Had my son look for some land down there in Texas for me when I retire,he said if you could find land for sale,small plot now will sale $200,000.
It's what they call the Texas Riviera.
He said cross the border,and we could get more the buck there!
Neighbor a block or two around the corner from me said he sold his house and bought one in Panama,said it was the fourth
best sought after retirement tropical area,and your money would go a lot further as well.

I've been to Panama, talk about tropical! I don't think you can find a plant that would die from cold there. Maybe one! LOL...
