We moved to Panama in 2005. We purchased land in 2002 and built in 2004-2005.
We came down here because we can live very nicely on Matt's social security. Everything is paid for so we only have our daily living expenses. We also have pensionado status and thus no taxes for 18 more years. Matt had worked for a company almost 30 years and they didn't have any retirement plans so we saved on our own. I am not eligible for social security for another 12 years.
Also the ease to get back to the U.S. incase of an emergency - which I did last year and was in Nebraska in 8 hours. It used to take me that long to drive from Chicago.
