Retire Rich - Retire to France

One issue of major concern to each and every one of us is whether we will be able to afford to retire when the time comes.

It's not so much a case of us worrying about having no money in the bank at all and no pension whatsoever, it's more a case of whether what we will have to look after us financially in retirement will actually stretch to cover our preferred standard of living - because the cost of living and the price of real estate in the world seem to be ever increasing.

Well, the good news is that if you want to retire rich you should retire to France.

Why?

Because not only is France rich in heritage, history, culture and class, it is a nation with a wealth of retirement lifestyle options that are very affordable indeed meaning that with only a relatively small pot of money to see your through retirement you can actually retire to France and enjoy an exceptionally opulent standard of living.

Your money will go further in France because the climate in the south of the nation is just so perfect year round. You have mild and relatively dry winters which will cut down on your heating bills and you have stunning sun kissed summers meaning that France is a great country to live in for the weather.

The stunning sunny summer days means that France is also a nation rich in terms of its agriculture industry - this means that the nation produces excellent food and wine which is available from local farmer's markets and individual vendors for a fraction of the price you would pay for such exquisite cuisine in your supermarkets back home.

You can retire rich in France in terms of your day to day quality of life too - because geographically the nation is stunning so you can travel France on a low budget and just take in its natural delights. And what's more, many of the country's monuments and mansions, sites of historical interest and museums and galleries are free for you to enjoy.

France is also highly and cheaply accessible. It has over 450 airports across the country with cheap flight operators flying in from across the globe. Additionally the road and rail networks in France are superior and well maintained so you can get anywhere and everywhere for a low cost...again, this helps retirement income go far further.

And finally you can buy or rent property in France away from the main cities, towns and holiday resorts for a fraction of the price you would pay for real estate in America, Great Britain or elsewhere in Northern America or Western Europe - so if you want to ensure you will retire rich all you have to do is retire to France!
