    Default Best International Places to Retire

    The best countries to retire in 2015

    source: International Living Magazine

    (I'm thinking Thailand might be good)

    As luxurious as it sounds, retiring abroad can often make a lot more financial sense than living out your golden years close to home. Deciding where to lay down roots outside of the U.S. is the tricky part.

    Each year, International Living Magazine releases its Global Retirement Index to help point retirees in the right direction. The survey relies on a combination of first-person accounts from their legion of international correspondents and editors, as well as data from the World Bank and the World Health Organization. Countries are ranked based on a range of factors, including real estate, cost of living, ease of fitting in, health care costs/quality, infrastructure, and climate.



    For the full index, which ranks 25 countries, check out the report here. We’ve highlighted the top 10 below:

    Mine is Alaska which is so far off. Wife and I LOVE the Caribbean so the results of that test is a complete 180 from our goals.

    But it was fun to take.
