When planning out retirement, there is the matter of saving up enough money to keep enjoying the lifestyle to which you’ve become accustomed. For some though, moving to a new locale, can not only give them the opportunity to do activities that they couldn’t in their previous abode, but also make those hard-earned savings go a bit further. Some choose to go abroad while others stay stateside.

However, choosing the right location is not always easy. There are not only the monetary factors but the quality of life that one will enjoy in their new place of residence as well as being sure that their health care needs are properly met.
