Move Abroad for Your Retirement?

One great advantage to being American is that English is nowadays the lingua franca pretty much anywhere you go, and with 18.2% of Americans speaking Spanish as well, there are very few places Americans can’t go without being confident of their ability to communicate – although this is not to say that there is not rich reward to be enjoyed in learning to speak the native language of your expat retirement destination.

However, moving abroad is not a decision that is to be taken lightly. Not only should you thoroughly research your destination of choice, the type of visa you will require, the healthcare on offer and the expat community that exists there, you will also need to look into the full spectrum of expat wealth management considerations such as the pension and retirement planning vehicles, double taxation treaties with the United States and more. You will also have to consider reporting regulations in relation to your income – simply moving away from the US is not enough to negate your tax liability in the country.

Are You Prepared for Medical Costs in Retirement?

How much money will you need for medical costs when you retire?

Unfortunately the medical costs burden is much higher than many might imagine: a 65-year-old couple retiring in 2019 in the US will need to have saved $280,000 between them in order to meet the health and medical costs they will face through their retirement years.*

Individual retirees face a similar financial burden: $150,000 for women and $135,000 for men. These figures contrast sharply with what people predict they will need: around half expect their medical costs will be below $100,000 and 33% said they have no idea how much they will need.*
