A suggestion.

It’s hard to get accepted to live in Europe, Canada, other places we might think of.

I’ve been looking at Egypt. Because I lived there for a year, 1990-1991, stationed there in the Army.

They are very tolerant of expats. Very friendly and helpful. Cost of living is 65% of US cost of living.

You can get a retirement visa with only this…show proof of ability to support yourself financially (maybe about 2,000 dollars a month), show no criminal record, show no serious communicable diseases like HIV etc.

I will post some videos about living in Egypt as an ex-Pat tomorrow.

It’s not as crazy an idea as it might seem.

I felt safer in Egypt than here in the U.S.

P.S. I’m not saying move there without first doing a ton of research. Talk with expats on line, watch videos, spend dozens or hundreds of hours on research before deciding. And I’m not saying Egypt is right for anyone except me. Well, maybe I am because I am offering it up as a possibility people may not have considered. But for sure do tons of research, don’t just take my word for anything. I just felt the need to offer it up as an idea. And I am truly trying to talk my husband into moving us there, so you can tell I do have the courage of my convictions.

P.P.S. As far as the weather goes, not all that different from Southern California, actually.
