I'm working on a plan to achieve this in the next 10 years. Call it early part-time retirement. I don't have kids, so that makes it easier.
I've decided that it's crucial to have a solid plan. Currently working on a criteria to help determine my perfect destination. Factors will include cost of living, climate, health care, economic and political stability, language, property costs, safety. There is no place that will meet all my desires, so my criteria should help me decide on the best possible location.
Also need to figure out how to save enough money to survive, and have enough squirrelled away to move back to Canada and get re-started, if I choose to do so in the future. Don't want to get stuck in a struggling economy.
There's so much to figure out, but I've got time because it's going to take a while to save up a nest-egg. I just turned 32 and realized I have no long-term goals. Nothing inspires me to make money these days. I've become comfortable and unmotivated. Hopefully this is a project that can keep me occupied and motivated for the next few years. Then, relax.
- Nice. What criteria regarding language? That the majority speak your native tongue?CanHasQBN
- I'd prefer English, Spanish or French. Just easier for me to learn at this point. Not a deal-breaker.********
