Having been a corporate expat for a decade, then a digital nomad for 5 years and now retired at age 63, I’ve been to 40 countries, exploring where to settle down next. After finding the same issues you mentioned, I decided to rent a small apartment in the US year-round and travel 4-6 months a year. I have no investments or retirement funds, live on $2500/mo. (Social Security, pension) and own a small business that pays for my travel. What makes this possible is my frugal lifestyle and keeping expenses low.
We decided slowmad or flexpat works for us. We sold our home and just rent in a less expensive area. We like to touch base after 2-3 months on the road.
