Work in the USA - Live in Panama
The world is shrinking. The daily commute is increasingly being replaced by the daily log-in. Some folks, like writers, freelance programmers, and even corporate execs who oversee far-flung operations, are able to work from wherever they are.
More and more of those people are choosing to live and work in Panama. They like the laid-back attitude of the local folks, the wonderful weather and the beautiful land.
Panama may sound far away but it takes less time to fly to Panama than it takes to fly from Miami to Chicago. Your U.S. dollars are the currency of the realm and the dollar goes a long way in Panama. Most people can live for 20 to 30 percent of what it costs to live in the good old U.S.A. That’s like getting a 300 percent raise in salary. Even those with a modest salary can live very well in this practically undiscovered little country.
The pace of life in Panama is relaxing and stress-free--perfect for unwinding or rewinding. Business executives, artisans, inventors, conservationists and students come to Panama from the U.S. for the same reasons--great beaches on both coasts, deep tropical forests and the chance to decompress.
If you need to get back to the states quickly, there are dozens of non-stop flights leaving Panama for U.S. destinations daily. You can be back in your home or business in hours, not days. In fact, Panama has robust Internet access and most business can be transacted right from your hammock.
Panama has inexpensive real estate and there is no housing slump. Any property that you buy today will most likely be worth more in the near-future. The money you can save on housing and living expenses can be used to shuttle back to the U.S. when necessary.
Most likely, however, once you move to Panama, you’ll find fewer reasons to return to the states. The weather is awesome. Your money goes further. The beaches are clean and wide open. The culture and the people are charming. You may find yourself spending more time in Panama than you might expect.
It’s habit-forming.
