Is this the Right time to Retire in Haiti?

"Can anyone tells me if it is the right time to retire in Haiti, " Yves asks, "I'd like to return home!"

Like most Haitians living overseas who spent many too years working hard, Yves wants to return to Haiti, but his primary concerns seems to be: Insecurity in Haiti

Is Insecurity in Haiti keeping Haitian retirees oversees? Is it something else?

In a message posted on a blog for Haitian President Michel Martelly, Yves showed concern about his safety should he retire in Haiti.

"I understand that the national police is doing their best," Yves says, "because they are ill equipped and have limited personnel. UN is running Haiti for a long time, I just don't understand their mission..."

So... Is this the Right time to Retire in Haiti?

This is by no means professional advice but I do know a retiree, my father-in-law, who has been living in Fort-Liberte, Haiti, since 2005 or so. I've heard absolutely no complaints from him. He flies to Miami every 4 to 6 months for a medical check up, then he flies back to Fort-Liberte where his monthly retirement check is more than enough to take care of him.

Had he stayed in Florida to retire there, he would probably be pushing shopping carts at WinnDixie for extra income...

I don't know if you agree with me or not but, at the retirement age, that kind of stress can kill a man!
