>She house sat for a family member to get her finances back in order, but she found it difficult to afford a rental apartment on the $58,000 a year she gets in disability and Social Security payments.

It's not for everyone, but that's more than enough to retire in much of the world. You can get a very nice apartment in much of Seoul for around 700$.

Food and healthcare is going to be better too.

A friend is just selling a two bedroom apartment for 15k€ furnished.

Small town, sure, but the apartment is in a good shape and the city is nice by Nordic standards.

The EU doesn't make getting a long term residency easy, but holy crap.

That might be an option for anyone who wants to retire early. Assuming you can sort out a visa, from my understanding the Nordic countries are extremely easy for English speakers. Thank you!
