I am dreaming of a place to relocate from Denver, Colorado, that is warm year-round, has good healthcare, good food and entertainment and where two of us can afford to have a housekeeper on less than three of thousand dollars a month.

I am 59 years old. I don't want to start taking Social Security until I'm 70, so I'll need an income until then. I don't have much in savings anymore.

I'm thinking somewhere in Panama will check all the boxes I want. I love the convenience of the city and all it offers, but might be drawn to a suburb.

In other words, I haven't found my Shangri-La yet, but am looking.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all your input.

I think the city is the most expensive and stressful place to live. Maybe look at Coronado area if you like beach, or Boquete if you like mountains. But, depending on what you mean by good food and entertainment it might have to be the city.

How will you earn the income you need?
