was no problem on the message board. So, the real story comes out. How childish.

Betcha feel kinda foolish now eh?
