Prospective retirees: Panama wants you. The pitch? A plane ride just 21/2 hours from Miami enables the newly poor to swap a wretched retirement in the U.S. for one befitting a royal in the balmy Central American nation. Cash out! Emigrate! Feel rich! Panama—the new Florida.

I just saw this article on the BusinessWeek website and thought that you might find it interesting as a LoveAna.com reader. It highlights some of the things that are good about Panama (e.g. cost of living, medical care, retiree benefits, etc.)
