I have read all kinds of things about babyboomers going to Thailand where they live very well on 1k a month. They require a 25k deposit in a Thai bank, and at least 2000 a month income. Americans cannot buy land, but they can buy condos. Some people spend as little as 300 a month on nice apartments or condos, have great restaurants and inexpensive quality health care. Folks with very small retirement incomes are living very comfortable. I have never been to Thailand but the beaches are supposed to be great, and the reports from the retirees is that for 1k a month a person can live in paradise.
