The dollar goes a long way in Granada—and the breathtakingly beautiful landscape doesn't hurt either.

Nicaragua? One of Central America’s poorest countries, where the U.S.-backed Contras once battled Daniel Ortega and his revolutionary Sandinistas? Retire there? Well, yes. In few other Latin countries does the dollar stretch further. Here, without doubt, you can live comfortably on Social Security.
A lot has changed in Nicaragua since the '80s and Iran-Contra. The capital city, Managua, while still rundown, squat, and ugly, now has shopping malls, casinos, and SUVs. And according to Tim Rogers, editor of Managua’s English-language paper, Nica Times, "While President Ortega employs strong revolutionary rhetoric when addressing his supporters, his government realizes the importance of attracting foreign investors and retirees."
For their part, retirees are drawn by a breathtakingly beautiful country of beaches, lakes, volcanoes, and pine forests, with vivid green parrots swooping through mangrove swamps. It has the same natural rain-forest beauty as do Costa Rica and Panama, only wilder and less explored. Sun-worshipping expats seeking a sybaritic beach life head to San Juan del Sur, a popular resort town on the Pacific Coast. Many others have gravitated to graceful, historic Granada, one of the loveliest colonial cities in Latin America, located along Lake Nicaragua, where they enjoy remarkable housing bargains and an easygoing lifestyle amid pastel buildings and welcoming cafés.
Four years ago, Darrell and Amy Bushnell, 60 and 54, moved to Granada from Charlotte, North Carolina, where Darrell worked in a large finance firm and Amy in home development. They purchased a three-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot colonial house with patio and pool for $180,000. They rent out one bedroom for $400 a month. "We wanted somewhere inexpensive," says Darrell, "and we looked at other Central and South American countries, but we kept coming back to Nicaragua, due to the cost of living, the beautiful country, and the gentle people." Darrell cautions that government corruption is a fact of life in Nicaragua, but he extols the opportunity for finding yourself: "You can live the tropical life in your dream house on the ocean, start a business in the mountains, or work with a foundation to help people and their children. Every day is an adventure."
More Americans Are Retiring Abroad

"An estimated half a million American seniors have moved overseas to retire in recent years, and that number is growing. Some relocate abroad to get a bigger bang for their ever-shrinking retirement buck. Others go in search of adventure.
Either way, the thought of living outside the U.S. is compelling for many. If you decide to make the move, be sure to do your homework first by looking into everything from medical costs and living expenses to a change in culture. And consider whether learning a foreign language is something you want to do.
Also, make sure you handle visa requirements, find out about taxes and know how to access your Social Security, as it can vary from country to country. One important point is that Medicare doesn’t apply overseas, and that means you will need to buy an international health-care plan to be covered.
Retirees Jay and Kathy Snyder moved to Nicaragua six years ago and haven’t looked back.
What they found in this small lush country in Central America is a beautiful land, populated by beautiful people, and a lifestyle that is good, if not better, than what they had in the States, said Jay. In their adopted country, they run a small hotel and a condominium building in a town called Granada.
The Snyders' relocation has been made easier, thanks to technology, such as email and Skype Internet phone service, that allows them to stay in touch with loved ones cheaply. Better yet, the lower cost of living abroad has taken away anxiety over money that many of their retired friends in the States struggle with chronically.
In fact, you can live comfortably in Nicaragua on Social Security. And if you own your place and have an income of $1,200 a month, you can live well. Add another $600 to that amount, and you will live extremely well. "
Nadene,
Thank you for assisting us with our move to Nicaragua and becoming Nicaraguan residents. We certainly could not have done it without you. You helped us through mountains of paperwork and red tape. You were there through months of delays and bureaucratic bungling, while we got our cedulas and imported our household goods, always on top of the situation and ready to help.
We would highly recommend your services to anyone wishing to move to Nicaragua. We are sure they will find them as indispensable as we did.
Thank you again,
Charles & RandyJane Reed

Bio
Nadene, originally from Canada, has been in business in Granada, Nicaragua for nine years. She is well-known and trusted in the business and government communities. She is raising four children.
Her first endeavor in Nicaragua was "Maverick", a one-stop souvenir shop with English books and refreshments, catering to tourists and expats mostly. "Maverick" became an institution in Granada, mentioned frequently in the international media coverage of Nicaraguan tourism.
As more and more newcomers began to arrive, they approached Nadene for advice and assistance. Details Management then grew into existence as an essential service that responds to specific individual needs and issues people have with settling into a different country and culture.
Details Management is now a team of two consultants and a lawyer/notary public.
