In the U.S. retirees with proper Medigap supplement such as Part G or Part N pay zero after their Part B deductible ($240). If the monthly premiums too high, get a high deductible Part G, and then 2,700 for the year then full coverage. Doesn't Spain tax foreigners on their pensions and social security? And the laws did change regarding taxes and can change at any time. Just visit and make sure you leave before 180 days each year.
I have lived in Colombia, Argentina and Peru, without a doubt I choose Peru to live!!!, magical places, first class food and lovely women! The costs are medium low, I lived for years in "Jesús María" a cozy district in Lima.
What a pile of disinformation. First of all the Parisians arrondissements you painted as nice and pleasant, the central arrondissements are those with the highest crime in Paris, more than Gare du Nord. Violence in Paris is at the same level as in Seine Saint Denis, all the other suburbs have lower crime Source :the French police website. But yeah crime is overall low so there is no place in Paris which is dangerous per se not even at night. But yeah anecdotes happen like everywhere. Oh? And the crack addicts stay by themselves and don't attack people. Bad sensationalist reporting.
Please stop coming to Costa Rica to live. You people are pricing out locals when it comes to buying home and even renting. Making life for locals very difficult because our wages can’t keep up with the foreign money. Soon we will have to do like Barcelona Spain and make it very uncomfortable for tourists to live and create rules like rent control and no airbnbs and things like that.
Peru is actually okay to live in for an American expat. 1. Utility cost are low, my electric bill is $15 per month, water about $8, and internet is only $22. Property taxes on my apartment are less than $100 annually. 2. Food costs a bit less versus the USA in the grocery stores, and is far less if you shop in the huge public markets. 3. You don't need a car if you live in Lima. Bus service is excellent, taxis are dirt-cheap, and there's a new, modern subway system in some areas. Intercity bus service is excellent for the long tourist trips you may wish to take to the Amazon, Cusco, and Arequipa. 4. Restaurants are very good, including more than 1,000 Chinese places, all first-class and dirt-cheap. 5. Immigration process is relatively simple and inexpensive. 6. Real estate prices vary widely, you'll pay more in cleaner, safer middle-and upper-class areas, but they're far more pleasant and safer to live in than the many poor- and working-class parts of town. Overall, substantially less expensive than in the USA. 7. The women who possess substantial beauty here are some of the prettiest you'll ever encounter, and the ladies here know how to cook, unlike their counterparts in the USA My only downside with Peru is that I have been chronically targeted, stalked, harassed and threatened here by some sort of a local criminal organization since 2015. I've been told I would never leave Peru alive, that they were going to sabotage my luggage with drugs (magic powder) at the Lima airport (while I was waiting to fly to the US to see my dying mother one last time, these drug dealers are sick, sociopathic scum.) Your experience here will hopefully better than mine, and about the best advice I can offer to those who wish to escape the USA before its final collapse into utter chaos is this 1. If you´re thinking of immigrating here to Peru, come visit with a group of friends and stay for at least a month, renting a stay in a home on Airbnb or similar. 2. Rent in one of the nicer areas of Lima, and preferably from an owner who is a USA expat and/or speaks perfect English. 3. Daily, immerse yourself in local culture (always travel together in a group for added safety). Keep a journal of your daily experiences, both good and bad. Compare notes with those of your friends. After your month-long immersion stay, honestly ask yourself if you can not only function in, but also actually enjoy living in Peruvian society - or not. If you can say ´yes,´ then that´s wonderful! Head back home start packing and prepare for a new life in South America! However, even if your answer is ´no,´ then at least you had a nice extended stay vacation-adventure, and most likely learned a few things about not only Peru, but also yourself.
I’ve been to every country in Latin America. Personally, I wouldn’t have Chile on this type of list. It’s too expensive. Brasil is better in my opinion. This is coming from someone who speaks Spanish and very little Portuguese. Spent a year in Brasil and a few months in Chile. Much preferred Brasil.
As pointed out by many here already your information on taxes and US retirees in France is totally false. As for crime if you are coming from the US you will be MUCH safer in France. With a murder rate of 1.35 per 100,000 people France has 400% fewer murders per 100,000 than the US, at 5.35 per 100000. All areas of crime, burglary, rape, are much higher in US. From example rape is 19% less than in the US. Don’t make videos on topics you know nothing about.
Olá, bom vídeo de Floripa, eu moro em Cuiabá, MT aqui fica em 7° capital melhor pra viver, Floripa em 4°, também é a 3° em segurança, atrás só da capital federal e Floripa, só que é bem quente e pequena tem 1 milhão de pessoas na região metropolitana inteira com as cidades do entorno, na cidade 640 mil, saindo da cidade tem parque nacional, termais, resort, nobres, primavera do leste, com cavernas, lagoas azuis Pantanal...eu queria te falar isso porquê o único turismo que tem aqui é no Pantanal direto o aeroporto é internacional, a cidade histórica, todos esses locais natureza perfeita é muito pouco explorado e aposto que o governador tá louco pra aumentar turismo aqui. Eu citei só perto da capital mas o estado inteiro é enorme e tem várias coisas como canyons com água azul cipó e jatobá.
Fun Fact if you remove the 5 worst (Democrat run) cities with the worst homicide rates in the USA the USA drops to one of the 5 lowest homicide rates …. In the world. Just stay out of Chicago, New Orleans, St Louis, Baltimore and I think Oakland or DC, the USA homicide drops Dramatically as this 5 cities (or just the worst areas of those cities) account for well over 90% of all homicides. Anyway every country or has good and bad areas and if you avoid the bad areas and the “4 rules of stupidity” you should be fine. Of course it may cost you a lot more to live in those areas
By the way, the “4 rules of stupid” are: Don’t do stupid things, in stupid areas, at stupid times of the day (night) while being around stupid people. Carry on
Colombia gets a pretty bad rap but, I've lived in a relatively small town in Colombia for nearly 18 years and not only is it waaaayy less expensive than anywhere in the US, I've never felt threatened. High standard of living and very good health care system at a very low cost but, salaries are very, very low so, you must have an external source of income. The added bonus is, Colombia is super beautiful and the people are friendly and helpful, especially in the countryside and small towns.
Those countries are all in southern Europe, with very high average temperatures. In those times of climate change, is that a good idea to settle in those countries?
Not everyone wants to move there and buy a house. Some (like us) would be interested in living there for a few months, spending our money to enrich the local economy, and renting a nice apartment. But..... most of the time videos like this just are not interested in pitching to visitors like us. If we aren't planning on moving there forever and buying a home these videos just aren't interested in us. Its a pity really because I think that there are far more possible mid term visitors like us than there are ones that want to move there and buy a home. I think you are completely missing the major source of income.
The smartest thing anybody could do is rent before buying in a place one knows nothing about. Italy's drying climate is reaching a crisis point now with a loss of 77% of rainfall and snow melt on the main land and zero water in the Agrigento area in Sicily that this video is marketing real estate to foreigners about.
The French keep their childhood friends throughout their lives but do not look to the workplace to make new ones. Their attitude is that those friendships go south when they leave their employment, so why bother? A problem arises when they leave their homes to work in Paris & they maintain that belief. Loneliness causes some French to spiral into deep depression; a dirty secret of Paris is the relatively large number of lonely people hanging themselves in their cramped little apartments.
What country would be good for an older guy that’s in good shape and doesn’t look his age that would be looking maybe to me younger woman that wants to have a family to embrace the good things about being a woman and acting like a woman and appreciate what is about the traditional sense andwhat countries would be good for somebody that’s a Christian and takes it seriously not an overly stated way, but in a genuine way just thinking about questions that I’m asking and what’s important to me so if anybody knows a good answer or has any advice or thoughts would be great appreciate it
I just wanna say thank you for doing this video and it really would be great if you could do even more I’m seriously thinking about leaving United States or at least coming to another country and maybe becoming a permanent resident or at least living there part of the year every year, I am a semi retired military veteran with Seven net income month after taxes. And I’m thinking about maybe starting over meeting the younger and getting married again and it’s a place that women that truly embrace being women and do it with pride in America, too much bad has been taught too many lies have poison so many minds in this country. I don’t doubt that we will fix it but at the same time I wanted to try something different so this video really help me out. You seem like a really awesome person and I wish you well. May the Lord bless you and everything you do as well as your family and please keep making these videos you sound like you probably be a pretty cool person to meet and I like your video a lot thanks a lot.
I think that the ranking and information that they about some Latin countries like Nicaragua is wrong. The country of Nicaragua is the safest country in the Central American region, and I am saying this because I visited this country in this year and I did not have any problems and I was out late night
better or best option for a retired person is to go to live to mar del plata mendoza or cordoba . in mdp you can buy an apartment in down town 2 bed rooms about 50m2 for $60.000 to $90.000 dollars that is in 2024 .
It seems that in the end of the videos you conflate theft with robberies. There's indeed a lot of petty theft in Palermo, but AFAIK, robberies are not as prevalent, thankfully.
If you plan to move to any country, you need to learn the local language. Unfortunately, there's no substitute. Otherwise, you'll have trouble making friends regardless of the country. If you move to France to retire, chances are you are old, which means that you'll also be seeking to befriend retired French people. However, people tend to be pickier with their friends as they get older so it doesn't help! It's always easier to make friends when you're young. I don't think I'd ever consider moving to a new country JUST to retire. If I've lived in a given country, where I have roots, family and friends, might as well stay there till the end. However, I could definitely retire in a country that isn't mine if I've already done the work of building my life there. That's exactly my situtation. I'm an American working and living in France with my French wife and my kids who have dual citizenship. Whenever we retire, we'll most certainly stick around. If you really want to live abroad, I'd recommend to not wait until retirement. Everything will be easier if you do it before. As the saying goes: you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Commentaire le plus sensé que j'ai lu. Ici le problème n'est pas la France et tout ce qu'on peut lui reprocher, c'est bien de changer radicalement de vie, et ce, quelle que soit la destination. Et aussi, je ne comprends pas comment on peut baser sa transition sur le fait que tel ou tel pays soit familier avec la langue anglaise. C'est une erreur majeure. Est-ce que si j'allais hypothétiquement m'installer au Texas, je serais outré que les locaux ne parlent pas français ? Est-ce que je leur reprocherais que tout soit compliqué à mes yeux ? Non car j'aurais choisi d'aller m'y installer.
This headline is a lie people. Americans always have to pay taxes on their income worldwide. US citizens are never free from the IRS and always have to file taxes yearly regardless of where they live. The freest country in the world? Not really.
No, you leave your own country as migrant and come to someone else's country and you're an immigrant there! "Expat" is a word coceived by white immigrants so they can feel better and above migrants from, let's say Africa, India and so on. It's as simple as that@@sxgaston
I think you need to confirm the tax statements. As I understand it, American retirees only pay the US and nothing to France because of the tax treaty between the two countries. You do have to show you paid your home country. I never heard the tax being 40% unless the person is working or runs a business in France. Per quick Google search: Under Article 18 of the U.S./French Income Tax Treaty, distributions from U.S. retirement accounts made to a French resident are only taxable in the U.S. Notably, Roth IRAs are considered U.S. retirement accounts and specifically covered by the treaty, preserving their tax-free nature in France.
Nope. U can get a decent 2BR/1BA apartment in Green Bay for $800/month. It is THE safest city in the US. No crime, no traffic, no cost for private schools (there aren't any, as they aren't needed). LOTS of jobs that pay really well, considering the cost of living. VERY green LOTS of parks. Nice weather. great location, NO natural disasters and PLENTY of water. 3BR/2BA apartments $1300/1400/month.
American pensions received by retirees in France, including Social Security, 401K and IRA plans, will be taxable in the United States under the France/United States double tax treaty. In France, your pension will not be taxed; however, you must still declare your US pension income on your annual French tax return.
@@p.ccarbec6261 actually, retirees do pay social charges on the income they declare, they just won’t pay income tax. They also contribute to the economy with their spending and will also be subject to VAT.
I've returned after 14 years in france. It was better when i was working, but you're never really welcome. I speak french like a native, but felt isolated. There are many unacceptable attitudes.
I never regretted to retire in France. I am fluent in French. People never thought that I was from North America. Their cuisine is the best in the world and varies according to the region.
