The cost of spending a winter in Guatemala
Retiring abroad permanently may not be in your long term plans, but how about escaping the long and dark winters for 3-6 months a year?

I went through the comments and was really surprised to find that the vast majority said “of course not!” and there were some shy “maybes”, mostly pointing the rich are trying to keep their… Read more
