An excerpt from the book:
Recent trends are showing that more and more retirees are looking overseas to spend their twilight years and Ecuador is quickly becoming one of the top international destinations to retire. Not only does Ecuador provide an array of culture and natural beauty, this South American country has a significantly lower cost of living. Retirees looking to make the most of their ‘nest egg’ can definitely take advantage of the fact that the Ecuador government guarantees the same benefits for retirees regardless if they are citizens or foreigners. Government benefits for local and foreigner retirees alike include: • 50% off public and private transport within Ecuador. • 50% off tickets for cultural events, movies, and sporting events. • 50% off electric and water utility bills (below specified levels). • 50% off airfare tickets to the US for flights originating from Ecuador. • Free domestic landline service (excluding long distance). • Reduced taxes, including sales and income taxes In addition to the wonderful benefits for seniors, there are laws in place that allow those who are over 65 to automatically go to the front of any line, in any public center. This means you will be ushered to the front of the line at the bank, post office, movie theaters, or checkout line, allowing you to spend more of your free time enjoying Ecuador and your retirement. The currency used in Ecuador is the US dollar. This will save you from having to make conversions and worrying about getting a good rate, especially if you are a US citizen. There are many large banking institutions to choose from and most will allow the direct deposit of US social security checks. Furthermore, there are ATMs available almost everywhere, allowing easy access to funds. You can expect to live very comfortably and happily with a pension of $2,000 USD per month.Tags: Ecuador retirement, retirement planning, best places to retire in, retirement books, where to retire, retirement locations, early retirement, best places to live in Ecuador, best places to retire overseas, international retirement
