International Living Magazine has evaluated and compared the Worlds best retirement destinations for the past 15 years.
This year thirty countries were analyzed and ranked according to the following variables: cost of living, health care, quality of life, climate, safety, stability, and infrastructure, among others. And the results were... Italy in the third place with its historic sites and beautiful cities. Ecuador came in second because of its low cost of living, great weather, beautiful landscape and a growing economy tied to the US dollar.
So, whats the best country in the World for retiring according to this study? Well its... MEXICO! in part due to these powerful arguments:
Extremely convenient because its so near to the US and Canada
Mexicos Senior Citizens Benefits Program offers up to 50% discounts on many services to retirees over the age of 60
Mexican government has enacted many new laws encouraging foreign investment
In brief, "Mexico has become an incredible place to enjoy retirement that offers the quality of life that North Americans are accustomed to with numerous other extra benefits".
The study goes on to mention that some of the best places in Mexico to retire are located in the Pacific Ocean coastline which seldom sees hurricanes or troublesome storms and offers more than a thousand miles of incredible views with a climate similar to Hawaiis.
The most desirable locations in Mexico are: La Paz, Todos Santos, Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Escondido and... our gem of the Mexican Riviera, Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo!!
