Question

What is the best place to retire with 2000 us dollars monthly income?

Answer 1

Argentina, definitely. It has the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen and all kinds of climate. If you like it warm you can go to the north, mountains in the west, jungle in the east. If you like it cold, go to the south, high peaks and snow in the west, the sea, penguins and whales in the east. If you don't like extreme weather, stay in the plains, visit Patagonia, Merlo in San Luis Province, the Moon Valley in San Juan Province (it really looks like being on the Moon!) If you like the beach, in their summer (December to March) enjoy their beaches on the Atlantic coast.

If you don't want to travel around much, just stay in Buenos Aires. It's like a European capital, full of glamour and plenty of cultural activities. As for the budget, you'll find it amazingly cheap, considering that the exchange rate is so favourable for us now ($1 = 3 pesos) and each dollar goes a long way. You don't even need to buy a house or flat. You can rent one out for 350 to 500 pesos a month, if you consider you'll be getting a pension of some 6000 pesos, wow! you'll be quite rich over there. And their food is delicious, especially if you like beef! You can eat out for 6 to 20 pesos, according to the restaurant. A bottle of the best wine is 15 pesos. As for health insurance, the best is Medicus and it will cost you some 500 pesos for family coverage. In Buenos Aires, don't forget to visit the Colon Theatre and to go to San Telmo for a tango evening! You'll love Argentina as much as I do, I promise. I hope I can retire there myself!

Wherever your cash will buy you more things. i see you are a londoner, so 2000 bucks wont get you pretty much there nor in the us nor anywhere in the industrialized world. on the other hand, $ 2000 will get you a pretty good living standard in south america. think of chile, brazil or even argentina --theres social unrest there every now and then and politicians are crooks but its pretty.

id pick brazil if i were you, but chile would be a pretty  good choice, as its stable, nice and safe --u wont get kidnapped like ud be in argentina or brazil. With this particular point in mind, dont even dare to think about peru, bolivia, colombia, venezuela, paraguay, ecuador, etc, etc.
