Here's the next item I wanted to cover from Kiplinger's "The Best List". Today, we're highlighting the best foreign country for retirees:
The Best Foreign Country for Retirees: Mexico
A warm climate and a lower cost of living plus access to quality medical care make Mexico a favorite retirement destination. The Lake Chapala area, about 25 miles south of Guadalajara, is home to a large community of U.S. and Canadian retirees. You can't count on Medicare south of the border, but there's no shortage of well-trained doctors and modern health-care facilities. And you can still receive Social Security benefits when you live outside the U.S.
I've actually written on this topic quite a bit. For the masses out there who aren't saving enough for retirement but still want a great (or at least decent) standard-of-living when they retire, moving to a foreign country is a great option. For more details, see these posts:
