LIVE like a LORD . . . . Abroad !!

HUSH - HUSH . . . but some Former British Colonies have recently introduced special retiree settlement programs - Go for it !!

	"We came here for the fishing - but some of our mates came here for "other things" Bob came here because he was really fed up with damp dismal UK weather, his rheumatism, and Clara's arthritis. Pete came here because he's just a lazy old sod who spends all day "chatting-up" the local beach belles."
	"The first thing I did on arriving was to buy a small boat - it cost me just £40 complete with oars, and it's great fun for messing about on the beach."

This Guide is excerpted and adapted from sections of BizBusters Retirement Guide, How to Live in a Tropical Paradise on £250 a Month. By Stan Wheeler who found his sunshine paradise and discovered five more along the way, along with many other countries in the sunny, sea-swept new Sun Belt retirement and relocation area, according to trend spotters. The market is huge: millions of UK and U.S. baby boomers will begin to retire in the next decade, reports the Trends Research Institute, a Rhinebeck, New York, consulting firm. This doesn't include affluent Europeans, Canadians, and others around the world who are reaching retirement age by the tens of millions. Others aren't waiting for the traditional retirement age to pack up and move to warmer, happier climes. It is predicted that a "massive new migration" of retirees and others will start settling abroad, lured by low living costs and warm weather. Other experts, however, call that conclusion speculative and predict that the total number of expats is likely to be small.

Among these favourite spots are little-known unspoilt arears on the med, and several within former British Colonies which have recently introduced special retiree settlement programs.

A small former British mainland Colony offers a lot to potential retirees and other new residents. Land and housing costs are still cheap, especially compared with already popular areas of the Caribbean such as the Cayman Islands, the BVI, St. Maarten, and Anguilla. The availability of inexpensive household and other help allows retirees to spend more time on personal interests and community involvement. The official language is English, and the historical and legal background of the country is more familiar to those in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain than most other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The country has a stable and democratic, if sometimes colorful, tradition. Recreational activities, on land and in the beautiful Caribbean, are almost limitless. Sometimes, it's the little things that bother you: Can you do without a classical music station or "All Things Considered" on National Public Radio. Are you willing to live without The Daily Mirror or The Times, the latest best-sellers, or trendy gourmet foods? The author of Frommer's Best Beach Vacations, Carolinas and Georgia, published by Macmillan in 1996, Sluder has contributed to many magazines and newspapers around the world, including the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, Bangkok Post, Caribbean Travel & Life, and the Miami Herald. Many North Americans and Europeans have a dream of living where the water is blue, the air is warm, the rum is cheap and the living is easy.

Dabbling its toes in the tropical Sea, this former colony has more in common with its island neighbours English-speaking, Creole-dominated and with a thoroughly coup-free history, most of this tiny country has an atmosphere so laid-back it's almost comatose.
