I’m semiretired I’m not taking SS yet I’m 64 will be 65 in September, I take 500$ a month from IRA account I work perdiem my own schedule 1-2 days a week my wife works for the same health system I do so I get benefits from her.
im planning on eventually living 4-6 months in Chile and the time here in the states I can even get my SS sent to me in Chile if i need to live there permanently, I’m enjoying my life

I've got a client that retired to Mexico. They love it. I can't remember exactly what area but they use a UPS Store in Houston as their US connection.

They live very comfortably on their SS benefits and savings. They told me they have enough to pay rent, eat out, etc., with no financial worries.

Yeah for us Chile is such an easy transition I’ve got extended family there and I just found out that I still have my Chilean citizenship so I have dual citizenship, I know someone who’s also collecting SS there and says the exchange makes his living very comfortable

How do you handle healthcare if you are overseas and don’t wish to return early?

I’m a Chilean citizen I’ll apply for their healthcare

My wife and I have been having that same conversation about Japan. Healthcare is almost free and once you are outside a major city, the cost of living is not too bad. Japan also treats the elderly very well.
