        One of my basic concerns would be availability and cost of health insurance for me 73 and my wife 70 years old.
        Also the offers of a 2 bedroom & 2 bathroom apartment , house or similar.
        Where to find B&B at reasonable prices to rent while scouting the areas. Car rentals too.

          Hello! We are considering retiring to either France, Mexico, Panama or Portugal. Visas can be somewhat tricky. Do you recommend an immigration attorney to assist us with this process? If so, would that be an attorney in the U.S. or in the country we are considering? And how do we get a list of knowledgeable and reputable attornies? Also, I read that it is advisable to get an attorney to review home or apartment rental contracts since laws vary in these countries. How would we get a good attorney for this process as well? Thank you!

            Hello! We are considering retiring to either France, Mexico, Panama or Portugal. Visas can be tricky. Do you recommend consulting an immigration attorney first? And would they be attornies in the U.S. or the country we are interested in? And how do we find these attornies? A similar question relates to renting a home or apartment. I read that it is a good idea to have a local attorney review the contract since countries have very different laws related to this process. Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.

                  What about moving? I mean physically. Do you recommend shipping all your furniture, appliances, books, cd's, etc. Or should you just dump all that and start from scratch?
                  What type of electricity is available in these 5 places?
                  Is online shopping easy and reasonable abroad? During covid I got used to using Amazon a lot. I know Walmart and other common US stores have an international presence, Can I shop online with them? What about HSN and QVC?

                              please advise how much of the native language you need for each location or can you get by with just Englis and a transilator app

                                I am a musician and I'm wondering what is the best way to research the community music scene in various places overseas.

                                    I know that Italy isn’t one of the countries being discussed today, but it was just on the news that there were certain towns there that are selling houses for a dollar. Do you have any information/knowledge about this?

                                        Is Ireland affordable on a fixed income of about 90,000 (for a couple)? 68,000 if I go alone.

                                        Are you talking Euro or US Dollar? Really, it doesn't matter. I would say, yes, that's plenty to live on in Ireland. I'm in Ireland right now -- and am tracking down some Americans living here who can give us some firsthand insights. Watch your magazine.
