 "But sure enough, there I was...living
the life of my dreams on some of the
world's most breathtaking shores...
and getting wealthier by the minute..."
Dear Reader,
You look out your window, past your gardener, who is busily pruning the lemon, cherry, and fig trees...amidst the splendor of gardenias, hibiscus, and hollyhocks.
The sky is clear blue. The sea is a deeper blue, sparkling with sunlight.
 A gentle breeze comes drifting in from the ocean, clean and refreshing, as your maid brings you breakfast in bed.
For a moment, you think you have died and gone to heaven. But this paradise is real. And affordable. In fact, it costs only half as much to live this dream lifestyle...as it would to stay in your own home…
You read about one side of the world in your daily paper, you see it on TV newscasts. Murders. Wars. Airplane crashes. Politics. 
But there is another side of the world...one you can't find out about by reading the paper, certainly not by watching TV.
It is a world of delightful opportunities...opportunities for fun...pleasure...financial security and profits...romantic discoveries...adventure...
…and a world much cheaper than you pay to live now.
You may question if $19 a day to afford your own dream cottage…a gardener, cook, or housekeeper…plus still have enough to pay your country club dues and use for entertainment. All for less per day then you would spend to fill up your car! For 30 years INTERNATIONAL LIVING has delivered retirees living dull… routine lives…to living out retirement with adventure balanced with luxury…leisure…and best of all…plenty of security.
“We retired 10 years ago…and we love it. It’s hard to understand why so many people on small pensions or Social Security struggle with miserable climates, high utility bills, and outrageous medical costs.”
– John and Jean B.
|
All for spending less per day than you would spend for two movie tickets…a tank of gas…or breakfast for two at Bob Evans!
You too can have that life…where you could:
…make big profits on international stocks and bonds...overseas investments in fast-growing countries offer high returns as well as the safety of diversification. I must emphasize that this world of international opportunities is available to anyone...not just the rich and famous...
…save anywhere from 50% to 85% on your healthcare…even surgical procedures can be so cheap that you won’t worry about filing a claim right away. Doctors overseas also tend to care about more than what insurance card you’re carrying…
 …learn the prime pieces of real estate in surrounding areas…and use it to your advantage. Some of the cheapest patches of property thrive in the middle of the most exciting cities abroad…some you can get for less than you would spend on a new car!
That's right, dear reader...you could retire in your own overseas paradise while at the same time save thousands and thousands of dollars, simply by using insider know-how that comes from years of experience - and countless miles roaming the globe.
That's one of the major reasons we publish INTERNATIONAL LIVING...to show you how to benefit
“All the stress and disillusionment with life that was dragging us down has VANISHED…and the value of our property has TRIPLED!”
– Betty and Tom C.

Paradise is right at your finger tips
|
|
|
In February of 1985, we published an article explaining how to fly around the world for less than $1,000. At the time, that wasn't even half the regular fare.
"As an International Living subscriber, I'd spent a couple of years dreaming of a new life somewhere in Latin America. Since my partner had been in the hospitality business, we decided that running our own B&B was our best option. We enjoy our new lives tremendously and have no regrets."
– Murray F., Mexico
|
In fact, it was so low that some subscribers didn't believe it was possible. One actually put us to the test. David Hendrickson and his wife followed our instructions and actually flew around the world—with stopovers in London, New York, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, for less than $1,000!
But that was back in 1985. What about today?
We told readers recently about an around-the-world airfare for $1,200. That's still less than half the regular fare.
Let me give you another example.
When we first started publishing INTERNATIONAL LIVING, we wrote that you could—buy an apartment on Spain's beautiful Costa del Sol for as little as $15,000. Here again, many people just didn't believe it could be done.
One of our readers decided to find out for  himself. In 1985 he purchased a one-bedroom apartment in the Malaga area—with a view of the Mediterranean from one side of the terrace and the mountains from the other.
The price: $13,100. Not bad...especially when you consider that for the past 25 years he has been renting that apartment during the summer months, most recently for more than $500 a month...which means the place pays for itself just by renting it out in June, July, and August—months when he didn't plan to use it anyway!
“We purchased property on Roatan and started a development called Sundancer Cabanas. Over the next four years, we built and sold some 20 houses…”
– Frank and Holly C.

INTERNATIONAL LIVING has been called the ultimate travel newsletter...It's that...and more. It's a newsletter for anyone who wants to broaden his or her horizons, visit foreign countries, make overseas investments, and save money.
Yes, save money. INTERNATIONAL LIVING will tell you:
...about retirement havens where you can stretch your money beyond all recognition. Live like a king on a tradesman's pension. If you look beyond your own shores, you'll find that many countries around the world offer far greater benefits and advantages for retirees than does your own.
...about which overseas stock markets have been the best-performing over the last few years. And because past performance are not always an indication of future performance, International Living makes sure its readers know which markets are the best investments right now.
...about one of the best—and still largely  undiscovered—retirement havens in the world, where the cost of living is low and the standard of living is high. In this undiscovered, peaceful, charming country, buy groceries for less than $300 a month.
…about complete national health care coverage, including everything from major surgery to house calls, costs $40 a year. And this is one of the few places in the world where property is still a good investment—and still cheap; you can buy a large house near the beach, with incredible views, for $100,000…
…about how to locate the best accommodation anywhere in the world. Stay in a comfortable hotel in the heart of Toyko for $80 a night. Or stay in a quaint hotel with great views of mexico for just $35 a night.
For the past 20 years, we've been scouring the world for bargains of all kinds...details on how to save money on everything from airfares to hotels...from shopping to health care costs...
But INTERNATIONAL LIVING is not just about saving money...it's also about embracing your dreams.
For example, we are constantly researching  the most profitable and attractive real estate markets all over the world. Whether you're looking for a long-term holiday rental...an appealing home exchange (one of the best ways we know to arrange no-cost accommodation anywhere in the world)...a retirement home...a winter getaway...or an investment property...we can help you locate just the right property in just the right location...every month, INTERNATIONAL LIVING tells you about real estate bargains and opportunities in other countries, and then tells you how to take advantage of them.
“I live in the English countryside today and make money in a charming little shop I’ve opened. I owe it all to you”

Another reader offered an entire island in the sunny Caribbean—for less than the cost of a stay at a modest hotel.

Romantic places to live. Luxurious places to travel. Inexpensive places to retire. Rewarding investments. Safe havens for rest, tranquility...places to let your imagination and your creativity soar.

It is hilarious that people seem to think Obama is the next Messiah or something
. He became a senator because of a scandal, does not have the experience. I too love Newsmax;)
It is a great source of information, I use it a lot ,, ODUMBA does not have the experience to be a senator much less the leader of the FREE world and the commander -in-chief , someone needs to dig deep into his past and who is funding this campaign, and they would find Muslim terrorist and black panthers pouring money into his war chest.
I know what I'm going to do if he's elected....now lets see....across the wrist is a "cry for help"....long ways is the real thing...got it.
Happy 4th Joe, your a real Patriot!
Thank You ,, hope you had a great 4th , the wife and I put a couple of rib eyes on the grill and enjoyed today as Americans !!!
I agree, Joez! Why can't people remember what his church preached? I am sorry but I can't look past that. He left AFTER the media exposed that Rev. Wright (Reverend right lol)
People had better wake up and look at what he is doing , trying to ACT "WHITE" and "CHRISTIAN" when anyone with an ounce of brains knows he is a BLACK MUSLIM !!
