Thanks again for your perspective. A fellow Canadian, my husband and I left Canada in October 2020 immediately following my retirement. Both then retired, yet our combined pensions would not allow us to live comfortable at all in Canada. In any case, we were quite tired of snow and eager to go south! South ended up being here, in the Cayo, in Belize.
No regrets, or at least none that have to do with Belize. We love it here.
Loved reading your perspective on the realities of younger generations not being able to afford a home, or a sense of feeling secure. My husband and I are both boomers, although I was born in 1963 the last year of the boomer generation. It’s 4 am here in Belize right now, so I didn’t feel up to subscribing, but I will definitely do so when I’m coherent.
We live right in the village of Placencia not far from where you live with your family. We chose to retire in Belize for the closeness to the our family in the U.S., and it’s an English speaking country, and a wonderful, and varied population of many different cultures. Being able to live a quiet, peaceful life on the Caribbean for a reasonable amount of money was the icing on the cake.

Thanks Joanne, that's a great additional insight; that the lack of affordability extends to retirees. What a world we live in.

Thanks for reading Kelly. What brought you to Belize? Where in the country have you settled?
