Considering move from Chicago to LT

16 years ago
I've been married for 3 years to a wonderful Lithuanian woman. We're talking about retiring to Lithuania in a few years but I'd like to get some feedback from any expats who have actually done it.

My wife grew up near Kaunas but then moved to Klaipida after university. From her descriptions though, we'd probably settle in Vilnus.

I only speak a few words of Lithuanian and find it a difficult language to learn. I speak a little German though and would definitly take classes to learn the language.

How much less is the cost of living in Vilnus compared to the US? Currently living in downtown Chicago, is there enough to do in Vilnus socially/culturally?

Thanks for any input!
