Why Are Americans Leaving the U.S.?

High Costs Are Stealing Your Retirement

Red no

The Unfortunate Reality

Inflation is skyrocketing, and your retirement savings won’t stretch as far as you planned. Many retirees are forced to downsize, delay retirement, or go back to work.

The Solution

Retiring abroad means spending 30-50% less while maintaining (or upgrading!) your lifestyle. Live in a beachfront condo for the price of a U.S. apartment.

The Never-Ending Rat Race

Red no

The Unfortunate Reality

In the U.S., you’re expected to keep grinding – even in retirement. Between rising costs and financial pressure, there’s no real way to slow down.

Green checkmark

The Solution

Many countries offer a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle with less financial stress – so you can enjoy life, not just survive it.

Poor Weather is Hurting Your Health & Happiness

Red no

The Unfortunate Reality

Harsh winters, extreme heat, and gloomy weather can negatively impact your mental and physical health – especially as you age.

Green checkmark

The Solution

Imagine warm, tropical weather year-round, gentle ocean breezes, and a climate that makes staying active and healthy easy as pie.

Taxes are Eating Your Savings

Red no

The Unfortunate Reality

American retirees face federal, state, and even local taxes on their income – even after years of hard work.

The Solution

Many expat-friendly countries don’t tax foreign income – meaning you keep more of your money for travel, family, and experiences.

U.S. Healthcare is Expensive

Red no

The Unfortunate Reality

The U.S. has outrageously expensive healthcare. Even Medicare, while affordable, often falls short – with limited coverage and long wait times.

Green checkmark

The Solution

In many countries, world-class healthcare is available for a fraction of U.S. costs – with shorter wait times and better service.

$ 0

An American retiree can expect to spend almost $160k on American healthcare expenses throughout retirement.

The United States now ranks 132nd in the Global Peace Index, due to rising crime, mass shootings, and declining city centers.

0 %

American retirees often report being able to live better abroad on up to 75% less than what they would spend in U.S. cities.

Why Retire Abroad?

More Safety

The U.S. now ranks 132nd on the Global Peace Index. Plenty of communities overseas offer the safety you deserve.

More Stability

Tired of the division and stress of American politics? Many expat-friendly countries offer political stability and a less tumultuous news cycle. 

Better Health

Toss the processed foods and live longer. Many countries offer fresh and locally grown food, cleaner air, and a less stressful life.

Enjoying retirement overseas

Lower Costs

U.S. cost of living is one of the world’s highest. Your retirement savings can go 2-4x further abroad. Imagine a beachfront condo for half the cost.

Lower Taxes

You’ve worked hard to earn your retirement: Don’t let the government steal it. Many nations exempt foreign income from taxes, so you can spend it how you please.

Better Weather

Weather is a choice: So say goodbye to harsh winters. But don’t just opt for Florida or Arizona. No matter your preferences, you can find the ideal climate abroad.

More Purpose

While the U.S. culture prioritizes work, other cultures prioritize joy, community, and balance. After working hard for decades, you may prefer the latter.

More Culture

Lacking a sense of adventure? Life abroad is rich with cultural experiences, traditions, and celebrations. Every day offers a sense of wonder you won’t find at home.
