Has Anyone Considered Retiring Abroad?

Panama is warm, inexpensive, safe and offers the best retiree perks anywhere in the world. Plus, it's only a 2 1/2-hour flight from Florida, without the outrageous prices. There are also wonderful and affordable places in the Caribbean and north of the border in Canada (for those who don't mind cold winters).

I have even heard of India as a retirement destination for English people although it is open to anyone. Not sure location.
Appreciation information about any foreign destination, especially Europe, Central America, India.
What about Tennessee (Nashville)?

What about retirement in Pa. They too do not tax federal retirement, but what about property taxes, etc. Thanks for the assistance !

Florida is Hot folks, I mean like Hot. The sun destroys everything, along with the humidity. Property taxes are getting up there as people with kids still send them to school. Most of those kids end up taking care of you in your old age so you really do not want to short change them. On the otherside the winters are nice, just make sure you have someplace cool to go in the summer. I grew up in FL and saw many people move back north. Places in New Mexico are actually nicer and reasonably priced.
Florida's intangible tax

Just a note. Florida abolished their intangible tax a year ago. I lived there 20 years before moving to Alabama and you are right about the property tax. When I first moved there, the taxes on my house were 246.00. Now the same house, which is 50 years old is taxed at 3200.00. The equivalent tax in Alabama would be about 800.00, if that.

Consider coming to Alabama. I moved to Florence, Alabama(located in the Northwest corner of the state) seven years ago and love it. The Tenn river is the South border of the city and the boating and fishing is wonderful. The University of North Alabam is located here and has an enrollment of around 7,000. Homes are very reasonable and property taxes minimal. You can buy a 3000 sf house with 1/2 to 1 acre lot for 260-350k. Nice homes in the 1500-2200sf sell for 175-200k. The crime rate is very low and the people are fantastic.Homes on the river are of course more expensive because they are not making any more waterfronts. Y'all come.

Time magazine did a piece maybe 8 years ago re the "halfback States" for retirement. Many who retired from NE US to Fla. found it was too far from family. They moved "half way back" to North Carolina. Spoke of low taxes for retirees. One couple found a small town next to a National Forest and with a small college. Had access to classes and cultural events at the school. Did hiking, fishing and camping in the Forest. Some towns laughingly (I hope) found the "damn Yankees" deeply involved in the running of the towns after a time.
