It's funny, the cities of Vancouver and North Vancouver have talked to me several times about what they need to do to keep my business here because they are losing young people and young entrepreneurs at an alarming rate. People want to retire here and young people can't afford it. Doesn't spell a good situation for them.

I've heard Mexico sunny and affordable...

My wife & I have the same idea & plan on going alot further east, to start that is....The diving is great though & cost of living affordable.... especially after Calgary, just to get out of the rat race. I'm @ 35 & she's 27 & we both feel burnt out & taken for a ride daily. Only 3-5 years to go here we hope.
