Shelley Emling is a reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The benefits of retirement abroad can include lower costs for medical care, household help, housing, and food, plus perhaps a more agreeable climate. These benefits can be offset by political instability, difficult cultural adjustments, awkward residency requirements, complicated tax situations, and distance from family and friends. In a fairly up-to-date manner, Emling, a journalist and world traveler, does a competent job of presenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of retiring in Latin America. In addition to the countries in the title, she covers only Guatemala and Ecuador. Still, because demographic trends point to increasing interest in this topic, her guide is a good selection for libraries serving an older and more restless clientele.?Harold Otness, Southern Oregon State Coll.
