I have been living in Canada for 11j years already and what is of good here is work only, nothing else. Nothing connects the people here and is not very socializing country. Also is expensive for a retired person live here or in the States in general. Since mostly or the retires look forward low expenses places, quality of live and nice people for a place to retire I am considering partially retire from Winter time in Canada and live in some place in Brazil, some of the places are very affordable. Specially in the north of Brazil or the suburbs. Criminallity exists, but you have to know to survive, you can be overprotected all your life by the Queen or Uncle Sam, don't you? So be mature and adapt to other scenario. I live in Rio before and criminallity exist, also a monster inflation but there is the beach, the fun and the currency benefits. Somebody told me also that Nicaragua is getting one of the places more affordables to live for retired North Americans, but I don't know to...
