Wow! That is quite a major change in your life and lifestyle! I am sure I am not the only one who would be curious as to how you picked Ecuador to retire to. Yes, I know it's warm, but there's gotta be more to it . . . :@
In any case, good luck in your new adventure!!!:)
Well...we owned our own business and after 9/11 our business income was drastically reduced..and our pension income went down the drain..we were lucky to sell the business but our RRSP's are minimal as we had to start all over again..I am not complaining as the economy has hurt others much worse than us..we were able to become employed and have had a comfortable existence for the last few years . Bellas death really threw me for a loop...after looking after her for all those years with a chronic illness, I found my life to be a bit empty..yes, I do have 2 other wees but life has just lost some of its spark... we had always planned on retiring to Chelem Mx...even had a new DVM there LOL..you can see what my priorities are LOL..but the Mx government changed the immigration requirements last Nov and its a bit too pricey for us now..so I started researching for another warm climate and EC seems to meet all that we want out of life...good weather..large expanses of beach to walk on...and we will be financially very comfortable there... and if it doesn't suit us, we can always come back home...just a matter of buying a few pieces of furniture and renting a place LOL As a nurse I see people all the time that wish they had followed their dreams and didn't..so I am determined to follow mine...just wish I had my little beachbum Bella with me !
