Book Synopsis

The definitive guide for anyone dreaming of living in paradise when they retire.

Whether motivated by a desire for adventure, or the need to make the most of a diminished nest egg, more and more Americans are considering an overseas retirement. Drawing on her more than three decades of experience helping people relocate happily and successfully, Kathleen Peddicord shows how living in an unconventional retirement destination can cost less than a traditional home in Florida or Arizona. Peddicord addresses all of the essential issues, including:

- Finding a home to own or rent
- Researching and understanding your tax liability
- Obtaining health insurance and medical care
- Avoiding common mistakes and pitfalls
- Opening a bank account

Whether readers are interested in relatively unknown havens like Nicaragua, well-traveled areas in Italy, or need some help deciding, How to Retire Overseas is the ultimate guide to making retirement dreams come true.
