This is your main text area. I'd recommend putting in some general text here and then an image or such justified to the right to help
balance out the page. This page should be very keyword dense and should basically be a couple of good marketing paragraphs about the business. All of the rest
of the text that follows is dummy page filler.
The answer for a growing number of Americans making the leap into early retirement is moving to a country with a lower cost of living. The U.S. State Department estimates some 4 million Americans live abroad, not counting military and embassy folks. About a quarter of those are estimated to be retirees.
Poke around on the Web, and you’ll find a whole industry devoted to retirees looking to live like a despot on $15 a day -- usually under tropical skies with daily maid service and umbrella-bedecked drinks thrown in for good measure.
Louisiana banker Tom Vidrine, for example, fell in love with Belize on his first trip to the Central American country in 1990. He bought a vacation home and spent the next seven years saving money so that he could retire in 1997 at the ripe old age of 45. He says an American can live a comfortable life on one of Belize’s many tropical islands for $2,000 a month, or half of that on the mainland.
