Agreed.
There is only two that I would consider on that list: New Zealand and Ireland. The Central and South American countries are too risky in my opinion, as are the European countries.
It seems appealing, but if you’ve got kids and grandkids, just try to convince the wife it’ll be OK to see them every - oh, say, 18 months or so!
GMTA — your post reads like it was taken right off of my keyboard!
All turd world countries.
I’m retiring in th Philippines and Freepers live there too. My bro got married there years ago and 2 things jumped out at me: you can own guns and English is the 2nd language, with more than 10 dailies in English. You can’t get that in those illegal-alien infested countries in the list.
Mexico? Panama? Columbia? Brazil? Are they freaking kidding?
How about Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Somolia?
You couldn’t spend that much money in Appalachia LOL!
Italy looks good. Climate 100! Plus, they offer highly attractive sea cruises.
AMEN! We aren’t retired and we only see them a couple times a year now (1200 miles one way)! If I tried to talk her into moving to Ireland or Belize? FORGET-ABOUT-IT!
Add the Phillipines to that list.
I forget who - but I was Freeping with a Freeper a month or so ago - who lives in the Phillipines. English is spoken by most and you can rent a nice place with a maid and a driver and enjoy good food and drink for less than $2,000 US monthly.
I agree - statists and socialists everywhere are a menace. Places like Costa Rica and Panama though actually have lower top tax rates than the USA - and a thriving, inexpensive and free-market health-care industry (which will be important once Obamacare kicks in). Singapore doesn't have exactly an open political system, but it also has low taxes, is very pro-business, very safe, and absolutely protects property and the rule of law.
Given the ascendency of the idiot-left in the USA, my point is - don't assume the USA will always be better than other places in the future either.
I am an American. I was born here. My family has been in this country since the 1600’s.This is my native land, my home ,my country.
I have no intention to leave this country.
I live in Southern Maryland, my ancesters are buried her and I will be to.My history, my family, my home.
I don’t need maids, I have the most beautiful view of the Potomac River anyone could want, if I or my wife get sick I have friends that will come to see me.
There ar a lot of things that have happened over the years in America that I don’t like, but none that will make me move.My roots are deep.
A person I know who can live anywhere in the world told me his wife just can't go more than a few weeks or so without seeing the grand chidren.
He has solved some of the problems by flying them to visit grandma and grandpa. That only solves some of the problem, so they are regular visitors back "home " to see their childen and grand kids.- tom
LOL! I notice they did not call then the 19 SAFEST places....
bfl
whoever thought that Costa Rica climate was a 60 is crazy...much closer to 90 in my opinion. Why the huge disparity between #1 Ecuador and #19 Costa Rica when they are a couple of hundred miles apart? And then gave Mexico an 89?
I think they need to figure out what they are measuring when it comes to climate. Makes me wonder the accuracy of the rest of the survey.
AlexW I think???
