An Increasing Number of Baby Boomers Explore Low-Cost Retirement Lifestyles Overseas

By Jennifer Stevens September 1, 2015

A growing number of the 8,000 baby boomers who turn 65 each year are looking overseas in search of a better retirement. They’re looking to havens where costs are lower, the climate is often better, the healthcare is top-notch, and property prices deliver good value, report the retire-overseas experts at InternationalLiving.com. “The traditional age for retirement in the U.S. is 65, but many Americans feel they’ll have to keep working into their 70s before they can retire comfortably… if they ever can,” says Executive Editor of InternationalLiving.com, Jennifer Stevens.
