My evidence: the hundreds of interviews I\u2019ve done for <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Places in the World to Retire<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/download-free-ebooks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studies we did in which we asked expats about their lives abroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, many Americans and Canadians have not only moved abroad partly to search for a life reminiscent of an earlier time, but quite a few tell me that they\u2019ve found it \u2014 and in some very unlikely places, including <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mexico<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/panama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Panama<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/belize\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Belize<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/nicaragua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nicaragua<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"body-container\">\n<p>Here\u2019s what they told us:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Less Government Involvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may sound odd that the government in countries considered to be socialist would have <em>less<\/em> government involvement than in the U.S., but in the day-to-day lives of the locals, it\u2019s true. Whether these governments would <em>want<\/em> to be more involved or not, they simply don\u2019t have the resources to do so. That means locals find themselves doing some things that the federal and state governments often do in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving the government less involved creates an entirely different dynamic than north of the border,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/profile\/1940-santiagohe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Santiago Hernandez<\/a>, formerly from the Chicago area and now practicing in <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/chapala-ajijic,-mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ajijic, Mexico<\/a>, on Lake Chapala. \u201cIf there\u2019s a problem, most locals don\u2019t expect the government to fix it, so they either live with it or fix it themselves. This creates more community cohesion and a feeling of involvement and belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"body-container\">\n<p>While this is true of locals, it is even truer among expats, especially the \u201cfix it themselves\u201d part.<\/p>\n<p>In every location we cover at Best Places in the World to Retire, expats have formed charitable organizations completely independent of any government, for everything from spaying and neutering animals to beach cleanup to providing a library for local school children, as <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/profile\/1051-bushamy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daryl Bushnell<\/a> helped to do in <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/granada-nicaragua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Granada, Nicaragua<\/a> when he helped create and fund <em>Puedo Leer<\/em> (\u201cI can read\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"body-container\">\n<p>This is one reason why many locals are so grateful and happy to have expats live among them; it is natural for their new neighbors to help. And they are doing so in a place that not only needs their help, but where they can see the results firsthand, very intimately and frequently immediately. Expats have told me they find this very rewarding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Family Is Supreme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many expats have also told me that, as life in America becomes increasingly busy and disconnected, there has been a reduction in the importance of the family. But where they now live, they say, is more \u201clike it used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expats see entire extended, multi-generational families together constantly, whether having a barbeque at the park or working, perhaps at a small, family- run business, with everyone from grandma to the grandkids working side by side. Many times, the young children are the ones handling the money (which they\u2019re surprisingly good at!) in between doing their homework.<\/p>\n<p>The children, I\u2019ve been told, are more needed and seem to have more of a sense of belonging and self-worth than many north of the border.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elders Are Respected<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The expats also talk about a respect for the elders that they rarely see anymore in America or Canada.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/profile\/511-james\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James David Audlin<\/a> notes that every morning, when he gets on the bus in <a href=\"https:\/\/bestplacesintheworldtoretire.com\/questions-and-answers\/volcan-and-cerro-punta-chiriqui-province\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Volcan, Panama<\/a>, everyone greets him with \u201c<em>Buenos dias<\/em>.\u201d After he boards and someone new comes on, Audlin joins the welcoming committee. He Likes that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"body-container\">\n<div>\n<p>When my wife and I are eating at a restaurant in Mexico, it is not at all unusual for other diners to engage us, as total strangers, and say a simple, \u201c<em>Buen provecho<\/em>\u201d (\u201cEnjoy your meal\u201d). It\u2019s bad manners not to do that there.<\/p>\n<p>When I visited the Philippines a few years ago, I witnessed and took part in a beautiful tradition. Whenever one of the children would enter a multi-generational gathering, they wouldn\u2019t just start playing with their friends. Rather, the child would first go to each adult, take the adult\u2019s hand, and place it on the boy\u2019s or girl\u2019s forehead and ask for a blessing, which the adult would provide. Only after the child did this with each adult would the youngster then go play with the other kids.<\/p>\n<p>I found it very nice to be in this environment. Remember when we were children and entered a room, we would acknowledge adults first, in our own cultural way?<\/p>\n<p>Were \u201cthe olden days\u201d better in every way for every person, including minorities? Of course not. Are there other ways that life north of the border is better than south of the border? Of course there are. Do local family members sometimes work together because they need the money? Yes, many probably do. Are the larger cities south of the border becoming more like ones in the U.S. and Canada? In my opinion, regrettably, yes.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you long for the sense of community, respect and family you recall growing up, you\u2019ll find lots to appreciate and enjoy about life today in the popular expat destinations of Mexico, Panama, Belize and Nicaragua.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like a lot of other expats, Susie and
