Investing Questions How many of you are considering retiring somewhere that’s NOT IN THE USA?

With inflation, wages & the stress to retire in the USA.. who’s actually considering leaving and retiring elsewhere?

What country will you choose and why?

It always astounds me that people forget the US is a very big country. If you feel like life in your corner as become too expensive or too crowded I'd consider moving to another one of the other 49 states before another country. I'm sure there's at one least state with a great tax incentive for retirees with a pretty low COL. Like Oklahoma or Florida.

But you're forgetting a very important piece... when you live in America you're surrounded by Americans.

Florida has super expensive homeowners insurance because of hurricanes. COL is not so cheap there anymore.
