OUR LIBRARY FOR RETIRING OR LIVING IN BELIZE

BELIZE RETIREMENT GUIDE: How to Live in a Tropical Paradise on $450 a Month US $35
The essential guide for anyone even thinking about moving to or retiring in Belize. Only a fool would tackle Belize without it. Having been to Belize on a few occassions and having read many books on Belize this is the only one I know that is written by expatriates actually living in Belize. A must for anyone wanting to know the real ins and outs of Belize.

SPECIAL BELIZE REPORTS: The Special Reports begin where our Belize Retirement Guide leaves off. With so much information constantly changing, these reports fill the vacuum by providing up-to-date and in-depth information. These special reports address specific areas of importance to retirees, expatriates, and travelers planning to visit or live in Belize. Each report is the latest on the subject. There are few, if any, books/articles on these subjects. These reports are one-of-a-kind storehouses of information at your fingertips. We have combined extensive research with our personal experience and condensed it into a concentrated report.

To say that these reports can save you time, money and hassle is a real understatement. To find out some of this information on your own, not only would you have to travel to Belize, you would have to live here for quite a while! This is all of the stuff that we wish we would have known before we moved to Belize. It would have saved us thousands of dollars and years of effort.
