Poland used to be very good, then they tossed out the commies and all the prices went up.
Wife and I researched this a few years ago when we were in search of a “Green-Label-Retirement”. Lots of S.American/Mexico areas are real nice but too unstable politically and corrupt governmentally. Medical care is hit and miss.
I suppose as long as you have a bug-out plan, you would be fine.
How about some nice places here in the US where you can manage to live on your social security check?
prison
... Detriot?
My wife and I have lived in Thailand since my retirement in 1994. Even with the latest problems, Thailand is hard to beat.
We have been in China for the last three years but one has to be pretty hardcore to really appreciate it. Thailand is the easiest country I have ever lived in. We will be moving back in two weeks. Social Security goes a long ways in both places.
Great homes, starting at $7,500.00 and up.....really...
She said NICE places.
Detroit. It’s paid from 0bama’s “stash.”
You'll have to make a pretty exotic commute.
I don’t see the Philippines on that list. Life is pretty inexpensive there too.
Club Fed!
I figured my “retirement” will be as a missionary somewhere...my SS should be plenty to get by.
“I dont see the Philippines on that list. Life is pretty inexpensive there too.”
I can live here on $500 per month..That is for me and a girlfriend, and living on a beach.
San Miguel in Mexico has about 20,000 Americans living there.
Cool place.
I had heard that there were a lot of retired ex military types living there.
I met with an assited living facility in Costa Rica (part of a business trip) and they charge $1,100 per month. Very nice place on top of a mountain.
What kind of place can you get on the beach for less than $500/month?
“Poland used to be very good, then they tossed out the commies and all the prices went up.”
I lived in Slovakia for five plus years, until I moved to Philippines last year.
I had to work to live there.
I no longer work at anything but swimming and riding my bike.
