"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Bermuda is the high cost of living. Bermuda is an expensive place to live, and the cost of housing, food, and other necessities can be prohibitively expensive for retirees on a fixed income. Additionally, Bermuda has a high tax rate, which can make it difficult for retirees to make ends meet. Furthermore, Bermuda is a small island with limited resources, so it can be difficult to find the services and amenities that retirees may need. Finally, Bermuda is a long way from most other countries, so it can be difficult to stay connected with family and friends who are far away," said another expat in Bermuda.
