In the past six months, nine of my close friends living in major US cities have been victims of a tight credit squeeze and laid off their jobs at investment banks. And while many have a tough time seeing growth or change in the market in the near future, there does appear to be a light at the end of their tunnel-albeit one shining from a good ways south.

The moment after I saw the movie, I remember distinctly wanting to be a Ninja Turtle when I grew up. But my dreams seemed to have been ended when my mother rushed us out of the sequel, claiming it was too violent for our precious and innocent eyes.

If you're reading this and you're older than 40, you must leave now! I'll be using phrases like "sup B" and "OMG" and "mo-fo" that you're destined to not understand. "You see, when I was your age, the closest I ever got to Central America was a crummy Spanish textbook" I imagined my mother nagging in my ear as I reclined on a balcony in Casco Viejo overlooking a beautiful plaza and drinking a glass of Chilean wine.

Many places in Panama you'll see freebies being offered. Free nights at a hotel, free tours through the rainforest, and my favorite, the all too nebulous 'free lunch'. It is important to realize though, that freebies are oftentimes sales pitches disguised in table cloths and fine silverware.

It is my belief that no one really wants to retire in the true sense of the word. If you're from North America or Europe, you probably characterize retirement as a relaxing and enjoyable way of passing your years. Essentially the opposite of how you characterize the time before retirement, affectionately termed "the grind".
