The Expat Files: Living in Latin America

I’ve got a long way to go until retirement. But that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about it. The more I do, the better places like Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama seem. Even countries further south such as Chile seem like an attractive retirement option.

Or better yet—if I can figure out a location-independent way of eeking out a living—maybe I can move abroad before it’s time to collect Social Security.

It’s probably a lot easier to be starving blogger in Mexico than it is in the Washington, D.C. area.
