The Five Best Countries TO Move To For Retirement
Retiring in a different country is gaining popularity. Below are five of the
best countries to seek retirement
Costa Rica
Mild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员)to
Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency
process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security
or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost
than the U. S.
Malaysia
Retirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and
attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices.
Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost
rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.
Mexico
Because it’s close to the U.S., Mexico draws more than a million American
retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living and
conversations with friendlyEnglish speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the
age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.
Panama
Gentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has
been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming
economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest
living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special
visa.
Ecuador
Lazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make
owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will
run about $3.

The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument
with a friend. Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won’t put
yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head
stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist
came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the
dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally,at about
lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you
in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt
about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such
short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the
bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and
placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don’t worry. The dentist is
very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on,he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork,” the
assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right
where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment,
I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
