All the eight names I will tell you have been handpicked after reviewing and talking to locals
about their affordability and quality of life.
I am talking about everything you need
for less than the cost of rent in the US!
So, why settle for expensive, violent cities when these affordable gems are so much better?
Ready?
Because your ideal retirement could be waiting in one of these 8 amazing cities,
and the next twenty minutes might be life-changing,
So the first name is
Águilas, in Spain – and by the way, the list will be in alphabetical order,
except for the last name, which I’ve saved as a surprise.
So , ever heard Águilas? If not, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
This charming coastal town, located in southeastern Spain’s often-overlooked autonomous community of Murcia, combines the tranquility of a small community with the beauty of the Mediterranean. With a population of around 35,000, it offers an intimate yet lively atmosphere that many expats and retirees find irresistible.
Now, let’s talk about what makes Águilas practical for retirees.
Affordability with quality of life!
Housing is affordable, and the low cost of living means you can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without stretching your budget.

Sorry but Spain is unaffordable for USA retirees — Social Security and Roth IRA are taxed at high rates!
Hi – yes, there r lots of countries to consider … BUT .. some of the retirement visa requirements and migration process can be costly, and stressful. ty for the videos. 👌💯💚💛
This sounds really interesting! I’m curious about what makes these cities so underrated compared to more popular European retirement destinations. Are the cost of living, healthcare, and local amenities more favorable in these places? Also, how easy is it for Americans to navigate residency requirements or language barriers in these countries? More details would really help me figure out if any of these locations might be a good fit for my retirement plans.
As there are a non-trivial amount of disabled folks among the retiree cohort, which of these cities is most friendly to folks in wheelchairs? Not just getting around, but also in living accommodations (go ahead; try to do usual household stuff with just one or no legs- you'll get why this matters)?
I recently lost my job at the age of 45. In addition to having access to Tricare and VA healthcare, I also receive a 9K military pension. I'm thinking of selling or renting my house and moving overseas with my cash, assets, and 401(k). What are some good passive income opportunities?
Braga, Portugal has been on my list to investigate for a while. I'm also interested in places like other medium-sized Portuguese cities like Coimbra.
US citizens living on retirement income have a better tax situation in France, due to the favorable bilateral tax treaty.
I'm so tired of being stuck in one place. I wish I could travel more, but it's just so expensive
I live in France for the last 18 years. The next 3-6 years the EU will be forced to buy the debts of France and begin QE, meaning interest rates back to zero. The future of Europe is just as bad as the USA. The only difference is the cost of health care which is better than anything in the states.
