[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As soon as I retire I am leaving. Plan in hand already. The US just isn't fun or pleasant anymore.[/quote] I said the same thing. Then investigated more fully and changed my mind. If you have family & friends overseas it might make sense. But uprooting your entire social structure in older age and moving to a foreign country is a huge risk. If you don’t have family overseas you will never fit into the local culture, and will grow old as an outsider.[/quote] Wise words. But I am one a the lucky few who has already lived in the target country, I speak the language well enough to do graduate level course work and business there, a cohort of friends, both local and expat, and already know well the headaches of a new bureaucracy since I have been an expat on a number of occasions over the years. In that regard I am lucky. No it isn't easy or romantic and for many impractical and lonely. [/quote]
