Tax-free
living: Belize's new retiree law is one of the best programs on offer -
Click
Here - In the middle of last month, Belize's new “retiree” legislation
became law—offering what is arguably the most attractive incentive programs
anywhere for foreign retirees. If you're looking for tax-free living, put
Belize at the top of your list. The law aims to “encourage and promote
the inflow of foreign capital into Belize by offering certain tax exemptions
and incentives to Qualified Retired Persons...” by Joel M. Nagel
New legislation
in Belize makes this the best time in years to consider “retiring” there
- Click
Here - Belize's newly revised “retiree” law promises to provide you
much more flexibility of movement than you'll find under any similar program

leave the country every three months to renew your tourist visa.

From Roatan
to Bocas: Why we moved from Honduras’ Bay Islands to Caribbean Panama
- Click
Here - Prices in Bocas right now are below what we found in Roatan
when we arrived there in 1994. Its a smart time to buy. We were lucky enough
to have been in Roatan for the boom there and see the same dynamic is at
work here in Bocas. "Bocas is still at the very earliest stage of
development…if you invest now, you will likely double or triple your investment.",
"No tropical storm has hit here in the 140 years official records have
been kept." by Frank Canale

homeless: What it means to be a full-time PT - Click

address is our E-mail address. PTs like security and predictability…it's

a government program.
Next month
in England: bonfires and effigies for the Gunpowder Plot - Click
Here - I grew up in England, and Guy Fawkes Night—better known as “Bonfire
Night”—was always a banner event. We saved our pocket money for weeks before
the November 5th event, and then blew the lot on fireworks. We got extra
money by asking neighbors and any passing stranger for “a penny for the
Guy.” by Steenie Harvey
