This article looks at mainly the economic advantages of each location (Forbes, duh) with sprinklings of lifestyle positives. I've always wanted to retire to the Atlantic Beach/Beaufort/Harkers Island, NC area but the older I get the more I want to retire closer to family and friends...things that are most familiar.

Sorry... I would highly recommend Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador, Columbia or, if you have a pretty decent pension, Uruguay. The US dollar goes a very long way in most places in South America. 

About 1% of retirees are willing to make that jump.

The last thing u want to do when old is move to a country with inferior doctors and technology.

I work with retirees every single day, they are scared to death of their shadows.  I'm all about retiring somewhere like @Anybodyhome mentioned, but soooo very few are willing to take even the smallest amount of risk.

It takes planning, work and time- something a lot of retirees simply don't want to mess with. 

Started while we vacationed and met with an ex-pat real estate agent who showed us around. Settled into the idea of buying and now make more frequent trips to make the place our own. We've had a few things shipped, but it can be costly, so we pick up a few things here and there. But it's a very simple life, no need for a lot of "stuff." 

Now we're downsizing here, cleaning out the attic, holding a garage sale every few months and getting rid of more "stuff." The plan is for me to fully retire at 66 and make the last push to unload just about all of the "stuff" we no longer need. We'll sell one of our vehicles until the wife decides when she is ready to retire. Put the house on the market and move into an apartment for the short period until we tie up loose ends and get on a plane. I'm guessing by the time we make the final move, it will have taken about 5 years.

I want to retire near friends and family.  That means more to me than anything else.  

 

That being said, if money was not an issue, Hawaii would be the place. Not to hot, not to cold, good medical, and still in the US.   Honolulu is to crowded, but the other islands are great.  And if money was not an issue, it means I could fly back home first class to see the family or bring them to me.

This.  My ultimate goal but I'm poor

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
