It doesn't take a lot of money to retire. Here's the math, the countries, and the thought process of retiring early...nicely...happily....soon. And it's so much easier with a 'plan'.

I CANNOT believe you’re 76. You don’t look a day over 62. You give me hope going into my 60’s!

@brunomonteros4554

Instead of numbers why don't you give us the recipe to look younger, I didn't know your age until I read some comments.

Very interesting video. We’re currently driving through the Americas (Alaska - Argentina) and have found that almost any country we’ve visited in Latin America has a place or two where we could see our selves retiring someday. We’re on Colombia now (also spent a couple months in Ecuador) so we’ll see how things go in Peru, Chile, Argentina, etc. But I guess my point is… that before this trip we looked at Latin America as a monolith and couldn’t have been more wrong. The media (plus friends and relatives) really impacted our views and before leaving we couldn’t see ourselves living outside of the US / Europe / part of Asia where I’ve spent time. Traveling has really opened my eyes and I think the southern hemisphere has a lot more to offer than we’re lead to believe.

Wow, thank you!!! I’ve been researching countries for 2-3 years. Ruled out the EU and narrowed it down to Mexico & Costa Rica. Then just this past week I thought if I sell my house how much can I make off of the equity? It’s like you read my mind. Thank You for putting all this together! Perfect timing!

My company gave us 15 percent profit sharing every year. It’s a privately owned garbage company. Every time I see the owners (family) I’m like thank you so much. I’m a dummy, you changed my life

@MainStInformant

I'm 47. Goal is retire by 50. Hoping to retire next year, if investment does well over next 12 months.

@StreetSmartMillionaire

Those numbers go out the window if you have any income after 62 because your SS will be cut. Also they UNLIKELY won't change the numbers for older citizens just for the youngsters paying in.

@wgarnsey

I appreciate your videos. I am right on your described path. I always thought I'd work until 70, then I started asking myself why? I'm 62, just retired and we just sold our CA home. My wife retired from the airlines. We aren't rich and had normal jobs. Where we were living the SF Bay Area, every month is hand-to-mouth. We drive a 12 year old car and cannot afford to eat out. We cannot retire in our home, will have to move somewhere else. However, outside the US could make it not only possible but higher quality. We are currenly applying for our Panama Pensionado visa. We have family in Italy who we can spend several months a year living with them.

@hermank1474

I think you're wrong. In most of these countries there are requirements for a retiree visa. Without it you'll can stay for only short amount of time (3 or 6 months usually). For Spain, for example, "The current minimum annual income needed is around $28,400, with an extra $7,100 for each additional family member." This IS NOT money you obtain from selling your house. This must be permanent (and indexed) retirement income promised by your government (by a stamped letter) until your death. They don't accept your savings in bonds for this purpose.

@James-dx6sf

If you retire before your full retirement age which is 66 years and 10 months for me, you get discounted if you work and earn more than a small amount.

@johnrencher442

Fantastic information, I was told years ago get out as soon as you can, take the social security and run from the USA… you have made that even more clear….Thanks

Great video! I'm 50 and looking at this hard and getting on the right trajectory to retire in Argentina. I need to snowbird though. Kids will be here.
