If you’re approaching retirement age, you’re probably looking at your retirement savings and wondering whether you can afford to leave the working world. Studies now indicate that people who are in the age group most likely to retire, are instead delaying their retirement. One of their major concerns is the mushrooming cost of health care. When they look into their retirement options, they find that a Puerto Vallarta luxury home comes with health benefits that make a comfortable retirement possible.

How? Health care is, by far, the most significant retirement expense. In 2008, a US retiree can expect to spend $250,000 on medical expenses, starting at the point of retirement. Retirees who live into their nineties can expect to pay $400,000. Even with substantial retirement savings, most retirees can’t afford that.

However, when you consider that the cost of living in Mexico is significantly less than it is in the US, a retiree with “average” savings can stretch his or her dollars to cover the cost of retirement in style. One reason is that the cost of medical care in Puerto Vallarta is far less expensive than it is in the US. You can find high quality care here, including specialty care. In fact, one physician is in the process of establishing a bariatric surgery center for surgical treatment that shows real promise in eliminating diabetes. This particular surgical intervention was featured on 60 Minutes recently and is based on research and observation done in the US and in Italy.

By considering retirement in Mexico, where the cost of health care, prescription medication and the cost of living is much lower, people who thought they could never afford retirement are not only enjoying retirement here, they’re living in the comfort of a Puerto Vallarta luxury home. They enjoy an outstanding climate, excellent health care, affordable cost of living, regular personal and household assistance, low taxes and a great return on their investment, along with the security of full ownership rights to some of the most incredible Pacific Coast properties, which can be passed on to family members as part of an estate.

People tend to equate luxury with excess, but in the case of a Puerto Vallarta luxury home, it happens to be a very good way to preserve retirement capital and take advantage of the growth in the market here at the same time. You won’t find many investment opportunities like this. You don’t need to wait years to see your investment value soar. Within just a few years, the money you’ve invested could double, or even triple in the conditions present right now in Puerto Vallarta.

If you’re considering retirement and think you can’t afford it, think again.
