In the right places, a budget of as little as $24,000 a year can bankroll a good life for a couple (and singles can shave as much as a third off that budget)... That's an amount that would have you pinching pennies at home. But in the right spots abroad, that's plenty to bankroll a genuinely comfortable lifestyle. And these safe, friendly, warm-weather, affordable options are scattered all over the planet—from Europe to Latin America to Southeast Asia. The bad news is that all this choice can be paralyzing. It's like going into a restaurant with a ten-page menu—it's hard to know what to choose. And that's exactly why we put our 2023 Global Retirement Index together—to help you bring order to your options. It's the best resource there is to help you home in on the spots that would make the most sense for you.

It was like a dream come true." That's what Judy , a retiree happily settled in the country that grabs the # 1 spot in our 2023 Global Retirement Index, says about her new home. A native Californian, she recalls a time when regular folks could afford to live within easy reach of the beach and enjoy it as part of their day-to-day lives. But no more. "I couldn't afford a view in Southern California… not even for the weekend," she says. So she and her husband left—and upgraded their lifestyle in the process. "Now, here I am in [the # 1 retirement haven for 2023], looking out my bedroom window, and I see miles of shoreline, and mountains, too. This is gold to us…we struck gold." A Six-Figure Life on a Retired Teacher's Budget You could, too. And the best part is, you won't need millions in the bank to do it. In this good-value escape, which takes the top spot, you could live a lifestyle that would easily cost you six figures at home...only do it comfortably on a retired teacher's budget . The country I'm talking about—International Living's #1 retirement haven for 2023—has broad appeal.

Or you might choose, instead, a spot tucked into a lush green valley along a stream. Then again, maybe you'd prefer a fast-paced, eclectic city with all the cosmopolitan offerings of a thriving urban center—jazz festivals, great ethnic restaurants, museums. Your options are varied—which is one reason we like this country so much. And whatever might appeal to you, rest assured: It's a place where your dollars will stretch. "Our Stress Level Is 10% of What It Used to Be" "We live a life we couldn't have had back home," says Connie, who has happily settled in our #1 pick with her husband. "If we were in the U.S., we'd both be working, at least part-time, and constantly worrying." Instead, they report, "Our stress level is 10% of what it used to be." In part that's because the cost of living is remarkably low. "For trash collection we used to pay $17 a month...here we pay $14 a year...our rent is about half what our house payment was in the U.S....a cleaning woman charges about $15 for a day's work... In this safe, welcoming, good-value escape, a couple can live very comfortably—even lavishly—on between $1,765 and $2,890 a month, depending on where you're based.
