Editor's Blog: Would you retire abroad?

If you've ever considered retiring in another country, you're not alone.

According to a survey of 300 Singaporeans aged 21 to 55, two-thirds indicated that they have thought about retiring in another country with a slower pace of life and lower cost of living.

Only 50% felt comfortable with the physical and social support available here, while 90% want to spend their old age at home, and not in a nursing home.

It's interesting how "a slower pace of life" and "lower cost of living" are reasons that Singaporeans commonly cite for not wanting to spend their twilight years here. Is Singapore really such a bad place to retire in?
