Here is a good article by Suzanne Mcgee that appeared in The Guardian about thoughts on moving abroad.<\/p>\n

“A few weeks ago, in the midst of a miserable, relentless east coast winter, my editor, at the end of her rope, gave in and bought a ticket to somewhere warm. A day later, she was on the beach, sharing photos of sun-dappled kayaks and breezy rainforests.”<\/p>\n

If only retirement could be so easy. Imagine finding a town in Panama or Ecuador with reasonable hospital facilities and reliable internet access \u2013 not to mention those warm beaches \u2013 where your dollar will stretch a hell of a lot further than it will go at home.<\/p>\n

For those of us in large swaths of the lower 48, this winter\u2019s weather has reminded us of another allure of retiring abroad. Staring out the windows at snowbanks still hanging grimly on to life in the final days of March are a wordless testimonial in support of the idea of spending one\u2019s golden years running a beach bar in, say, Belize. Or a pottery workshop in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.<\/p>\n

This is just the kind of economy that fosters dreams like this. Nationwide, many of us are staring at our 401k plan statements and realizing just how many more decades we might have to work to afford a comfortable retirement if we want to continue living as we are, where we are. In some cases, the math doesn\u2019t even make sense: retiring at 125? Nah.<\/p>\n

Feeding the dream is a new book by Suzan Haskins and Dan Prescher, former marketing executives who\u2019ve been writing about living overseas for more than a dozen years and who now are based in Quito, Ecuador.<\/p>\n

The main title may induce yawns \u2013 The International Living Guide to Retiring Overseas on a Budget \u2013 but it\u2019s the subtitle that\u2019s going to cause a lot of people to sit up and take notice: How to Live Well on $25,000 a Year.<\/p>\n

The mere idea of living well on $25,000 a year is something that hasn\u2019t really been possible for most of us in the urban middle class since \u2013 well, since we graduated from college and started trying to juggle stuff like paying off student loans, buying a home, raising kids and so on. The idea of doing it overseas has a certain kind of appeal, too, and a growing number of Americans are bypassing traditional retirement havens like Florida and Arizona for cheaper alternatives like Mexico, Costa Rica or Belize.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re feeling stressed out by the seemingly inevitable tradeoffs that lie ahead if you retire at home, and size of the gap between your retirement nest egg and your needs, retiring abroad and<\/em> saving big bucks can seem like a dream come true.<\/p>\n

To avoid it turning into a nightmare, ask yourself whether you really understand what it means to live abroad; to treat another country as your home and not just a place to hang out for a few weeks on vacation or a few months in winter.<\/p>\n

Having lived in six countries on three continents thus far, I can assure you that exotic and enticing doesn\u2019t remain an asset for long, especially when you\u2019re trying to figure out how to use that oddly-constructed oven or figure out where to buy meat that isn\u2019t chicken or goat. Are you used to seeing your friends and family two or three times a week? How good are you at forming new relationships? Remember, the further you venture, the harder and more costly it will be to jaunt back and forth (and for friends to visit.)<\/p>\n

Living abroad will likely require getting used to a different language being the \u201cnorm\u201d; to different social and cultural rules and assumptions about correct behavior. (For instance, asking your neighbors to turn down the music at 3am may simply earn you a look of amused pity.)<\/p>\n

Local holidays will be different \u2013 forget the Fourth of July or Thanksgiving; in Ecuador, you\u2019ll be celebrating the birthday of Simon Bolivar (24 July), in Panama, May Day.<\/p>\n

Latin America is largely Catholic; if you go further afield, religious differences may become more significant: Malaysia (now #3 on International Living\u2019s list of top places to retire) is a Muslim nation, while Chiang Mai, Thailand (#5 on a similar list from US News) is in a Buddhist nation.<\/p>\n

Things that you now consider staples \u2013 favorite foodstuffs, English-language magazines or DVDs \u2013 might not be available or be very expensive. (Expats in Paris have trouble finding peanut butter, and Metamucil is not as widely distributed in the world as you might think).<\/p>\n

It has been decades since my mother baked a pie in Japan using a root that she was convinced was rhubarb. it wasn’t. The stench of whatever it was (we still don’t know) finally left the apartment a week later, but lingers on in my memory to this day. Halloween? No pumpkins around. We drew smiley faces on small orange persimmons.<\/p>\n

The less flexible you are, the more isolated you\u2019ll feel and the more likely you are to wonder whether the whole foreign-retirement thing was such a great tradeoff after all.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the more you are able to live like a local \u2013 and to be happy while doing so \u2013 or to find a new home overseas within a large community of expats such as that in cities like San Miguel de Allende, the more likely you are to make it work.<\/p>\n

If these aren\u2019t concerns, and you\u2019re ready to forge ahead with your new life abroad, there is one area on which you can\u2019t afford to skimp: getting professional advice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far too easy to run afoul of tax or estate planning rules when you retire abroad. For instance, some kinds of annuity income are tax-advantaged for US residents, and if you buy a property in, say, Mexico, you might be unwittingly forfeiting that advantage.<\/p>\n

If you decide to work overseas, be aware that the IRS requires you to pay taxes on your worldwide income, even if you\u2019re no longer a resident. As a general rule, it\u2019s not a good idea to buy a property or write a will overseas without consulting an accountant or attorney in the United States who is familiar with the kind of cross-border issues you might encounter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth pondering what you\u2019ll do when you reach your late 80s or your 90s, and hit the point where you need 24-hour nursing care. Is that available in the destination you\u2019ve chosen, and how will you finance it? (Medicare doesn\u2019t travel.)<\/p>\n

If, after pondering all these questions, you\u2019re wondering what all the fuss is about, then off you go. Two tickets to paradise, please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
