I wish to retire to Central America. Currently living in N. Carolina. I will have to keep my budget under $2000/mo to keep my place in N. Carolina. Won't give that up till I'm sure I want to stay.
I have 2 questions!
What do you like best about Belize?

Best about Belize I like: not all developed, and in many ways feel 'freer' in Belize because, I suppose, is less-developed.

Least like about Belize; things do move slow, and of course less conveniences as to choices and services so readily available in more developed countries. I know, can't have it both ways.

The two main problems , in my opinion is lack of infrastructure , including schools, hospitals , roads etc, and crime , you have to nail everything down.
It is a beautiful country, but its beginning to lose its appeal in many places due to the influx of tourists, but that's progress

We human are funny animals. We (collectively speaking) go to a place, love it because it is 'unspoil', but tell everyone about it with innocent glee, and then everyone does come and then is no longer 'unspoiled'. LoL
