With the rising cost of health care, no end in site to the global economic crisis, and seemingly no will on the part of politicians to find real solutions, the question “How much money do I need to retire?” takes on grave importance for the millions of people now reaching retirement age.

But what if you lived in a place where the weather meant your utility bills were almost nothing? Where, compared to the U.S., quality healthcare cost a fingernail clipping instead of an arm and a leg? Where taxes were a fraction of what you’re paying now… if there were any taxes at all? Where the economic crisis was just another news story from a worrisome world far away?
