First-World cities with every modern convenience, beachfront hideaways, medieval towns, tropical islands, temperate mountain valleys… You can chose your favorite climate, your preferred lifestyle…the place you feel most at home…because the world’s best retirement havens have it all… and for pennies on the dollar, too.
Runner up of the 2014 Global Retirement Index, Ecuador offers sophisticated historical cities…miles of unspoiled, sun-kissed beaches…fertile farmland…and temperate mountain hideaways…and all of it for pennies on the dollar. You can live well for a fraction of the cost of living back in the U.S. And with Ecuador’s official currency the U.S. dollar, you needn’t worry about complicated currency calculations or exchange risks.
It’s no coincidence that commercials for vacations, resorts, or cruises in North America prominently feature the white sands, clear-blue waters, and laid-back vibe of Caribbean beaches. It is paradise and close to home. Maybe that’s why it’s been a premier vacation destination for decades. But thanks to affordable real estate available throughout the region, you’re not limited to the all-inclusives—it is possible to enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle year-round from your own home.
There’s a lot of opportunity in the world…if you know the right places to look for it. By using the right strategies…in the right places…you have money-saving, money-making options most Americans will never hear about. You can gain a true measure of protection against the volatility and real potential for economic—and perhaps even social—collapse back home. To help you do this, we have created this very special report…an escape plan that will ensure that no matter what happens at home, you and your family and everything you’ve worked so hard for can be safe and secure.
If you're like many folks these days—not entirely sure your retirement savings will go the distance... or not sure where to put what's left of your nest egg so it's safe and growing... The truth of the matter is: An international lifestyle isn't just for the rich and famous. It's for anybody willing to take advantage of the best-value opportunities in welcoming communities around the globe. And it's our mission at International Living to help you do just that!
This month we're looking at the alternative ways to make money from coffee…beyond the café.

We have news of an eco-lodge for sale in Panama…the top places in Latin America for connectivity…opportunities in vacation rentals worldwide….and a major boost to tourism businesses in Ecuador. This and lots more in your December issue of Incomes Abroad.
It's an amazing thing to see your dream home become a freshly painted, brightly decorated reality. Many people will never own their own dream home. Many more will live in one built by someone else, for someone else and with all the inconveniences that entails. But the amazing thing is that, just by broadening your horizons a little, it's possible to create the home of your dreams, exactly the way you want it, and at a fraction of "First World" costs.
In this special report, I’m going to provide you with details on some profitable Caribbean deals—and how you can take special advantage of them as a RETA member. What’s even better, they all sit at that “sweet spot” where a lifestyle investment intersects with profit play.
Las Terrenas is a little piece of paradise on the Dominican Republic's Samana peninsula. Nineteen miles of walkable public beach, palm trees, warm breezes and stars so bright it feels like you could pluck them from the sky... I can't think of a nicer place to have a beach home. You'll find your dollars stretch here, too.
This is an off-market deal. RETA members are discreetly offered special pricing and terms. Developers use us to build sales momentum. We use them for a deal. We want to be ahead from the get-go. Steve Linder from Pacific Lots hosts these private events with “off market” inventory for members of our group a couple of times a year, and the benefits can be huge. Later, I’ll let you know how you can find out when the next of these events will take place.
