Many find retirement as the end of one’s working life. Part of it is true. However, it is not the end of your life as you know it. Instead, it is the beginning of a new chapter. It is the stage where you get to enjoy the life you never have time to do when we are all busy working for our future. This is the time we get to escape the pressure and stress we have during our employment days.
When we think about retirement, we usually jump to the things we do after retiring: Where to travel? What to eat? What to buy? These are just some questions every retiree asks. But the most important question one could ask during retirement is “Where to retire?” Since this is where you’ll be spending the rest of your golden years, it is just right to carefully choose where to settle down.
