If retiring to an over 55 community does not sound like an
appealing option, consider relocating overseas. US Media Studios highlights the
benefits to retiring overseas.
More Americans are moving to other countries when they
retire to live better and enjoy a longer, more fulfilling life. Mexico and
Costa Rica are the top two overseas countries people are choosing. Both offer a
very affordable cost of living, decent healthcare (near city centers), culture
and a plethora of activities. Budget-conscious retired folks might want to
think about moving to Nicaragua or Ecuador as both considered prime overseas
locations with a very low cost manner of living. Europe also is a good place to look, as is
Panama and Belize.
US health insurance and Medicare does not transfer overseas.
But many countries have their own health care plans and medical services are
less than what we pay in America.
Housing is one of the biggest budget concerns for retirees everywhere.
Some overseas locales offer low-cost rental homes. Living outside of city
center is generally less expensive than living in the city itself. But it also
means travel costs to the city for more sophisticated medical care, if needed.
US Media Studios suggests readers explore and research all living options in
other countries before making the move. One of the best resources for cost of
living comparisons is Numbeo Cost of Living. Another good site to use is Expatistan Cost of Living.
