Some countries offer all sorts of perks to people who move there to retire. I know that Panama and Ecuador are two of them - discounts on all sorts of things and inexpensive health care. And it doesn't depend on how long a person has lived there. It's fascinating to me that some of these other countries treat retirees better than we do here.
