Hi Forum,
I have posted in specific country forums, trying to sort through finances, situations and what best suits my individual scenario. So, 1st thing... The About Me.
I am 55 y.o, live in the Northeast of U.S.A. Winters are really starting to take their toll on me. So I see a warmer climate calling me... return to see some snow and leave LOL.
My Work: I have a great job (Education / State of Massachusetts). Great paying job.... But of late I'm starting to feel that the stress is outweighing the pay.
If I was to walk out the door (Work) right now... I am eligible for a retirement. So here's my Scenario
State Retirement - $1,500.00 monthly.
Sale of Residence - $300,000 - $400,000.
My personal IRA (don't see that being touched yet).
Savings / Checking / Investments - varied due to paying bills, Misc & performance.
So, My question comes down to this.
If the above scenario was you. Where would you choose & why?
Thank You
Alan

You would probably qualify for residency in Eastern Europe, Portugal, Spain and maybe France. You can buy a house in Spain for €500,000 or in Portugal for as low as €280,000 and get a golden visa. I think Ireland, UK, and northern Europe may be out of reach. Hope this helps.
