Costa Rica a place to overseas retirement or start a business |
The enormous biological diversity and natural beauty are unique in themselves. Combined with the fact that this is one of the most stable and peaceful democracies in Latin America, Costa Rica is an ideal choice. The money the government does not invest in the army is used in education and health care. There is a high standard of living, in fact, the average lifespan is 78 for men and 84 for women, two years higher than in the U.S! Costa Rica has a terrific, tropical and semi-tropical climate whether you like the mountains or the beach, or somewhere in between.
Good business opportunities still exist and the government makes it easy to open a business or buy real estate. According to the New Economics Foundation´s Happy Lives Index, which measures the environmental efficiency with which countries provide long and happy lives, Central America is the region with the highest average score and Costa Rica ranks #5 in the world! American and European people is welcome. Many have saved enough money for retirement but many more have not. With actual costs, particularly in housing and healthcare, an overseas retirement is a growing alternative. |
