Guanaja Honduras - Retirement, What's That?

Retire in Guanaja Honduras?

My husband and I are part of the baby boom generation....that means being born between 1946 and 1964. We are at the point in our lives where mainstream American would consider us retired because we don't go out to work a nine to five job, but in actuality we have never "worked" harder. According to many surveys that seems to be the new "wave" retirement. This isn't your Mom and Dad's retirement, kids! The Baby Boomers want more from life, age is just a number and we are ready to go looking for it!

ADVENTURES! That's what it is all about.

Honduras has a lot to offer in the way of retirement benefits. Retirement in Honduras does not mean being far from family in America. It is only two hours from the United States by air, and four Honduran international airports make it easy to schedule travel. Property taxes are low, health care, with many US trained doctors, is available and other tax incentives are offered if you decide you want to do business in the tourism industry.

If you lead a fairly active lifestyle you might want to go white water rafting, hiking, fishing, scuba diving or snorkeling. The Bay Islands are surrounded by the world's second largest coral reef. Maybe you want to slow down a bit...... Honduras' beaches, waterfalls, lakes, and cloud forests provide beautiful settings for spas and retreats.

Need help at your hacienda so you can enjoy all this beauty? A maid or a gardener will only set you back about eight dollars a day US. The average American can live "large" with a small pension of $1,000-1,500 a month!

This sounds like paradise to me!

Retire in Guanaja? Maybe! The investigation continues!
