Ten best places to retire in the world!

Make it Shine Money

In this podcast episode of Make It Shine Money, Monisha and Shirley discuss the 10 best and most affordable places to retire in the world. They use a study released by International Living in 2023 that asked Americans retired overseas to score 10 categories including housing, benefits and low-cost perks, visas and ease of residence, cost of living, cultural assimilation and entertainment, quality and accessibility of healthcare, development, climate, government stability, and opportunity to semi-retire. Each category scored up to 100 points and the hosts discuss the top 10 countries that scored the highest. They also conducted their own research outside the study and used Numbeo.com to compare the cost of everyday things to New York City to help level set. The hosts discuss each country's ranking, its score on each category, and everyday costs compared to New York City. The podcast covers countries such as Thailand, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. #retirementplanning #internationaltravel #affordableliving #expatlifestyle #numbeo #InternationalLiving #podcasting #financialliteracy
