Many retirees are seeking warmth and the chance to get back to the basics of life, but they want to do it on a budget.  Cayo District Belize may be just what retirees are seeking, and many who are retired or close to retiring are making the move to a simpler way of life.

Scenes like this are common in Cayo District Belize

With the mountains, waterfalls and lush rainforest as surroundings, retirees who want to live a simpler life have been flocking to this area.  It might not be on top of the Caribbean, but access to local villages and a country that is English speaking and “American friendly” can be a big draw.  In fact, Belize has honored private property rights for years.  This factor alone is enough for  many retirees to consider a move to this country.

In Cayo, one will find fruit trees and flowers that blossom throughout the year.  Mennonites farm much of the land and solar power is beginning to come standard in much of the area.  The abundant sunshine in this area makes using solar easy, and also helps Expats to maintain a more independent lifestyle.

Since there is plenty of water, gardening and farming is easy, and many retirees seeking this lifestyle are able to grow much of their own food.  Not only does this cut down on the cost of living in this area and allow retirees on a budget to enjoy the life they’ve dreamt of, but growing one’s own food and enjoying solar power also cuts down dependence on anyone at all.

In some communities of the Cayo District, it is possible to purchase a serviced lot for as little as $25,000.  Many of the communities cropping up for Expats feature gardens and orchards, so whether planting and harvesting are on the schedule, or it’s simply enjoying the crops, it’s all there for the taking, and there is plenty.

Belize takes pride in being a friendly country, and no matter whether retirees choose to spend their time on the miles of gorgeous Caribbean front land, or they opt for something more sustainable and independent, the trend of retiring in this country is on the upswing and for good reason.

For those that are more realistic and want to make sure that they are choosing a safe place to enjoy their golden years, Belize offers tax breaks and boasts a strong Belize dollar.  The people couldn’t be friendlier in this sub-tropical climate, and the country itself is peaceful.  They are also a very environmentally friendly country, and this means that it’s easy to live a simpler lifestyle that many seek during retirement.

It’s close to the US, too, and for many Expats, that’s an important feature.  Retirees shouldn’t be turned off by the idea of living sustainably because all the modern conveniences are available too, gives retirees the best of both worlds.

For those that are tired of waiting for their Golden Years to begin and want to find an economical way to retire their way, the Cayo District Belize might be the perfect option.
