It's probably a great life until the locals get tired of the rich gringos.

Spent time in Central America. Nothing wrong with the people. Governments are deplorable. History of foreign owned property confiscation. Corruption. Hand and Cartel violence and influence.
If it were good there, why the mass movement fleeing to US ?
If it was good, how can there be asylum claims ?
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

It's like anything else .... location location. Probably aren't too many countries that don't have dangerous areas or government issues.

There's plenty of countries which would fit that bill but those would probably be considered too expensive for those retirees in the article you posted.

Yea for sure Panzer some are ..... for example Australia is mentioned but retirees (unless they changed the rules) need to show they have at least 500K in savings to move to Australia and retire.

wow ... 2 million ! Archie ....."I would not even think about living in Panama or any other central or south American nation. Too much corruption and political madness"
Lot of American retirees in Panama because its a politically stable country and has modern highways and high literacy rate. Since the Panama canal is an extremely important shipping lane for global trade there are plenty of countries that want Panama to remain a stable country.

Panama isn't quite Costa Rica-level "nice" and stable but it's close. Either way you are correct in you assessment since Panama has made huge strides in its development since the 90's.
