Each and every day, approximately 10,000 baby boomers celebrate their 65th birthday. Most people identify the arrival of age 65 with the event of “retirement” and the receipt of Social Security benefits. Actually, the age of full Social Security retirement benefits for most baby boomers is currently age 66. Reduced benefits with earned income limitations can be taken as early as age 62. Should you take the money at 62 or 66 or somewhere in between? So, what’s best?
The International Community Foundation is pleased to announce its “Retiring Responsibly in Mexico” research series with our first report “U.S. Retirements Trends in Mexico’s Coastal Communities: Lifestyle Trends and Demographics.” You can access the report here: http://www.icfdn.org/publications/retireeresearch/.
Forthcoming research studies will address trends in health care, volunteerism, philanthropy and civic engagement, real estate as well as the environment. For more information on the International Community Foundation, visit our website at http://www.icfdn.org.

Discover Tour Announced-RoatanPosted by Larry Schlesser in Roatan , retirement , real estate , Investment , Honduras , homes , Caribbean , Bay Islands , Baby Boomers |

-Timing is Everything!
Last summer I announced that Roatan Real Estate would start a new program, the “Discovery Investment Tour”. These are a great option for people who wonder if this island is the right place for them. People who are considering a vacation home, or maybe a retirement residence or maybe just for an investment. These tours are a very positive way for you to spend a great week on a tropical island, be part of a group of people who are also wondering if this is the place for them and have a complete package of
information and qualified experts to answer any question you may have. This type of tour has experts from all venues; an Attorney, Title Insurance Personnel, Ex-Pats who have made the move before you, an Accountant, and others. No pressure, no stress, just a great time on a tropical island for you to get every question answered.
HOW DO WE SPEND OUR TIME IN PÁTZCUARO?
A New Boomer Member recently sent me a message saying that she and her husband were looking for a retirement place in Latin America and asked if I could share our daily experience living in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, Mexico. She asked, “Is the assimilation difficult? How important is the language? How are the locals treating you? What is the price of the real estate? How much on average does it take to live there a month? Sorry for this many questions, we cannot find any sources yet to have a good objective overview of living in Mexico.” I answered her with an email, but it seems to me that many people, who have not yet made the move to overseas living, probably have the same or similar questions. So, I would like to share the comments I sent in my email to the New Member.
Mexican Presidency published last week a good news for all the residents of the State of Guanajuato where San Miguel de Allende is located, a popular city for Americans and Canadians to retire.
Mexico's Health Care is a mix of several options any Mexican or person living or visiting in Mexico has to take care of his/her health by a constitutional mandate.

Writing from the garden of our real estate office in Ajijic (a village on the shores of Lake Chapala) on a lovely Friday afternoon in August, temperature about 83 degrees, a cold Corona in my hand....
I live in work in Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico. We have the largest population of Americans anywhere outside of the US and we expect many more of the baby boomers to make their way down here. Some of the main reasons that people move here are:

Moving to a new country is not easy but new technologies like Social Media, Online Communities & Social Networks, like Boomers Abroad, can make this transition much smoother. It is impressive to be able to break distances and time. It is great to be able to make your homework from your home before you travel. It is outstanding to make friends and contact people that already live where you want to move.
Online social communities have begun popping up all over the internet. As an expatriate, these type of Social Networks can be an incredible resource as you transition to your new country. Whether you are looking for Information, education, alternatives, meet new friends, locate old ones, or gain professional contacts, you are bound to find the people you are looking for online. If you haven't yet relocated to your new country yet, now is a great time to join these type of online communites. Create a profile and begin adding friends. As your network expands, you may find that your current friends already have contacts in your new country. They could introduce you, and then you would already have acquaintances there when you arrive. Already living in your new country? These type of social communities also have groups you can join to meet others with a similar interest.

The music venue in a cow pasture in New York state that defined a decade, Woodstock, turns 40 years old this weekend. Approximately a half million mostly young, college-age people attended the 32 act music festival. Greats like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, CCR entertained the rain and mud covered, ‘hazy’ revelers. The event lasted 3 days, even longer for those who had to figure out where they were.
At BoomersAbroad.com online community members can ask experts their questions, create their own profiles, join groups of those who share their particular interests, create their own groups, make friends, upload photos, and have their own blogs, among other features. Using the online community model, our goal is to provide the necessary information, education, guidance, resources, tools and alternatives to start boomers down the path of discovering and understanding all that living, retiring and investing abroad has to offer.
