The Financial Guide to Retiring Abroad was written specifically for you. Retiring abroad can be difficult. You'll need to buy health insurance, open new bank accounts, and apply for special retirement visas. All of these things require research and effort. This book aims to help guide a would-be retiree in overcoming many of the pitfalls that can challenge a successful retirement abroad.At the end of the day, for most people retiring overseas is about money. You do it because you want to maintain or improve your standard of living. In order to maximize your savings and your pension, you may move to a poorer country in Asia, Latin America, maybe even Africa. This book will advise you on the wisest course of action, how to invest properly so you avoid getting caught up in local risky ventures, and how to make sure the country you are moving to is both economically and politically stable. What about buying property? This will be the biggest temptation you will face in your move abroad. This guide has an in-depth discussion on the wisdom of such a purpose, and whether it really is as promising an "investment" as you've been told.No matter in what country you decide to spend your retirement, this book is for you. Whether you want to move to the beautiful farmland of rural France, or are budget-minded and want a sophisticated urban setting in downtown Buenos Aires, The Financial Guide to Retiring Abroad was written with you in mind. Don't retire overseas without reading it!
