I'm not sure what the writer means by... "The money is taxable in the US but not in Solombia if pension of Social Security. Colombia is a heaven!" Any U.S. income to include Social Security and pensions are taxable under Colombian law once you live in the country for more than 180 days in a calendar year. Make sure you consult a tax expert in Colombia and U.S. before you pull the trigger on moving to Colombia because your assets in the U.S. (house, cars, stocks and bonds) are subject to Colombian tax once you pass the 180 day (6 mo) mark.
