There are an estimated 77 million babyboomers in America who are embarking upon or about to enter into retirement – and thanks to the dire state of the US economy, the way the stock markets have crashed and housing markets across the States are depressed, a new study by Ernst and Young shows that up to 60% of these babyboomers will have to cut their living standards by a quarter if they want to survive in retirement.
The study by the global accounting giant has looked at how Americans are going to survive on the shrunken pension pots the majority of them now have following America’s terrible economic crisis. It discovered that for the majority of American retirees, they just don’t have sufficient financial assets to see them through their retirement if they stay living the same life in America.
It is precisely this reason why more American retirees now choose to live in Belize in retirement, because in Belize they can live tax efficiently, they can live for less, they can live in more affordable homes and enjoy an even better standard of living than they currently have in depressed America.

A warning has been issued to would-be buyers of Belizean real estate – be location careful when buying property in Belize, especially if you ever want to resell it! Rather ironically, the issue has been given by a realtor who’s actually attempting to sell a seemingly unsaleable retirement development in Punta Gorda in Belize near the Guatemalan border.
The trouble with the development is not the construction or the cost, it is simply the location. It is difficult to access and pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and so unless you’re seeking an escape from the madding crowds, it’s unlikely to appeal. However, where buyers do get the location of their dream Belize home right, they could be in line for record house price gains in 2008.
