Acording to an article in the ContraCosta Times, Baby Boomers are finding more exotic retirement locales than their blue-haired elders. Central America is becoming the hot new place, thanks to relatively inexpensive beachfront property, stablized infrastructures, and cheap flights back to the United States. AARP Magazine recently had an article about Boomers retiring to Mexico, for similar reasons. If the choice is between the Early Bird Special in Miami or an oceanfront casa in Costa Rica, excuse me while I dash off to the passport office.

Here is our boomer retirement in Mexico story.

Eight short years ago, when the dotcom bubble was bursting in and around us in Silicon Valley, California, my wife and I decided to do something different.

We decided to shutter our business in Silicon Valley and check out of the rat race for a while and travel Mexico. We were your classic workaholic professional couple and had not had a 10 day vacation in more than 18 years!

During our three month trip, we wound up buying a fabulous modern Mexican villa on the shores of Lake Chapala. There is a decent sized English speaking expat population in the village of Ajijic.

We came home with the plan to sell our Los Gatos abode and get out of Dodge. Which we did.

And at age 46, we packed up and moved to Mexico.

We are sooo glad we did what we did and have not looked back.

Happily Retired Boomer in Ajijic, Mexico,

Joel
