Ever think about retiring to another country?

[CHenry]

Uruguay is the only central/south american country with decent gun laws for citizens and some semblance of political stability with low corruption. I need to do more research though.

New Zealand as well (guns). Cost of living is close to the same (was) as it is in OK, when I looked it up last. The thought of the mountains being 45 min from the ocean also is very appealing to me. But damn, thats half way around the globe.

I knew some people that retired to Costa Rica close to 20 years ago. They loved it and were still there as of about 6 years ago.

I heard CR was more expensive than I can afford?

Add Panama to your list. English speaking. US Dollar. Good healthcare.

I actually have a rich buddy who bought an island down there. He flies back and forth to the US all the time. If his work didn’t require in person occasionally he’d never come back.

Moved from California to Arizona in 1978. Lived in Scottsdale for 25 years. Phoenix area and surrounding growing like crazy. Retired in 2004, moved to small town in mountains (payson) lived there 15 years. Got so bad with valley people (Phoenix) coming up the hill to escape heat in summer and wanting snow fun in winter, that the highway was backed up 15 miles. Moved to Ok. 5 years ago. Bought 30 acres and am much happier. Don’t need the congestion anymore. Yeah, I’m old.

I was looking at Kingman,,,
I had the backing to open a Tandy Leather Franchise there.

Then my better sense took control of me,,,
I'm very glad that I decided to stay put.

Oklahoma isn't the perfect state to live in,,,
But it's good enough to suit me.

if I ever left the US I would probably go to Hungary the gun laws aren't that great but I know a handful of people there and I like the scenery and the food.

If I wasn't ao ols I woulds certainly consider living in Portugal or similar country. The US isn't the most reasonable in which to live.

Never seriously thought about it.
We joked about maybe Belize, but 2A is deal breaker and grandkids.

Come Nov, it may be back on the table.


ETA: I worked with two that retired to Puerto Rico, one retired in Costa Rico and one retired in Nicaragua .
Guess they're happy, haven't heard from them.

Wif suggested selling everything and living on a 🛳 cruise ship. Talked with a guy that done it, 15 years ago. He loved it, until Gates released his biohazard on the World. Had about 6 months of limited living space.
