10 Easiest Countries to Retire Comfortably in 2022

[@skoopqueen]

Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I’m 40 and my husband 44 we are both retired with over $1 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle in the made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income. We are currently in Greece enjoying our retirement...

[@eadad4371]

Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated

[@skoopqueen.]

@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

[@bolewts58]

I have lived in Thailand for 25 years and have been retired for the last 9. It's more expensive than you mentioned, unless you really want to live like a native. Most expats never do because they want some creature comforts (like a/c) and don't necessarily always want to eat cheap Thai food. Outside of Bangkok and tourist areas, it's cheaper. But, you'll need to speak the language which is very difficult to learn. Expect to actually need at least $2,000 USD/month to even begin to have a comfortable lifestyle.

Furthermore, there is even a VA clinic and office in Manila (the only foreign based one) making it that much more desirable for veterans.

@@circuitdesign In my opinion its just as safe as anywhere else and I've been everywhere in Asia with the exception of Myanmar. I'm a white American. I know people of all races who are US expats in the Philippines. Most are age appropriately retired. If they have had safety issues, they have never communicated them to me. The only place I would say that is 'dangerous' would be in the middle of mindanao - we drove through some military and police check points on the drive out of davao because there is supposedly some anti-government organizations that are 'dangerous'. I didn't have any issues in mindanao personally. Obviously that is anecdotal and I would advise you to follow the US State Department travel recommendations while in country, but if you stay near the main cities and the tourist locations you will have a great experience... unless you're a belligerent drunk.

You missed the best of all: Paraguay. You make a temporary deposit of about $5,000 to prove solvency, and can apply directly for permanent residency without the help of an agent or lawyer. The cost is around $300 per person. The country is rapidly developing, has increasingly good infrastructure and relatively low crime. Lots of natural beauty, some of the best fishing in the world and a rapidly developing tourist industry. Coupled to friendly and helpful people, it is a sure winner. We moved here nearly 4 years ago and have no regrets at all, except that we should have moved earlier.

THE easiest is Cambodia. If you are 55 years old you don't have to show any income or saved money. You don't need to even go to immigration. You just get an ordinary visa on arrival and go to a travel agency to do a retirement extension. No questions asked. You just pay the price of the visa for a year.

Greece is great if you are receiving an overseas pension. Life is certainly cheaper but make sure you have great health insurance. As a country it has great doctors but the public hospitals leave a lot to be desired. But I think there is some type of health cover that some overseas people are able to get. I wouldn't live in a remote village if I had health issues unless there is a large town close by. The smaller out of the way islands during the winter months don't have a regular boat service but the large ones like Rhodes,Crete and Kerkyra are fine. I shall be spending my time between Athens and where I am now as I already have a home there and a place in Western Greece. Best of both worlds!!
