Bet him $5000 they will be back within 5 years.
You owe me 20% for the idea.

Belize is the only Central American country where English is regularly spoken. Was formerly referred to as British Honduras. It's an absolutely great place to visit. Cool mix of British, black Caribbean, Hispanic and Mayan culture.

Not under British rule since I believe the late 50's

Belize is fully independent and is a member of the British commonwealth the same as Canada, Jamaica, the Bahamas, India, Australia etc

Belize is pretty fricking awesome.
I believe it's still under British rule.
So is it a police state like the mother country?

Yup, it’s poor and there’s lots of crime. I believe locals have to show a worker pass to get into the tourist area. If they’re getting older the quality of healthcare may be a problem.

i know a handful of people that left for Belize people of the beauty and the cost of living.

Huh? What’s wrong with expat life? It’s not like you are renouncing your country? I’ve lived in Japan and basically lived in Costa Rica I went back and forth so much for 2 years.
Do yourself a favor- go to YouTube and google “ real estate Thailand” and imagine buying a nice home for 100k and think about being able to live very comfortably off $1500 a month. In a country where a bottle of water costs 10 cents and where a quick lunch costs $2 and where everyone smiles and there are beaches and jungles everywhere. Look at how cheap life is in Eastern Europe if Asia isn’t your speed. Check out Albania. Or Uraguay if you want parts unknown south. Why not go somewhere where you can increase your standard of living and have a lot of adventure. I’m planning my exit every day. Doesn’t mean I don’t love America it just means I’m tired of having 6 months of bills in one .

doubt many ex-pats are settling in Belize City
Posted on 11/18/24 at 8:24 am to Zoomie3390
Have you thought about joining them?

Belize is a great place to move if you want to get away. It’s a short flight from the us, the exchange rate is simple, 2-1, and it’s really cheap to live there. I’ve thought about retiring down there.

Costa Rica is a way better choice for expats than Belize imo

Moving to a country like that is risky. When shite hits fan the first people to get killed will be the dumb rich american expats Better to have land out west in a remote area
Oh and the period apps. Have to delete those so JD Vance and Elon don’t track you and find out you missed a period because they’ll force you to birth a child

Idk, I've been and the islands seem very "middle class retired white guys moving to be beach bums." Everywhere is a tourist trap and feels fake. The mainland is awful and poor. It's nice to visit for diving and fly fishing but not to live.
