I'm thinking some wiz kid from a cheaper country could do this.
Bob is from Romania, he comes to America for college and gets a new grad offer at Twitter.
After 10 years he has a million in vested stock options, he sells em all to retire to the countryside of his youth.
I guess I could do the same, but I can't imagine it being easy to learn Romanian. All the English speaking countries are fairly expensive to live in.
- paradite 5y agoInteresting idea. What about moving to South East Asia? Low cost of living and plenty of English speakers settle here for retirement.
- 999900000999 5y agoI'm actually learning Chinese right now. If I get one of these magical FAANG offers, I might be able to retire by 40. I imagine if I do try and retire in a foreign country it would be much more difficult as I'd have to get used to the culture. The again with globalization and all that I guess I could just hang out in Starbucks no matter where I'm at
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoMedicare doesn’t transfer, so you have to fund your own healthcare passed 62-65, when you need the most of it. Guam is an option for Americans where Medicare will still work. Otherwise if healthcare costs aren’t an issue, I might retire to a tourist town in Yunnan.
