For people in retirement, there are those who long to leave their old life behind. The attraction of plentiful beaches and fresh seafood in a tropical paradise even prompt some to leave the USA and become expatriates. For them, Caribbean islands have a powerful appeal
Here are five favorite spots that lure retirees:
- Barbados
- Antigua & Barbuda
- Dominica
- Roatan Island off Honduras
- Saint Lucia
Of the five, Barbados proves more expensive and developed, but it offers all the excitement of the Caribbean lifestyle. A more affordable and remote existence is found on Roatan Island, located about 40 miles east of the coast of Honduras. The island has good utilities and healthcare.
Three of the choices (Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, and Saint Lucia) offer unique citizenship by investment options to speedily provide citizenship and a passport. This option generally requires investment in local development and economic funds. Antigua & Barbuda offer a real estate investment option as well. Dominica’s program is rated best by PMW Financial Times.
A Laid-Back Lifestyle is Easier with More Money
Retirement will be more affordable with better benefits. That’s why Council of Seniors firmly believes Congress must pass The SAVE Benefits Act. It’s needed because the Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) hasn’t been adequate in recent years. Some estimate the COLA has shortchanged seniors by as much as $581, money that’s belonged to you all along and should be paid now.
Act right away to sign our petition! Congress must recognize and acknowledge how many people support this bill.
