[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the “retire early” concept is the wrong goal. The goal is to be able to have whatever job or project you want to pursue. Start a business. Make art. Open a restaurant. Teach. Whatever. Just living cheaply in a different country isn’t a good goal. [/quote]

I mostly agree with you, but you're being harsh about OP's plan to live abroad. My DH and I have plans for "retirement jobs" where we just get to do stuff we enjoy, but we also have a plan once DC finishes college to spend 3 months every few years (basically the max length of a tourist visa) living in a foreign city. You can get pretty inexpensive apartments in a lot of places if you rent on a monthly basis instead of weekly or daily, and even better if you are willing to stay outside the the really major cities. For us this is a big deal because we really limited travel for years in order to have kids and build up our nest egg and we want a chance to do more of it in retirement. So I get where OP is coming from.[/quote]
