Would you ever retire in a country where the cost of living is less (maybe Southeast Asia). Your dollar could go further, but the life there is very different.

Yes. I have a few friends considering Thailand for retirement. Even Taiwan

like

Taiwan would be quite nice from visiting once. Although I’m not sure politically what is going to happen

My plan was always to retire in Europe, but the past year has really made me question why I feel the need to wait till retirement in the first place. Yes, the salary will be less if I move my career across the pond, but my quality of life would improve immensely. I have no ties keeping me here and I would rather be happy in the present than be hoping I make it to retirement age. I am very seriously considering making the move next year.

I'm currently looking into the freelancing visa in France. If that doesn't work out then I'll be aiming for sponsorship.

No, I've heard of people talking about Costa Rica for retirement and I just don't see the point of something like that. If I was going to retire to another country I'd want to go to the UK or Ireland, or perhaps elsewhere in Europe, and enjoy some of the culture. There wouldn't be any financial advantage (perhaps even the opposite) but I like museums and learning things in general, so I'd be very happy with that.

MC1, youre not a fan?

Croatia. Slovenia, Portugal, Greece, Spain would also be viable options.

Oh thank you for highlighting these! Are you considering this?

For sure. I'd lean more toward Europe than SE Asia personally. Money won't go as far, but I've traveled to both and know I'd have an easier time fitting in and feeling at home in a European country.

I can definitely understand that, I guess it would be more lifestyle driven than vs. Cost driven

No country is perfect and I love America, even with its faults.

Very tempting

The most important thing in life is family or close friends. If you have this blessing, retire near those people.
