Las Vegas would totally be a fun option. The farther you are away from the strip the cheaper everything gets.Once I get my son established down here in South Florida the next few years. I could see myself exploring my options. Maybe one year in Las Vegas would be fun
Thats a pretty good plan quantum.I've thought about living in Mexico, SE Asia and even Portugal. I'm too much of a homebody to leave the US for any length of time.
I may look at selling my house and taking the equity to buy 2 manufactured homes. One in the Phoenix area and one in the mountains a couple hours away. I could move back and forth depending upon the weather.
Then I would stay a couple months in SE Asia at the beginning of every year until I got tired of the humidity.
People say manufactured homes don't appreciate, and for the most part that's true. However, those homes do appreciate in the mountains and they don't lose their value much here in the city. Besides, I would be looking for all that equity anyway. I'm only going to live 20 or 30 more years so I think I would be happy living like that.Thats a pretty good plan quantum.

Where did that absurd list come from?Depends on what you consider poor. The dollar goes one hell of a lot farther in these countries than in the US. You can live very very comfortably in most of these countries for < 50% of what it costs in the US. JJ, you could live like a king in most of these places.
The biggest factor to consider when you live abroard, especially if you're retired, is healthcare.
8 out of 10 of these countries have better healthcare systems than in the US. I kept the first 5 on the list so you could see who was at the top.

The problem is there are 1000s of websites and the lists are all over the place as far as rankings but Singapore is an absurd #1. God Bless you TanksterLink is attached to the post.
The list I posted was for the countries with the best healthcare not places to retire.Viet Nam rated globally ideal for retirement
VGP - Viet Nam was listed as one of the eight countries ideal for retirees by Travel + Leisure thanks to lower cost of living and a comfortable lifestyle.en.baochinhphu.vn
Singapore is not a good place to retire
Singapore has great health care but I prefer Bangkok, they have one of the best hospitals in the world, people go for medical tourism.The list I posted was for the countries with the best healthcare not places to retire.
