More than 300,000 retired Americans live outside the country in places such
as Mexico, Costa Rica and Portugal. They go for several reasons: climate, a
lower cost of living that translates into a higher standard of living, savings
on medical expenses and the excitement of residing and traveling in a foreign
country. Many relocate early in retirement, spend several years abroad and
then return home.

Sound interesting? Then you won't want to miss this informative primer on
retiring abroad. Learn how to determine if you'd be happy living abroad,
how to find the country and town that best suit your lifestyle and how to
adjust to everyday life in a new country. The report covers retirement spots
in Mexico and Central America, the Caribbean, Canada and southern Europe
and provides sources for additional information. Finally, the report tells you
the most common (and costly) mistakes you could make in the process of
moving abroad and how to avoid them.
