The World’s Most Powerful Tool for Choosing Your Just-Right Spot Overseas

Yes, there is luxury in choice—but there can be stress in it, too. Now, that may seem like a rich man’s problem, I know, but when it comes to choosing a place to retire, you don’t need to be wealthy to feel it.

Whether you’re attracted to deserted beaches or walkable cities; lakeside retreats or historic market towns; colorful fishing villages or unspoiled Caribbean islands, the list of places where you can live better for less, have fun, and feel secure in your retirement is simply vast.

And, every month, we make your choice even tougher by bringing you even more places and opportunities as our writers hit the road to find new locations to consider (yes, even in a year of restricted travel).

We know that it can be hard to know where to focus. That’s why, every January, we rank and rate the very best locations worldwide in one easy-to-view resource. We created our Annual Global Retirement Index to help you navigate those choices. It ranks the best destinations for retiring overseas today. And while statistics shape its backbone, it’s informed as much by on-the-ground intelligence brought to us by our trusted sources on-location.

The Index is designed to help you compare and contrast what we believe are your best options for retirement abroad in 2021, and make your choice easier. But don’t feel you’re alone. Every year, thousands of people just like you seek and find a vastly more rewarding life overseas. We bring you lots of their stories this month. From a California couple immersing themselves in Portuguese beach life to a pair of Texans who now make a living exploring the underwater reefs of a Caribbean island paradise, their stories are always an inspiration.

This month’s cover story—an introduction to our Annual Global Retirement Index—puts you on the path to a retirement where you have not fewer choices for how you’ll live…but many, many more.

Sure, there’s a lot of choice. But now you have the tools to sort through your options, that’s part of the adventure…
