Author: Sacha Tarkovsky
Many people want to retire overseas but are a little nervous about how they will settle in and that's understandable.
How you will settle in when retiring overseas can make your retirement a pleasure or a nightmare. Here we will look at a country that offers you a way to enjoy your golden years and still feel at home.
Beware of culture shock
When you retire overseas most people like a culture they can associate with, one where they don't feel an outcast in and most also like to be close to home.
Costa Rica has been a favourite destination for many people retiring overseas because it offers a cheaper standard of living and the potential to be in a different culture and beautiful country and still feel at home.
Many have tried other destinations such as Nicaragua and Belize and found the low standard of living, the crime, poor utilities and the poverty off putting.
Costa Rica on the other hand has a high standard of living, good utilities and a large overseas population.
This means retiring here you are surrounded by people from a farmiliar culture, who have bought a lot of the entertainment, shops etc you will be familiar with.
Costa Rica is just a 3 hour direct flight from the southern US states and offers beachfront property at 70% less than in the US and has an affordable lifestyle, which can be enjoyed for just $2,000 a month.
Add in fantastic medical care, great communications, in a safe and beautiful country and you have the perfect place to retire overseas.
Costa Rica is close to home, with lots of familiar culture and a laid back enjoyable lifestyle.
Costa Rica is an affordable slice of paradise, not to far way and very easy to blend into.
