Why?
Although I'm not surprised you want to do the same thing forever. I've seen the same problem in many folks like you

In a local with extremely limited medical facility's and voodoo doctors which might be a consideration as you get old enough to retire.

The older you get the more you understand the the only things that really matter are Faith, Family, Friends and Food.

As a general question to all, what's stopping you from moving there now instead of waiting for a proverbial retirement? More of a hypothetical than practical question I know.
I'm retired. Due to health problems, all plans were washed out the door.
Another thing is if you have grandkids. There is no way in the world I could drag my wife away from the one we have.
We did a trip down in the Keys a few years ago looking at houses. That was before I got sick. Due to not being able to speak the local language, I said screw that crap.
Oh, it's not English for sure.

I wouldn't mind having a summer cabin in Sedona or Flagstaff or Prescott or Payson, AZ.

JVD is a day trip on a plane back to the states. And not expensive

I mean it does sound awesome to pack up and retire to Costa Rica. But logistics are what would bother me. What kind of healthcare would I have access to there?
We get so many retired snowbirds from Canada and the Midwest every winter. Many of them own condos here just for that. So why would I move away in the winter when it's perfect weather for my old arse. Just buy a cabin to go to in the summer months when my 70 year old arse isn't wanting to deal with the heat
And yet, I still have access to decent healthcare and family.

Fortunately, I can admit at this stage...Me is severely overrated.

The bad thing is a vacation home ties you to one place kinda. We are thinking about buying one now and that's something that came up

I'm kind of not a baller. Small beach condo and I'll be good.
