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.

NEWS WRAP – Study Suggests 401(k) System Woefully Inadequate for Most

All being well, when an individual reaches retirement they will have enough cashflow to continue their pre-retirement lifestyle; however, a new study indicates that many in the US will be unable to meet even their basic spending needs once they stop working.

The new report, from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), finds that despite accruing around three decades worth of savings into their 401(k) accounts, most retirement savers between the ages of 56 and 61 have a median account balance of $21,000.*

It would be tempting to think that younger people were better prepared, yet the same study reveals that the first generation of millennials are just as poorly, if not more poorly, prepared for retirement, with a median 401(k) saving of approximately $1,000.*
