Retiring in another country is not for everyone, especially if you’re concerned with mobility, homesickness, or ongoing health issues. However, if you’re one of the courageous souls in search of a retirement plan that will keep you active, healthy, and more engaged as you age, moving abroad ticks all the boxes.

Rent, utilities, eating out, exploring…a couple can live well in Vietnam for $1,000 a month or less.

In Vietnam, services is full and always available. Internet with unlimited data costs $14 a month, electricity around $35 a month, a call on a cell phone is less than a cent a minute. You’ll pay 90 cents for a beer, $2 an hour for a maid, get a movie ticket for $4 and buy a kilo of rice for 75 cents
