I guess life could be pretty boring if all you did was sit around. People read, go for walks and enjoy friends. Retired people have the time to pretty much do what they want. I tried retired life and it lasted two weeks. I have a gold dredge and work it in some of the roughest country in Nicaragua. We have met some very good people back in the mountains. You can learn a lot from these people that have never had a pot to piss in or window to throw it out of. They are very open and honest. You are either good or bad to them. I feel pretty lucky being able to do this being I have two artificial knees, neck surgery, two back operations, screws and pins it one ankle and the right femur. I am 6' 6" tall 240 # and no fat. The jungle and mountains are good for you. The surgeries are a result of being shot down in Vietnam. This is me and I feel damn lucky that I was able to be put back together. Many of my friends were not.
I do not condemn or berate people that like the dull and boring retired life. I tried it and it just didn't fit There are probably some retired people here that are physically unable to work. There are those that have enough money that they don't have to work and just want to enjoy it. Many people probably came here because they got tired of the BS where they came from and do not want it following them here. We live in a small fishing village and have a few American friends here because a few are all that is here. We have some very good Swedish friends, South Africa and from England. If we wanted to live with a bunch of Americans, we would have stayed in Texas.
Nicaragua is a great place to live and yes there is opportunity here. However, if you are one of those old retired boring individuals that just want to sit on your butt, enjoy the hell out of it and best of luck to you. We are happy to have you in Nicaragua. If you don't have anything else to do, drop by, sit on your butt for a visit.
Have a great day.
