Have you heard about the Happy Planet Index? It's an informative, country-by-country ratings system that was devised by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in 2006. The Happy Planet Index ranks countries not by what they make and sell, but by more humanistic, utilitarian and environmental factors. Perhaps one of the reasons that Costa Rica retirement is so appealing is because Costa Rica ranked number one on the 2009 Happy Planet Index. In case you're wondering, the USA came in around 150th out of all the rated countries of the world. This index considers factors such as life expectancy at birth, subjective satisfaction in life and the environmental footprint per capita. Come enjoy your Costa Rica retirement in one of the happiest countries on Earth.
