Things To Consider If You Are Thinking Of Retiring Abroad
Moving abroad is a big decision and one that stirs up a complex mix of emotions. There will be plenty of excitement, but also some anxiety too. The immediate fears that people have include being far from their family and loved-ones; having to make new friends and dealing with a new language and culture. However, bare in mind that many retirees find a whole new social world opens up to them abroad. Learning a new language can be a challenge, but even investing a small amount of effort will pay dividends. Your family and all those friends you are worried about missing may still be back home, but wait until you have moved into your new home. You will be amazed at how many reasons they will find to spend a couple of weeks with you. Just make sure the spare bed is made!
Health care is often a worry too, but English-speaking doctors are available in many places, and health services in many countries are now on a par with the UK, if not better.
The process of finding and buying a property in an unfamiliar country is also bound to cause concern. Set about buying a home in the sun the wrong way and you might lose your shirt. As with any major financial decision, take expert advice, keep a cool head, and do plenty of research. Hundreds of thousands of people have made the move abroad without mishap - there is no reason why you can't too.
