7 Reasons Why You Should Move to Belize
Wedged between Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, Belize has no strategic importance
to anyone. Maybe that's why it has such a
peaceful
history.
The pirates of the Caribbean thought so—when they needed a base
in the 1600s, quiet, little Belize was their first choice. The 200 islands
scattered off the coast made perfect hideaways. Later, when the Spanish tried to
settle the mainland, it was a disaster. The pirates didn't like the idea of
someone else telling them what to do.
Today, Belize retains that fiercely
independent streak. It's one of the best banking and tax havens in the world.
They don't believe in taxes—no capital gains tax, no
inheritance tax, no corporation tax. If you join the
special retiree
program, you don't pay tax on foreign-earned income
. A
special Belizean retiree is loosely defined—you can be in your 40s or 50s and
still working, and get all the program's benefits.
Whether you chose to
be a retiree or not, the lifestyle here will tempt even the most committed
workaholic to relax. This is
picture postcard Caribbean. Divers
and snorkelers explore its 176-mile barrier reef. (The largest living reef in
the world.) Sport fishermen are equally happy. They reel in snapper, grouper,
barracuda, bonito, tuna, kingfish, sailfish, and marlin.
You'll be
blissfully
free from commuter crush, 24-hour news, and workaday
stress. This is a land of few cars, abundant fresh food from the sea and the
trees, and great natural beauty. Belize is undeveloped and sparsely populated.
You'll have lots of room (on the beaches, in the jungle, in the rainforests) to
stretch out. There is no rush. Where would you rush to? Yes, there are
fiber-optic phone cables, computers, and cell phones, but these things are
conveniences, not obsessions.
Everyone who visits
English-speaking Belize talks about the friendly people. Of
course, lots of countries have friendly locals. But in Belize you can quickly
and easily make friends with them—because you already speak the
language.
You can buy a home on a
Caribbean island for less than
$100,000…and a house near the beach on mainland Belize for
$35,000.
For a country where not much happens, there sure is a lot of
opportunity in Belize. That's why we've created a brand new report called

Less. If you're interested in a place in the Caribbean sun…but you
don't want to pay typical Caribbean prices…
