[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5509439, member: 24302"] Everyone's situation is different. I'm not looking to live in Malaysia, just showing what it's like out there. I imagine most people wouldn't want to be far from family while others might see living in say Mexico no different than if they lived in New Jersey and their daughter's family was in California. Would actually be closer to them flying from Mexico. Economic reality often means families are scattered as they find jobs. And economic reality means a very difficult retirement financially for many Americans. They may not want to be a burden on their children moving in with them but have no choice. Living overseas gives economic independence back to them. When my parents are gone my choices boil down to struggling to stay in Florida near my sister who is great but extremely busy, go back to living with my wife and her angry daughter in Illinois, going camping fulltime in the Southwest, or living overseas. I'm going to do what gives me the most peace of mind. Get a dog for companionship. [/QUOTE]
