Did you know that your pension and\/or retirement savings can go a longer way abroad than it does in your home country? There might also be other benefits like warm weather, delicious food, and a thriving retirement community to be a part of. It\u2019s no wonder that many retirees are in awe of the expat lifestyle in their golden ages and move abroad to the likes of Mexico, Portugal, Thailand, and more. While there\u2019s no objective \u2018best place to live after retirement\u2019, this <\/span>Pacific Prime Latin America<\/span><\/a> article explores some of the top expat retirement spots in 2022 from a North American perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning for retirement abroad\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sipping coconuts on the beach sounds like a great retirement plan, but is it one that\u2019s practical for you? Before you pack your bags and head to your dream destination, it\u2019s important to set retirement goals (i.e. what kind of lifestyle are you after?), have a financial plan (i.e. how are you going to fund this?), and research into factors like healthcare, safety, and more (i.e. are there any challenges to consider?). The sooner you start <\/span>planning for retirement abroad<\/span><\/a>, the easier it\u2019ll be to turn your dream into reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a country<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t know where to live after retirement and are open to exploring possibilities, you can consider the ones on the \u2018<\/span>Live and Invest Overseas\u2019 index<\/span><\/a>. As a resource for people who want to live, retire, and invest overseas, the index comes up with the top 15 expat retirement spots (plus the monthly budget needed to live there) using indicators like living, costs, health care, entertainment, recreation, English proficiency, expat community, infrastructure, access to North America, environmental factors, crime, real estate restrictions, residency, and taxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top 15 expat retirement spots<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unsurprisingly, about a third of the countries on the index are in the Latin American region – a region that is a <\/span>consistently popular retirement destination for expats<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Comporta, Portugal – Monthly budget is USD $2,935<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Monthly budget is USD $1,820<\/strong><\/li>\n
