Jennifer and Joshua considered themselves the least likely couple in their circle to take risks. They avoided Las Vegas, penny stocks, IPOs, bitcoin, and junk bonds. Their conservatism extended so far that even when friends moved to Belize and urged them to visit and explore the real estate, they dreamed big but stayed put. Then, Covid hit.
Realizing life is too short to delay decisions—like considering a move abroad—they researched and found numerous benefits that were anything but risky. Proximity to the U.S., English as the primary language, and economic advantages associated with relocating countered all their reservations. Guess which risk-averse North Americans have now settled in Belize?
