Panama +1

Been here since 2006. Self solvency visa will give you the opportunity for passport / citizenship.

Not without its' problems. Culture is vastly different than the USA and many things drive a lot of people crazy and they go back to where they came from.

The only thing here that is cheaper than the USA is domestic help, alcohol and seafood (well, hookers, cigs and cocaine if that's on your list).

Most property can be had with 20 year exoneration on taxes meaning you only pay taxes on the land and not the improvements. If you have income from outside the USA you may qualify for the foreign earned income tax credit.

Speaking Spanish is a definite plus. Speaking Panamanian Spanish even better. lol
