Central America's gem for retirement: Costa Rica 2021 Stable, easy and affordable.

Costa Rica is a beautiful country, with beautiful beaches, long, narrow and still undeveloped… dense jungles that combine divinely with exotic and abundant wildlife… proud volcanoes, green valleys and hundreds of crystal clear lakes and rivers.
Not only that, but the country offers a great climate all year round, a super friendly environment, uncomplicated residential systems, an excellent social security system, stable democracy and good security. Not to be underestimated is the fact that many retirement age couples report living perfectly well on $2,000 per month which includes all their costs.
For these reasons, as well as the warm welcome Costa Ricans always dispense, warm and friendly toward their new foreign neighbors, Costa Rica has been considered a favorite destination for expatriates for more than 30 years.
An added bonus: You don’t need to be a pioneer in Costa Rica. There is a well-established expat community throughout the country. Things are somewhat structured already in terms of sending your household goods and other personal items to Costa Rica, using the local social security system, buying property and more. And just by following this clearly defined structure, your transition into your new life is much easier.
Costa Rica is relatively small, about the size of West Virginia. But the variety of geography, climate and lifestyles in Costa Rica is simply amazing. You’ll find rainforest, exotic beaches as well as charming seaside villas and communities in the South Pacific, also known as the “southern zone”.
