Living in US and Canada with a pension plan is almost impossible, considering expenses and for a private RRSP is estimated you need half a million to live comfortably, but where Americans, Brits and Canadians can enjoy retirement in a cheap paradise outside their countries….

I’ve done it. I’m a UK citizen and therefore can live and retire anywhere in the EC, I chose the delightful island of Cyprus, specifically the holiday hot spot of Ayia Napa.. There are literally tens of thousands of UK citizens retired here and we enjoy a very high standard of living in a very low crime area.

US and Canadian citizens don’t have that right and few countries still offer retirement visas. Thailand and Costa Rica do and I believe that Belize may be possible. Worth researching if it interests you.

If you can’t leave the USA it’s worth looking at :-

This ranks the 50 states by rising cost of living. To give an example, New York costs about 130% of the national average to live in and is cold in winter whereas Tennessee is less than 90% of average and definitely warmer. Useful info if money is short.

2 years ago JRob™ (Best Kept Secret) asked:

Does Lou Holtz need to retire and get off of television?

He added these remarks:

He is just a senile old man that is completely out of touch with modern day football and thinks Notre Dame is the best team in the country…

I don’t get what the big deal is…I mean Lou isn’t hurting anybody and it’s not like he is actually coaching football …Let him believe what he wants to …
