Would have a Canada pension of 2100 and personal pension of about 600. Have about 350k in investment mostly oil gas utility, some mineral and mining. Thinking we would put our home in trust to our son…. And then slow travel. It’s possible. Key would be. Becoming a non tax resident of Canada. So all my pension and investment would not be taxed annually…. Exit tax for the investment accounts

I'm jut little shy away from 350k in invest right now, i can tell you that i'm very close to make the big jump myself!! Turning 52 this year. Looking to start my CPP around 60. For a longtime traveller in SEA i dream of that D day for years already. Thx to you as always, for sharing your thoughts 😊

Just looked up quote with your advertised insurance, Genki. For a 70 year old 1 year of insurance, €1,200 a Month. I also checked other travel insurance, most won't insure anyone over 70. And if you get a retirement visa in Thailand and buy insurance as a non Thai it is also very expensive.

The budget busters are the things that you didn't really plan on, such as traveling back to your homeland. For 3 of us to travel back and forth will cost about $2k per person. It's not hard to blow the budget if that need arises a couple times in 5 years. I think the most responsible approach is to budget twice as much as it should cost and live stress free when it doesn't!

Hi Chris, $200, 000 is too small to Retire in the U.S. Maybe in another country that would be possible , but definitely not U.S.

Good effort but you missed a key point. Most of us in our 50's and looking at retiring early have a pension coming like US social security between the ages of 62-67 ish depending what country you are in. That $200K+ investment only has to last for the gap up to the pension with as much principle in tact as possible.
