30% off bus, boat, and train fares
25% off airline tickets
25% off monthly energy bills
30% to 50% off hotel stays
15% off hospital bills*
Similar retirement programs are offered by other countries. They want you to move there with your guaranteed income.

Now that's impressive, thank you :-)
http://internationalliving.com/ Contains a wealth if information and provides some very interesting reading.
The obvious question is, which other countries offer similar incentives?

Panama offers the best pension benefits but you can also look at Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Ecuador for starters. Then Uruguay, if you want something further south. Spend some time working your way through the International Living website. As you've already observed - there's a wealth of info there for the reading.

Depends entirely on what you want (i.e. if you want to work).
Cambodia for me is ideal - manageable in terms of size, costs are low (new films at the cinema for $3, meals from $1 onwards,  is $1.50 for a jug, rent is $300 a month for a new two bed apartment) and the visa is the best. Get a work visa at the airport for $25 and you can extend it indefinitely in the country.
Then, there are other places if South America is more appealing.. Medellin (where I live now) is nice; my friend runs Medellin Living - Colombia Lifestyle, Nightlife and Travel Blog which might be of use to you.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
