Think You Can’t Afford to Retire Abroad? Think Again!
A guide to finding the right country for you to retire to based on your own personal affordability criteria
Published in: Retirement Abroad - Mon, August 01, 2011
The reality of austerity is beginning to bite us Britons; slowly but surely we’re all becoming more aware of the fact that we have less to spend today than we did just five years ago – and the reality is, it’s going to get an awful lot worse before it can get any better.
The British government has created a massive deficit – a debt black hole if you like – and the only way they can fill it is with tax. Tax on savings, income, capital gains, pensions and retirement income, tax on goods and services; in other words tax on every aspect of our lives. However, we have a choice, and the choice relates to whether or not we choose to remain living in Great Britain and bailing out the economy.
If you’d rather see your pension income go far further in retirement you can opt out and move abroad – but where in the world are the cheapest countries to live? As we have already examined a handful of affordable countries that may be suitable for you in recent articles, we have decided that today we should instead help you find your own cheap country overseas in case you don’t like our suggestions! We will show you how you can use a series of affordability criteria when you search and review each nation you’re considering – and in so doing you can assess the cheapest countries to retire in and find your own ideal country abroad.
