Before deciding to spend your golden years overseas--and definitely before buying property--call the U.S. Embassy in that country and have a talk with an officer from the American Citizens Services section. They'll be able to tell you whether Americans have had trouble buying property and can even give you a list of local lawyers who may be able to assist you.

In fact, travel to some of these locales will lead to a shorter trip for family and friends than flying cross-country. It's one more possibility, at least!

Obviously, the ideal scenario would've been to have started saving much, much earlier but ..... I didn't do that.

For me, my younger kids' education may be a big bill, though it's some way off. I am redoubling my efforts to try to ensure that the children's grades are good enough for scholarships and the like. (For the elder girls, I did not focus like this and this year would be the final year of paying through my nose, so to speak....hehe) This is a great overview.
