Hi all,
I’m a UK citizen but worked mostly in the USA as a greencard holder (since expired). I worked from 1985-2007 in the USA and paid all my taxes and social security contributions. After a messy divorce, I moved to Asia and have mainly lived in China, Mongolia and Vietnam.
I’m 57 now and would like to retire at 62. I believe I’m entitled to SS but I can’t figure out how much. For an exact amount, I’d need numbers which I don’t have access to. I also have an inheritance coming of about >=£200k ($250k) once probate is sorted and my parents property sold. My fiancée and I live on about $1000 per month. Yeah, the cost of living is low in Vietnam. We’re very frugal.
I’m hoping I can get tips here on how to budget for my retirement and see if 62 is feasible. Or even sooner.
My only vices (hobbies?) are motorcycle riding, cycling and mountain climbing. I hope to take up powered paragliding.
