Retire early and live abroad: These beach escapes are so cheap you might not need to work.
... [+]Do you often dream of quitting your day job or retiring early and moving to a beach town that's so cheap you can live for next to nothing in a tropical paradise? A new report from the editors of the website International Living reveals that will help make that daydream a reality. The location: Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where you'll find off-the-radar coastal communities that are so cheap you might not need to work.
“Most vacationers who know of Mexico’s Yucatan beaches immediately think of Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum. They’re gorgeous stretches of coast, to be sure. But there are quieter, less-touristed spots that provide much the same eye-popping views, but with fewer crowds and less expense,” says Suzan Haskins, a senior editor at International Living.
Haskins hails from the Midwest, where she spent nearly 25 years working in corporate advertising and marketing. Finally, in 2000, she said"not another winter in Omaha" and began looking for a place to live where the climate was better, life moved at a slower pace and she could do more of the things she had always wanted to do. After trying out Ecuador, Haskins and her husband moved to Mexico in late 2002.
Here, we caught up with Haskins to get her take on three cheap, out-of-the-way beach retreats in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula that provide the opportunity for a quieter, easier and much more affordable life.An aerial view of Holbox Island, where the streets are made of sand and the living is easy. “Holbox Island—where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico—is one of our favorite getaway spots,” says Haskins. Tiny Holbox is set at the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula.
The small beachside village of Mahahual is about four hours south of Cancun on Mexico’s gorgeous Caribbean Coast. Unlike the heavily touristed beaches of the Riviera Maya farther north, the Costa Maya is unpopulated and set against lowland jungle for some 62 miles. Set at the literal end of the road, Mahahual is one of only two places to access this spectacular environment.“If you love white sand beaches and warm, turquoise waters, that’s what you’ll find in Mahahual,” says Haskins.

Everyone, But Mostly Luann De Lesseps, Was 'Relieved' When Bethenny Frankel Quit RHONYThere’s a well-known scientific model called the food chain, which scientists use to understand the complex relationships between various life forms in a given ecosystem. It also provides a model for what might happen in an ecosystem if a piece of that chain is suddenly removed. For instance, hunters kill every last predator in a forest. The rest are driven out by a new housing development. Animal populations once regulated by those hunters explode, and food for them becomes scarce—so they invade the yards and houses of the nearby housing development. Science!
