Let us take a quick look at one of the best places to retire in the world – the Domincan Republic.
Surprisingly, many Americans have stumbled across this place by accident, often while they’ve been on vacation. But they seem to have been won over very quickly and taken the opportunity to relocate.
This is a region that is a feast for the eyes, with beautiful beaches, clear water, a wonderfully breezy environment and a lot more. But the reason why it is so popular is because it’s a place where you can live very comfortably for as little as $2,000 or even less. This sure is welcome news, whether you are a tourist or looking to invest in property here.
Although people in the Dominican Republic seem to earn less money, amazingly they are able to live much better than people in the United States. And what’s more, the pace of their lives is calm and unhurried. Their counterparts in the United States seem to be under much more pressure, earning good money, yet barely making ends meet.
Why is that? Because the cost of living in the United States is astronomical compared to the cost of living in the Dominican Republic. Add to this the fact that on top of all the privileges you have living in this country, you can actually get 18% interest on your bank account – tax free! Who could ask for more?
As a result, people have more time to really live their lives instead of beating their brains out just to make money – and just about get by after all they have been through. Compare that to the lazy laid back lifestyle of the Dominican Republic, where people have actually confessed to having become lazy with the leisurely pace of life that they have got accustomed to!
There’s no doubt about it, Dominicans are in the enviable position of being able to live life to the hilt. Remember, your dollar investments here are earning high rates of interest, all of which is tax-free. This is a country that has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. And then, take a look at health care facilities here. You won’t be disappointed – they are as modern as you need them to be.
As it happens, Europeans have been visiting the Dominican Republic for years. However, tourists from the United States made up less than 10% of the visitors. The result was that the beauty and amazing potential of this country dawned on Americans pretty late in the day.
Whether you are captivated by the scenery, the lifestyle, the nightlife or the climate, you can be sure that the Dominican Republic will be a place to remember – particularly if you are looking at it from the point of view of retirement.

The reemergence of this region in the 1990s has culminated in the transformation of the nation into one that can hold its own in the 21st century. Foreign direct investment has expanded a great deal since 1993 and has not stopped since.
Well, you certainly have stumbled on a rare gem, haven’t you? Now it’s up to you to make the most of this unique opportunity to secure your future. You know more about one of the top retirement destinations. So do make your decisions wisely and you will have no regrets!
