I’m so glad you fell into my suggested videos. I’m very interested in how you have been living your retirement. We are finally thinking of this seriously. Due to the outcome of our presidential election. We have an adult daughter with some special needs. So this is another concern of ours. She would absolutely live with us.
I have a couple of concerns. Healthcare and insurance is top on my list of how this could possibly be a setback. So if you were not back in United States, & god forbid you have an emergency and have to be taken to the hospital. In the country you are staying in, this would be completely out of pocket. Have you set aside money for these unexpected emergencies. Also when you are collecting social security & Medicare do you have another permanent address you use? Do they require a permanent address.
We don’t usually take out any additional insurance, we plan on paying out of pocket. You will need a permanent address, we use a post box system where we pay for a Suite Address as opposed to a PO Box, PO Boxes are not accepted. The suite address has been accepted by Medicare, SS and our banks, it’s about 300.00 a year but worth it.
Hi, love your channel, sorry I didn't watch whole video, because I have no time for the time being. I wonder how do you file taxes overseas? Others mentioned USA address, so you pay $300, including take care of your mails, such as take mails home, put mails in place...? I think big problem is tax, address to receive mails, payment to bills, like medicare...
We paid for a suite address, which is different from a PO Box and this far has been accepted by SS, Medicare, Taxes and our banks. Thanks for your support.
@goingwalkaboutnow So suite address is under charge of Post Office? Thanks for your time very much. Wish to know how you file tax if you live overseas? Thanks again !
Not sure that you have to be married for 10 years for spousal SS. Thought that was the cutoff if you get divorced....and can receive part of ex's SS...?
From SSA website: Generally, you must be married for one year before you can get spouse’s benefits. However, if you are the parent of your spouse’s child, the one-year rule does not apply. The same is true if you were entitled (or potentially entitled) to certain benefits under Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Act in the month before the month you got married. A divorced spouse must have been married 10 years to get spouse’s benefits.

Basically it’s the same thing, once you are married 10 years you get the benefits regardless of getting divorced. Thanks for your feedback.
