Retiring in Belize is relatively cheap for some

In the tourism world, Belize is well known as a small piece of paradise, with its beautiful cayes, Maya temples, diverse cultures, as well as exotic fauna and flora. We came across an article on Yahoo Finance, naming Belize as one of the top, most affordable places to retire comfortably. The article shares the story of a couple, Jason and Elizabeth Pearce, who moved to Belize from Canada three years ago. While Elizabeth's social security funds go to their savings, the Pearce's have since purchased land on one of the cayes and built a beautiful home using only Jason's social security income. Apart from affordability, the article highlights Belize's natural beauty which encompasses hundreds of bird, plant, tree species, a large number of protected areas, including the marine life inside the world's second largest barrier reef.
