Retire To Island Or Mainland?

9 years ago
Hi,

I am looking at retiring early, to spend time with my wife after she was injured in an accident. This means a big hit to retirement income, and we will need to hire a maid to assist her with the shopping, cooking, laundry, and cleaning.
We were raised on farms, and enjoy gardening, and fruit and nut trees, raising our own food.
We love fishing, I haven't been scuba diving for 28 years, but I understand Roatan has some of the best.

Cost of living may be easier on our budget if we choose mainland, but violent crime is a concern.

Any insight would be helpful.
