There are tons of ways to build up your retirement savings, but for some there may just not be enough time left (or saleable assets available) to accrue the required liquidity. Additionally, who wants to scrape by when they can finally enjoy their lives sans jobs? It might just be time to head to Mexico, where you can find a number of beautiful and budget-friendly destinations to hang your fedora — and pick up your margarita.
