Retirement,
If you are thinking of retirement and are concerned about how to best use your money, then this is the place where you can have the most for the least amount of money, and you still have your safety.
You could retire here for under $1000 dollars a month and live a great lifestyle. If you want great weather, 80's thoughout most the year and gets to around 90 degrees in the summer, and has the cheapest cost of living in the world. If this sounds good to you, then Margarita is the place for you. With all the the amenities the States has to offer and more, like free modern health care and very cheap private health coverage. Lots of people just pay as they go with private doctors and it is about 10-20% of what the price is in the States.
Transportation,
Transportation is no problem either, it is very easy to drive here, and taxis are very cheap. You would pay more in gas in the States to get somewhere then you would pay for the taxi ride itself here. There is no drinking and driving laws either, and no I'm not trying to get you to drive drunk, I am just saying it is up to your judgement as to when you cannot drive. In the States you can have 2 beers and be above the limit and it can cost you jail time and up to 20,000 dollars in total fees, fines, and lawyers.
Traveling,
If you are someone that likes to travel, then this is the best place in the world for you to make home base. Flights from here are almost half the price as they are in the States. You can even book a flight for a friend or family in the States from here and save them money.
Healthcare and Well-Being,
Now let's get to health issues; here on Margarita all produce foods are organic by law, and are very cheap. If you eat healthily you eat for very little money, if you choose to eat the American processed food you will spend a fortune and compromise your health, too. We have also noticed our family does not get common colds and flus as often as we did in the States, actually we get less than half of the sicknesses we got in the States. So we feel we live a much healthier lifestyle here on Margarita. The are lots of gyms, personal trainers, yoga, pilates, and fitness classes. So you can live a very healthy lifestyle here.
Entertainment,
Margarita island offers tons of entertainment. There are amusement parks, water parks, casinos, adult entertainment, tours, fishing, diving, snorkeling, ultra-light plane rides, bowling, mangroves, hiking, movie theatres, and much much more to see and do.
