Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Philippines should be number one on the list my friend and her husband moved there five years ago only receiving $900 dollars a month they're about to have a house built 2 bedroom and two bath. Pretty much everybody speak English nice beaches people are welcoming and friendly. My advice is to do more research
The thought of retirement makes me cry. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you weren't to blame for.it's especially difficult for people who are retired.

@@hasede-lg9hj Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
I am surprised that the Philippines wasn't mentioned, I have retired here, with just my state pension and a small works pension about £1200 per month, which are paid into my Philippine bank. I live on the island of Mindanao in the mountains and have no worries or regrets.living the simple life.
I also retired to the Philippines, in 1983, after completing 20 years of military service. It was/ is the smartest move I’ve made in my life! At the age of 79 now, I collect SS. Also my military pension and 100% military disability pay. My life is very pleasing. I have a loving caring Filipina wife. We adopted a 6-week-old Filipino baby boy, who is now 34 years old. I am loved and cared for. If my health continues to hold up, I am sure to pass 100 years in my life, unless my military disabilities take a turn for the worst. But for now, my health is under control. 😎
My wife Costa Rican,(local) and I live on $5,000 per mo. and it’s almost paycheck to paycheck. It is the 2nd most expensive country in all of Latin America. Costa Rica has a cost of living 47% higher than Mexico. I pay $500 per month for insurance and food, electricity, gas, cars , clothing,and supermarkets are all more expensive than in the U.S. Crime has gone way up do to it becoming a Narco nation where the drug trade is now the largest employer. In 2023 the murder rate went to 17.4 per 100,000 and 2024 is worse. It’s nice to visit and relax in the tourist areas and a handful of wealthy expat area on the beaches are great to live but if retirement,and a lower cost of living is your goal look keep looking.
I actually al.ost moved there 15 years ago!! Due to a few situations, I,put it on hold.When the time came to review all,my original idea s it went crazy expensive! Lol if you would like a roommate 😄 stay well and safe
SE Asia is where it’s at! Vietnam is incredibly cheap. I can stay there 3 months. Then go over to Thailand for a few months, then Laos. I’m basically amount the 1% in these countries
Did you guys notice these 7 countries have a coast for beaches ⛱️, I wonder why inland countries not on the list, but I will pick Belize or Portugal only.
Im retired in the Philippines where it's pretty affordable here and staying is really easy. 2 to 6 month tourist visas for up to 3 years or SRRV according to age with a deposit or special military visa with a small deposit. I have a 13A marriage visa to a Filipino citizen which cost me 6 dollars a year for a permanent resident. You can find rents from 150 to 650 dollars for nice studios to one bedrooms condos. My cost are 50% lower here than in the states comparing apples to apples. The medical and dental are very cheap too. Travel is still very affordable from Island to Island with over 7000 to chose from. English is very well spoken and used here on their traffic signs, courts, hospitals, malls and restaurant menus. We have 4 people in our household and my budget runs about $1800 a month with A/C, a house helper, SUV and a little travel.
Philippines is one of the cheapest country if you want to retire it will cost you around US1,200 to US 1,500.00 if even US1,000.00 if you are budget concious. Mr Faronray is right with a budget of US150 to US500 you could rent a condominium or a small house. With a budget of US1,200.00 you could have a small house, helper, food and medical for a month. Even medical expenses is quite cheap converting US1.00 to php55.00 you could survive. Nice places to retire are in Tagaytay city with cool climate , if you want beaches you could go to Batangas which is quite near Tagaytay, you could choose Baguio if you want cooler climate and mountainous area, Cebu, Bohol with its famous beaches, Siargao if you want surfing. There are lots of places to choose from. Most Filipinos speak English so you wont get lost. You could seek advice advice from other Americans who retired here.Some prefer cooler climates like the ones I’ve mentionedand others prefer the beach whichever they want.
@@donhayward7231I retired in 2020 in Cebu City, Cebu. That's where my Filipina wife is from. She is close to her family, contacts, business and friends. I'm close to the international airport, hospitals, travel and entertainment. So retiring in Cebu City was the best thing for us. I'm now 67 and have everything setup.

It's a tough decision to leave your family and friends, and country; because it is now too expensive to live in the U.S. for most of us. My favs would be Ecuador, Portugal, Spain, Costa Rica, Georgia, Hungary, Poland (and Switzerland if you can afford it).
@@justicebao7955 You will be ok! I’m 73 living in South East Asia to get by! Vietnam and The Philippines are Cheap to live! Just keep your sense of humor!
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family....
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...
@@BennettElizabth Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. *MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY* , a licensed fiduciary whom has made me over 5 figures in profit in less than seven months, handles my investments. I could leave you a lead if you need help....
I’m curious how it works with the visas. Apparently, you need to leave and come back to fulfill the requirements of some countries. Can you confirm this? And how does that work?
Asia is a continent where weather temperature are going through the roof..everywhere. Extreme temperature are now common in India, Pakistan (50 celsius), Thailande, Vietnam, South China and so on Philippines also...better looking at place such as Bulgaria, Montenegro, Moldova, Ukraine before was nice also.
Philippines definitely. Vietnam but avoid 2 big ciities as costs double or quadruple. It is a quiet life. I live in Nha Trang and Visa is tricky. I have 5 yr visa but need partner and language is tough. ( maybe toughest in world). But my cost is rock bottom which I unfortunately need.
I am 56 and getting ready to retire. Was in Costa Rica some 14 years ago and truly enjoyed my stay over there with the good people of the lovely country. Desire to relocate to this country. Hope you can give me the Link towards achieving this dream. Will I have a job in the aviation department? I'm an A&P Mechanic with multiple aircraft maintenance ratings and 31 years combined maintenance and quality control experience. Kindly furnish me with all necessary details. Much appreciation.
It's not the same costo, Rica, you visited 14 yrs back.. very, very expensive, lots of crime .. before making such a move visit and spend some time.. tourist spots are save and clean..
Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably in America. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, do I pull cash from my 401k and buy a house, or spread my money in stocks for cashflow? I'd love to afford my lifestyle after retirement?
Lately, I've been contemplating retirement, uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a secure future. I've also invested $800K in the stock market, experiencing fluctuations without substantial gains.
Using a 401(k) or IRA is a valuable strategy for retirement planning, providing potential savings growth and tax advantages. While the stock market is promising, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management
As a high income earner can you easily afford to contribute max of $22,500 to your traditional 401(k) and towards retirement? What is your Federal Tax Bracket and percentage of company match? I f you don't know all this then its best you consult with an advisor.
Myself and a few other employees work with Sharon Ann Meny . She helps me max out on the Roth 401k in the month of November each year. My company matches 6% and I think my tax bracket is 22%.
Old Mexico. From my SS of 500 I can save 100. Perfect climate. Great produce. Cheap rent. Quality med and dental...cheap. Friendly. Spanish is easy. Read, cook, compose music, train tai chi, play tennis. Perfect. Permanent residency is easy. Did Caribbean, Pacific coast...pricey. Souht Central highlands is chill.
In surprised Turkiye is not on the list. I lived there for 1 1/2 years there and just came back to the US. I miss it and even though things are increasing there I made it on $1,500 per month easy and comfortably. Living keeping the same quality or better than the US
well i for one say this vieo is nothing more then all B.S.. to say that $2,800 usd to $ 4,200 usd is a samll pension or social security that like $30k to $50k usd is being poor wich is not even close to being poor at all this is how i know this video is nothing but B.S.. if he truly wanted to do a video about samll pension or social security then it should be fore the majority of people on pension or social security is more like from $1,000 to 1,500 usd per month would be more accurate then what he is saying in this video i wish i wass getting $2,800 a month you do not even know how much money your would need to be making in yoru whole working career. that would be way over $40k a year you would need to make just to get the $2,800 per month not to say anything about how much you would need to make just to get $4,200 usd per month is way over the $50,400 usd peryear. this too is how i know the video. are there people getting $2800 to $4200 usd per month yes but they are not poor at all and they had made like 3 times or more per month then like the person working at yoru favorites restaurants of even your fast food place even lot of yoru people in distribution centers do not make that much to get what he his talking about. so the majority of people like hes truly should be talking about get less then $2k per month or even less like from $1k to $1,800 a month.
These figures are if you want to live like you would if still in the states, big car, big house, and eating out every day (not local quisene) you can easily live much cheaper and happily on half as much.
Exactly. $1000 per month and it gets health insurance taken out before you get your net amount. If you have the income he's spoofing about? You wouldn't have to leave. But! You need a partner because you wont make it on your own. Worldwide greed.
@@sheilasullivan1950 I often made less than that living here, though it’s not easy. My SS has kicked in and experiencing the cost of living here, I will do well, not have to work and having a partner is optional.
Life’s is too short,enjoy your life now while you still young, don’t wait until you 70 years old to retire! No way! Me I’m early retired at age of50 years old now I travel all over the world,I’m a Seafarer before,until I migrates in US year 1980, I work double job before,my job in US a Manufacturing Co. like Big Company And world known Electronics ,Medical, work for 35+ years until I early retired,my daughter is Phd.Doctorates,my son work in AT&T field Communication as IT,. Only God Know how long our life’s so let’s enjoy in every moments, Here’s in US a lot of peoples got sick and stress because to much work!
Geez, with the amount you mentioned, I can live in USA very comfortably. No need to go elsewhere. What are you talking about. I am retired with $1000 /m, very comfortable.
@tatatata5260 You laughed? How ignorant you are. I live in GA. And I am not lying. You're being ignorant and accusatory. I have a great roof over my head, electric and gas being subsidies, internet service free and own a car.
@@emmavogel1850 You probably have no high rent to pay. There are pensioners here in Germany with a different reality. In fact, many have to leave and go to a cheaper country in order to survive.
I would rather go to many small cities in Brazil or Mexico for retirement. The south of Chile is also amazing and beautiful. Many cities in Argentina are also a great alternative and specially cheap.
Misleading Title of No Money? Are $2000 to $3500 per month no money??!! Most retired ppl, single or couple don't have this monthly income in any country you mentioned, unless they have the govt and private pensions...which not many have. Adding medical, flying back n fort to native land, and other emergency expenses added to your figures, they make it more expensive than living in our own countries!! So, thumb down, n no subscription for us.
These calculations are in the high, in these countries with theses calculation you can live the best life, but for 20% of these calculation you can live a median high life in these countries, for example to retire very comfortable in Panama City Panama you can live with $1500 per month, and the retiree visa income is granted with only $1000.00 monthly income
I don’t know how accurate this video is. It’s been a dream of mine to retire in another country. Indonesia is awesome but it was disheartening seeing how filthy it is. That tourism money is not going to the infrastructure. That is my biggest hesitation on becoming a retired expat.
I just watched a Video on the Panama retirement visa, hosted by an Immigration Attorney, She stated that visa's min. age is 57, unless you have a pension from the military or Govt.
Thailand O visa requires EITHER $22,000 deposit permanently (can temporarily have as low as about $11,000) in a Thai bank savings account OR twelve monthly foreign transfers no less than $1,800 (65k baht) per year. If your embassy can provide you with a certification that your monthly foreign income is at least $1,800, twelve monthly foreign transfers are not required. US embassy will not provide such certification.
@icedteamama176 It won't matter. As long as they can verify that you have legitimate, consistent income, the decision will be made to determine if you meet the qualifications. If you're not sure, submit the paperwork that you have to that country.
In Greece you don't need anything mentioned in the video. You just have to enter a boat with other illegal immigrants and cross the Aegean sea. When the authorities find you you will have a living allowance of around 450 Euro and free accommodation and food 😁😁
Amazons of 🇨🇩 congo should be a good place for you to retire nice small hut 🛖 $300 a month food 200 health insurance 125 a month.. lots of nature and a clean environment
@tatatata5260 Bigoted, ignorant and insulting! The magnificent country of KENYA is one of the good options of African 🌍 countries to retire. CAPE VERDE is another good option. MAURITIUS is also another option as well.
Philippines is beautiful country, come here for a visit if you love the nature, sea and sand.. enjoy the place and cherish the hospitality of the people
@@Lakatan134 maybe we could meet up sometime if I get over to Philippine’s see how I could retire there life shit here in England need solitude in my life
Research is a participant sport. We all have individual needs. Only a go-getter will move to another country. Those who wait for others to do the work will talk about the move but never pull the trigger; that is most people.
These countries are demanding financially and expensive compared to some others ! (?) The easiest for low income potential expats has to be the Philippines and Cambodia. Language is easy for English speakers - not needing Spanish or some other language ?!? No ridiculous financial requirements are needed to remain in either country !!! --- These so called "best countries" presented here - are much too expensive for many. --?-- The homeless population is exploding across the nation and many of those folks can't use your recommended list here.
Been in cuenta Ecuador for8 years and I have a wife and2 kids in private school, a 5 bed 4 BA house in a very upper Middle class area and I don't spend 2k a month
Thailand is a terrible place to retire now. Most of the info in this video are inaccurate. There are better and cheaper places to retire. Keep looking.
I heard of a doctor that retired in Costa Rico but what he didn't count on that emergency ambulance to get you to the hospital on time. Guess what, the doctor died because he didn't realize they weren't so dependable. I am just letting anyone that wants to live in Costa Rica. I would forget it if I were retired.
Misleading video. Full of false information, first of all Costa Rica and Belize are some of the most expensive countries in latin america, the numbers shown there just dont add up. Plus: why are you showing images of Guatemala and Guatemala flag in the Belize section? They are different countries. Badly documented video indeed.
Thailand 🇹🇭 is the best. Low cost of living. Good low cost medical care. Beautiful beaches. Top tourist destinations Krabi, Phuket, HuaHin, ChiangMai, Bangkok. Good infrastructure and transportation. Fee, no visa for 60 days then Retirement visa. Good low cost housing. Very safe country, it's Travel hub for Asia. Retirement visa proof income $1800 month/or $22k/year, $100/month full medical insurance. $400 housing, $ 250 food.
The majority of these countries require incomes exceeding the cost of living estimates in this video to receive a residency or retirement visa. Do not rely on this video for accurate information. Always review the official government websites of the countries you are considering retiring in for accurate information.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family....
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...

I've been hopping between Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam and I love it. Check them out!
I’m curious how it works with the visas. Apparently, you need to leave and come back to fulfill the requirements of some countries. Can you confirm this? And how does that work?
Asia is a continent where weather temperature are going through the roof..everywhere. Extreme temperature are now common in India, Pakistan (50 celsius), Thailande, Vietnam, South China and so on Philippines also...better looking at place such as Bulgaria, Montenegro, Moldova, Ukraine before was nice also.
Philippines definitely.
Vietnam but avoid 2 big ciities as costs double or quadruple. It is a quiet life. I live in Nha Trang and Visa is tricky. I have 5 yr visa but need partner and language is tough. ( maybe toughest in world). But my cost is rock bottom which I unfortunately need.
live in the philippines, for S1000 monthly, you will have a comfortable life,people are friendly too
Poor health care is a serious issue in the Philippines especially for the working class.
And if you are a foreigner all the scams that gets thrown your way plus you get hit with the foreign tax
More than $1000 a month is not a small pension, if i had $1,500 a month, i will go to a batter place than the ones mentioned here!!
Average pension in the US is $1800. So where would you choose to go?
Not well research. Philippines is one good place to retire..
I’m surprised the Philippines is not in your list!
Philippines is hot and humid also rains a lot
And safe for foreigners
I am 56 and getting ready to retire. Was in Costa Rica some 14 years ago and truly enjoyed my stay over there with the good people of the lovely country. Desire to relocate to this country. Hope you can give me the Link towards achieving this dream.
Will I have a job in the aviation department? I'm an A&P Mechanic with multiple aircraft maintenance ratings and 31 years combined maintenance and quality control experience.
Kindly furnish me with all necessary details.
Much appreciation.
Seriously?
It's not the same costo, Rica, you visited 14 yrs back.. very, very expensive, lots of crime .. before making such a move visit and spend some time.. tourist spots are save and clean..
Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably in America. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, do I pull cash from my 401k and buy a house, or spread my money in stocks for cashflow? I'd love to afford my lifestyle after retirement?
Lately, I've been contemplating retirement, uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a secure future. I've also invested $800K in the stock market, experiencing fluctuations without substantial gains.
Using a 401(k) or IRA is a valuable strategy for retirement planning, providing potential savings growth and tax advantages. While the stock market is promising, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management
As a high income earner can you easily afford to contribute max of $22,500 to your traditional 401(k) and towards retirement? What is your Federal Tax Bracket and percentage of company match? I f you don't know all this then its best you consult with an advisor.
Market behavior can be complex and unpredictable. Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach to whom you have used their services?
Myself and a few other employees work with Sharon Ann Meny . She helps me max out on the Roth 401k in the month of November each year. My company matches 6% and I think my tax bracket is 22%.
Old Mexico. From my SS of 500 I can save 100. Perfect climate. Great produce. Cheap rent. Quality med and dental...cheap. Friendly. Spanish is easy. Read, cook, compose music, train tai chi, play tennis. Perfect. Permanent residency is easy. Did Caribbean, Pacific coast...pricey. Souht Central highlands is chill.
Where is Old Mexico. Could you be specific? I speak Spanish and am interested.
I thought Mexico is too dangerous! Corruption rampant. I don’t have enough extra money to pay bribes for whatever.
Are there occupational therapy jobs for my daughter?
Where exactly in old Mexico
Where do you live
Belize was sketchy. A resort we went to was nice.
Whilst the cost of living may be cheap enough what about medical insurance costs this can be very high depending on your age.
In surprised Turkiye is not on the list. I lived there for 1 1/2 years there and just came back to the US. I miss it and even though things are increasing there I made it on $1,500 per month easy and comfortably. Living keeping the same quality or better than the US
Now turkey 🇹🇷 has become very expensive, not the same lived there 12 years.. eating in restaurants like USA prices
Do more research! Most of the countries you mentioned are not cheap at all.
For Belize you are showing incorrect city views. You are showing the city of Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala - city in the neighboring country.
Most of these places they're showing are more expensive than staying in the United States.
No, it's much cheaper live in South East Asia than in US. Especially rent and food is very cheap compared to US.
I really appreciate and enjoy the posters comments about where the are living. The accounts are more believable.
One thing I've found about these videos is they are portraying things a lot less expensive than they really are.
well i for one say this vieo is nothing more then all B.S.. to say that $2,800 usd to $ 4,200 usd is a samll pension or social security that like $30k to $50k usd is being poor wich is not even close to being poor at all this is how i know this video is nothing but B.S.. if he truly wanted to do a video about samll pension or social security then it should be fore the majority of people on pension or social security is more like from $1,000 to 1,500 usd per month would be more accurate then what he is saying in this video i wish i wass getting $2,800 a month you do not even know how much money your would need to be making in yoru whole working career. that would be way over $40k a year you would need to make just to get the $2,800 per month not to say anything about how much you would need to make just to get $4,200 usd per month is way over the $50,400 usd peryear. this too is how i know the video. are there people getting $2800 to $4200 usd per month yes but they are not poor at all and they had made like 3 times or more per month then like the person working at yoru favorites restaurants of even your fast food place even lot of yoru people in distribution centers do not make that much to get what he his talking about. so the majority of people like hes truly should be talking about get less then $2k per month or even less like from $1k to $1,800 a month.
I used to earn 64k/yr my SS is now about half of that 2.9k/mo and I’m living in the Philippines comfortably. This video appears accurate to me.
These figures are if you want to live like you would if still in the states, big car, big house, and eating out every day (not local quisene) you can easily live much cheaper and happily on half as much.
Exactly. $1000 per month and it gets health insurance taken out before you get your net amount. If you have the income he's spoofing about? You wouldn't have to leave. But! You need a partner because you wont make it on your own. Worldwide greed.
@@sheilasullivan1950 I often made less than that living here, though it’s not easy. My SS has kicked in and experiencing the cost of living here, I will do well, not have to work and having a partner is optional.
Agreed 👍 it's all BS !!! All lies !!! I gave it a thumb down 👎
THE MAIN ISSUE is medical, all the rest can be managed. I would suggest you do more in this area.
Considering medical, where would that be?
Life’s is too short,enjoy your life now while you still young, don’t wait until you 70 years old to retire! No way! Me I’m early retired at age of50 years old now I travel all over the world,I’m a Seafarer before,until I migrates in US year 1980, I work double job before,my job in US a Manufacturing Co. like Big Company And world known Electronics ,Medical, work for 35+ years until I early retired,my daughter is Phd.Doctorates,my son work in AT&T field Communication as IT,. Only God Know how long our life’s so let’s enjoy in every moments, Here’s in US a lot of peoples got sick and stress because to much work!
Peru why not. Ecuador, bolivia, Colombia, Zambia, Egypt, Tunisia
If you had as much per month as Belize or some of these other countries insists you would have no reason to leave the US
USA you can't live 1000 to 1500 a month after paying rent and utilities
South India , particularly Kerala and Goa is very good option
Combodia to very cheap 1000 dollars more than enough
Thanks for this info 🙏🥳
Geez, with the amount you mentioned, I can live in USA very comfortably. No need to go elsewhere. What are you talking about. I am retired with $1000 /m, very comfortable.
$1000 /m where can you live in the USA?? It's probably under the bridge 🌉 😅 or at the bus 🚌 stop
@tatatata5260
You laughed? How ignorant you are. I live in GA. And I am not lying. You're being ignorant and accusatory.
I have a great roof over my head, electric and gas being subsidies, internet service free and own a car.
Our Pension together with my husband is only 1500euro and we live in Germany good.
@@emmavogel1850 You probably have no high rent to pay. There are pensioners here in Germany with a different reality. In fact, many have to leave and go to a cheaper country in order to survive.
Nice video. But why Spain is missing from this list? How is it worse than say Portugal?
Why do some overcrowded cities want so much money in their Banks? Nice to visit. But I could retire in any of the US states or USA territories.
Does anybody know about the complicated new Thai tax on expats?
If the required minimum income for Costa Rica is $1000, but the minimum monthly expense is $2000, please explain how one survives.
You go to areas outside of major cities those are the best anyway
They don't. That's why there's openings
I have no money so how am I going to get to these places?
Should try..... Thailand
The land of drugs....
@@annahmotsa7182 Um...that would be the US
I would rather go to many small cities in Brazil or Mexico for retirement. The south of Chile is also amazing and beautiful. Many cities in Argentina are also a great alternative and specially cheap.
Misleading Title of No Money? Are $2000 to $3500 per month no money??!! Most retired ppl, single or couple don't have this monthly income in any country you mentioned, unless they have the govt and private pensions...which not many have.
Adding medical, flying back n fort to native land, and other emergency expenses added to your figures, they make it more expensive than living in our own countries!! So, thumb down, n no subscription for us.
These calculations are in the high, in these countries with theses calculation you can live the best life, but for 20% of these calculation you can live a median high life in these countries, for example to retire very comfortable in Panama City Panama you can live with $1500 per month, and the retiree visa income is granted with only $1000.00 monthly income
I don’t know how accurate this video is. It’s been a dream of mine to retire in another country. Indonesia is awesome but it was disheartening seeing how filthy it is. That tourism money is not going to the infrastructure. That is my biggest hesitation on becoming a retired expat.
Defently Colombia is missing, more and more top. Booming economy, low costs, many american expats, easy to get visa and very beautiful! Nice people!
Beleize and Costa Rica
The Crime rates are wild
Awesome info
Very interesting.
Türkiye is the best choice for retirement
I just watched a Video on the Panama retirement visa, hosted by an Immigration Attorney, She stated that visa's min. age is 57, unless you have a pension from the military or Govt.
Thailand O visa requires EITHER $22,000 deposit permanently (can temporarily have as low as about $11,000) in a Thai bank savings account OR twelve monthly foreign transfers no less than $1,800 (65k baht) per year. If your embassy can provide you with a certification that your monthly foreign income is at least $1,800, twelve monthly foreign transfers are not required. US embassy will not provide such certification.
This was my first time i am moving to havana cuba or india
Costa Rica is not affordable at all. Real state is expensive, food is very expensive. For this videos people are misled and make bad decisions
Thats truth
Twenty five or twenty years ago, Costa Rica was a good place for retirement. Now, Costa Rica is no more affordable.
So asia with 6 months rain mosquito season and 6 months of over 100 degrees heat ....count me ....out
Philippines would be a good place tooo
Monthly income can be from anywhere? How do they verify the source of income? Thanks!
You will be required to submit proof.
@@L.A.-hm5yk like bank statements? Has to be local bank, correct?
@icedteamama176 It won't matter. As long as they can verify that you have legitimate, consistent income, the decision will be made to determine if you meet the qualifications. If you're not sure, submit the paperwork that you have to that country.
good information.. like it. will see you there soon.
Thanks
Portuguese airlines fly to Cape Town via Angola
In Greece you don't need anything mentioned in the video. You just have to enter a boat with other illegal immigrants and cross the Aegean sea. When the authorities find you you will have a living allowance of around 450 Euro and free accommodation and food 😁😁
😂
I think this video is clicked by none of these prices are low-income prices.Where do you get your information from
No idea why they did not put the Philippines in # 1?! Maybe the author/poster has not been there?

CAPE VERDE is another good option. MAURITIUS is also another option as well.
Give me a bit more information please I’ve traveled to Thailand quite a lot never been to philllipinenes
Philippines is beautiful country, come here for a visit if you love the nature, sea and sand.. enjoy the place and cherish the hospitality of the people
@@Lakatan134 maybe we could meet up sometime if I get over to Philippine’s see how I could retire there life shit here in England need solitude in my life
Research is a participant sport. We all have individual needs. Only a go-getter will move to another country. Those who wait for others to do the work will talk about the move but never pull the trigger; that is most people.
Due to a lot of Americans moving to these countries, rent has increased. I have to find a non saturated country that’s affordable and safe.
How can one live in Costa Rica with $3,000 a month?
These countries are demanding financially and expensive compared to some others ! (?) The easiest for low income potential expats has to be the Philippines and Cambodia. Language is easy for English speakers - not needing Spanish or some other language ?!? No ridiculous financial requirements are needed to remain in either country !!! --- These so called "best countries" presented here - are much too expensive for many. --?-- The homeless population is exploding across the nation and many of those folks can't use your recommended list here.
Been in cuenta Ecuador for8 years and I have a wife and2 kids in private school, a 5 bed 4 BA house in a very upper Middle class area and I don't spend 2k a month
Türkiye ! Best place to retire . Live your life
Thailand is a terrible place to retire now. Most of the info in this video are inaccurate. There are better and cheaper places to retire. Keep looking.
We retired in South America. ! It’s been great !
What area in SA do you recommend ?
Thailand was interesting. I wouldn’t want to live in Bangkok. Went to Koh samui. It was nice.
All very expensive places with hard requirements

3000 a month in costa rica..thats pricey.
I heard of a doctor that retired in Costa Rico but what he didn't count on that emergency ambulance to get you to the hospital on time. Guess what, the doctor died because he didn't realize they weren't so dependable. I am just letting anyone that wants to live in Costa Rica. I would forget it if I were retired.
Don't depend on ambulances or fire trucks in foreign countries.
Misleading video. Full of false information, first of all Costa Rica and Belize are some of the most expensive countries in latin america, the numbers shown there just dont add up. Plus: why are you showing images of Guatemala and Guatemala flag in the Belize section? They are different countries. Badly documented video indeed.
How is Costa Rica number 1? Its gotten so expensive there...
he's a poor researcher maybe😆
soooo true.... these people have no ideal how so many have to live on SSI...
Portugal. D7 visa for non EU citizen. Belize - qualified retirement program. ty
Thailand 🇹🇭 is the best. Low cost of living. Good low cost medical care. Beautiful beaches. Top tourist destinations Krabi, Phuket, HuaHin, ChiangMai, Bangkok. Good infrastructure and transportation. Fee, no visa for 60 days then Retirement visa. Good low cost housing. Very safe country, it's Travel hub for Asia.
Retirement visa proof income $1800 month/or $22k/year, $100/month full medical insurance. $400 housing, $ 250 food.
Great information nice places just subscribed
The majority of these countries require incomes exceeding the cost of living estimates in this video to receive a residency or retirement visa. Do not rely on this video for accurate information. Always review the official government websites of the countries you are considering retiring in for accurate information.
