I will reach my full retirement age in 1 year. I want to move out of USA where cost-of-living is lower but I don't know where to start. I am a single female and certainly want to live somewhere safe and relatively close to US. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your answer. I am very much aware of living life as an expat. I have lived and worked in three countries and lived and worked in many states within the US. I have decided to retire abroad knowing pitfalls of living outside of the US. I am only trying to narrow down where I want to live abroad. Warm climate and I would like to keep total expenses below 2,500 US per month.If you live in Miami now, there are loads of places in the US where cost of living is lower. If you give us some idea of what your budget categories run to now (housing, food, healthcare, etc.), you might be able to get good suggestions.
Many people who think about becoming an expat aren't aware of all the ramifications, and it's often a better idea to just move within your own country.
I read a book a while back called "How to Retire Overseas (Peddicord)". I'd suggest trying to get that or a similar book from the library.Thanks for your answer.
