Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I’m 40 and my husband 44 we are both retired with over $1 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle in the made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income. We are currently in Greece enjoying our retirement...
Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated
@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her.
She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.
@@skoopqueen. That’s great , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
@@eadad4371 look her up on the internet and leave her a message she's quite popular for her services as she was recently featured on cnn. She can work with anyone irrespective of where their located
@@skoopqueen. I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .
Look: I'm chilean. It's by far the best country in South América...but we are having some politics and security problems now, in 2022. My advice: wait a couple of years.
Great video. Thanks for the upload!

very well compiled
This was definitely a cool video
Appreciate your work 🙏
Awesome video I enjoyed the content of the vlog.. MORE🤭
Excellent vidéo. 👍
Great information!!!
Thanks!
All are Awesome great super retire destination countries.
Very informative ..
Thanks buddy nice video
I love you Portugal beautiful and clean rich country Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Bot here
I have lived in Thailand for 25 years and have been retired for the last 9. It's more expensive than you mentioned, unless you really want to live like a native. Most expats never do because they want some creature comforts (like a/c) and don't necessarily always want to eat cheap Thai food. Outside of Bangkok and tourist areas, it's cheaper. But, you'll need to speak the language which is very difficult to learn. Expect to actually need at least $2,000 USD/month to even begin to have a comfortable lifestyle.
My retirement pension is $3400 per month so looks like I could live comfortably in Thailand.
@@SmithFam2323 If you picture is actually you, I'd advise against Thailand. Thais are quite racist and do not like black people.
@@SmithFam2323 If your (net) retirement pension is $3400 per month you could live like ''a king'' in Greece (but i guess that goes for most countries on the list...).
Good info....thanks.
Depends on the person .I lived 15 years in Thailand ,mostly up North in Chiang mai .The last year there i lived on about B20,000 $660 a month .I done without a/c and eat Thai food .Lived in a studio apartment with balcony .Had a motorcycle to get around .Long term Visas can be costly .Being married to a Thai lady at the time helped with that .
very helpful
Chile sounds good to me!!
If you are rich. Anyone saying Portugal is cheap doesnt live there. The prices are now much higher than Spain for everything.
The things I would like to know but never heard addressed. I s their a feral animal problem and how is the pollution? We love animals& I have pretty bad asthma..
They are building a new resort, the Scandic Hurghada. Its almost finished, and you can buy an appartment in the building.
Good topic, visas are important
Awesome information. Very informative and useful. Cheers
Where the hell is Philippines?
-Affordable
-Hospitable people
-Best beaches
-People can speak English
Lots of poor, food not great, healthcare below standards of other SE Asian countries, worst air pollution in major areas due to jeepneys and such.
@@GUITARTIME2024 I respect ur opinion.
Malawi is gorgeous, right on the lake and rent is dirt cheap.
Could you be more specific as I am considering it as an option. What are the visa options?
Thank you
You need 0ver $2,500 USD a month in Mexico to get a retirement visa of any sort in Mexico now. Thailand is not super cheap anymore, not close.
Just be born in the E.U. You get access to 27 countries relatively hassle free. Perfect.
And just make sure you're white. Skin colour is very important in these racist countries, lol.
Yes and all are getting expensive, all have varying levels of English, etc.
I love Europe
funny that I can see my house, that I am sitting in right now, in this video (Thailand)
Have you any information regarding retirement visas for Indonesia, what are the requirements. Thank you and take care
I'm from Belgium but the best place to retire in Europe is Portugal(just my opinion) Great climate,great food and a nice 2 bedroom appartement in the Porto region will only set you back about 350 euros a month
Make sure you bring your belgium ladies friends with you, we will wait for you!! jk :) Greetings from Portugal
Curious about argentina and uruguay
Portugal 🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹❤️
I’m in Portugal 🇵🇹 best place in the world 🥰
And no taxes on Crypto gains in Portugal.
When I consider retirement top of my list is healthcare, political stability, cost of living, security and personal safety.
Yes what you said is exactly what I want in a country when it comes to quality of life living , so why is Mexico 4th on this list and ahead of Portugal lol what a joke .
Sadly, the US is quickly eliminating all of those thanks to republicans.
So freedom is not an issue then?
Leaves out the US
@@paulm7448 I bet your definition of freedom is absolute license to do as you please without any regard to others.
Nice video, Dominican Republic is also friendly for retirees, easy on the visas and only couple of hours from the States
Is it affordable though...
And not safe.
That's living on a prison island. If you wonder over to Haiti you're just asking for trouble.
@@GUITARTIME2024 Dominican Republic isn't dangerous, Haiti is
A couple of hours from the states should put most people off
You showing all the beautiful sides of these countries but for the minimum amount needed to get a residency what kind of place do you live in and what is the area around it like. I'm sure on the beach is more than what you're saying probably have to live more in like the slums
Informative and beneficial video
Sadly misinformation too
Portugal is so friendly ♥️
Miserable people
@@kippsguitar6539Mr hater. Suerte de los portugueses que no tienem que aguantar tu mala música y tu fea voz, mala suerte de nosotros que tenemos que escucharte por Cartagena. Desde Zaragoza, L. Aragonés.
Some very bad musician went to Portugal, played, and didnt have the most welcoming reaction...probably by some stupid kids, there are nice kids and stupid kids everywhere, even in Portugal...in this case, I aplaude whoever didnt treat you well, cause you clearly deserve that.
@@kippsguitar6539 Obviously if you said that, it's because you met all the people in Portugal. They're not as miserable as you for sure.
@@levyaragones6082 Thanks for your support Levy! Respect from Portugal, brother
I’m from Chile but right now is so insecure, a lot of robberies
There's just too many darned people in the world now so none of these places are gonna be much different.
@@taroman7100 hahahahahahah, true.
I love Chile it’s top of my list to retire..
Portugal and Spain are beautiful but not cheap .
For the Batman?! everything you wanted, boss
Portugal & Spain, here I come...
I don't see any Caribbean countries
Having spent many years in SE Asia, I would tell you that the Philippines is easily the best place for American's to retire in the pacific. Not only is their English proficiency the highest in the region, the people are extremely friendly, cost of living is cheaper than Thailand, and they have comparable amenities. Furthermore, there is even a VA clinic and office in Manila (the only foreign based one) making it that much more desirable for veterans.
MAURICE
At least for Americans, I'd agree the Phillippines is number #1, no competition. English speakers everywhere and friendly people who don't label or treat you different as a "farang" (the problem with Thailand).
I thought Rizal Park was amazing at night, but didn't like the food, and don't find most of the people attractive
What about safety for Americans in the Phillipines? Is it dangerous? Does it depend on the color of your skin?
@@circuitdesign In my opinion its just as safe as anywhere else and I've been everywhere in Asia with the exception of Myanmar. I'm a white American. I know people of all races who are US expats in the Philippines. Most are age appropriately retired. If they have had safety issues, they have never communicated them to me. The only place I would say that is 'dangerous' would be in the middle of mindanao - we drove through some military and police check points on the drive out of davao because there is supposedly some anti-government organizations that are 'dangerous'. I didn't have any issues in mindanao personally. Obviously that is anecdotal and I would advise you to follow the US State Department travel recommendations while in country, but if you stay near the main cities and the tourist locations you will have a great experience... unless you're a belligerent drunk.
Portugal is the Top Pick on this list
Now thats what i am talkin about.
Portugal, Greece and Croatia for me :)
It is good in Croatia if you have a foreign pension. Unfortunately it is difficult to survive with a Croatian pension without some other income. 😕
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar this is about retiring in a foreign country...meaning foreigners generally don't have anything to do with Croatian pension
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar same everywhere no matter what people may say to the contrary
Yes, same for me.
Croatia 🤣🤣🤣, I'd say Croazuela, literally no one wants to live here.🤣🤣🤣
If you can put up with the corruption, air pollution and the many scams Thailand would be a good choice for retirement. But you could live there for a hundred years and you would still be considered a foreigner and treated as such, plus the fact it is getting way more expensive.
You’ll be treated as a foreigner in any non-native country.
BS - No problem with scams and the people are VERY friendly and treat you well. Air pollution and corruption apply only to big cities (as in most of the world), plus the Thais respect the elders. Thailand is a beautiful place and I would recommend it highly to anyone - but then I've only lived here for 16 yrs . . .
TRY JAPAN NOW AS THE YEN HAS CRASHED !! Super clean, Not expensive compared to the countries like Thailand. Older apartments are dirt cheap even in a outer Tokyo suburb and A retirement visa is possible as long as you have NO criminal record. I believe Thailand and especially the Philippines do a criminal backround check with the US NCIC computer so even a minor record will exclude a very large portion of potential people.
I am moving to Uruguay
Lots of great options there! We're making our way overland towards Greece at the moment. Looking forward to seeing it for ourselves! :D
Finally someone thinks thing though. UA-cam is full of retire here and there reviews like look at how cheap and nice is VietNam...As some one who lived there b4 covid it is very nice, however no RETIREMENT or LONG STAY VISAS available,duh!!!
Are there any real safe places in Mexico? A place that is not solely tourist driven.
Panama sounds nice
turkey is very cheap and a good standard of living . i am going next week to icmeler . you can get an apartment for about
£60 to £70 per week .
Religious nightmare.
@@NoTaboos not really . the turkish are secular and dont really talk politics . there is a problem with the kurdish people , but normally the tourist never gets to see the friction .
North Cyrpus is like Turkey in the 80s completely secular and better weather.
Portugal 🇵🇹 is with lots of Americans and Canadians renters, therefore houses and living cost are getting higher every year.
Yes, I know this because I was there recently for my 4th time.. its getting really bad.. I don't recommend anyone live in Lisbon, Porto, or Algarve..
Thailand is looking good. Marijuana to be legalized too. Can't wait!
Lol 😂
@john wayne And I think you're still right! As far as I know they only reduce some of the sentences.
😆😆
Thailand changes the rules more times than folk change their underwear, so I wouldn't rely on that one.
Excelente video
Ecuador didn't make your list? Their Jubilado Visa (retiree visa) only requires $800 monthly income. Panamá and Ecuador are similar in some ways. Both are relatively close to the USA if you want to visit family or friends. Both use the US dollar as their national currency. Panama has more pronounced rainy and dry seasons. Ecuador has a slightly lower cost of living. These two countries, along with Mexico, are usually on the top of most retiree destination lists.
Cheap for good reason and dangerous
Ελλάδα for me
Panama was number 1
Suggest Sri Lanka
Is worth considering 👍
Ahh - was once upon a time, but almost a civil war there at the moment. Mass demonstrations against the government, poverty, lack of basic living requirements to buy in the shops, etc. Last place I'd go at the moment.
Let's hope you never went
You should mention Eastern Europe too. It's much cheaper than the countries you mention here.
Not to retire there!!! The weather is horse shit!!! Don't get me fking started on those trashy continental winters!
Nah, Greece would be a better alternative!
Maybe in the past but that's changing
@@GUITARTIME2024 Sorry mate, but continental climate = continental climate! That's not something that's going to change anytime soon. People from Western Europe still largely prefer to retire in Spain and Greece over Bulgaria (???) or Romania!
As a French lawyer who has done her Erasmus program in Greece, I'll plan to retire in Greece. Beautiful country, and easy paperwork for me. Plus, I already speak and write fluent Greek!^^
Wow, really? So nice to hear, well done. Τε ελληνικά πως τα έμαθες; And which parts of Greece would you retire in?
@uta gordon ...''raging fires along the coast almost any time of the year...'' not really -not along the (whole) coastline (actually only a on a very tiny percentage) and definitely not any time of the year (mostly on extremely long lasting hot temperatures during summer).
''Easy paperwork'' !! in Greece?? Woh that's new...
Same here, German lawyer. Greece is my first choice. Kriti. With my Filipina wife. Beaches in Greece are better than Asian beaches. No need f any visa. Great.
...and I can work there as I like..I speak 6 languages. ..
This is assuming everyone puts a beach high on ones list of priorities
What about the Philippines
Cambodia 100%. $290 per year Retirement visa with no issues.
Ed, nice comment, can you please offer cities and details?
@@chrisnipper8573 I am retired on a pension, I provide proof of income, I go to a travel agency and supply the proper paperwork and $295 and I about 7 days I have a 1 year multi-entry visa. Simple.
Cambodia very hot weather? Any cool places to live is by the coast better?
I loved holidaying in Cambodia. My expat fried used to get a perpetually renewed business visa
Having said that Phnom Penh has lost much of its charm, Sihanoukville has been trashed by Chinese developers Siem Reap has grown too quickly and health care is poor- my friend travels to BKK for any serious healthcare issues
I kind of like Kampot though….
@@bornfree8487 dead Kennedys sang that song holiday in Cambodia its a classic
You missed the best of all: Paraguay. You make a temporary deposit of about $5,000 to prove solvency, and can apply directly for permanent residency without the help of an agent or lawyer. The cost is around $300 per person. The country is rapidly developing, has increasingly good infrastructure and relatively low crime. Lots of natural beauty, some of the best fishing in the world and a rapidly developing tourist industry. Coupled to friendly and helpful people, it is a sure winner. We moved here nearly 4 years ago and have no regrets at all, except that we should have moved earlier.

@@kerryberry5786 so far it is still illegal, and government is working hard to destroy the plantations. I am pro-legalising all drugs, and the free distribution of all drugs by governments worldwide. It is the only way to root out drug trade and abuse, as all those with an inclination toward drug use can then rid society of their problem by overdosing.
From Canada where would you recommend
Paraguay is landlocked

Without money ?
Got my Plan B going on in Mexico but I'm still looking at Greece.
Where to you is a reasonable location in Mexico? I live in San Diego and have been to Mexico dozens of times over the years. I have yet to find a town I could settle down in if I chose to retire outside the US. Granted, I'm only 45 and not terribly motivated, lol. But I'm curious where you would live.
México is deadly, way too dangerous
@@robwithrbk Merida, but México is a powder Keg and way too dangerous
@@kippsguitar6539 not necessarily, it depends where you go.I know several people that have been living there, for a number of years and say they feel safe and in no more danger than in their country of origin.
@@robwithrbk Mazatlan is where I would go.
I'd prefer México or Ecuador, but I only receive less than less than $1,200 USD.

Malaysia has new MM2H requirements. I believe you need to transfer more money than what you mentioned.
Correct
Malaysias new MM2H requirements are mostly impossible to meet as normal person. Monthly income at 10.000 USd, Fixed deposit at 236.000 USd. Plus annual Visa fees and Immigration processing fees at 1300 USd. + You must stay in MY min 90 days. And valid only for 2 year.
@@chowd.a.d.8309
Why such a radical change in requirements?
Monthly income is RM10,000, or approx. $2,350 USD per month.
Check out the Sarawak mm2h visa.. Sarawak is part of Malaysia but it's in Borneo. I read it's more flexible than the mm2h
Turkey is also a great place to retire and thousands of British citizens live there. I am surprised that it is not on your list.
It's a religious nightmare.
@@NoTaboos actually it's secular
@@kippsguitar6539 Crap.
Panama is right.
Italy?
Chile is beautiful but expensive and public health is not the best ( putting it mildly)
The taxi drivers are scamming Aholes.
Greece is beautiful, cheap , has great weather & good food.
It aint that cheap.
Food prices are no different from London. And I would say more than Paris.
@@antejl7925 If you go to Mykonos or Santorini , maybe , if you go to other places ,no way. It isnt only food. Rent is much cheaper, bus tickets are cheaper, services are cheaper
@@mst3896 yes that's true but food isn't cheap. The best part of Greece is the north becuase no one goes there and you can drive to Bulgaria, Edirne Turkey or Gevgelija and stock up there. Greek products like metaxa, olive oil and olives are half price in Bulgaria. Turkey is very cheap for clothes.
Terrible winters
The healthinsurance for expats on Thailand is extremely expensive if you are over 65!
Where's Ecuador on the list?
Surprised Ecuador wasn’t on this list
I'm torn between Georgia, Turkey, Albania, and possibly Serbia.... :)
I would love to know wt hv u decided on & why?
Tnkx 🌹
Plz note i am looking into some of those countries 😀
Turkey es la mejor opción
@@Maverick0749 English 🤔
@@Maverick0749 yes. Turkey is the best option. Watching you tubers about Turkey last 2 years, never found bad previews. Also for permanent residency not required to be 6 months in one year as in Portugal
Καλλικράτεια, εγγύηση.....6:47
Well done ✅
Morocco is a great place too you can rent for 250 dollars and relatively safe and close to Europe.
How about Turkiye, its easy to get visa, the weather and food is good and its cheap due to low currency
It might be difficult to learn the language
WOW!
Can I retire without a source of income in any of these countries? What if I have around $500k in my bank?
Retirement visa is only one item for picking a country., they need to speak English. Thailand is a good choice. Panama is expensive.
I would chose Greece. Maybe Thailan, but not Panamá
Albania my favourite
You could always learn the language
Been to TH. English not great outside tourist situations. Malaysia better.
Malaysia is always left out. Food is cheap, medical system is one of the best, low crime…meaning no shootings like in the USA, accommodation is cheap. Many foreigners love it here. It’s like Singapore but cheaper.
Malaysia like Singapore? Are you joking? You are comparing first and third world country.Besides cost of living increased recently.
It's also one of the most boring countries on earth and it's muslim. With all that entails.
@@rafaljankowski2807 Malaysia is modern not third world, not so cheap anymore as you said

Is Cyprus a good option?
very expensive and isolated...
Yes the north...devalued turkish lira majes it cheap...is a bit dull in winter though.
I moved to Colombia about 12 years ago and love it. I'd live in poverty in the States, but live like a king here.
but they tax heavily foreign income and it may get worse with the new president
I moved to Santa Marta in 2018 and my rent was $900.00 less than Atlanta where I moved from.
@@sidkimuwallif4597 Good choice! I spent a weekend in Santa Marta a few years ago, wonderful city. Even gave some thought to moving there. I first moved to Cartagena as that is where my wife's family lives, but a few years later moved to Turbaco, a town just a little SW of Cartagena. To me, limited visit and all to Santa Marta, is it is very much like Cartagena but much cheaper. Wonderful people too! Yes, rent is cheaper, so is food, medicine and everything else.
@@rocambole93 That's sure not been my experience, in fact, I don't pay any taxes at all even though I do have to fill out all the forms each year. Maybe you are in a super rich crowd? Or someone is scamming you tax wise? Worth checking into. Mostly they want to make sure my income is legal and not tied to drugs, that's about it.

I was thinking Morocco would be good as easy to cross into Europe as well.
Morocco no separation of church and state!
Alentejo!!!.
Montevideo,Uruguay and Cuenca, Ecuador should be on the list
I'd love to retire in Uruguay, but it's pretty expense compared to most of Latin America.
Crime in Ecuador is on the rise unfortunately
First one boring second dangerous
I'd be interested to know the income tax rates in these countries on a foreign pension or income earned digitally
I know many have agreements in place with the U.S. that don't allow double taxation. You would still pay U.S. taxes on your monthly pension for example if you moved to Portugal, but whatever you transferred to a Portuguese bank account would not be taxed. At least that is my understanding.
@@TheYobo1016 I'm English :-). If tax domiciled in Portugal I think I would then pay Portuguese tax. I am thinking about Greece
Malayasia is very expensive.
I’ve been to Spain .. your money will go quick there
Thank you for the informative presentation. Very well put together. I am curious about Portugal though. You talk about "requirements" but do not mention what these are. You do mention the other countries' requirements though.
They should start doing the same thing in the U.S. You can come if you can support yourself. Must show you can afford to live here..
You know that won't happen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
With Biden as President??🤦♂️🤣🤣
Even Americans can't afford to live there.
Target market for this is American person
A very rich and lovely lady i cleaned for a while ago said to me in response to a question like this was " if you have to count the cost you can't afford to go." I didn't ask the question btw. It was on the daytime tv show on in her massive designer kitchen. Lol
