Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

I can say with a military background that retiring in Asia is a goal for many. The pension of a high ranking US military person affords them to live like a rock star over there with the cost of living. This has been a thing since the early two thousands and now probably taught at boot camp. As with anything that seems too good to be true, there are some pitfalls. I’ll let people with the experience state them but it can’t be all rainbows or everyone would do it.
