International Living Global Retirement Index

The International Living Global Retirement Index ranks countries annually based on factors like cost of living, healthcare quality, residency requirements, and lifestyle amenities—metrics that directly shape where retirees can stretch their savings furthest. For expats planning retirement abroad, this index serves as a data-driven starting point to compare destinations and understand which locations offer the best combination of affordability and quality of life, though individual circumstances and personal priorities should always guide the final decision.
