Retired American
How is living in Panama for a somewhat retired American citizen?
My Mother is retired from the U.S. Air Force, now an ordained minister, and considering relocating to Panama (country, not the city in Florida state). What are the overall conditions and experience like there?
Hey there. My friends who come to my travel agency always buy tickets to go to Panama and the foolowing is what they told me.
The good side side:
Weather is fairly nice. It is approximately 75 degrees every single day with the highest of being 85 degrees.
Going to the supermarket: the cost of the spermarket will vary from supermarket to supermarket but keep one thing in mind that the prices are much cheaper in Panama than in the United States.
Going to a pharmacy: the average pharmacy, whether or not it is Super Farma or the pharmacy that is in the supermakets like: El Rey, Super 99 or even Riba – Smith will povide you a discount that is between 15% to 17% off.
Dining out: Whether or not to dine out at any restaurant you are bound to save 25% per person and if you are in a budget those savings truely does help out a lot.
Using a taxi: The cheapest way of hoping around town is by using a taxi in which it costs $ 1.00 for you and 25 cents for every passanger there of. Meaning if you take a take a taxi, from the street just the two of you, it will cost you $1.25 but if you call for a taxi to come to pick you up then you have to pay an additional 40 cents. Sundays, national holidays and pick ups after 10p.m. willl cost you an additional 15 cents.
Using the internet – There are plenty of internet cafes in Panama that cost about $ 1.00 an hour
Staying at a hotel: most hotels provide discounts for retirees
that were in the military.
Banking in Panama is simple and quick. All she needs is are two people who do know her as references and she could transfer the money to her account bank to bank. Please watch out if the amount that she is going to bring to panama is greater than 10,000 because if so, she will have to declare it at the customs.
if you need any additional help, please do not hesitate to contact me via email where I can answer all of your questions honestly.
