Retirement abroad
As I have been contemplating retirement I have been researching costs of living abroad in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, The Philippines and Malaysia.
There are many things to consider and I am going to take the time to do my research and document what I find here on the Blog. As an Australian retiree I feel the opportunity to live abroad could be a very cost effective plan considering the cost of living in Australia.
The following points are on the list for me to review and document.
- Living abroad and the aged pension
- Retirement VISAs
- Cost of living in these destinations – broken down into categories
- Rent or purchase propertyÂ
- Can you Buy Land
- Tax implications
- Medical Insurance
- Ex Pat communities
- Weather – typhoon seasons, burning seasons
- Food
- Transportation
- Locations
