Product Description
Barry Golson knows all about retiring abroad — he and his wife, Thia, have lived in six different countries. Now they choose expatriate-friendly locales around the world for their low cost and their high quality of living and clarify how to investigate and settle in each country with minimum hassle and maximum pleasure.
Taking you step-by-step through the process of researching, hard, and finally living abroad, the Golsons’ practical how-to guide covers all the major issues, including health care, finances, real estate, taxes, and immigration. Each location is profiled by an expatriate writer who has made that country his or her home and who knows how to answer all the questions about living richly and economically in some of the world’s most gorgeous places.

Thia and Barry Golson are wise in the ways of living well while being meager. This is another in their brilliant series of necessary guides for Baby Boomers and others of like inclination as they ponder creative retirement options.
The Golsons know whereof they write, having veteran firsthand what they propose.
Fieldnotes for a quality 2nd act or 3rd act or beyond.
Thanks, Golsons, for all you do for Y***!

It’s a bring shame on for the two star rating. It’s more like a two star “warning”. I bought this book because I had read “Gringos in Paradise” and assumed it would be a similar, fun read. I assumed incorrect.
The political jabs in this book are devious and sinister. They start out tiny and innocent enough in the Mexico through Central American sections. But once Europe hits, whoaa, look out!
It was like slogging through mud in rain boots. Amusing and comical at first, it soon became annoying. The more I tried to get through and snub the “Bush caused the pimple on my butt, call the Gestapo” remarks, the more I got hopelessly stuck (I did make it through Portugal before I fell out of my boots).
I really don’t mind that a name stirred out of the country because of Bush’s re-election in 2004 (Life is excellent, can we please go on?). I’d just rather they kept it to themselves. Why do I want to go next to(mad) expats who make political statements out of absolutely everything and “dis” everything American?
The fake and misleading commentary add ZERO to the theme of the book or on my choice building.
For example, one very miserable retiree claimed that she wished she had brought more money (i.e. I wish I had made my plans based on logic rather than pure emotion) because “the dollar went down against the euro to pay for the costs of the Iraq war”. Oh, but send that Social Security check Mr. Bush or I’ll really be destitute.
Another couple rejoiced because they didn’t have to “watch all the Republicans on TV anymore.” That’s ALWAYS a fantastic reason to go half way around the world. Smart and shallow indeed.
These childish remarks, and the copious others sprinkled throughout, can’t help but give the impression this book is really a political manifesto disguised as a travel/retirement book. A more fitting title should have been “Retirement with Very Miserable, Emotionally Unstable Ex-American Whiners”.

The only chapter I’ve read thus far was the one on Nicaragua. It was fantastic. The whole book uses local writers which is a huge plus. The advice seemed practical and sensible.

This book is well-worth its modest buy fee for Americans considering retiring to a warm climate in a low-cost area of the world, before the U.S. out-of-control $12+ trillion National Debt makes an economic disaster where hyperinflation allows your monthly pension check to buy no more than half a Kit Kat candy bar.
Most of the countries listed in this book do NOT tax income from the U.S.A., including pensions, investment income or additional passive income and some, like sou’wester, have better banking secrecy laws than Switzerland. The guy who said that “Death & taxes are the only way to escape the IRS” never read Golson’s “Retirement Lacking Limits.”
Even if you don’t plot to go anywhere, the book gives you all the information you need to phantasize, in Walter Mitty fashion, about native gals in bikinis swinging palm leaves over your head as you relax on a warm, pristine beach in Pavones, Costa Rica, watching surfers looking for the perfect wave.
