    For retiring in European countries, how, if possible, do you mitigate the high tax rates?

          Strongly attracted to both Portugal and Italy. From a tax perspective which is better? I'm an artist that makes a minor amount of money from selling my art. I plan to do so in the place I finally retire to. I also will make money renting my properties in Charleston SC. Will the money I make be taxed in Portugal or Italy if I take residence there?

              Can you discuss what it's like as a single man (or woman) in these places?

                          Hello Gary,

                          Renting in Toulon is fairly easy and cheaper than other areas in the south of France. The expat life is a lot slower because it's still quite "under-the-radar." If you're fine with hanging out with mainly the French and a few small expat groups, you should be okay. Your French will improve very quickly in Toulon.

                                what countries have the best visa programs for younger retirees that don't have a fixed income (pension or social security) but instead can either make investments in a property or be able to show available assets such as savings or investment accounts?

                                      Am in Oaxaca, Mexico (1st stop around the world tour). One problem I am seeing in almost all the locations I will be investigating (Mazatlan & Merida, Mexico; Hua Hen, Thailand, also Vietnam and Bali, Indonesia); and Portugal and Spain) is finding realtors or others who will assist in finding short term rentals (2-3 months as average visitor visa length).

                                        As a single woman, I am looking for safe locations to move to that will stretch my dollars. I am looking for strong expat communities for singles, if possible. I prefer to rent, as this will be my first time living outside of the US. Willing to go car-free. Also concerned about Panama.

                                        Thank you for the information shared! Never would have considered Nicaragua! In addition, I meant that I would love to meet and have friends that are local, not exclusively just the expat community, once I got myself settled and comfortable. 😉

                                          Bel, 1) How do you deal with the threat of hurricanes where you live, and with global warming, is this becoming a greater concern? Also, why do you prefer where you are to a place like Puerto Vallarta? Thank you!
