OK, so you’ve finally, finally retired, right? You’re not going back. This is it. Down tools. So what’s next? Staying at home and enjoying the relaxation is certainly an excellent idea. But do you think you might get ever so-slightly bored? What, then, the next option? Travel is always a good choice, but it can be soooo expensive, especially when the vendors smell the word “seniors” as of we’re ripe for the picking. We’re not dumb. We didn’t save all of the money for all of those years just to have it gulped down by cheeky “sales teams.” No chance.
We saw something on You tube that could be the magic silver bullet for many of us. A rebirth, as it were. The video above caught our interest for several reasons. First, it hints the suggestion of moving away to simpler and much less expensive locales. The video below caught our interest for several reasons.
First, it hints the suggestion of moving away to simpler and much less expensive locales. There are many, but Italy and Spain usually sit at the top. Secondly, if you can’t sit still and need something to keep you busy, the ideas proposed in the video allow you to do just that. You could, for example, buy a place and renovate.
Or, you could help others to do the same. Furthermore, in this video, residents chip in to form a cooperative. One hand washes the other. And finally, if you have no intent on lifting a paintbrush, you can just “be there” One teaser is that if you stay (this is Europe still) over time you might be able to apply for a golden visa. A Golden Visa is a residency or citizenship program offered by some countries to wealthy foreign investors. (read more here.)
If the Golden Visa is out of your league, you can still rent properties. You will need to consider healthcare, but there are in-country or third party options. So, all you need to do to stay in Europe longer than 3 months is spend 90 days in the Schengen Area and then visit the UK, go to, say, the Balkans and repeat.
