Best Country to Retire

As M.D and travelling executive of HuGe LoNg BeLtS Ltd i have nothing but praise for the USA, my business is thriving and due to the USA profits i may now retire.
Thanks Yanks

Sid…this is amazing…and I suspect most unexpected on your part…

You have brought out a bunch of Hate America Firsters!

America is the best country because of:

1 - Liberty
2 - Federalism
3 - Rule of Law
4 - An insight offered by the Frenchman Marbois when discussing the price for the Louisiana Purchase (paraphrasing): "Think about what you are buying…you are not just buying land, you are buying no neighbors…no disputes."

These things make our *government* the best…people are no different anywhere.

America needs to drop its obsession with being number one. It is time for the United States to become a member of the world community rather than a murderous bully. Obscene over-consumption has become a hallmark of the United States. While not all Americans fall prey to Madison Avenue’s propaganda glamorizing gluttony, many do. People of other industrialized nations enjoy a respectable standard of living without consuming a quarter of the world’s resources (while representing only 5% of the world’s population). Other nations face reprisals and penalties for the violation of international law. Without regard for justice, the United States wields international law like a club or blatantly defies it, depending on what best suits American interests at the time. Ongoing support of repressive regimes (like Saudi Arabia’s) to further America’s economic interests, unflinching support of its proxy military enforcer in the Middle East (Israel), disregard for the plight of the Palestinians, and hypocrisy over who gets to join the "nuclear club" are but a few more examples of how America’s government engenders more abhorrence of America and invites continued terrorism.

I’m looking to reitre in the Philippines because I met a lady friend. I was told the country was the best to retire to because it is clean and cheap to live their and safe and supposidly it’s the friendliest nation in Asian…what do you think?

You are asking this in a location where the retired people will be prejudiced, Travel Thailand.
Why don’t you ask it at the Travel Phillipines.

Please pick an answer as the best answer, even if it is not mine.

Currently living in the United States and am expecting to receive Social Security in about 10 years. Assuming it hasn’t dried up by then, will I still be eligible to receive it if I move to another country?

Yes! If you are an American Citizen or are a Legal Immigrants and move to another country then you can receive your Social Security in just abuout any country in the world. You can either receive it in form of a check sent to you overseas, or what’s better is you open a bank account in a legitimate and credible bank overseas and then your request the Social Security Administration through filling out a form to have your Social Security checks come to in form of Direct Deposit.
Usually if you are in a country where there is a U.S. Embassy they have a Social Security Office inside the Embassy. Though the U.S. Consulate can also act a go between you and the Social Security Administration, as far as accrediting who you are and assisting with the filing of the transfer of your Social Security checks to either a physical address in that country or by way of Direct Deposit to a bank of your choosing in the country where you want to live.
