Retirement in Ecuador

If you're hoping to stretch your retirement dollars farther, moving abroad may be the answer. Living in a foreign country offers a chance to see more of the world and can offer you a lower cost of living. This podcast is brought to you by SucreLanguage Center. I am Jefferson and today we'll be talking about the benefits and challenges you may face if you're thinking about retiring abroad, welcome and enjoy.

I'm here with David and Deb they are a lovely couple from the United States but currently living hearing Ecuador and they’ll give us insight into livingin Ecuador as a retiree, welcome Deb and David it's nice to have you guys here. Thank you, Jeff thank you thank, you how, have you been? we're just doing fine living life in paradise, great okay.First of all can you tell us a little bit more about you maybe where you are from a which city you are from, about maybe your family and things like that? sure before we moved to Ecuador our last home of 20 years was in southern New Mexico in a small town called Las Cruces and Las Cruces is about 30 miles from el Paso Texasand Ciudad Juarez. We have 2 daughters -1 is 28 and 1 is 32 and they both live in the United States 1 in San Antonio on 1 in Sacramento. And they've come to visit us several times here in Ecuador and I absolutely love coming to visit. I'm a retired teacher and a retired lawyer.

Okay you I'm a retired telecom and advertising sales person it was great. Okay, when you think about retiring, including me, I think about like enjoying time with my family, doing things I love you know things like that but in my home country doing that in my home country and when I found out that more and more people are deciding to retire abroad that blew my mind, David why retiring in a foreign land?. Well there's an adventure side of it mmhm there's also a very practical cost of living side. IfDeb and I had stayed in the United States we would never have been able to retire because what we expected standard of living, we could never get with our retirement paychecks but here in Ecuador our retirement checks go very far and we can live very well.
