It's not as easy as folks think it is. Depending on the country, will need about $1M in the bank and/or to invest in the new country, plus retirement income. You can't work most countries. If you don't speak the language. Good luck setting up bank accounts, registering car, etc.

We shall see. Congress needs to act on AI, The GENIUS Act, government corruption, multinational corp monopolizatiin, close tax loopholes, and support a labor representative economy that funds high-quality education and Healthcare. In my opinion.

Please include all the younger generations who couldn't bother to become engaged and vote. 7 million people couldn't be bothered. Unions rights, Social Security,the EPA, CDC,CPA....and on anyone we're championed and became law by older generations. Then they were slowly chipped away & lessened.

Its ok...but if any EU citizens see them, remind them in who they voted TWICE, and why many things are going up in price everywhere...just keeping them aware of the reality.

I too dream of the day when an American president is seen with anything but a vacant look.

Or voted for him...

Sadly, most Americans can't afford to retire.

The latter.

In our communities retiring incomers also mean that village schools have had to close as families with young children cannot afford to live there, doctor’s surgeries & home care services are stretched, worse still many bring their right wing politics with them, oh & they don’t learn the language.

Aren't Portuguese sick of people like you driving up prices?

lol . Yes Tavira . I live in VRSA . I bought my place in 2 years ago , my place doubled , now . I saw brand new apartment in VRSA for 800 000 euros. In village of VRSA . Tavira is even more pricey.

I would love to go.

Look at the waiting lists for medical care first, unless you can afford to go private.

I have and the maximium out put is less that would need...they put out 3 ml and I need to be on 6 ml...I'm sorry to say...but thank you for the suggestion..👍

And to live under a sane government.

Which already has a serious housing shortage

Same! I’ve never been able to vote in an election where the Republican wasn’t running on an insane and dystopian platform. I thought McCain might have been reasonable, but then he decided to take a sharp right into crazyville. I probably would have voted Obama anyway though, I really like him.

Yeah we built those systems up and paid and worked to get it functioning like this, which is hard because we are short staffed in care facilities as it is. They should work to fix their own country instead.

😍🥰

Not on the menu, unfortunately. Since one of their own (Lieberman)vetoed the ACA Public Option more than a decade ago, Ds have never pushed it, let alone M4A. They did however, shut down the gov to preserve public subsidies to profitable ins companies that can pay their CEO $10M/yr or more.

Of course: pursuit of hapiness💪 Make yourself independent of🤡🤡 (oh, and please vote them out the next time).

Treat em like unwanted immigrants pls

Yeah thanks, using facilities and networks you never paid into at all and just reaping the benefits. Fix the country you broke with extreme capitalism first before you come to mooch off what we built up. We already have issues with a greying population and don't need you to make it worse.

Gee I cant imagine why.

It was before they moved here with their $$$

It's not as easy as you think. And you'll need a lot of USD frozen in a bank. Only the rich have choices. The rest of us are their slaves. #tax the rich

Haven't they been telling Europeans that their countries were dirt poor, shitty and crime infested places? Or is this another Schrödinger's fact from them. There when its convenient and absent when its not?

probably better health care too. Maybe MUCH MUCH better?

What if we don’t want them? Guess that when you’re old and decrept talking about public healthcare is no longer such a radical”socialist” concept, hey? Its convenient to do the fuck you want when you’re young and free, and then cry when you realize how your beloved system doesn’t care about you…hey?

The only good thing that saves me from prescriptions on Medicare is that there’s a $2500 cap (up from $2000 last year, unfortunately), and Biden got rid of the “donut hole”. I take thousands of dollars worth of heart meds.

Nobody can afford it, it is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in our country. It is absolutely insane!

Is it because I don’t want to pick up the medical bills? That seems like an awfully all-encompassing policy, I mean, look at Stephen Hawking!

I can understand that (packing up and going home). I moved to California from Cape Cod and got “stuck” there for 29 years (kids), as soon as the last kid went off to college I moved back.

Right, and Medicare covers nothing outside of the country. You have to buy supplementary insurance if you take a trip.

The important step is to get a resident visa. And passive income (like my small amount from US social security) may be enough for a retirement type of resident visa. immigrantinvest.com/residence-fo...

Check ups are nothing, it’s the ongoing problems that appear in seniors. I’ve had cancer and heart failure, including going into cardiogenic shock. No one wants to pick up that tab.

Not as easy as it sounds. There are still immigration controls for Americans moving to EU or UK. And it can be a huge deterrent to people with few assets or pension pots! Plus it can take many month even years. You dont just jump on a plane and retire in Italy. Just like Europeans cant retire here!

An Irish retirement sounds right.

Nah, we're in Hawaiiu. Next best thing.

Can the last American shut the lights off? - thank you for your attention in this matter.

This practice should be banned until they get their own country in order. The affect of the US worldwide is already too much

Yes. Definitely avoid coming here, please.

As Europeans shout "Thanks, but no thanks!"

Yeah, but they all hate us now.

I would if I could.

They're cracking down on immigration with new laws coming in June, and yeah it will be a lot like the US actually.

Haven't we suffered enough?

I would love to. But I’m senior citizen 🕊️🕊️🕊️

We can't allow the ignorance and fascism of the Old Criminal in the White House to scare us out of our country. I speak French and Spanish--but I'm staying to fight.

Welcome to Europe!

Moved to the UK to work in national security, since my birth country, after 15 years of service, decided that I was "DEI" for their national security. The UK folks appreciated my skill set and here we are. Needless to say, I didn't vote for the bollocks happening back home, but I cherish England.

Vote wrong your whole life, cause the collapse of a country, take the last of your wealth and fuck off to Spain. Love that for boomers. 🙏🙏❤️❤️✌️✌️

The people who can are leaving to escape the stupid violent Republican shit eating imbeciles.

The "American Dream" - spend your life dreaming, then wake up and move to countries that have everything you've been dreaming about. American's should stay home and clean up their own mess.

We did not and do not all think that. Propaganda.

European here, please don't.

See? Americans can be all for immigrants when it suits them

Eww. Could they just fucking not? Loud, obnoxious, and they complain about EVERYTHING.

Oh great. Do not pay taxes in our country and then come abuse the universal healthcare when retired. Please go back and sort out the mess you created.

Build a wall. Keep them out.

It was this way when I travelled in 1999 too so I cut my patch off with a Swiss Amry knife.

I believe it.

Please stay at home and wallow in the mess you've made for the rest of us. We will ask you who you voted for.

Don't worry, we're staying. Somebody's got to clean up our mess, and make things right again.

It’s not free, they still have to pay into the system to be able to use it.

No! Don’t! Please stay away. We don’t need you. We don’t want you.

nah probably Canada because my grandmother was born there😇

True, I was told when I went out of the country by foreigners to say I was from Canada

I hope the vulnerable ones fleeing find exception but yeah 👍

Your generation has been in charge of damn near everything public, private, and nonprofit since the 90’s and look where we are now. Such losers even refused to retire and held on to the jobs and houses. And now that the medical system that boomers refused to fix is too expensive you’re leaving.

Donald Trump the President of the United States of America is a PEDOPHILE

if you feel like learning russian in a few years, then yes

thank you!

Americans have never been that popular to begin with. But people seem to like the American dollar no problem.

It is not only the language, also the culture. The UK is different than the USA. We Swiss notice this with German expats who have to learn that the German speaking part of Switzerland is different than Germany.

You should learn the language of the country you are living. You should adapt, not the habitants of the country.

A much better quality of life. I wish I could get out of this hellhole!

Lol they should stay where they are

So the boomers absolutely wrecked our economy and future... And are going to just... Leave? Neat.

What is this word "retire"?

Call these US retirees for what they are: Refugees from a shithole country that they've created for themselves. To establish permanence, there are rules to follow, and many will not be able to do so. Historically there has been a ton of good will with Americans, trust which is destroyed each day.

And they make it less affordable for the natives. Once again it’s all about “them”
