 Looking for the next chapter in my life. April 26, 2008
I'm a baby boomer and actively looking for a warm, hospitable place to retire. My budget limits the choices, and I don't want to work for Wal-Mart or someone else to supplement my retirement benefits. I've been hesitant to look at foreign countries as a place to begin my next chapter in life, but this book has convinced me to look at Panama.
In this book, I learned Panama welcomes retirees with financial incentives, and I was surprised to learn the currency is the US dollar. The information in this book is well organized and full of facts about recreation (I'm a golfer and fisherman), medical care, and insurance. The moderate housing costs, wonderful climate in the highlands, and the detailed immigration requirements made me appreciate the prospects of actually living in Panama. I am planning to visit the country soon to determine first hand if this is the place to begin that next chapter.
I liked it and felt that..... March 29, 2008
the book was well done and offers good value for the money. I recommend it.

Enjoyed the book but a little lite on real information. Most information is available on the web and it is free. I feel book over priced,however, some valuable information.
Review--Panama September 9, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After retiring a few years ago and living in the Colorado rockies, I'm now ready for a warm climate, and my budget absolutely demands a low cost of living. After reading Choose Panama the Perfect Retirement Haven (second edition), I discovered a country I hadn't even considered. I had no idea Panama was such a find for retirees.
This book is well organized and easy to read. It's full of facts, not just about the nice places to live, but all the other things a retiree needs to know like housing costs, climate, cost of living, medical insurance and medical care. Also, the author walks you through the immigration options offered by the government of Panama. I give it five stars.

Hutchings' "Choose Panama" is a Winner August 17, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
As a resident of Boquete, Panama, for the past four years, I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Hutchings when he was researching his first edition of "Choose Panama." And as a longtime editor, I was impressed with the fact that this is a writer who understands that a book on retiring in another country is quite different from a book on simply traveling in that country.
The second edition of "Choose Panama" is even better than the first. Millions of baby boomers will retire in the coming decades and with the uncertainty of retirement benefits, including Social Security, many will think about retiring overseas. Hutchings points out that Panama deserves serious consideration. Low cost of living, "choose your climate" options, stable government, low crime rate, proximity to the U.S.--all these and more make Panama an excellent choice. Read all the available books. I have found Hutchings' work the best of the lot.
