Belize You Inspire Me

(CBS News) The Earth's population is depleting our planet's natural resources at a rate faster than what is needed for those resources to be replenished, putting increased pressure on biodiversity and the health of ecosystems, according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund.

The Living Planet Report 2012, a biennial report on the state of the planet, measures the planet's biocapacity - the rate at which natural resources are generated vs. human consumption, and the land area available to produce renewable resources and absorb CO2 emissions - and finds that humans are overextending their footprint on the planet.

I have read Danny Vasquez’s book, The Little World of Danny Vasquez, three times and every time I do, I enjoy it with a different perspective. This particular topic on prostitution is very revealing and enjoyable. Be reminded that Danny Vasquez was a Sanpedrano born in 1902 and he lived through these experiences.

Danny writes: When I was a youngster, hardly a man in the village, I was faithful to my wife. Some were, of course, but very few.” Danny went on to explain that those men who had economic control others, in other words the rich employers, used their power and money to seduce the wives and the daughters of the ordinary laboring men. Then Danny writes: “When I was 21, I had a child with a servant girl. I admitted paternity and paid for the child’s maintenance every week until he was old enough to be a man.”

You can live in Belize on $500. a month but $1,000. a month is a more realistic budget as these expats will tell you. We look at costs of living, rental and home construction costs.

Belize is not only for a vacation - it may be the place where you could retire.

Belize has lots going for it as a retirement destination. Language, culture, legal system, warm climate, proximity to Mexico for unwinding or vacationing away from Belize - but what about the cost of living? Belize deservedly has a reputation for being the most expensive country in Central America. Airfare is outrageously expensive and the small population means merchants have to do heavy markups on imports to make a decent living.

Many publications tout Belize as being cheap but this is not the case. Reasonable Yes. Cheap No. Can you live in Belize on $500. a month? Maybe.

Cost of living: Belize is second on the Global Retirement Index for cost of living, but 19th for real estate. A retired American couple can live comfortably in Belize on $2,500 a month.
