Absolutely.
But I am not an island.
My Mrs. of 40 years is Korean.
I can not just go anywhere and dump her off in some prejudice craphole and wash my hands as she will most likely live longer than I.
We found a couple of retirement places in SoCal, but I still have to sell my business.
For me, living in Korea is not an option. 20 years ago maybe, but not now.
I am originally a Buckeye...:eek:

X, I understand your concernes, But times really have changed. I now live in the mid-west. Been married 48 years. My next door neighbor is an Black couple on one side, and Porta Rican couple on the other. Hey! I even have a Democrat across the street! And believe it or not, we all get along! We live in what I'd discribe as a "Mid- Management" level development. My Doctor lives just down the street. Tax's, and Utilities are half what they are in California. Gas is about a dollar a gal, cheaper. Insurance is cheaper also......... Just for the heck of it I looked up real estate in K.C.'s neck of the woods and found this: https://www.coldwellbanker.com/property/15330-W-86th-St-Lenexa-KS-66219/31144107/detail?src=list

Thanks, however, we visited many places before making our decision.
Little Gated Senior community in SoCal is perfect for us.
We have enough funds that we will live very comfortably there.
Although we don't need it yet, there are shuttles to shopping and a weekly bus trip to Las Vegas.
Not too far from Bob Hope airport if we want to travel on NRSA passes.
Unless things change, we already made our decision.
Take Care,
xUT

I go to Vegas every other year or so.
Pretty entertaining place, lots of good restaurants and bars.
I like the French Restaurant at Paris-Paris.
A little expensive, but excellent food.

ideal for the both of you. Wishing the two of you the best:).

I'm planning in retiring at 62 next year. With my pension, SS and 401K money, I have calculated that at a very low (perhaps unrealistically conservative) growth rate, I can live comfortably in KC until I'm in my mid 80's. Most men in my family die in their mid 70's, so I've got a 10 year buffer. But it would last me about 3 months in the Golden State.
