4EverRangerFrank Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Liked the US thread but how about for those of us looking to move outside the USA? Retirement beckons for all at some point in their lifetime. Where would you consider moving to? (Healthcare, safety, cost-of-living, weather, etc.) Me? I?d love to be near a beach or at least close to where fishermen port. I want to learn how to process whole fish and make stock. Not looking for a protracted rainy season either.

Albatrosss Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Russians usually stay close to their kids and kids usually don’t move far from parents. So retirement will be somewhere close to where the kids will be. But my dream is to have an apartment in Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The one positive thing I've got from all of this is that my wife is finally warming to moving out of town and out to the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EverRangerFrank Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 All this has me thinking is "LOL...retirement." Yeah, I don't really think I'll retire per se, just move somewhere else out outside of the USA. Not necessarily thinking about full-on Ex-pat but at least 10-11 months each year.

josh Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 All this has me thinking is "LOL...retirement." Both of my parents just retired. Both of my parents are about to go back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 All this has me thinking is "LOL...retirement." My job sucks and the life expectancy is 63, but if I do the absolute minimum time and defer my pension for 2.5 years, I can walk away in 15 years. I’ll be 47. I’ll 90% have to get a second job, but I can do something I enjoy instead of doing something I hate to support the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I'd love to move out of the country for extended periods of time, but I don't know if I'll ever move permanently just because of familial matters. That said, I was close to taking a job in Berlin last year and I'd love to go, maybe for a year or two. The other place that has drawn my eye is Amsterdam, the happiest city on earth.

Love the place, but I wouldn’t dream of spending my retirement years there. You’d be better off in a nice little village in Brittany or in the south, depending on your preference in weather.

Albatrosss Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Somewhere with good health care. Not some hospital that will diagnose you with food poisoning when you are having a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
