About Retirement Without Borders: How To Retire
Product Description Barry Golson knows all about retiring abroad -- he and his wife, Thia, have lived in six different countries. Now they choose expatriate-friendly locales around the world for their low cost and their high quality of living and explain how to investigate and settle in each country with minimum hassle and maximum pleasure. Taking you step-by-step through the process of researching, testing, and finally living abroad, the Golsons' practical how-to guide covers all the major issues, including health care, finances, real estate, taxes, and immigration. Each location is profiled by an expatriate writer who has made that country his or her home and who knows how to answer all the questions about living richly and economically in some of the world's most beautiful places. From Booklist Golson and his wife, experienced part-time and full-time expatriates, provide a fascinating road map for retirement planning outside the U.S. This book targets the 76 million baby boomers reaching age 65 in 2010 who may be intrigued by the idea of seeking another culture for retirement that offers many possibilities for new interests and friendships. The authors provide in-depth evaluation of 10 countries (plus brief information on others) emphasizing both positive and negative aspects of living there plus commentary by Americans who reside in each country. Finances are a major issue, and there are opportunities for those with modest budgets as well as larger incomes. Missing family and friends in the U.S. is the major downside to living abroad, but the benefits include a sense of adventure, lower cost of living in some instances, climate, and greater freedom. An excellent, valuable resource for library patrons who are seriously considering offshore retirement as well as those who may be dreaming about it. --Mary Whaley Review "Retirement Without Borders is for smart people who not only want to think outside the box but live outside the box as well. Golson doesn't just give you a road map, he gives you the compelling reasons, as well as the pitfalls and pleasures, of why the low-cost, high-quality expatriate life is one of the last great -- and rewarding -- boomer adventures." -- Peter Greenberg, travel editor of NBC's Today "Retirement Without Borders is absolutely positively the best book that I have read on why, where, and how to retire abroad." -- Ernie J. Zelinski, author of How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free "This is a must-read for anyone considering retiring abroad or living outside the U.S. for an extended period. It cuts through the myths and provides balanced and hardheaded advice on every aspect of living in a different culture." -- Peter Francese, founder of American Demographics magazine "The book takes us beyond the essentials, with expats writing about their experiences, both good and bad. An engaging and personal read, Retirement Without Borders leaves us wise and eager to try new places where we may want to spend the rest of our lives." -- Bernice Bratter and Helen Dennis, authors of Project Renewment "Perfectly timed for boomers facing fundamental questions about costs of living and quality of life." -- Andrew P. Garvin, CEO of PreRetirementinfo.com "An excellent, valuable resource for [those] who are seriously considering offshore retirement as well as those who may be dreaming about it." -- Booklist "The single best guide we've seen to retiring abroad." -- The Wall Street Journal About the Author Barry Golson tried to retire, but put it on hold to launch a travel website for Forbes.com.
