More Info

Good for retiring abroad only

Can't add much to the previous reviews, but be very clear that this book is primarily aimed at people who want to retire OUTSIDE the U.S. It also seems to assume that everyone has lots of money laying around (or own and can sell a home)and they can put that money into CD's and live off the interest. Not all bad, but seems to focus on the few areas of the world that they're most familiar with (France, Portugal, Mexico)

The Well Traveled Book...

Wow! The cover of this book is tattered from all the passing around. It has gone from one family member to the next. Those of us who were not patient enough to wait our turn have purchased it. Three copies in all are circulating. I found it inspiring because she speaks to the adventurer inside of me, not my fear. Her approach is gentle, liberating, and comprehensible. She spells out the complex issues. The chapters cover the all important steps and questions about going abroad for an extended stay and whether or not it's right for you.
