[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5450528, member: 24302"] I'm 60 now. A lot of people come down on me for going to another country but don't understand why. When my SS starts at 62 I should get between my pension and SS about $3500 a month before taxes. Living in Argentina I can get by on less than $500 a month. So for five years I can really sock away some money. It's no hardship to live there on that. Not luxurious, but not horrible either. At the end of the five years will have a nest egg to draw off of and come back to the States. Will still have to live frugally, but I prefer the ease of living here with English. Will only go back overseas if I have to. It was never about those countries being better than the U.S., just cheaper. They have some amazing scenery too. Of course with my dad's new pacemaker he may live another 5 years or more which is great. But it'll definitely change my plans. [/QUOTE]
