What I WON'T do here.....try to sell you something!

That’s not the reason I write this blog. So, you won’t see posts that are 10 pages long, full of teases but little information, and with a link at the bottom that promises to let you in on all my secrets for the bargain price of $19.99 plus shipping and handling. You won’t see flashy ads that pop up in your way, and prevent you from reading my posts unless you do something to get rid of them. Granted, I have a few unobtrusive ads that help support my site, and you are welcome to click on one of these sponsors if their tag line catches your eye. I also have a small National Geographic picture ad in the right of the page, that does offer some interesting links, if you are so inclined. But that’s not the purpose of this blog.

My purpose is two-fold….to do the in-depth research that will help me decide where to retire offshore, how to do it with the least amount of hassle, and how to support myself when I do it….and to pass my research on to you. I won’t be the only resource you will use, and I shouldn’t be. You should avail yourself to as much information as you can. But where my site will differ from the many larger “International Living”-type sites is I won’t give you one tidbit of information surrounded by dozens of attempts to sell you the latest get-rich-quick scheme, or claim I can outwit the worst bear market, or try to sell you my “book of secrets”. Not here, I won’t. I’ll just be presenting you with my research as I do it, my opinions, and hoping to hear your comments and ideas as well. Maybe something I say doesn’t seem right to you, and I am more than willing to accept that I won’t find everything in my research.

By the way, I DO have another site where my focus will be revenue-generation…..it isn’t fully ready to go yet, but you can find it at http://www.canuckretire.com/blog/  . The link is also in my “Other Sites of Interest” section. Go there if you want to see my analysis and opinions of some flashy travel, retirement, and income ads. Stay here if you want my opinions, my research, my advice, and my ear. They’re all free.
