Still dreaming

I have found that my dreaming of moving to Mexico or Central America when I retire has not lessened at all.  I am still looking at websites, blogs and books about living in those areas.  I am in the process of refinancing my house to lower my rate to 4.75%, and am planning to put the difference in my payment into my IRA.  If I do that right away, I won't miss the money!

Also I met with the director of the Verbo Nicaragua Development Fund over lunch on Monday.  He gave me a great overview of some of the humanitarian missions being done in Nicaragua by his organization.  We have tentatively decided that I should go with him in late August or early September.  I have figured out a simple system that the businesses could use to track income and expenses, so I should be able to teach the workers pretty easily.  I look forward to the trip!

  1. Mike, I stumbled upon your blog through Paul's Hammock Musings ... I go there to keep my Merida move real. I've bought a place there, but haven't closed, been waiting for months for the Canadian sellers to get their docs in order.

    When I read your posts, I thought my site might somehow help you on your journey: it's at www.plan-b-retirement.com . Hope it's useful!
