Earning An Income While Retired in Costa Rica Becomes More Important Each Day!

Wanna’ teach people how to surf in that big blue Pacific ocean under the hot Guanacaste sun, while having fun and making money?

You might enjoy life in a Florida “retirement community” watching TV and going to the mall occasionally but since “seventy-five percent of Americans nearing retirement age…” have “…less than $30,000 in their retirement accounts” millions of retired people will unfortunately be facing the poorest, most miserable time of their lives.

You’ve probably heard the expression: “If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you will keep getting what you’ve always got!”

We should remember this when we look at how people and governments spend the money that they have and more importantly, money that they don’t have and are borrowing.

For those who are too busy with their frantic, daily lives to notice – and this is by design – whether you appreciate it or not, we are all literally watching the U.S. economy collapse…

“To maintain living standards into old age we need roughly 20 times our annual income in financial wealth. If you earn $100,000 at retirement, you need about $2 million beyond what you will receive from Social Security.”

How many of us have that kind of money?

Do you have 20 times your annual salary in your retirement fund? Does your spouse?

And right now, there are approximately 56 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits and by 2035, that number is projected to soar to an astounding 91 million.

Where will this money come from to pay 62% more people who will supposedly be collecting Social Security?

All the while the U.S. continues to print $40 billion per month out of thin air which means the dollars you have will buy you less and less each month…

What does it mean that the Fed can just up and print $40 billion per month indefinitely without performing any work whatsoever?

“Well, let’s put that in context. If an individual earns $50,000 per year, then each month the Fed is effectively printing up the yearly output of 800,000 such individuals. Said another way, if you earn $50K, then you’d have to work for 800,000 years to earn the same amount of money the Fed prints each month.”

And your health care in the U.S. is going to get even more complicado and more expensive.

“Compare the health of the American people with our peer nations — with Britain, Canada and Australia; with Japan; with the Scandinavian countries; with France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Side by side with the world’s wealthy democracies, America comes in last, and over the past several decades, it’s only gotten worse.”

“Our newborns are less likely to reach their first birthday, or their fifth birthday. Our adolescents die at higher rates from car crashes and homicides, and they have the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections. Americans have the highest incidence of AIDS, the highest obesity rates, the highest diabetes rates among adults 20 and older, the highest rates of chronic lung disease and heart disease and drug-related deaths.”

And do you think Obamacare will help?

“Americans will be shocked to learn the extent to which they have been deceived. The legislation neither protects the patient nor are the plans affordable.”

In 1965 only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid and today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid and the number of Americans on Medicare is projected to grow from 50.7 million in 2012 to 73.2 million in 2025.

If you agree (as I do) with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts who asks: “Will Americans wake up in time? I wish I could answer, “yes,” but I regret that Americans are an insouciant people. They are unaware. Americans are more concerned with sports events, sales, and which celebrities are sleeping together than they are with their liberty. Washington can create a police state, because there are insufficient citizens with the intelligence, education, and awareness to stop Washington…”

Then it is definitely time for you to implement your Plan ‘B’ and move to Costa Rica now because clearly all of this is financially unsustainable. Earning a consistent private income will become more and more of a necessity and not just wishful thinking. Even ‘if’ you continue to receive your Social Security, it will buy you less and less as time goes on.

So if you’re the kind of person who wants to enjoy a different kind of retirement where you can own a small business in Costa Rica and make some money while having fun in the sun, then you should think more seriously about investing in income producing real estate or consider starting a small business in a field you already know…

Or take a look at the top ranked surfing business we have for sale for just US$129K. Owning a surf business in Costa Rica won’t make you a millionaire overnight but it should earn you about five times as much as the average Social Security cheque and…

Always remember that you can always expect the unexpected in Costa Rica – it will keep you young!
