I once looked into buying land in Costa Rica through my IRA, but the fees were in the 3% of assets range/yr just to hold the title and do the necessary governmental reporting. A fee of 1%/yr of assets used to be quite common, but the fees are generally lower these days.

I agree about the IRA's in general. I'd rather see SS left alone, with an increase allowed for IRA contributions/yr that are deductible. Anyone that contributes > xx/yr to IRA's then gets reduced SS benefits at retirement. The formula could account for contributions on a yearly basis, it does not have to be and "in" or "out" thing, but cumulative for ones career.
