I don’t think it is easy, I think y’all are not sufficiently motivated.

No. I have checked it out.

It’s pretty simple for me:

- I can kayak to Canada in moments, my house is right on the border.

- I can walk down to the dock and catch the seaplane to either Seattle or Vancouver, and from there be in London in 9 hours or so. A bit longer if I stop off in Iceland.

- if you have more time, you can leisurely sail from here to just about anywhere.

True… but how long can you stay or live there permanently? Canada especially requires you to have mega dollars

It’s easy to move to Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, just to name a few.

Well, I’m in my early 60s, and my male relatives tend to live to their late-90s, so, 30+ years or so?

That is not what I meant. You may have enough cash to relocate but if you do not you can only stay for a limited amount of time yearly.

The question also is … do you want to live in those places? I have been to all and only Costa Rica would be a maybe. I have not checked their requirements because it would be a place low on the list. The living conditions in Mexico and Thailand would not be easy.

I read YMOYL, followed the plan, and retired, in 1999 or so. I have sufficient capital set aside to sustain me through most reasonable situations, and a few unreasonable ones.

I did the same but, evidently, not enough to relocate to Canada!

If you’re picky about these places that are fairly nice, I reiterate, you are not sufficiently motivated to leave the United States.
