Ideal Retirement Location?

[derspiess]

I'll retire to my humble estancia in Buenos Aires, to be among my people.

Your in-laws doing ok down there? I ask because it seems like the Argie economy is going into the shitter.

Yeah everyone on my Twitter's panicking about emerging markets and Argentina (again) seems worst

NYC or LA, I guess.  Probably LA.

They're used to it.  Some are probably positioned to benefit, long term.

But seriously, I'd love to go back to Spain.  I'd really like to have one trip going south into Andalusia and Murcia, and another going north into Pais Vasco, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia.  (Assuming I fly into Madrid.)

You're independently wealthy, relatively free of social attachments or able to determine where you go.  This is probably the place you're going to spend most of your life.

I would probably go Antalya, or a smaller place on the south-east Aegean coast, including Rhodes.

I have some thoughts on retirement, but they all revolve around being on a fixed government pension and having social attachments through my kids.  Under those circumstances I'm somewhat conflicted.  Current thoughts are to maintain a permanent residence in Edmonton, but have a place in Europe, probably Italy, that we spend several months per year.


Under the circumstances you outlined... that's easy.  I build a fabulous wilderness retreat in Yukon.  If it's retirement, probably stick to some place within an hour or two of Whitehorse so you maintain access to a first class hospital.

Somewhere mild but rainy, where I can be calm and do some thinking... I've never been, but I'd be willing to give Atlantic/Biscayan Spain a try, maybe Asturias?   Or Galicia, of course, not to snub Larch.    And I actually have a long-lost friend originally from A Coruña who might give me advice.

I'd take you out for some drinks and local food, in order to repay the Philly cheesesteaks.

You can take me to that tapas stand that has a whole bunch of plaques commemorating fallen members of the Guardia Civil and with walls covered in badges of different departments across Spain... oh wait. 

Cop shrines ain't our thing.

[Grey Fox]

I don't know. I'm thinking somewhere with no humidity.

So, Arizona?

[PDH]

Big Sur

[MadImmortalMan]

Chile. I'm thinking the mountain lakes north of Puerto Montt.

[Liep]

Preferably far away from the cold, but also from too much heat. Perhaps a nice wooden house in the fjords of Norway during the summer, and a beach house on a caribbean island during winter.

We don't get much news here on Argentina, but one telegram showed up today: "Governor fires 340 employees via YouTube".

[The Brain]

Dunno. Maybe England. Italy is nice but I just can't trust that amount of grease.

[Zanza]

Some kind of big city, maybe New York or Berlin or Singapore or so.
